Kiefer's POV
My hands were shaking.
One minute we were celebrating Kyla and Aries' wedding.
The next…
Jay was unconscious in my arms.
"Move!" I shouted as I carried her toward the car.
Dad, Mom, Keegan, Kieran, Kyla, and Aries followed behind me.
The entire ride to the hospital felt endless.
"Please be okay…" I whispered.
I couldn't lose her.
Not again.

Author's POV
After what felt like hours, the doctor finally came out.
Everyone immediately stood up.
Kiefer was the first one to reach him.
"How is she?" he asked.
The doctor smiled.
"Congratulations."
Kiefer blinked.
"What?"
The doctor chuckled.
"Your wife is pregnant."
Silence.
Complete silence.
Then—
"WHAT?!"
Everyone shouted at the same time.
⸻
Jay's POV
I slowly opened my eyes.
The first thing I saw was Kiefer.
His eyes were red.
Like he had been crying.
"Keif?"
Before I could say anything, he hugged me carefully.
So carefully.
As if I would disappear.
"You scared me," he whispered.
I blinked.
"What happened?"
Everyone suddenly entered the room.
Mom.
Dad.
Keegan.
Kieran.
Kyla.
Aries.
Kaiser.
All smiling.
All crying.
All at the same time.
I looked around confused.
"Why is everyone looking at me like that?"
Mom wiped her tears.
Kyla squealed.
Kieran nearly jumped.
And then Kiefer kissed my forehead.
"Baby…"
His voice shook.
"You're pregnant."
I froze.
"What?"
"You're pregnant."
My eyes widened.
"No…"
Kiefer laughed through his tears.
"Yes."
I immediately started crying.
He started crying too.
The room turned into chaos.
Happy chaos.
For the first time since we lost our baby…
There was hope again.

Seven Months Later
Jay's POV
Everyone treated me like glass.
Literally.
"Jay, sit down."
"Jay, don't carry that."
"Jay, eat this."
"Jay, drink water."
"Jay, sleep."
"Jay, breathe."
I rolled my eyes.
Especially Kiefer.
He had become impossible.
One time I bent down to pick up a spoon.
The man nearly had a heart attack.
"JAY!"
"It was a spoon!"
"It could've been a dangerous spoon!"
I couldn't stop laughing.

Two Months Later
Author's POV
The delivery day arrived.
The entire Watson family was outside the hospital room.
Kiefer looked ready to faint.
Dad looked ready to faint.
Keegan looked ready to faint.
Kieran looked ready to faint.
Even Kaiser looked nervous.
Only Serena remained calm.
For about ten seconds.
Then she started pacing too.
⸻
Kiefer's POV
I heard Jay scream.
My soul left my body.
"Should I go in there?"
"No."
"What if she needs me?"
"No."
"What if—"
"Kiefer."
Dad grabbed my shoulder.
"Sit."
I sat.
Then stood up again.
Then sat again.
Then stood again.
Everyone was tired of me.
⸻
Author's POV
Finally…
The doctor came out.
A huge smile was on his face.
"Congratulations."
Kiefer immediately ran forward.
"Is Jay okay?"
"She's perfectly fine."
Kiefer nearly collapsed from relief.
"And your baby is healthy too."
Everyone smiled.
Then the doctor looked confused.
"Actually…"
Everyone froze.
"There's something we missed."
Kiefer's heart stopped.
"What?"
The doctor laughed.
"You don't have one baby."
Silence.
"You have two."
⸻
Kiefer's POV
"…What?"
The doctor grinned.
"Twins."
My brain stopped working.
"Twins?"
"One baby was positioned behind the other during the scans. It was difficult to detect."
I stared at him.
Then at my family.
Then back at him.
"Twins?"
"Yes."
Kieran started laughing.
Keegan looked shocked.
Kyla screamed.
Mom cried.
Dad cried.
Aries laughed.
Kaiser looked like he had just won the lottery.
And me?
I was still stuck on one word.
"Twins?"
⸻
Jay's POV
When they finally brought my babies to me…
I cried.
One tiny boy.
One tiny girl.
Perfect.
Beautiful.
Healthy.
Kiefer sat beside me holding both babies carefully.
He looked terrified.
I laughed.
"Relax."
"What if I drop them?"
"You won't."
"What if I—"
"Kiefer."
He looked at me.
I smiled.
"We did it."
His eyes filled with tears.
And as he looked at our son and daughter…
The happiest smile I had ever seen appeared on his face.
For the first time in a long time…
Everything felt complete…
