Diana - Chapter 296
Alex arrived at midnight, along with his entire family, while Tony and Chris came together.
Meanwhile inside the room, where the babies were laid on their bed, sleeping peacefully, Diana and Ethan were staring at them, as if they can’t believe their eyes.
With his hands around her, Ethan paused his lips together, “I’m their dad.” he said in disbelief, while Diana couldn’t reply, because she’s wondering the same.
“They are going to call me mom when they are talking?” Diana asked.
“I think so. That means they will call me dad haha. Oh my God! this is real.”
“I can’t believe this.”
“Me too.”
“You’re right about the gender.” Diana said.
“I told you I know what I put there. Now I have three angels in my life.” Ethan said and pressed his lips to her hair, while using his left hand to smoothened it.
Diana giggled, as the sensation of feeding the twins still lingered on her nipples. It’s like their mouth is still on them. Everything is just overwhelming.
It happened so fast, that it felt like a dream, she didn’t wish to wake up from. If this is a dream, she wants to grow old and die in the dreamland.
“Don’t show off.” Diana said.
Ethan only tightened his arms around her in return, leaning and resting his head on her shoulder.
They wanted to leave, but their legs just refused to move. They feel like they won’t get tired if they do this all night.
What amazes them is how the babies were still moving their mouths once in a while, as if they are still being fed.
They weren’t identical, but had the same eye colour, which is hazel green. Melanie has boasted about sharing the same eye colour with the babies, while everyone tried to pick out one thing or the other, and claimed the babies took it after them.
Stella just kept laughing, while crying at the same time. Each time she tried to speak, her voice just couldn’t help breaking.
Hearing a knock on the door, their head snapped towards the direction. They are supposed to be sleeping now, but they just can’t. They thought it’s the grannies that had been roaming about the premises.
If only they could share the same room, but fortunately for the couple, everyone had no choice than to leave the kids to their parents.
“Oh my god Ethan! I heard the news.” Chris dashed in, while Tony also hastened his steps.
“Dad!” Diana exclaimed happily as she saw Alex, and went to hug him. “you’ve done well baby.” Alex patted her head, while Diana’s mouth went agape as she saw the rest of her family, from her father’s side, coming in one by one.
Chris engulfed Ethan in a tight hug, “congratulations bro.” he said excitedly, before releasing and allowing Tony to hug him, while turning to look at the sleeping cuties.
“Damn! I’m feeling hungry just by looking at them. They look so delicious.” Chris said, while he winced as someone just hit his back.
“Grandpa!” he exclaimed, as he met with the old man’s glare.
They finally have another excuse to invade Diana and Ethan’s room, and heard what Chris said. “don’t use such words on them.” he cautioned, while everyone laughed.
“Don’t blame me. They are just so delicious… I mean cute.” Chris said, and returned to staring at them, ignoring the old man that’s about to nag again.
After greeting everyone, they all surrounded the baby’s bed. They end up waking one of them, while her cry wakes the other one, who joined in the crying battle.
“I will pet them to sleep, you guys go have your talks.” Chris offered, but was pushed aside before he could reach out and carry one of them.
He sighed and looked at Ethan, who shrugged his shoulders, as if saying ‘welcome to my world.’
It’s not only three grannies now, Alex’s parents have joined, making five. They took control, not leaving any chance for the other to move closer.
Within a few minutes, the babies slept again, giving the grannies the privilege to boast and even decided to extend their stay, because the kids seemed to like them.
Diana only chuckled, while Ethan massaged his temple.
It was a night to remember, as everywhere was filled with laughter.
Diana’s cousins whined about how Diana took their number and didn’t call as promised, while she explained to them that she lost it.
The babies were named, Clara and Ciara. Different gifts kept coming and coming, which made Ethan wonder why they are even on his island.
He has already purchased the house they will be moving into, which means all the gifts will be transferred back again.
He felt the happiest. Diana makes him feel what he hasn’t felt before in his life. She even gave him the most beautiful gift in the world. Words alone can’t explain how much he’s grateful to her.
He was still smiling, until he saw two bicycles being brought towards the house by the people transferring the gifts. He facepalm mentally.
How can babies receive bicycles? He didn’t even know who’s responsible and just took his mind off it. If he asked and it happened to be one of the grannies, they will start giving him lectures again.
They didn’t even purchase the one a 1 or 2 years old baby could drive. They are big enough for him to play with, if he wishes to.
‘They will rot in the storage room.’ he thought and couldn’t help but chuckled.
He said his thanks to the guys that delivered the gifts and they went back into the jet and left.
Ethan went inside the living room.
Chris was finally allowed to carry Ciara, who was a bit chubby, with a round face, while Alex’s mother was holding Clara, who had a petite face and a bit skinny.
Chris was blushing hard, as he made funny expressions to Ciara, who awarded him with her toothy laughs.
Diana was sitting in between her parents, resting her head on Stella’s shoulder, while holding hands with Alex.
Stella was stroking her hair, while they were all staring at the love and affections being showered on the twins.
Diana’s cousins were checking their wrist watch and waiting to snatch Ciara from Chris. They were taking turns playing with her, while the grannies were content with one person holding Clara, while the other just played with her in her arms.
Diana’s aunts and Melanie were helping sorting the babies clothes in their room and other settings that are required. They refused to let an outsider do all that and volunteer.
Ethan wanted to have Diana to himself as usual, but seeing the beautiful and touching scenarios in front of him, he only watched for a while before joining the boys in their shares.
They include him in the setting after grumbling about how the turns will take longer if they are four.
Diana chuckled at how Ethan is still carrying the baby, as if his strength could crush her if he’s not careful.
“It’s all for you baby.” Stella whispered and kissed her hair, while Alex did the same, “it’s all for you.” he muttered as well, while Diana nodded her head repeatedly.
