i'm empty

               Ezriel hums sleepily, looking over at Andy when he spoke. “Alright, come and get me if you need help.” He murmurs.

               Ezriel looked over at him when he spoke and he nods, moving to sit up a little bit so he could take the twins carefully from him, he smiles at him. “As long as they’re okay, I don’t see an issue with that.”

              Ezriel slept for a few hours, using that time to recover a little bit from the delivery. He was woken up by the twins fussing, though he wasn’t entirely awake, he looked over at Andy and then down at the twins, “they hungry?” He asks sleepily.

                 Ezriel smiles a little at the kiss and he nods, “okay.” He murmurs in agreement, shifting himself a little bit so he was comfortable, he did find himself watching the two babies Andy was holding for a few moments longer before he snuggled down into the pillow to sleep.

                Ezriel looked at him when he spoke and he nodded his head, “they should have a crib to put them in if your arms get sore, but yes, you can take him..please.” He says to him, smiling at him. “It’s probably a good idea that I sleep.”

               He looked over at their daughter and he smiles a little bit, “yeah, at least he isn’t fussing.” He says, he moves and gently presses a kiss to their son’s head. Ezriel yawns a little bit and he sighs a little bit, rubbing his face gently.

                Ezriel smiles at him, though he was focused on both babies more than anything, he was still listening to Andy. “I’ve said it before, if this is a dream, I don’t wanna wake up.” He murmurs, he looked down at the baby in his arms again and he smiles, little blue eyes staring back up at him, just trying to make sense of the world.

                   Ezriel watches him as he lifts their daughter into his arms and he nods his head a bit, smiling at him. “I know...but I love that they’re ours.” He says to him, moving and adjusting the way he was holding their son, the little infant opening his eyes for a few moments, “hello little one..” Ezriel says gently, hand gently brushing against his cheek.

                   Ezriel was happily watching them in their first moments in the world, they were so small and precious. He looked over at Andy when he spoke and he nods, smiling when he asked if he could hold their daughter, “yes, you can hold her.” He says, shifting a little bit so he could allow Andy to take her from him, “just make sure she stays warm...” He says to him.

                  Ezriel smiles at him again, the little girl’s hand closing on Andy’s finger as he touched it, causing Ezriel to chuckle softly. “Mhm, I love them too.” He says to him, he looked over at Andy again and he smiles. “She’s holding your hand.” He tells him, smiling softly. “I still can’t believe that they’re here...” He murmurs.

                      Ezriel was sure he’d hurt Andy’s hand at one point, but wasn’t really focused on that, more on the little babies in his arm, letting the world know they were there and breathing. He looked over at Andy when he spoke and he nods, “they’re tiny.” He says to him, moving a little bit and watching the nurses who were still in the room before he looked back down at them, gently soothing them to the best of his abilities.

                 Ezriel kept a hold of Andy’s hand, only really letting go of his hand when he had to reposition himself for more comfort during the several hours  of labour he was being put through. When the time came to deliver both babies, it happened quickly with only a few minutes between each twin, once determined that things were okay with both babies, they were given to Ezriel, who immediately put his arms around them protectively, despite being exhausted.

                   He let him take his hand and he held onto his hand in return, not too hard, but his hand would tighten a little bit every so often. He gives him a little bit of a smile. “I know, I don’t wanna hurt you though.” He says to him, he shifted a little bit on the bed and tried to keep himself comfortable. They didn’t have to wait long for a doctor to come in and check Ezriel over and making sure he wasn’t too uncomfortable with some pain relief, making sure the babies were doing okay as well.
