Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

"Carrying twins is definitely more exhausting than a single pregnancy, but there's no need to be too anxious. Ms. Kensington is still young-if she takes care of herself after the delivery, she should recover just fine."

Dr. Warren adjusted his glasses and continued, "As for whether she'll deliver naturally or need a C-section-well, it's true that most twin pregnancies do end with a C-section. But sometimes, if the mother is in excellent shape, we encourage a natural birth as well."

"Wow!" Irwin's eyes widened in wonder. "Are they both going to be brothers?"

"We don't know yet," Stewart replied, his tone gentle. "We'll have to wait a few more months to find out."

"I can't wait!" Irwin beamed. Any lingering worries he'd had about the new babies had completely vanished.

"Ms. Radcliffe told me that when the babies are born, I'll be their big brother. They'll be my family, and I have to look after them and set a good example!"
