"I can't believe these are mine." Adam smiles softly while looking at our six months old evil twins who are now sleeping peacefully after exhausting both of us for hours.

"I can't believe I have pushed these two baby gorillas out of me." Placing my hands on my hips, I narrow my eyes at them. And then nearly awwwed when both of their faces scrunched up at the same time.

Initially, we were not aware that we were having twins. On our second ultrasound, we found out that we just got lucky with buy one and get one offer.

"Way to ruin the moment." Adam shakes his head at me in amusement, then glances back at my BOGO baby gorillas.

He lightly pats Dylan and Logan's chest when we hear them grunting. From their expression, it seems like they are pushing poop out of their system.

"I will change Dylan and you handle Logan." Adam picks up Dylan when we are certain that they have emptied their stomachs and will not aim their pees at our faces.

They are fraternal twins, but I have noticed they behave quite similarly. Like if one cries the other cries as well, if one is hungry then the other will also cry out of hunger, even they poop at the same time.

Honestly, taking care of them would have been extremely difficult if Adam was not with me. He is a completes hands-on dad, since the moment they were born. I think he has changed their diapers more than I have. He has been a great support and helped me so much to adjust to this life as a mom.

Adam carries Dylan to the changing table while I grab Logan and lay him down on his changing station.

Our life took a drastic turn after having the twins, it has become even more challenging as taking care of a baby is not easy and here our hands are full with two babies.

We get into fights a lot because either I am too exhausted to think rationally or sometimes he is annoyed because he didn't get any rest as twins didn't let us sleep. However, this has brought us closer than before, as we both value each other even more and appreciate each other every effort.

"Oh, dude, how much shit your tiny tummy can produce?" I laugh unbuttoning Logan's onesie and throw his dirty diaper in the bin.

"You and your brother are the only two boys in this world, whose shit I will tolerate, well until you are small snuggly babies." I lightly squish his cheeks making him pout as I quickly change his diaper.

After cleaning him up, I nurse him because these boys get super hungry almost after every diaper change. When I finish feeding Logan, Adam places Dylan in my arms. He picks up Logan to burp him as I get busy with nursing Dylan. We both work as a team, and I think that's what makes it easier for us to take care of our babies.

Dylan fell asleep in my arms so I put him down inside his crib as Adam has already put Logan to sleep.

Sometimes I envy Adam the way he handles the twins, it seems like he knows some kind of magic because they hardly give him any trouble.

Once I was trying to put Dylan down for a nap, and he was being stubborn and refusing to sleep. And when Adam took him from me he just became this utterly cute baby and within minutes he fell asleep.

I feel that they both have their favorites as Logan seems to be more attached to me, while Dylan is Adam's snuggle bug.

Smiling at my sleeping devils, I silently gaze at them. My heart aches beautifully just by looking at them, I can't put into words how much love I have for them. Sometimes it feels like my heart will burst because it seems impossible to contain this much love inside it.

When someone used to say that they can die for someone, I had always found it hilarious and unbelievable because no one can die for anyone. However, after having my babies I can truly understand this feeling because I can give my life for them.

"You are a champion, you know that?" Adam snakes his free arm around my waist startling me and pulls me into his chest, "You always keep our happiness first even if it means sacrificing yours. The way you balance your work and personal life is commendable. You should know that I am so proud of you, beautiful." He kisses my hair making me tear up a little.

It is difficult for any woman to adjust to this big change in her life when she becomes a mother. So when someone appreciates you, it really means a lot. Especially when the person who values your efforts is your significant other, it just makes everything a thousand times better for you.

"Thank you," I mumble into his chest. "Without you, I couldn't have done anything." Tilting my head, I glance at him.

"Sometimes I wonder are you real?" I caress the side of his face, his light stubble tickles my fingers, "Because how can someone be so perfect?"

He lets out a hearty laugh making my eyes widen in horror as I quickly glance at the twins. Thankfully, they are still sleeping causing me to sigh in relief.

"If you feel that I am perfect then it is all because of you." Removing hair away from my shoulder, he curls a strand around his finger, "We both had sacrificed a bit of ourselves to gain each other. You bring out the best in me, that's why you think I am perfect."

This is something which I truly admire about him, that he is extremely humble. He never accepts that how great he is. He often tells that he doesn't feel that he is doing anything extraordinary as it is his responsibility to take care of our family and nurture our kids with love and affection. Not even once he has made me feel insecure in our relationship, neither do I have ever felt that I am not his priority.

Whenever I need him, he's always there for me. And the thought of being away from him even if it is for a few days nearly sends me into a panic attack because I am so much dependent on him.

My day feels incomplete without talking to him. I need to see his face before going to sleep because even my worst day turns better just by the sight of him. I want his arms around me because that's is where I feel safe.

"You don't know but you are the best husband in this whole world." Crossing my arms behind his neck, I stand on my tiptoes and kiss him gently, "And I am madly in love with you."

"The moment you dragged me away from that little date which our parents had set up for us, I knew for sure if there is any girl with whom I will fall in love with...that will be you. And I am glad that you were as crazy as me for agreeing to marry me just after a few minutes of our first meeting because then I would not have been living my dream life with my best friend and wife." His affectionate gaze locks with mine while he rests his forehead against mine.

Weaving his fingers in my hair, he slightly tilts my head to the side as he kisses me in a way that sets free thousand of butterflies in my stomach.

I don't think I will ever get used to this feeling because every time he expresses how he feels about me, and the truthness behind his words just warms my heart.

His love encases my being in a protective shield, distancing me from every pain and sorrow, at the same time it fills my life only with contentment and serenity.
