*Following a recent trip to the hospital after expectant wife Mariah Carey experienced a bout of contractions, Nick Cannon is already getting a taste of late-night parenting shifts.

“They’re calling it a ‘scare,’ but really, it was just nerve-racking,” Cannon, 30, tells the Los Angeles Times. “We were in the hospital from 4 a.m. until I don’t even know.”

And although Cannon is clearly excited about impending fatherhood to boy/girl twins — and mom-to-be Carey, 42, is “super ready” to meet the babies — the singer admits he is hoping their arrival is closer to their May 14 due date.

“The thing with twins is that you want them in their natural incubator as long as possible,” he says. “They might be ready to come out, but we need them to stay in for a while.”
