Chapter 197
“It’s a boy and a girl!” The nurse announced excitedly as they placed the babies on Kiara’s bare chest because skin to skin contact calmed them down.
Kiara couldn’t stop crying as she stared down at them.
“Zane, they are so perfect. I love them so much” She murmured and he chuckled through his tears before placing a kiss on her forehead. He turned to stare at the twins and his heart swelled with love and happiness.
“Why don’t we give you guys space?” Anastasia murmured with a smile before turning towards the rest and signaling for them to meet her outside. Heather didn’t want to leave but they all knew Zane and Kiara needed some time together after what just happened.
After the nurses and doctor were done cleaning up, they congratulated both of them before leaving the room.
“I’m upset, why do they both look like you?” Kiara murmured after a while of just staring at them and Zane laughed softly.
“I disagree. He looks just like you with the hair color and everything. Can I hold one?” He murmured and she nodded.
“Of course” Zane immediately took off his shirt then gently grabbed onto the girl and placed her softly on his chest.
“Don’t cry, it’s daddy” He murmured as he caressed her small head gently. The baby immediately calmed down and snuggled into his chest.
“She’s never getting married and she’s never leaving us” He suddenly muttered which made Kiara laugh. She couldn’t even remember the time she laughed that hard.
“Zane, she’s still a child and she is going to get married” He frowned.
“But she’s so innocent. I don’t want her to be tainted by icky boys. I won’t allow her to date” She rolled her eyes.
“You are being dramatic. Besides, she’d always have her twin brother to protect her from Icky boys. Right, Asher?” She murmured then turned to Zane with wide eyes and he mirrored her expression.
“Asher?” He questioned softly.
“He’s a fortune and blessing to us so yes, Asher… Asher Black”
“Asher Daniel Black. That has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?” She nodded as she caressed the little baby’s head.
“And his wolf’s name can be Levi. What about her?” Kiara questioned as she turned to the sleeping baby in Zane’s arms.
“Astrid, let’s call her that” Kiara smiled then nodded.
“Astrid Heather Black doesn’t sound bad” He grinned.
“And then we can name her wolf Anastasia… or Anna for short” They both laughed wholeheartedly before staring down at their beautiful children again.
It still felt like a dream. Some hours earlier, if someone had told Kiara she would be holding her child in her arms this way, she would have laughed in their face.
She had lost hope totally before and that made her sad. If Anastasia hadn’t shown up….
“My love, don’t cry” Zane murmured as he wiped away her tears with his free hand.
“I’m just so grateful, Zane and I’m just so happy. Words can’t express how happy I am now but tears can” She murmured and he smiled before sitting down on the bed gently.
“But little baby Asher doesn’t like seeing his mother cry. Can’t you see he’s getting fuzzy?” She glanced down at Asher and he was in fact, Fuzzy.
“Mommy is sorry. She’s just so happy, my love” She murmured then placed her hand over her eyes to stop herself from crying again. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“I’m a mother now, Zane. I never thought I would give birth again” He caressed her hair.
“Me too my love but here we are, Parents to two lovely children. I love you so much and thank you for making me a father” He murmured then leaned down to place a kiss on her cheek when Astrid suddenly began crying but as soon as he pulled away, she stopped.
“Well, it seems she doesn’t want me kissing you” Zane murmured jokingly as Astrid held onto his finger tightly and at that moment, he knew he was utterly wrapped around their fingers.
He turned to Kiara and was about to say something when he noticed she was asleep. She must have been so tired.
He smiled slightly then walked over to place Astrid in her crib then came back to get Asher and tried his best to get him out of Kiara’s grip without waking her up.
After some seconds, he succeeded and carried Asher to his crib then placed a kiss on both their foreheads before walking back to the bed and climbing in with Kiara.
“Are they asleep?” Kiara suddenly murmured.
“Yes, they are my love”
“I’m happy, Zane. I’m so happy” She murmured again then turned to him and walked her arms around him. He smiled then placed a kiss on her forehead.
“Me too”

Heather walked back towards them with Nikolas in her arms. She has missed him dearly and couldn’t wait for him to meet the twins.
“Did he cry a lot?” Daniel questioned as he walked over to her and stared down at the baby.
“The nurses at the nursery said he was a gentleman and that he only cried when he was hungry. What a good boy” Heather murmured then placed a kiss on his cheeks.
“Anastasia, it seems you and I are the only ones without a child here? Wanna make one with me?” Anastasia froze and she knew her face was bright red. What did he just say?
“Erm…”
“I’m just joking” She laughed awkwardly.
“What a funny joke. I have to get back to Margaret and tell her about the good news. She must be so proud of me” Anastasia murmured with a smile but before she could get up from the chair, A voice sounded behind her.
“That won’t be necessary because Margaret is dead” Anastasia’s eyes widened at the Queen of witches words.
“No, no that can’t be true. We just left her and…”
“She gave up her life to save yours, Anastasia. Don’t beat yourself up for it, she did it to atone for her mistake in the past” Anastasia furrowed her eyebrows.
“Mistake?”
“She had a chance to save her daughter but instead, she watched her die out of fear and I guess that’s why she spoke so highly of you because you were the complete opposite of her. You made her know what it meant to take sacrifice for the ones you love and she is grateful for that and she wants you to know that she’s in a better place now” Anastasia bit her lower lip as tears ran Down her cheek.
“How… How do you know all this?”
“Because she is my sister, Anastasia”…
