The double surprise for the Hustons
It’s been a few weeks after the wedding, and Aurora still had that sick feeling in her stomach. One day she was so pale that she could barely walk straight. Dylan got scared and begged her to go see a doctor.
She agreed. The doctor, after a series of exams, deducted that it’s a cold she’s been dealing with. She went back home and went straight to bed. The next day, she felt a little better so she decided to pay Hope a visit.
“He said it was a cold?”
Hope felt something was off. Aurora seemed way better though, so she didn’t continue talking on that subject. However, just as she was about to send Aurora on her way back to the city, right when she walked out the door she screamed.
“Are you okay? What happened?!”
Hope held her with one hand and tried getting hair out of her face with the other.
“My stomach...it’s like my insides are being torn apart!”
Hope didn’t have much time to react, the first thing she though of was grabbing her phone and calling a cab. The cab came two minutes later, and the two got up from the sidewalk and got inside. In no time, they reached the hospital where Aurora was rushed in for an emergency examination of the lower abdomen. After a while, a nurse named Ella walked out of the examination room. She seemed pretty cheerful.
“Is my sister going to be okay?”
Hope was terrified. She didn’t know what kind of news to expect.
“She’s going to be just fine, she’s been overdoing it with the workouts I bet. In her condition, she should avoid her gym.”
Hope was confused.
“Her condition? What...are...you...?”
Ella giggled.
“You’re gonna be an auntie soon girl, cheer up your sister’s gonna be a mom!”
Hope nearly fell over.
“Okay, now I’m going to need to take your pressure. Hold up...”
Ella measured her pressure and it was a bit lower but that was only from excitement. After a few minutes, when Hope and her blood pressure stabilized she was allowed to see her sister who was resting in one of the patient rooms. She was given some fluids before she could be released.
“Hey...auntie...”
A half-asleep Aurora mumbled out, with a smile breaking out all over her face.
“You’re gonna be a mom...Congratulations honey...wait, does Dylan know?”
Aurora’s face changed from happy to shocked.
“Oh my God! Get my phone, I completely forgot to tell him...the poor guy must be freaking out by now!”
Aurora called him and explained everything. He just started to sob from the other side in disbelief.
It was gonna be weird few months until the delivery, but nothing like family to tough it all out right?
After a few months...delivery time?
So, a few months went by quite fast. Aurora’s due date was approaching and she was becoming more and more anxious to meet her new bundle of joy. Her sister had been helping the happy parents to be with cradle selection. She promised them that it’d fit the apartment’s decor and especially their bedroom’s decor and that it’d be neutral so it’d fit any gender.
Even though she was near the end of her pregnancy, Aurora still wanted to go to the gym. She knew one person who was obsessed with regaining her long-lost figure and that person happened to be her best friend Isabelle.
“Are you nuts? Do you wanna know what happened to me when I tried running with a belly that big? Of course not, so stay the hell away from the gym until about three weeks after the delivery. Also, I can pop by in your neighborhood after my workout if you want...I know how you love that food stand downstairs...”
Aurora started to laugh.
“Sure, alright. I’ll listen to you Isa...see ya soon!”
Isabelle was done after an hour and the two met at the food stand in the pedestrian area across from Aurora’s building. They had Aurora’s favorite dish and talked about all kinds of baby-related things - mostly about the name.
“I am not letting you name my baby Elfin.”
Aurora said, nudging Isa playfully on her shoulder.
“I think that’s a very nice name though....alright fine if it’s a boy how about...Edwin?”
Aurora laughed even harder.
“I’ll consider it....I thought perhaps Adrien for a boy?”
Isa gave her a thumb up.
“So, when’s your due date anyways?”
Aurora opened up her calendar on her phone. On one of the check-ups at the doctor’s office she marked the date on her electronic calendar.
“O....it’s ...uh...tomorrow?”
Isabelle spat out her drink.
“What?! And you with your sane ... no wait... INsane mind are out here with me?!”
Aurora started laughing again.
“I’m fine, the baby is fine in there, no kicking, so we’re all good.”
After a while longer the two went home. Isa made sure Aurora got to her flat safely first, before going to catch her ride to Brindleton Bay.
In the middle of the night, a hard kick woke Aurora up. She felt like the baby was going to rip her stomach apart. She went to the bathroom and used the toilet and after that she decided to walk the pain off around the flat.
After the pain simmered down she decided to go look around the wide web for pregnancy and delivery time tips.
Just then, as she sat down an enormous kick in the stomach made her scream in pain. After that she felt that she was being soaked and ran to Dylan to wake him up.
“Get the bag, it’s time! Now!”
Dylan was barely awake but when he heard the last part of the sentence he just ran across the room, grabbed the bag and half-dressed helped his wife to the elevator. The huge pain hadn’t started yet but she wasn’t completely pain-free. In the taxi she could barely breathe.
“Relax, please...You’ll get through this...I know you will..”
He took her hand and pecked it. That didn’t exactly help reduce the pain, but it boosted her confidence up a little bit.
Finally after half an hour they arrived at the hospital. Ella, the doctor who helped Aurora before was there.
“O, delivery day?”
Dylan just nodded yes.
“Right this way then, I’ll get you checked in later. This is a ticking bomb that cannot wait.”
Ella took Aurora in a delivery room, while Dylan was freaking out in the hallway, because in all the action he missed the part where Aurora was taken to a room and actually didn’t see which room she was taken into so he couldn’t follow.
Inisde the delivery room it was just Ella and Aurora.
“Weren’t you a nurse?”
Aurora asked, between screams.
“I was...I am, but we’re short on staff and my area is deliveries so...”
Aurora just nodded and pressed her head onto the bed.
“O, it’s almost out.....”
A cry was heard. A baby’s cry.
“Is it...”
Aurora could barely speak. She was still in pain.
“Yes, congratulations, you’re a proud mom of a baby girl!”
Aurora just smiled briefly and then a new wave of pain came. She had no idea why she felt like something else was coming out of her as well.
“Ella, is everything...”
Ella stared at the screen pale as a mop.
“We might have an issue...”
Aurora got scared. She thought something went wrong, and that either her or her baby wouldn’t make it and she started to tremble.
“What’s...what’s the matter?”
Ella’s face lit up. She just let a slight sigh and smiled.
“Well, prepare to welcome your second child......”
Just then a huge nudge made Aurora scream and another cry was heard. Another baby had arrived.
“What?!”
Aurora raised her head. She saw Ella put another baby in a baby bed.
“Say hi to your son...”
She rolled the bed towards Aurora. Then she rolled the little girl to her as well. After making sure all was well she instructed another nurse to take them all in a recovery room while she went to notify the father.
“Oh thank goodness! How is she?”
Ella took him towards the rooms. She opened up one of the doors and led him in.
“You mean how are they...right?”
She showed him Aurora holding two babies in her hands.
“Twins?!”
His voiced pitched up. Aurora just burst in laughs.
“Hey you signed up for the role of the father, no take-backs!”
He just sat next to her and kissed all three of them.
“You’re my family, my everything...I’ll never step out on you...”
Ella teared up, as she peeked from a crack in the door. She then left the happy family to rest up together. The following day, they were all given green lights and clean bill of health papers and were allowed to go home.
The first moment they went in, they saw Hope inside with two cradles.
“I didn’t know which to take so I took bo- “
She stopped talking when she saw them walk in with two babies.
“On second thought, good thing I did.”
And so, Dylan and Aurora are now a mom and a dad. Let’s see how they handle these roles - and yes Isabelle named the girl Crystal as their official godmother while Aurora stuck with Adrien for her son.
