Chapter 6 Time to be Born (2/2)
”We have two beautiful children,” Patrick said as he faced his wife, Delilah.
”Two very special children,” she agreed, not realising that her words carried far more truth than she ever realised. For now, it was enough to see that the strong bond between the twins was truly special and wonderful.
”What are their names?” asked the Head nurse
”Kyle and Kayla,” answered Patrick.
Kylie, or rather, Kyle, listened and was contented. It was close enough to her … no, his previous life's name. He must start thinking of himself as a male now, and needed to put his previous life as a woman aside. He opened his eyes slowly, to look as his new sister. She also opened her eyes slowly at that time, and they looked at each other with a smile.
”Hi brother”
”Hi sister”
A sense of fierce protectiveness suddenly came over Kyle, and he knew, without a doubt, that he would die rather than have her ever feel any sense of pain. He was first shaken at this strong feeling, and was surprised. He had thought that the feelings of a mother over her child was strong, but this feeling that he had for his sister went beyond that.
He looked at her clear blue eyes, soft curly hair, silky soft skin and sporting such a sweet, adorable smile on those small pink lips. He could see how long her eyelashes were, and that cute button nose. Even at one day old, she was already a looker. Fine, he could be biased but he didn't think so. Kyle could imagine how she'd be like when she grew older. He thought of all the boys that would be chasing after her, and how none of them would be worthy. Kay is too pure and good for any horny boy. Kyle grit his gums together, not liking the thought.
The air in the room became cold suddenly, and Patrick became worried. He looked at his babies, and took another small blanket to put over them, tucking them in together. It actually felt like the cold was even more intense in their cradle, and he frowned. He looked up at the central air-conditioning, and decided to move his babies cradle to another spot. He would need to talk to the Director of the hospital about this. Such a cold environment isn't suitable for newborns!
Kay giggled in his mind, catching his mood, ”Careful Brother. That Killing Aura isn't suitable for a one-day old baby. You'll freeze everyone here.”
Kyle snorted, replying, ”No one would attribute it to me” but he still calmed down and retracted his aura. He didn't think it would manifest in such a way, however. Guess when one feels intensely about something, it is somehow manifest externally. Weird. What Kyle did not realise, however, that it wasn't really a normal thing for anyone to do - be it an adult, let alone a baby.
The room's temperature became comfortable again, and Patrick shook his head, putting it down to a slight malfunction of the air-conditioning at that moment. He was still unhappy, but decided not to mention it anymore. They wouldn't be staying in this hospital for long anyway, and once discharged, the house would be a far better place to be. The nursery was already ready, including the two nannies for the babies, and caretaker for Delilah during the confinement period. The cold, big house is going to be filled with new life.
Patrick smiled at the thought, and kissed his wife's forehead again, wiping the hair away from her face. She was asleep now, and he didn't want to disturb her. The pregnancy had only been possible after years of fertility treatment. Delilah was also of small build, so carrying twins had placed a heavy burden on her small frame. She had even spent the last five months in bed as she had suffered some spotting. Yet, despite it all, she had gone through it all with a smile, and hardly a complaint. He felt truly blessed, and appreciated all that she had been through.
He held her hand, and watched his babies slowly close their eyes and fall asleep.
Life is good.
