A wonderful surprise
Greg walked out of the room, following the doctor. He glanced around, looking at the surroundings.
Nurses walked past, pride showing in their faces as they brought the newborn babies to their new parents. Babies cries filled Greg's ears. Soon he was to hear his own.
"Are you ready to see your little girls?" The doctor asked as he stopped in front of a window.
"Girls?"
"Yes Mr. Sanders. You have 2 beautiful baby girls."
Greg's mouth stretched into a smile as he turned to the window.
"They're the 2 in the front." The doctor said with a smirk on his aging face.
Greg glanced around the little room, shuddering slightly in excitement. 2 hospital carriers caught his attention. The babies held in it, were covered with pale pink blankets.
"Thank you." Greg said, a lump growing in his throat, and tears filling his eyes.
The doctor pressed one hand slightly on the window, and said "Congratulations, Mr. Sanders." He lifted his hand, and walked with great strides down the hallway.
"Im a dad." Greg said as a tear streamed like a river down his cheek.
Dreams of the future filled his head. First steps, first words, first days of school. First dates, first boy/girl dances, first heartbreaks.
Greg turned from the window and wiped a tear from his eye. Before he turned to walk back to Catherine, he whispered to his baby girls.
"I love you girls. Both me and your mom. We love you so much."
