Castor Evans pulled at his auburn hair as he paced back and forward in the small hospital room. His twenty-six-year-old face full of weary as his emerald almond shaped eyes flicked from the snowing January night window to his wife's face that was pinched in pain as she clutched her large stomach that was swollen with their second child. "C-Castor!" his wife gasped out as she felt another sharp pinch of pain hit her. "You're going to tear a hole into the floor if you keep at your passing. I'm sure the doctor will be here shortly." she soothed out calmly as she gave him a small tear-filled smile.
Castor felt his chest flush warm as he gazed at his beautiful wife. Her long blonde hair with brown highlights was pulled into a sweaty side sweep of a ponytail while her gray-blue eyes glanced lovingly into his. Castor still felt the shock and happiness that this wonderful woman chose him to marry and to bear his children. "I'm worried that our darling baby is in danger, dear. You woke up bleeding and in severe pain that is far from normal Lavender," he whispered out with a hint of fear and concern in his voice.
Before Lavender could respond to Castor the wooden door opened with a sharp knock and a nervous looking man entered the room with gloves on followed by a nurse holding several large folders. "Hello, folks I have some great news and some more great news that may unsettle you."
"Dr. Fairchild is our baby okay?" Lavender bit out as she gasped through another jolt of pain so severe it felt as if someone was pulling her back apart slowly piece by piece.
"Both babies are just fine Lavender but you are currently in labor so we need to quickly get ready for the new ones to greet us in the living world." he cheerfully sang as the nurse sat down the folders unto the table that was attached to the metal sink. "This is my assistant nurse, my niece Lois and she will be helping me deliver your children today."
Castor felt himself stumble in shock at the news that he had just received, "B-babies?" he stuttered out in confusion as his mind tried to wrap around the facts he was just been given. "What babies!?"
The nurse spoke this time as she pushed up her large glasses on her nose so they wouldn't fall off, "Sometimes we miss when the other twin hides behind their sibling. It is rather rare but not unheard of." she ended as her face heated up with a blush.
"HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT THE BLOODY FACT I'M IN LABOR AND MY INSIDES ARE SLOWING BEING CRUSHED INTO A THOUSAND PIECES AS I GET STABBED BY A HOT IRON KNIFE IN THE BACK!" roared Lavender as she quickly leaned forward in a hunch as she gripped her belly.
Dr. Fairchild quickly went and lifted up her gown and pushed her legs apart and gently pushed his fingers deep within her and then nod his head with a firm concentrated look on his face. "I can feel the head of the first baby getting ready to come out. I need you to go stand with your wife Mr. Evans and when I say push I want you to do it with all your might, Mrs. Evans." the doctor ordered smoothly as the nurse Lois finished checking over the vitals of Lavender before going down to the end of the bed and held one of Lavender's sweaty legs opened. "It is completely normal if you lose control of your body's fluids."
"Castor I'm not ready." Lavender panicked out as she clutched tightly unto Castor's hand causing him to give a slight wince to the grip.
Castor leaned down and gave a light peck on his wife's sweat covered forehead. "You can do this sweetheart, you are strong and ready."
"I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR TWINS!" she cried as she leaned forward and gave a mighty push.
"Good Mrs. Evans." Lois chimed out happily. "We see a bit of the head now, you're further dilated then we both thought."
"CASSSSSSSSSSSTOR!" Lavender screamed as tears began to seep down her face. "YOU ARE NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!" Lavender hunched and pushed hard feeling a sense of great relief as her second child entered the word with a small startled cry.
"IT'S A GIRL!" Dr. Fairchild cheered happily as he quickly cut the cord and handed the newborn off to the nurse to be cleaned, and wrapped up before he peered back down to begin to bring the third Evans child into the world.
"You are doing so well love, so well. One more to go and then you can hold our new angels. We have another daughter who I'm sure will be as wonderful as our Petunia is." Castor spoke softly as he ran his fingers through his wife's hair ignoring all the threats she was given him.
"YOU ARE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH!" she wailed as with a final cry of pain her third and final child entered the world with a mighty battle cry.
"ANOTHER DAUGHTER!" Dr. Fairchild hummed out as he cut the cord and handed her off to Lois before setting the work to stop the bleeding and sew up the small tear the twins had caused.
Well into the early morning as everything was calm and both newborn sisters were away sucking on their mother's breasts did Castor ask for their names. Lavender smiled down at the baby on her left breast who had soft tuffs of deep auburn hair with light copper highlights and soft blue eyes which were currently shut-in content. "The youngest will be called Lily Jasmine Evans" she spoke softly. "She has your hair." she hummed out as she brushed a stray hair away from her soft forehead. She then tilted her head to watch the baby on her right breast slowly stop and then restart to eat as if she was fighting it. "The eldest twin will be called Lilac Rose Evans." she mused out as she brushed a wild curl of ruby colored hair with blonde highlights from her face. "I think they both will have your lovely green eyes."
Castor gave an amused chuckle, "I see what you did there." he spoke as he poked his wife gently on her nose. "Named them both after your family's tradition of flowers."
"Well of course," she smirked out before giving a small yawn.
The Evans father gave his wife a gentle smile as he swiftly picked up his daughters and kissed his wife on her forehead. "Get some rest love, you've worked hard and earned it."
