Chapter 136


Andy's POV

The next day, Jinxx and Alice decided to come up to the hospital. They dropped Lennon off with my parents and I met them in the waiting room. Like always, I took them to the NICU first. Seeing the babies is just happier than seeing ShyAnne in her state. I brought them to the window and pointing out the triplets.

"Our boy is Carter Andrew, he's been doing really well so they're scheduling his heart surgery soon. The strongest one is Callie Amy. Finally, this is Chloe Alice." I said.

"Beautiful names." Alice said.

"Wait." Jinxx said and I nodded. Alice looked between the two of us with her eyebrow raised. "They named one of the babies after you." Jinxx explained.

"Wait." She said, looking at Chloe and then looking at me.

"We named our daughter Chloe Alice." I said. "ShyAnne was dead set on giving one of them your name. You mean so much to her." I said, feeling my throat get sore as I held back tears. Alice covered her mouth and tears rolled from her eyes.

"Can we please go see her?" She asked and I nodded. I took them to the ICU and walked into ShyAnne's room with them. "Oh no." She squeaked, grabbing ShyAnne's lip hand.

"Fuck." Jinxx said quietly, his hands in his pockets. He walked up to his wife and rubbed her back as she cried. We sat for a while, nobody saying a word. Finally, we decided to get up and leave the room. "I didn't realize it was that bad." Jinxx said and I nodded.

"We'll be okay though." I said, nodding. "It'll be okay." I said.

"We should probably take Lennon off your parents' hands, but seriously, let us know if you need anything at all. We are here for you night and day." Jinxx said.

"Thanks man, I really appreciate it." I said, hugging him and Alice and then letting them leave. The band slowly trickled in to come see the babies, ShyAnne, and me. Lonny and Rhita even flew in from Canada.

"Thank you so much for coming all the way down here." I said, hugging them.

"No problem, we knew we had to be there to support you guys." He said with a smile. Soon enough, it was just me alone in ShyAnne's room again. Alone with my own thoughts which was very dangerous. I heard the door open and turned to see Dr. Mason, the twins doctor, with another doctor.

"Oh hi." I said, raking my fingers through my hair.

"Hello Mr. Biersack. This is Dr. Gonzales, the cardiologist on your son's case. We have scheduled his surgery for 8 am tomorrow."

"Oh wow, is it safe for him to go in? I don't know, he's just so little."

"This is the best time to do it Mr. Biersack. We want to do it now in case the hole becomes bigger and the surgery becomes more difficult. He's been stable for a few days and we believe he can handle the procedure." Dr. Gonzales explained.

"Okay." I said, nodding. They handed me a stack of paperwork and I began filling it out. It was mostly legal forms and consent forms. I shook my head as I signed my son's life away, my hand trembling the whole time. When I was done, I set the paperwork to the side and pulled my chair close to ShyAnne's bedside. I grabbed her hand and let out a sigh, putting the back of her hand to my lips. I held it there, letting tears roll from my eyes.

"I was really hoping you'd be awake before his surgery. I-I can't do this alone ShyAnne. You should be in the waiting room with me, crying on my shoulder. Hell, we shouldn't be here at all." I said, shaking my head. 

"FUCK!" I screamed, stomping my foot on the floor. I let go of her hand and I put my head into my own hands, sobbing loudly.  "Fuck, fuck, fuck fuck." I said, barely able to breathe from how hard I was crying. I walked out of ShyAnne's room and sprinted down the hallway and out of the hospital. "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" I screamed, finally breaking from all I've had to deal with the past few days. I collapsed on the ground and laid there, sobbing like a five year old. I'm sure I looked stupid as hell, but this was the only thing I could think of to relieve the extreme heartbreak I'm feeling. After throwing a tantrum for ten minutes, I stood up, dusted myself off, and went back to ShyAnne's room to sit in silence again.

The next day, I went to the NICU at 7:30. They gave me gloves and a mask and I put them on as I watched my son be rolled out of the NICU. They stopped in front of me and I reached in through the hole on the side of his bassinet. 

"You're going to do great." I said to him, rubbing his arm. "Get better so daddy can hold you." I said, my voice cracking. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Mommy hasn't even met you yet and I know she loves you so much. I love you too Carter, I'll see you after surgery." I said to him, pulling my arm out and standing up. I followed them down the maze of halls until I was stopped at a set of double doors.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you go any further." One of the nurses said. I nodded and watched as they wheeled my son away from me. I took off my gloves and mask and threw them in the nearest trash can. I went to ShyAnne's room where her parents were.

"Well, they took him back." I sighed, sitting down next to ShyAnne and grabbing her hand. I sat for hours, jumping every time the door opened, and then becoming disappointed when I realized it was just a nurse.

"Mr. Biersack." I heard a few hours later. I turned to see Dr. Mason and Dr. Gonzales standing at the door.

"Hello." I said, jumping to my feet and running over to them.

"The surgery went great." Dr. Gonzales smiled. "He's recovering now, but I don't foresee him having any heart issues as he gets older. I will continue to monitor him while he's here, but I expect him to only get better from here."

"That's great news. Thank you so much!" I exclaimed.

"A nurse will come get you when you can come see him." Dr. Mason said and I thanked him as well. They left and I looked at ShyAnne's parents who were smiling for the first time since they got here.

"That's amazing news Andy." Her mom said. I waited for what felt like forever until a nurse came to get me. I gowned up and went into the NICU. I reached my hands into Carter's bassinet first, rubbing his tiny arm with my finger.

"Great job buddy!" I quietly exclaimed. "You did so good and I'm so proud of you." I sat with him a little bit more before moving onto Chloe. 

"Alright, you're next." I told her. "You need to get off this vent and improve those lungs little lady. I need my babies healthy and home with me." I turned around and the nurse handed Callie to me.

"Thank you for being healthy." I told her, desperately wanting to kiss her little forehead. I held her as long as I could before finally putting her down. I left the NICU and went back to ShyAnne, sitting by her bedside once again.
