Chapter 96 Ninety-five
“ I'm grateful for you every single day. ”
***
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Miranda sat down at the nursery as she stared at her twin babies sleeping peacefully.
Though she'd placed them centimeters apart, they'd somehow gotten close to each other.
“ They will literally be inseparable. ” The words of her doctor rang in her ears, making her emotional.
“ I can always hear her speaking in my head. ” She smiled as she recalled the conversation she had with some different gender twins.
“ She's a part of me I can't escape from and without her, I'll be a living dead. ”
“ He was my first boyfriend and will forever be my first as everyone else comes second. ”
Recalling those dialogues, she wondered if her babies would be like that. Though the answer isn't so far fetched as it's slowly becoming obvious that they will be.
“ Good day, Babe. ” Miranda turned at the sight of her husband. “ Hey, you are back. ” Her tone was tired and spent.
“ Yup. ” He walked towards her and took her in his arms, but felt her withdrawal almost immediately.
“ I smell like milk. ” She explained, biting her lips. He chuckled, embracing her. “ Doesn't matter. ” They remained in that position for several minutes before breaking apart.
“ They are beautiful. ” His words made her heart soar. “ Yeah. ”
“ I can only Imagine how inseparable they'll be when they grow up. ”
“ Same here. ” He grinned, before pulling her out of the nursery towards their room.
Shutting the door behind them,
“ What — ” He pulled her in for a long kiss, completely silencing her.
“ I've missed you. ” He said in between kisses.
“ Same here. ” She sighed, hugging him.
He moved away from her and began undressing. “ What are you doing? ” She stared wide-eyed at him.
“ Let's take a bath together, shall we? ” He'd lifted her off her feet before she could reply.

“ I've missed this. ” Miranda blushed red at his comments. She'd tried to dive deeper into the tub to hide herself from him but failed.
“ Are you shy? ” She nodded.
“ But there's nothing to be shy about, is there? ” He said, pulling her closer to him to their naked bodies were both touching.
“ Maybe. ” They stayed in that position for minutes without saying a word.
“ How was work today, Jose? ” He sighed hearing her. “ Going great. But I'd just heard that My mentor’s company is currently facing serious opposition. ”
“ What do you think is going on? Miranda was truly concerned, as she'd slowly grown attached to their family ever since she'd heard of them.
“ Well, a famous business tycoon has eyes on his wife — ”
“ You mean Malisa Evans? ”
“ Yup. You know she's beautiful, talented and all. So he's vowed to get her at all costs. ”
“ Oh wow. I'd never thought that what exists in romance novels could also exist in real life too. ”
“ You bet. ”
“ Hm. ”
“ What about you? How was your day? ”
“ It was okay. I was able to work on a few chapters of my book and all… ” She trailed off, ever since she'd given birth and had to stay out of work, she'd always felt lazy and unproductive. It sometimes feels like she's wasting time in the name of breast feeding.
“ We both know that you are doing a great job, Hon… ”
“ I know, but… ” He silenced her words with a kiss.
“ I love you. ” He rubbed his nose on hers playfully causing her to smile. “ I love you more. ”
“ Not as much as I do. ”
“ Wahhh… ” A cry from the nursery attracted their attention and they both exchanged gazes as Miranda swiftly got out of the tub and grabbed a bathrobe and put it on.
She'd just taken a step out when she slipped, “ Careful, Hon. ” He held her.
“ Thank you. ”
She'd literally run to the nursery where she met Nuella in tears.
Swiftly she carried her and had just begun breastfeeding her when she heard Jose's voice.
“ I thought it was Nuel. ” She stared shyly at his intense gaze on her.
“ Um… can you turn around? ” She bit her lips. “ I don't feel comfortable with you watching me… ” Though it's been over a week since she'd given birth, this was officially the first time he'd watched her breastfeed.
“ I won't, Babe. ” He walked towards her and crotched in front of her. He was now dressed in a blue bathrobe just as her. “ You are feeding our daughter and I'm super proud of you. ” He wiped her tears patting her face. “ Besides, I wanna see all of you. ”
“ Hm… Thank you. ” She broke the suction when she sensed Nuella was asleep and covered her breasts before placing her back on the bed.
“ She shouldn't wake up for another hour. ”
“ Okay… ” He replied, watching her. Just then her stomach grumbled and she stared shyly at him. “ I forgot to have lunch. ” She blushed.
“ Let's go do that now. ” She nodded and was about to take a step when he swept her off her feet. “ Let me do the walking, Babe. ” She nodded, enjoying his pampering.

They settled to a plate of fried rice and chicken after it had been microwaved.
Ever since she'd given birth, he hadn't allowed her into the kitchen and did all the cooking by himself and to make it easier and faster he prepared meals ahead and it's been great so far.
“ It tastes amazing. ”
“ I bet. ” He grinned, taking a bite himself.
Later,
They sat on the love seat arms in arms. “ You know, I've always thought you'll become quite distant after birth… ”
“ Why? ” His words came as a surprise to her indeed, cos why would she?
“ Well, I've heard of cases where women tend to love their kids more than their husbands. ” She grinned at the jealousy in his tone.
“ But we both know that will never happen, right? ”
“ Yup. You love me too much to shove me to one side.
“ Shameless. ” She hit her fist on his chest.
“ You'll never change. ”
“ Um… ” She replied drowsily and soon she was in the dream Land.
“ He laid a peck on her head before taking her to bed. Tucking her in, he patted her face gently before leaving to see his twins.
He'd made it a routine to spend at least thirty minutes with them on a daily basis, simply watching and speaking good tidings into their lives.
Today, after watching them for over thirty minutes. He had only one sentence to say. “ Nuel and Nuella, Kings shall bow down to you. ” He laid a peck on both their little foreheads before heading out hoping they wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
He got back in bed with Miranda and almost immediately, the latter reached out and cuddled him subconsciously.
He smiled, pulling her closer and embracing. “ Thank you father for being so good to me. ” He turned off the light and closed his eyes feeling super grateful and content.
