Ellie's POV : the time seemed to fly by lately . The twins are walking and talking so much . My little babies aren't as little any more . Sofie and Matt are excited for there new baby sibling. Theo thinks it will be another baby girl but I'm getting the feeling it will be a boy . Since the twins had a complicated birth I was scheduled for a c-section for out baby. Today is March 23rd and I'm scheduled for the 25th so to say we're excited is an understatement!

Theos POV : it's 9pm and I'm still at the office finishing up files . Ellie texted me the twins are asleep so she was heading to bed . Ellie's doctor called us today to see how she's feeling and if baby is still doing well . So far knock on wood Ellie and baby are doing good . On the way home from work I was planning on going to the warehouse and getting the crib, dresser , changing table , Ellie's nursing rocking chair and our paint. Since we don't know the gender yet we planned on a black crib and changing table so it can go with the colors we picked out . If it's a boy we are going to do forest green on 3 of the walls and on the other wall forest tree stickers to make it the accent wall. If it's a girl we are doing bright yellow and doing sunflowers. It's 9:30 and I just finished the last file so I'm going to go down to the lobby and get my car . Lately it's been so exciting that our baby will be here soon . Yet I've been feeling so much anxiety, I have never been busier at work and I don't know how much time I'll be able to stay home and help Ellie out . I know my parents and her parents plan on visiting a lot but I just feel bad that she will have to not have as much help . I did reschedule a business trip for a month later so I don't have to leave so soon after the birth.

Ellie's POV : it's almost 10 pm and I can't sleep the baby is putting a lot of pressure on my bladder and I can tell they are running out of room in there haha. All we know is that our little one is super long and almost 8 pounds so they are nice and healthy and growing so big . I'm definitely more uncomfortable at nights now . I hardly can sleep . This little one kicks so much . I know it's cause it must be so crowded in there . A lot of my nerves and excitement as well play a big part in me not being able to sleep well at night. Theo got me a pregnancy pillow about 3 months ago and it's been helping a lot though .

It's a little past 10:30 and I hear those car pull up in the driveway . I always feel more at ease when he's home . I hear the front door open and close gently . Then the foot steps coming up the stairs . He entered the room with his tie undone and a tired gloom on his face but it instantly turns into a smile when he sees I'm still awake .

" hey , babe . I got the nursery stuff . I'll start putting it together tomorrow."

He says and sighs while coming over and giving me a kiss . I tell him " oh good , yay I'm so anxious! I can't wait to see if we're having a boy or a girl" he goes into the bathroom and turns on the shower . I know this is effecting him a lot . He's so busy at work then comes home and tries and gives me all his attention and energy he has left . He truly is selfless for our family but it hurts to see him always so exhausted.

Theo POV: ugh I just get in the hot steamy shower and feel the muscles in the showers relax . I sigh , I'm so mentally and physically worn down . So much is happening and it's definitely going to be so hard for me to give Ellie more help when the baby gets here . I've talked to my secretary and he's arranging for some of my work to be able to be done from home . So I'm hoping that after my business trip I can work feom home more and help Ellie out. I get out of the shower , dry off then Throw on some boxers and go to get in bed . Ellie's finally asleep so I try not to move to much I don't want to wake her up . I get under the covers and knock out .

Ellie's POV : I'm woken up to the smell of waffles and my mouth is salivating. I follow the sounds of kitchen clattering and see this has the twins in there high chairs and are eating breakfast while he's fast away cooking . " good morning hubby" I tell him and go up and give him a kiss. He smooches me back and says " good morning baby momma. Come sit food almost done. I've made all your favorites. Even made home made orange juice cause I know how much you've been craving it lately ."

He places a huge plate of strawberry and raspberry cream cheese Waffles. My absolute favorite. There's also sausage, toast , eggs, bacon , a parfait with granola, topped of with the orange juice . I take my fork and cut a big piece of the waffle and stuff it in my mouth and give a moan of delight . They are so good .

" baby these are delicious, matter of fact the best ones I've ever had !" I mumbled as I kept eating . Theo laughs and says good and kisses the top of my head .

After breakfast we clean up and go to the nursery . I'm going to read the instructions as Theo assembles the crib . Right now the twins are playing with there toys in the nursery with us . They are occupied and staying out of theos way so he's able to build fast . It's about 3 hours in and we just finished . It looks so good .

We get the twins and take them to a park . There favorite thing to do lately is slides by themselves. They are very independent and haven't been liking us helping them as much. They also really love the swings . Matts under the playground playing in the sand . He loves to eat it so i have to watch him carefully . Ellie's getting pushed in the swings by Theo . I love our neighborhood. It's so cozy and feels so safe . The park is a short 5 minute walk away and I walk it almost everyday before nap time with the twins in the stroller . Giggles are filling the air and I look over to Sofie and Theo got her out of the swings and is spinning with her in circles . They stop and he lays in the grass and she starts to climb on him . Matt saw this and grabbed the bars to stand up. he made it to the grass then crawled over to Theo and climbed on top of him. Matt and sofie and bouncing on Theo and he groans . They laugh and he starts to tickle them . I smile and just love watching Theo be the best father. I'm so lucky to have him as my husband. He works so hard , yet always makes sure he gets every moment spent with the twins and I that he can . It's almost noon so we picked the twins up and walk back home .

Now we're back home we wash up the twins hands and put them in there high chairs for lunch . After the messy eating , Theo and I get them cleaned up . Change there diapers and put them down for nap time . Theo and I walk to our room and hop in bed . I'm exhausted, I lay down and sigh .

