Epilogue
I shut my eyes tightly as another shot of pain it me. It was much worse than the first because it felt like I was dying. I placed my hand on my stomach. and tried to hold in the pain but couldn’t when a harder one hit me.
“Are we there yet???” I asked Adrian as I looked out the window with discomfort and impatience.
“No.. but yet. We are almost there please try to hold it in.” He pleaded as he sped up the car.
“Hold it in??? Did you just say hold it in??? I feel like they would pop put any moment but all you can say is try to hold it in???” I asked in a very loud and angry tone.
“That isn’t what I meant baby… it’s just that…”
“Quiet!!! You did this to me and now you’re telling me this trash.” I said angrily.
“I shouldn’t have let you do this to me. All these that’s happening is all your fault. Never again… I’m never letting you do this to me again. This is going to be the last time I’ll endure such from you!!!” I screamed at him.
I know you guys are wondering how it got to this moment because the Ariel everyone knows would never ever scream at her beloved husband this way. You can’t really blame me, it’s just the pain talking. The pain of having to birth twins.
Yes, you heard me well. I just said twins. About four months into my pregnancy, Adrian convinced me to go to the hospital to check our baby’s gender. There, we were able to find out that we were expecting twins.
Our joy knew no bounds that what even made us more happy was the fact that they were a boy and a girl. After the string of sad and hurtful events that had happened to us months ago, I didn’t really think that we would turn out to be this happy.
After driving for a few more minutes, Adrian pulled over at the hospital’s driveway. He came down form the car and walked walked my side. He opened the door and helped me out.
He wrapped one hand around my waist and led me in slowly because I couldn’t even lift my legs well. When we entered the hospital’s lobby, I was attended to by nurses immediately.
They placed me on a bed and wheeled me to the labour room. For the next few hours, only my loud and agonizing screams could be heard. Then. It was followed by a baby’s cry and then, another.
I breathed out in relief after I had pushed the second one out…. finally. They placed both of my babies on my arms. I smiled as I admired them with pyre love. They looked so tiny in my arms. I can’t believe that I was finally a mother.
They collected the babies from me to get them cleaned, same with me. I was later transferred into another room where my already clothed babies were. Adrian was with me and couldn’t stop admiring them.
I stared at him with tears of joy in my eyes, attempting to gush out. Who knew we would actually be able to witness such day?? A day that we can finally hold our babies in our hands??
That fateful day at the courtroom when William had his gun pointed at Adrian, I could literally feel my heart pounding against my chest. That man cared obviously for no one and I know he wouldn’t blink twice before killing even his own son.
Right at the moment he was about to pull the trigger, the officers in the courtroom opened fire and gunned him down with just a few bullets. When he was laying down dead on the floor, only one scream could be heard.
The scream of his lover a. k. a his sister. She struggled out of the officers hold and went to hug him with tears in her eyes. She cried really loud as she kept blaming us for his death.
She didn’t want to leave his body but was carried out through the help of the police officers. At that moment, she had lost it all. Her son, her lover and her sanity due to the emotional pain she passed through.
As of today, she’s still in a psychiatric hospital instead of being jailed. At first, I felt bad for her but couldn’t after I watched that video for her brutally murdering Grandpa Henry.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
She could do such a thing and still act all innocent about it. And to think she wanted to make me the culprit. After she was locked up, our lives became more peaceful because all of our enemies were either dead or jailed.
Sandy and Hillary’s love blossomed the more over the past few months and I couldn’t be more happy for them. Bianca and I were finally in more peaceful terms with each other.
The series of conversations we had were enough to make me realize that she was actually a very good person. We’ve become much closer and share a lot of things with each other.
Lucas’s death really pained her as she felt she pushed him into what he became. She was down for a very long time. It took a lot form her father and boyfriend to make her come back around.
I’m so glad she was able to move past that phase of her life. She’s much better the way she is right now. Also, Alex was able to recover fast and he and Susan decided to take their love for each other to the next level.
They got married two months ago and are living happily as a married couple. Emily was finally able to come around and she apologized to me for the way she had been treating me.
According to her, she had been brainwashed by someone she thought she could trust. Since she apologized, I had no choice but to forgive her. I mean, no good would come out of keeping malice with her.
Peace and happiness really has been the definition of our lives these past few months and I just hope it would continue that way. I raised my head and stared at Adrian.
His eyes were solely focused on our children. I could see the pure love and affection in his eyes and it made me really happy. If I was asked how my life would be a year ago, getting married and having kids wouldn’t even be in the list.
Though all these weren’t planned, I’m still glad it happened this way and I would never trade my life right now for anything else. I’m really happy to be able to live this moment and I hope that it would continue this way for a very long time.
