Chapter 10
"Where are you, Babe?"Andrius called Jemiaiah on the phone, informing the other one about Melissa. "Babe are you still there?"
The silence filling up the phone. Only blows of the wind can be heard and soft moans. Andrius clenched his fist. "Jemiaiah!"He shouted angrily tightened his grip on his phone.
"Oh yes."Andrius hearing Kenneth's voice.
"Drop that phone Jem."Then the call ended.
Andrius can't say anything, he's not mad, he can't feel anything too. He just knows that his priority right now is Melissa.
"I will deal with her later."He thought to himself while heading to the nursery area. Some nurses were chatting outside the door, talking about something.
"Oh my gosh! The twins are so cute.One of the nurses said.
"Yes. I heard Andrius Stanford is the Father that's why. He really looked like, the two! Such a lucky man!"Andrius abruptly scoot on their side.
"Excuse me. Can you tell me where are Melissas children?"The two nurses squealed and bit their lips to control their feelings. Who wouldn't? It's Andrius Ranz Stanford.
"Sir, these are your babies."The nurses pointed towards the two cribs in the middle.
Andrius opens his mouth.
Andrei Stanford.
Andrea Stanford.
His surname.
"Uhh-"He was about to say something, but.
"Thank god! Andrius! You're here! Melissa is asking for you!"Doctor Lisa say, pulling into Melissas room. When they opened the door. They saw Melissa lying with a groggy voice and a sloppy body.
"Ranz."Andrius sat next to her and awkwardly held her hand, caressing it using his thumb. "Where is Andrei?"
Melissa also doesn't know about the twins. Andrius just smiles, forgetting the surname thingy. "Melissa! It's twins!"
Melissa hung her mouth open in shock. "R-Really?"
"Yes! I named them Andrei and Andrea. I'm sorry if I already decided on their name without informing you. It's such a rushed form so-"
"It's okay, Ranz. I love their names. Too bad they were using my surname."Andrius stiffed, stopping himself caressing the latters thumb.
"There is a problem, Mel."Melissa begins to cry. "Oh! Don't cry, they are fine and healthy!"
"Then why?!"Melissa whined.
"The nurses used my surname."Melissa was surprised but deep inside she was celebrating. "I don't know why but they wrote Stanford on it."
"I'm sorry.."
"Why are you sorry?"Andrius kissed her forehead and cheeks.
"Because they used it?"Andrius shook his head.
"It's fine. I'm just worried about you. Because you might-"
"No! Let's visit them please!"Melissa leaned on his side, kissing Andrius' lips.
Andrius got alarmed, he was blushing roughly. Melissa was acting weird. Maybe the side effects of the medicine.
"Relax."Doc Lisa entered the room. "We will bring your babies here."
"Here are they, Andrei and Andrea. "
They exited the room after putting the babies next to Melissa. "Waaa! They are so cute."Melissa carefully kissed their forehead and cries.
"Woah."Andrius was a bit shocked seeing the twins in person. "They look like,He whispers in astonishment, "Me?"
Melissa flinched a bit but brushed off what she heard. "Hello! I'm your Mommy."
"Mel! Look at Andrei, he also has a mole on his nose."Melissa also noticed that but kept it inside her.
"Maybe they look like me because we live together and you see me always."Melissa nodded and held Andrei's fragile hand and kissed it. "Their hands are soft."
"And little."Andrius giggled. "Hi babies, I'm your Mommy."
Melissa raised her eyebrow. "That's-"
"Kidding. Hi! I'm your Daddy."
"Ranz. You don't have to do that."Melissa says. "They'll get hurt when they know the truth."
Andrius got mad, he leaned on the chair after. "They will not get hurt if we keep it a secret!"
"That's a selfish decision."
"So? I am way better than James."Melissa's eyes watered, as she went silent.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."Melissa nods and kissed her children.
Melissa fell asleep, after a few minutes. The nurses guided the babies on their crib so that they can all rest.
Andrius stood up, getting out of the room so that he can dial Jemiaiahs number again. Three rings passed, before someone answers. "What are you doing, Jem?"Andrius asks, angrily.
"Andrius?"
"Answer me!"He shouted he heard a sniffing and sobbing sound. "Are you cheating behind my back?!"
"N-No!"
"Then who was that?"He heard a crying sound and sniffles again. "Stop the drama and tell me."
"It's Kenneth Ty."
"That's it!"He ended the call and sat on the cold vacant chair outside Melissas room. "They both cheated on me. They probably laughing at me right now."He thought to himself.
"But, she's pregnant?"He bit his lips and shook his head to let go of the topic.
"Maybe I need some space. I will just buy babies stuff."