Theos POV : " hey babe , how are you feeling ?" I ask Ellie as she just laid in bed . She sighs and says " I'm exhausted but I'm doing ok." She says and rubs her belly . I go over and lift her shirt up over her bump and take some Anti stretch mark lotion . Supposedly the lotion is to help Ellie's belly stay less starch marky. I warm up the lotion with my hands and rub it in . Ellie smiles and says " that feels so relaxing. Thank you baby . You are always there to try and help me feel relaxed and always taking care of me" she says and starts to cry .

" babe don't cry . Your my wife , my eternity. I'll always be here and support you . Take care of you and the twins ." I say and wipe her tears away and kiss her forehead . I spoon her and she falls asleep .

Ellie's POV : it's now the 24th Theo has me on bed rest . He doesn't want me on my feet today. I can't complain it's been nice but being a mom it's hard not to want to but in and help him . The twins are going to theos parents house today and they will watch them until after the baby's delivered . He's getting them in the car right now . They came up to me and he put them in my bed . I have them snuggles and kisses . I've never spent a day away from my babies . I'm going to miss them . I can see from my window in the bedroom they are leaving the drive way now .

I'm going and getting my shower and making sure my hospital bag is packed . Theos back about an hour ago . He filled in his parents about how tomorrow will go . My parents can't travel cause of the Covid virus . So we will Skype them at the hospital. Theos parents will watch Matt and Sofie until me and baby are cleared to come home . I'm going to bed to try and get as much sleep as i can . Tomorrow will be very busy . I'm super excited for it and am so ready to see if we're having a baby boy or girl . Theo is sleeping in the guest room tonight because he doesn't want to accidentally disturb my sleep .

Theos POV: it's 5am and it's baby time . I get Ellie in the car and get her bag . I buckle her in. She's still very sleepy . The hospital is about 30 minute drive so I'll let her rest as long as she can . The nerves are so real . I'm so anxious. After the twins birth I'm just been on the edge hoping for our baby's health to stay good . Plus I'm dying to know if we're having another boy or girl . The ride goes by pretty fast with not a lot of traffic . I pull up front of the hospital and the nurse comes out and get Ellie in a wheel chair . I go and park the car and get her bag and mine . I packed some stuff just in case . I go in and find her room . She's in a gown and iv in her right wrist . Baby's heart doppler is on and the heart beat is perfect . Every thing is going well . The doctor came in and said Ellie's schedule is delayed because they have an emergency surgery. We say that's ok. So we are watching a movie in her room as she's laying in bed trying to get comfortable. About 2 hours later the nurses come in and say " it's baby time". They wheel her away as I go and get in scrubs so I can be in the surgery room with her

Ellie's POV: I'm now in the operation room and they are getting me all set up and ready to go . The numb me all up and next thing I know they are going to town to get out lovely baby out . Then me and Theo gasp as we hear the cry of our baby . He grabs my hand and we both start to tear up . Then we hear from a nurse " mom , dad would you like to meet you precious baby boy "

I busted into tears as they lay my little boy on my shoulder. He's perfect . So plump and so cute . A mother's love is something nothing can break . I'm in such awe. I kiss his head and then the nurses go and get him cleaned up . Theo goes and watches them and takes pictures of our boy . They are stocked me up and then I can go to recovery in my room . I get back to my room and knock out . I'm so extremely exhausted. I get a 1 hour nap then I'm woken up to feed my lovely baby boy . He latched on like a pro . His big cheeks rosey and his bright eyes staring into mine . Right now this is the happiest I've ever felt . It's this moment that a mother can never express its just pure unconditional love .

" hey love , have you thought of a name for him yet ? " Theo asks me as he comes and sits on the side of my bed. " yes I have . I'm thinking Declan Theodore knight" I tell him staring at his face . He smiles brightly and says " I love it !" He then bends down and whispers to Declan . " hello Declan , I'm daddy and I just want to say you are loved so much . I will always be here for you little guy. Me and mommy are so excited to welcome you into our family baby boy . Your arrival has been the best thing" he says as his voice breaks . He's so full of emotion .

Theos POV: its 5 pm now and Ellie's asleep again and I have Declan on my chest . We are doing skin to skin so he can bond with me . I decide I can FaceTime Ellie's parents and show them Declan. As soon as they answers I hear so many emotions . Ellie's mom is crying saying " look at him , he's so pure" Ellie's dad asked " well son , have you guys picked a name ?"

" we have , this is little Declan Theodore knight" I tell them as I move the phone around to give them better view of him . They are so in love with him and can't wait for there quarantine to be up to come see him .

( skips time . Ellie and Declan come home )

Ellie's POV : I was discharged and were home today . Theos parents just got her and the twins come sit on the couch as I show them there new brother . Sofie gasps and says " ba ba !" And kisses his hand . Matt smiles and touches Declan's little feet in his onesie . Theos parents come over and I let them hold him and get some bonding time . Theo comes behind me and wraps his arms me and says " this is the life I've always dreamed of . Thank you Ellie's for making my life seem like a dream . I've never knew I could be this happy and in love . I'm a proud dad of three now and maybe someday 4 " he says and kisses my check . I laugh and say " well let's slow down on the baby making . I want to take a break for now and just take it all in" I smile . He laughs and agrees . I just watch as the twins and their grandparents are spoiling Declan with love and in this moment my life has never felt this complete !
