PAT POV:
“Pat we are back!” I watch as Lana grabs her bag from my hand and runs to her room. I shake my head and watch as our 4-year-old daughter tries to hide her gift for her brother.
“Hey, how are you, Hun?” I say as I kiss Pran’s lips.
“EW! Gross! Lana, Daddy, and Papa are so gross!” I part from my husband to see our 4-year-old son, look around for his sister.
I turn to him and say, “I think she is doing something secret. How about you go to the living room and decide what you want for dinner tonight,
He smiles and says, “What about Lana? Isn’t she supposed to help me?”
I turn to him, and say, “How about I go ask her?” He nods and heads off in the direction of the living room.
I smile and turn to Pran and say, “I will be back to talk to you, but I have to go help Lana keep her gift a secret.” Pran just smiles back and kisses me on the cheek.
I go down the hallway to the door that has a gold and silver glittery nameplate that says ‘Lana's room, STAY OUT!’ I laugh at my silly daughter’s antics. I knock on the door and she answers, “Daddy, what are you doing here? Did you forget your job already? You are supposed to make sure Lap stays away from here.”
I smile at her, she is the spitting image of her papa, a little troublemaker and she will be the death of me with her dimples that are worse than her Papa’s. She has her eyebrow raised smirking, just like him, I shake my head. I finally say, “You look too much like your papa,” she just smirks more in response. Then I say, “Speaking of a troublemaker, your brother told me that you forgot about picking out food for tonight.”
She just excitedly looks up and says, “Okay, Okay, I will be right out there, I just need to hide it. Can daddy or Papa help me with wrapping?”
I smile and say, “Your Papa is better at it.”
She nods her head fast and quickly puts the bag under her bed and runs out of the room to go find her brother.
I shake my head following her out of the hallway to find my husband in our bedroom. I just watch from the doorway, watching as my beautiful husband is sorting through the clothes from the mall. I smile and walk up behind him, wrapping my arms around him from behind. I feel his hand hold my hands and I loosen it a little to turn his around, “Hi Baby.” He doesn’t respond and I just wait and then lean up to kiss his forehead, because it’s the best way to get him out of his thoughts.
As I thought, he came out of it right then, and looks at me, and says, “Sorry I was thinking about when I was pregnant with the twins.”
I nod my head and smile, thinking about the good times, “They are four years old, I get why my Mae always said that Pa and I will always be her babies.” I look at him as I say it and he laughs in response.
“I feel like a constant battle back then about how much I love you and how much I hate you. All related to the two babies growing inside me, but I would do it all again. You were so sweet and loving of me, I even remember how my por was so surprised about how you were to me. You never got angry, sad, or hurt by what I said. No matter what, you always put me first when it came to the hard times, and so it made me want to put you first too. Until the doctor told me that I couldn’t work, you made sure that I was on time and happy at work every day. You were the best husband I could ever hope for when I felt so vulnerable.” He says and then bites his lip and hugs me.
I feel like I am going to burst with love, “I only was the best husband?”
He rolls his eyes and says, “No, you are the best husband and have always been. You are the best decision I have ever made, being friends with you, dating, loving you, fighting battles with you, marrying you, having kids with you. Those decisions all relate to my favorite person, and that is you.”
I squeeze him a little harder and smile at him. Then we get interrupted by a knock on the door, we look up to see Lap, who jumps up and down excitedly. He watches us for a second and says, “Papa did you tell Daddy yet?”
I look confused over to Pran, and he just looks sternly at Lap who just says, “Oh, I am sorry, Lana and I picked out dinner. Can we get Indian?” Pran nods and Lap runs out of the room.
Pran turns to me, and says, “I promise it is nothing bad, and I will tell you tonight.” I nod still confused, but I trust my husband.
We walk out of the room and Pran calls our usual Indian place and so I go to see what Lap and Lana are doing. I watch them whispering and then look up and jump up excitedly, and I shake my head.
Okay, so three people are keeping a secret from me, I am worried. Though I try not to show it, “So how are my birthday twins doing?”
They both smile back at me and say, “We are so excited!” I shake my head, they are just so silly sometimes.
Pran walks back into the room and says, “Hey I will go pick up the food, who wants to go with me?” Both Lap and Lana hold up their hands.
