Daniel...

I was the most happiest man in the world. The women I loved to death was carrying my baby. My Riya looked beautiful with her big belly, rubbing it lightly and talking to our child about something funny. Life was moving just perfect without much troubles. I went with Riya for her checkups and the doctor said that our baby was just doing fine and healthy.

I showered and walked out of the room and the saw Riya happily doing something in the kitchen. I walked behind her and circled my arms around her belly and kissed her hair.

"You seem happy." I said resting my chin on her shoulder.

"As always." She said in reply with a light smile. "Like some coffee?"

"Yeah sure." I said sitting on the love seat. "By the way I've been in the process of thinking some names for the newcomer." I said looking at her. "Umm... how about Andrea or Adeline?" I said wincing at her.

"Why not Ryan or Damien?" She said wincing back.

"Oh yeah. Maybe." I said, as she handed me the coffee and sat next to me with hers.

"So now we choose one for sure." She said deep in thought.

"I like Damien for a boy." I said smiling at her.

"I like Adeline for a girl." She said smiling shyly.

"And now its final... call this baby Damien or Adeline Rickson." I said leaning in to kiss her forehead.

Few weeks passed by with loads of work and I felt like I was home after a very long time though I was here everyday. Riya understood my pressure at work and wouldn't fuss about anything. She was nearing labor and I could see the fear in her eyes. I was trying my best to take it away talking about everything and suddenly her face turned hard.

"Dan." She said wincing in pain.

"Hey easy. Easy. Don't worry. Am right here." I said assuring her that everything will be fine. I carried her to the car and drove to the hospital as fast as I could.

My Riya was in so much pain and I knew she was in labor. I was at her side soothing her, holding hands assuring everything will be fine and I was there for her every second. The doctor said that her contractions were worse and a kind of fear for the two precious people in my life clutched my heart. After a long time Riya was in labor room.

"I love you. We can do this." I said kissing her forehead and she nodded crying out in pain again.

"Just breathe easy Mrs. Rickson." The doctor said but I could see she had a had a hard time doing that. Again she cried out in pain as tears were flowing down her cheeks.

"Can't you just give her a pain relief?" I snapped at the doctor when I couldn't take in any more of her pain.

"Am afraid we can't Mr. Rickson." The doctor said again looking calm.
"I'll be fine Dan." She said smiling at me lightly.

"Start pushing now," the doctor said and she held my hands tight that it pained a lot but I didn't care about that. With a big push our baby was out crying aloud breathing its first breadth. And I saw Riya getting unconscious after all the struggle smiling lightly.

"It's a boy," the doctor said smiling at me. "Congratulations!!"
"Thank you." I said looking at my baby boy.

"Now cut this slowly," the doctor said and I cut the umbilical cord connecting both my wife and son. I touched my son lightly who was fully covered in blood still crying.
"We need to clean him up and do some examinations on his health. Your wife will be fine too. Don't worry," the doctor said handing our baby to the nurse.

I turned to look at Riya and she was still unconscious. I kissed her forehead and left the room to inform everybody. I called both the families and everybody were so happy and thrilled that they said they would start immediately.

"Here is your son Mr. Rickson," a nurse said handing me the baby telling our baby was a healthy boy and went off. I looked at him as I cradled him gently. He was fast asleep and I took his plump fist and kissed it softly. Riya was shifted to a separate room and I walked in after asking the nurse if she was awake and the nurse nodded yes. I happily entered the room with our son and as soon as Riya saw me holding the baby her smile was huge and she stretched her hand out to hold him.

"No not yet. guess the baby." I teased her.

"C'mon Dan. I know it's baby Dan, Damien." She said smiling shyly making her look still more beautiful. I handed her, our baby and she was teary eyed looking at him. "He's so cute." She said kissing his forehead softly. She studied him for sometime caressing him. "He looks like you Dani." She said looking at me.

"Yeah I thought so." I said sitting near her looking at our son as he was fast asleep on his mother's arms.

"Wish he grows up just like you." She said looking at me and I smiled back chuckling. "Thank you Dan." She said again.

"Thank you too. Love you sweetheart." I said kissing her lips and our baby started crying suddenly. "Some guy is getting jealous here." I said and we both laughed together.

Both our families were at the hospital few hours later and they all were carrying him and dancing around. Riya was discharged two days later and we christened him 'Damien Daniel Rickson' making my bro Kevin and his wife Kate god parents. I informed Martha in Singapore of my son's birth and she congratulated both of us and said she would pray for all our well-being.

Four years later....

"Damien don't do that." Riya told him with a slight anger in her voice.
"I didn't do anything." He said showing his puppy dog face. "I just wanna hold hands."

"Let him sweetheart." I said to Riya and signaled Damien to go do whatever he wanted.

"Am scared he might do something." Riya said looking sad.
"Look." I showed Riya where Damien was leaning in and holding both his twin sisters hands in his so carefully as if they might break if her let go of it.
"Awww!! He's growing just like you." She said lost in the beautiful moment.
"And I want Adeline and Ashlyn to grow just like their mother with all those beautiful looks and good heart." I said hugging Riya from behind.
"Oh yeah!" She said raising her eyebrows.

"Mom, dad can I lie between them? There is a lot of space." Damien said running to us.

"Sure buddy. Be careful not to wake them up," I said ruffling his hair.

"Yeah I know or mommy will make me put them to sleep," He said with a scared face and we both chuckled at his acts. "Good night dad, good night mom. Love you." He said running into the room and Riya and I wished him good night at the same time, and I pulled her to me as soon as he was out of sight. I carried her to the couch and kissed her hard on the lips.

"Dani." She shouted only for me to hear. "Damien could walk in any minute."
"He won't, too busy looking after his sisters." I said leaning in again and she stopped me with her hand, smiled at me for some reason and took of her hand and kissed me again. It was a good kiss and our love has become much more stronger with each kiss we shared all our lives so far.

"Thank you so much for making me so happy always Dani." She said with light tears shining in the corner of her eyes.

"Anything for my girl." I said smiling down at her. "Love includes everything baby. It's just how we took each thing in a positive way and lead our life." I said kissing her forehead. "Am so proud to call you my wife. I love you Riya."

"I love you too Dani." She said and rested her head on my shoulder. And we sat there cuddling each other for a long time, not worrying about our future coz we both knew whatever happened we both would be there for each other. And stand together to face everything, just to make our love grow more stronger and stronger.
