“I have to call shmoopie poo to tell him the good news,” said Chastity and pulled out her phone.

I threw up a little in my mouth. I really hated the name she used for her fiancé. It made me very uncomfortable. Especially when she’d say shmoopie poo and they’d start making out in front of me.

But she was interrupted when Nigel burst into our delivery room.

“Abuelo’s here! Abuelo’s here!” yelled Nigel. “Ah! Two grandchildren!” He pulled the babies into his arms. “I’m a lucky abuelo! Two little redheaded demons they are. And all mine.” He made a silly face down at them.

“Is that what he’s going by?” I asked Tanner. “Abuelo?”

Tanner shrugged. “He did say he wanted grandchildren of his own.”

Chastity lifted the little girl out of Nigel’s arms.

“I’m so excited to be an auntie,” said Rosalie and peered down at the little girl.

“I’m just excited you had a girl so we can pass on the Single Girl Rules to her,” said Chastity as she rocked her back and forth.

“NO,” me and Tanner both said at the same time.

We looked at each other and laughed.

Rosalie pulled out her phone. “I’m going to go tell Anthony the news. I’ll be back.” She blew me a kiss and walked out of the room.

I was glad she didn’t invite Dr. Lyons to the delivery room. I was still getting used to him being around. In a weird twist of fate, I’d rather see Matthew Caldwell than Dr. Lyons.Who knew.

Tanner put his arm around my back.

“What do you think our babies will be like?” I asked. “Will the girl be like me? And have incidents?”

“I hope so,” said Tanner with a smile. “I’d love another little you.”

I couldn’t stop smiling. “And I hope our son is just like you. Going around saying ridiculous things.”

“Ridiculous things?” Tanner pretended to be shocked.

“Are you stalking me, baby?” I said in a deep voice, mimicking how he usually did it.

“You love when I say that.”

I smiled. “I really do.”

We were both quiet as we stared at our friends adoring our twins.

“Wait,” I said. “What are we going to do about names?”

“Well, we had a girl’s name picked out already,” said Tanner. “And a boy’s name. I guess we’re using both.”

“You still like them?”

Tanner smiled. “I think they work even better now that we know they both have red hair.”

“Exactly what I was thinking.”

Nigel handed our son back to Tanner.

And Chastity handed our daughter back to me.

I stared down at the bundle of pink. “Skadi.” I turned to the bundle of blue. “Thorin.” I looked up at Tanner. “Yeah, that’s definitely them.”
