Testing Fate
Part 38 – Final
*Selena’s POV*
“Selena?” Justin asked going over to me. “Are you okay?” he asked as the doctor left to give us some alone time.
“Yeah, I’m not that upset. I mean we have the twins. We’ve had three kids. I think that more than enough,” I said honestly looking up at him with a faint smile.
“I agree,” he said placing his lips on mine. “Get some sleep. I’m sure you’re super tired. I’ll go puck up the outfits and things we need from the house, then we can visit the twins together when you wake up.”
“Okay, I love you,” I said feeling my eyes droop as my head hit the plush pillow.

“I’m not sure Selena wants you here,” I heard Justin whisper to someone else.
“I don’t care. I’m her mother whether she likes it or not. I am the grandmother, I deserve to see these kids,” my mom said making me groan, and alerting the room that I was now awake.
“Get out,” was all I said as I sat up in the bed crossing my arms over my chest.
“Selena it’s been months since I talked to my daughter. I miss you and I want to make amends,” my mother said taking a step closer.
“I really don’t want to talk to you. I just had two kids, I’m too warn out for more drama,” I said rolling my eyes at her attempt to apologize. “I have been doing perfectly fine without you since what happened I think I can continue you the rest of my life that way.”
She nodded and lowered her head before leaving peacefully.
“So time to see the twins?” I asked quickly changing the subject.

“Not so fast,” Justin said. “Don’t you think you were a little harsh on your mother?”
“No, you were there. You say how they basically said they were happy for us and didn’t support us. I don’t want someone who doesn’t support my happiness in my life. I don’t need that negativity, especially around Ava and Eva.”
“You could have let her down a little easier. You are going to have to make amends sooner or later for Gracie’s sake. You still want to see your sister right?” He asked as we walked up to the neonatal part of the hospital.
“There are ways I can see Gracie without having to mess with my parents,” I said as we both washed our hands before being able to see Ava and Eva.
“They’re so tiny,” I said running my thumb along Ava’s cheek which Justin held Eva.
“They look so much alike too,” Justin noted, gently rocking a sleeping Eva.
“We make a pretty cute family huh?” I asked smiling over at him.
“Yeah we do,” he agreed kissing me with a smile.
*Justin’s POV*
A few weeks later we were able to take the girls home from the hospital and everything has pretty much been running smoothly.
Selena and I got married they day she got out of the hospital, as promised and we are not planning a really small wedding for just friends and family for my sake.
“Justin can you get them? I’m so tired,” Selena whimpered as they girls’ cries through the baby monitor got louder and louder at 2 in the morning.
“Sure love. Go back to sleep,” I said kissing her head and sliding out of bed to shuffle my feet to the girls’ room.

“Daddy’s here,” I said with a yawn as I went to take the premade milk bottles out of the mini-fridge we had put in the room for nights like this and put them in the microwave we also had put in the room.
Once both bottles were done set them down on the side table by the rocking chair and picked up the girls, one in each arm. I sat in the chair situating myself so that I could hold their bottles for them and also hold them.
“I know that you girls are really little and let’s be honest you will never remember this but don’t ever forget that I love you, both of you. You girls are my world. I will do whatever I have to in order to provide for you and keep you safe,” I said rocking myself lightly as I watched both of them suck away on their bottle without a care in the world.
While I waited for them to finish I decided I would sing to them softly, just making up the words as my mind wondered from place to place so late at night.
“Okay time for bed,” I said putting the bottles to the side as they finished.
I burped them both and changed their diaper before laying them back in bed with a kiss on their head.
“Daddy loves you,” I said turning off the light and leaving the door cracked before sliding back into my room.
“You’re a really good dad,” Selena said as I climbed under the covers.
“What are you talking about?” I asked as I wrapped my arm around her stomach lightly and pulling her into my chest.
“I heard you talking and singing to them. It was really sweet and I just wanted you to know that you are a great father. Possibly even the best,” she joked.
“I love you too. No matter what happens in the future, I love you. Always have, always will.”
“I love you more,” she said kissing me.
Over the last few years, Selena and I had our highs and lows. At some points I honestly never thought we would get back together, but I’m glad we did, because I can’t imagine my life without her. The whole time we were just really Testing Fate. And it was so worth it.

Touch
Touch is a story about a boy named James, and his friends: a group of young, superpowered people brought together by trauma; all trying, in their own ways, to come to terms with what that trauma means to them and who they want to be in response to it. This is a learning process, and mistakes are made, but they grow, learn, and adapt to these difficulties in ways that some might say only young people can. While it may look it at first, this is not intended as a sad story, merely an honest one. I wanted to make the characters human, and unfortunately, that means that difficulties hit them in very real ways through the story, but then again, they have some equally human moments of warmth between one another as they grow. Triggers: Explores the aftereffects and recovery process of sexual abuse, and some other forms of physical abuse. I like to think I avoided making it edgy, but you deserve to be informed. Some readers have told me that it can feel a bit too real at times. A bit too honest. If you like what you read, feel free to comment or review. I like the feedback. Or you can vote for Touch on TopWebFiction. Touch also now has both a Discord and a Patreon! Updates weekly.
