When Dreams Become Reality

Part 35

March 17 is normally the day when we all celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but today it was going to be different. It was about 2am. The day before was a world win. We finished folding and hanging the million of baby clothes and out the carseats in the car. We still hadn't packed any bags yet because they weren't due for another two weeks, We then went to Ellen's for a St. Patrick's Day party. We didn't stay to long. I was super tired from running around all day and my back hurt. Before going to sleep Patrick massaged my back and feet to releave some of the pain. I was still in some pain when we went to bed, but a few short hours after falling asleep I woke up to a very sharp pain through my abdomen and back. I laid in bed for 30 minutes and realized that I was in labor.

"Patrick." I say pushing him to wake him up.

"Hmm..." He says sleepily.

"I need you to get up."

"Why?"

"I'm in labor."

"What?" He shoots out of bed and is in shock.

"My contractions are about 8 minutes apart and..." I say before another contraction rips through my body.

"It's ok it is almost over just breathe." He says giving me his hand.

"We need to get dressed and pack bags."

"Ok you stay here and relax I'll go pack the bags."

"Patrick I'm not in competent I can pack a bag." I say getting up and walking into the nursery.

I open the closet doors. I swear the girls have more clothes then Patrick and me. I grab the matching daddy's little girl shirts and grab two pairs if black sweatpants. I neatly fold them and put them into the diaper bag where there is already diapers and other necessities for them. I go over where there is multiple bows and headbands. I grab a pink headband with a bow on it and a purple headband with a bow on it. As I am zipping up the diaper bag Patrick comes walking in.

"Ok I packed a bag for the both of us. I will take these out to the car and you can go get dressed. How are you doing?"

"Sore, but I know it will all be worth it in the end."

"Ok. Go get dressed I'll be back in a few."

After getting changed we head out to the car. As we are driving to the hospital I realize that we haven't called the doctor.

"Patrick we still need to call the doctor."

"Don't worry I already did that when I took the bags out to the car. She said to go around to the back and she will meet us back there. We already have a section of the floor blocked off for privacy."

When we reach the hospital we ate greeted by the doctor, a nurse, and two security guards. Patrick helps me out of the car and into a wheel chair. He grabs the bags from the backseat and we go inside. Miracously I a staying super calm. Maybe it is because I see it all the time and I know what the ending prize is. We chack in and get settled into a room. The doctor checks me out and tells me that I am about 4cm dialated.

"Well it is still to soon to get an epidural yet and your water hasn't broke yet so I would suggest that you guys go walk around the floor."

"Ok we will do that thanks." I say as she walks out.

"So want to go walk around?"

"Yeah pretty soon I'll have to be tied up in bed once I get an epidural."

"Are you sure you want one? You seem pretty calm to me."

"Yeah I do I know the pain will get worst and I want to be comfortable."

"Ok let's get this thing moving along." He says before helping me out of bed and walking around the floor.

---------

Twelve hours have past since we got to the hospital. My water broke not to long after we were walking around the floor. About an hour later I got my epidural. I took a much needed nap afterwords. The doctor comes in as I wake up with an ultrasound machine.

"We just want to make sure that everything is all set for a vaginal birth."

She puts the transducer on my stomach and looks to see if the progress is moving the way it should.

"Well it looks like you are going to get your wish. Now I'm going to check to see how far dialated you are."

"Wow you have certainly progressed fast. You are at 9cm and we can start pushing."

"Are you serious?"

"Yep I'll just page my team and we will get this show on the road."

"Oh my god. This is really happening." I say as things start becoming real.

"Yes it is. very soon we will meet our perfect daughters." He says kissing me.

"All right Sam on your next contraction I want you to push."

"Ok."

"Ok here it comes now push."

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10." Patricks says holding my hand helping me through it.

After two more pushes the head is out.

"You are doing wonderful babe. I can see her."

"Alright Sam one more push and your first baby girl will be here."

"Ok." I say breathlessly and push.

"She is here." Annouces the doctor.

"Oh my god she is so beautiful." I say crying.

"Dad would you like to cut the cord?"

"Yes." Patrick says in a shock tone at the sight of seeing his daughter being born."

The first baby girl is named Lily Grace Dempsey. Born at 3:24pm at 6 pounds 1 ounce. She is the splitting image of her father. With his dark black hair and bright blue eyes.

"Alright Sam it is time to welcome your other little girl."

Four minutes later Kaylee Annabelle Dempsey is welcomed to the world. Born at 3:28pm at 5 pounds 11 ounces. She is the splitting image of both her mother and father. With her mother's brown hair and her dad's bright blue eyes.

"Wow I can't believe they are here." I say after the twins went for their checkup and i changed and took a nap three hours later.

"They are perfect. You did amazing today I am so proud of you. I love you and you amaze me."

"i love you too." I say as we look down at the two beautiful little girls in our arms.