I just pout in response, “If you both go, Daddy will be all alone.”
I watch as both of my children roll their eyes and Lap steps in saying, “Daddy, it will be good for you to have some time for yourself.” I smile and shoo them through the door so, I can get started.
I look around the room and put the decorations I got with Lana earlier today and then look at my phone to see my playlist. I look through and come across Lana’s favorite artist, he is American, but I know the song pretty well. I hope they will like it. I have been planning to sing for them tonight as my first birthday present to them because they always ask me to sing to them.
I have been practicing a couple of songs for months now when no one is here. Pran doesn’t even know about my surprise for them. I love these three more than anything in my life and can’t wait to see what is going to happen tonight.
I wait for them to get home and smile when I hear the key in the lock, indicating they are back. I jump back from the table to see Lana and Lap run up and squeal at the decorations. I smile and see Pran looking at me from the doorway.
PRAN POV:
I love having kids and my husband, but I am worried about Pat’s reaction to this. That is the exact thing I told Pa a couple of days ago and she responded with, he is going to love it. As I watch my two four-year-olds jumps on Pat for setting everything up, I can’t help, but smile. The love of my life and my favorite person is, Pat, which is the reason behind me marrying him and stating to the world, I will love him forever. I can’t believe sometimes how lucky I am and hope that he feels the same.
I have a plan for how I am going to tell him, Lana, Lap, and I, bought a couple of things while we were out and I am nervous about showing Pat. Though as I see my family sit down eating and talk to each other while laughing and joking around, I see my whole life as this. I can’t help smiling at that again, and as I see Pat’s raised eyebrow, I know that I look suspicious. However, it doesn’t matter because tonight will be amazing, I just have to wait till the time is right.
As I see Pat guide us all to the couch with his guitar, a gift I got for him as an engagement gift after we started writing music again. I know that after his gift, I will give him mine, I am excited to see what song he is going to sing.
PAT POV:
“Okay Lap, Lana, I have a song I want to do, and hope you like it.”

Wish You Pain By: Andy Grammar
I hope your doubts come like monsters
And terrorize your dreams
I hope you feel the lonely hopelessness
'Cause no one else believes
I hope you question whether you ever really had a chance at all
I hope your fear is thick like poison
It gets into your blood
I hope you push until you cannot breathe
And it's still not enough
I hope you put your life out on the line and everybody watches while you fall
'Cause I love you more than you could know
And your heart, it grows every time it breaks
I know that it might sound strange
But I wish you pain
Wish you pain
It's hard to say
But I wish you pain
I hope people break their promises
And leave you in the cold
I hope they beat your heart to pieces
Worse than you've ever known
I hope you finally arrive, only to find you're nowhere close
I hope you cry and tears come streaming down your face
I hope this life traps you in more than you thought you could ever take
I hope the help you want never comes and you do it on your own
'Cause I love you more than you could know
And your heart, it grows every time it breaks
I know that it might sound strange
But I wish you pain
Wish you pain
It's hard to say
But I wish you pain
I love you more than you could even know
Been here before and I just wanna see you grow
Want you to grow
'Cause everything that matters most
I swear it goes by a different name
I know that it might sound strange
But I wish you pain
I wish you pain
It's hard to say
Wish you pain
I love you more than you could even know
I've been here before and I just wanna see you grow
Want you to grow
I watch how I see smiles from all of them and I feel so happy that I thought of this idea.
PRAN POV:
Oh my gosh, I can’t believe that I am tearing up right now, knowing that Pat feels this way. Okay, I have to do it now.
“Lap and Lana, can you get the cake from the fridge,” I watch as they jump up and I look over at Pat.
He looks confused again so I say, “The kids and I have a surprise for you.” As I see them walk out with the cake and put it in front of Pat, “So, do you like it?”
I watch as he reads the red and blue cake that in bright green colors it says, “You are going to be a father.” He looks confused until I hand him an envelope and he opens them to see my first, ultrasound pictures he just looks at me and then at the kids.
PAT POV:
“I am going to be a father again,” I watch as Pran nods nervously and I jump into his arms. Then I look at Lap and Lana who are both excited and say, “You two are going to be older siblings.”
“So you are excited about it?” Pran asks and I just squeeze him more in response.
“I am so happy, we are going to be amazing this time. I love you all so much.”
