|| VALENTINA's POV ||
3 Months Later..........
It felt like a dream that I always wished to see in my life. Those smiling faces, the love of my life standing there for me, I always had a dream about this life. More than three months have passed since I returned to my own house, Lorenzo's home where I found my heart.
At first, my mother was quite opposing it since she thought that he broke my heart. He didn't deserve ti be with me. However, Lorenzo had to really work hard to get their permission. My elder brother, Kanan threatened Lorenzo with a gun, and took vows from him that he would take care of me for the whole life. After a dramatic stage, our marriages were finally happening.
Lorenzo kept the venue the same as before. He regretted not marrying me that day. So, he arranged everything according to the same style. Even the wedding gown had remained the same. As usual, I had asked him to keep the wedding simple. Apart from my own family members and friends, no outsiders were allowed in the party. Later, we would hold a big reception at our Royal Palace.
The day when my mother asked for a hand for marriage to Lorenzo's father, I saw the power of status. The same old man who hated me for being a stripper suddenly went heeded over heels in happiness to know that his son was getting married into a Royal Family. In fact, he wanted to arrange a big wedding personally but Lorenzo asked him to stay out of our wedding. Because of him, we had faced a lot of troubles in our life.
Lorenzo called off his engagement with Kylie. I heard that a month ago, her parents had come to this country and forced her back home. Even after so many things happened, Kylie was still pestering Lorenzo. Some people were too persistent to follow the idea of wrong love. If she really loved Lorenzo for real, she wouldn't have cheated on him in the first place.
" Are you ready to get married, Bride?", Emily walked into the room in her heavy gown. It felt good to see her getting well everyday. She and Luka had been engaged last month. I couldn't be less happy for my best friend because she suffered a lot because of me. Five years of her life had been spent on bed only.
I gave her a big smile, and got up from the stool carefully. Emily asked, rubbing my stomach excitedly,
" How many months?"
A big smile plastered on my months. Last month, I had a huge change in my body. I always felt tired and missed my period. When I went to the doctor, I was surprised to hear that I was pregnant again. Though it wasn't planned, Lorenzo was jumping all over the house in happiness. My mother was so emotional that she started crying over the news.
I chuckled, holding her hands as support to go downstairs,
" It's just one month.."
When we went to the backyard, all the smiling faces made me emotional. From having no one to having such a big family, I surely had great luck. When I looked up at Lorenzo on the stage,my breathing hitched slightly. I couldn't believe that I was actually getting married to the man that I loved in my whole life.
My elder brother, Kanan came to my side with my baby, Elijah. Elijah wore the same suit as Lorenzo. He was looking like the mini version of Lorenzo. I smiled and held my brother and son on both sides. Nothing could be more beautiful than walking with your family on the aisle.
Lorenzo kept staring at my way dreamily. He looked so hot in his black suit. After I came to his life, he avoided dark colors mostly. After a long time, I was actually watching him in black suit. His eyes moistened slightly but he blinked away quickly. Raising his hand, he helped me get on the stage carefully.
On the crowd, I could see my entire family there. Even Nana was present as well. She accepted me after knowing that I was pregnant for the second time. The issue of surrogacy was still a secret between us only.
Lorenzo took my hands lovingly, kissed the back of it to ask emotionally,
" Miss Valentina Underwood. Are you ready to be my baby's mother again??"

8 months later........
" Push!! Just one more!!"
" Aahh!! I can't!! Call Lorenzo.. inside..Aah..", I cried harder to push out our baby. I had been pressing for the past one hour but it wasn't working. Even my first pregnancy wasn't this hard. This baby was giving me too much pain and suffering. It was so bad that I couldn't eat anything for the last two months. I always threw up whenever I ate something out of willingness.
The nurse laughed at my words. She said jokingly,
" Well, your husband looks like it is him who is giving birth. I don't know whether he will come inside or not."
During Elijah's birthday, I couldn't see his reaction. So, I had no idea how he reacted usually. When the nurse brought him inside, I could say why she was laughing at Lorenzo. Lorenzo was fully bathed in sweat. He was still shaking lightly. There were dark circles underneath his eyes in tension. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe, it was a bad idea to call him inside.
Still, I approached him slowly,
" Honey! I need you! Please stay by my side."
He nodded his head with difficulties and came to hold my hand. When I pushed hard, I could feel him shaking against my hold. Soon, a loud cry echoed through the room. The doctor said excitedly,
" It's a girl. Congratulations.."
I smiled with tears in my eyes but soon felt another round of pain. The doctor looked down and shouted quickly,
" I can see another head. Come on guys!"
Lorenzo and I both were shocked to hear that. We wanted to keep it a surprise. Hence we never asked about the baby's gender. But having twins was definitely out of my imagination. I cried out in my happiness.
The nurse brought two tiny ones to us. When we looked down at the babies, both of us cried first then started laughing like an idiot.
____________
" Twins??? Girl, you surely were born with luck!", Emily gasped in shock when she saw my twins for the first time after they were born. Luka had taken duties overseas and they shifted there recently. So, I had given my best friend a video call to show her the babies.
Emily had become chubbier than before. I could tell that Luka was really taking care of her well. Emily was five months pregnant as well. After a lot of struggles, she finally had this baby. The doctors said that she had only a 20% chance to get pregnant normally. The coma stage had made her organs suffer a lot.
We both named the baby together. It was Kiara and Clara. Both of my girls weren't so easy going. They were always crying or seeking attention unlike Elijah who was the most calm person in the whole household except his rage.
Emily stood up in the video to show me her stomach. It was growing big as she said with a sigh,
" I look like a pig, don't I?"
I laughed out loud at her words. Well, I couldn't blame her entirely. When I had these twins, my belly was too big. Sometimes it was even harder to move around freely. I had to spend an entire night just by sleeping on one side.
Pregnancy wasn't an easy stage. But I was always grateful that Lorenzo was by my side. Without his companion, I didn't know what I could have done in the first place. After so many struggles, in the end we two besties learnt that forgiveness is the key to any happy relationship. There was no sin in this world which couldn't be forgiven. Hence, we decided to forgive our men and gave them a second chance in our life. Now that we both were happy in our places, nothing from the past mattered to us anymore.
