Luck and intuition
Play the cards
with spades to start
And after he's been hooked
I'll play the one
that's on his heart...
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face 🥂
Chapter Text
Although Henrik had watched numerous videos of C-section deliveries nothing prepared him for the rush of feelings that bombarded him as Lucy led him into the OR.
Seeing Skye lying on the operating table, it all became real.... Capitol R real.
She had already received her spinal, numbing her from lower chest down and the blue drape had been hung separating the doctors from her sight.
A stool had been placed next to Skye's head and Henrik moved quick and sure to sit on it, smiling confidently into Skye's worried eyes he gave her a reassuring kiss.
"I'm here babe, can you believe we're about to meet our girls?" His eyes twinkled in excitement.
"This is the weirdest sensation..." she mused.
"Alright you two, this will all go pretty fast, I don't want either of you to be alarmed alright?" Her doctor instructed as she looked over the sterile drape at them... "We want to be efficient at bringing these two beautiful little girls into the world... but they are still 8 weeks pre-term, so I will hold each up for you to see and then hand them off to their individual NICU team to assess."
"Skye, you shouldn't feel any pain, just a sense of pressure and tugging. Please let me know immediately if that's not the case as far as pain... or if you experience anything else, so that we can immediately take care of you."
"Okay..." Skye answered quietly. The tone that Henrik knew meant she was trying to keep her emotions at bay.
"Just breathe baby... we've got this." he assured her lovingly.
"I could do with another one of those kisses," she smiled at him trying to be brave, though Henrik saw the slight tremble of her lower lip.
The beeping of the monitors, the two groups of doctors and nurses standing by for Senna and Scarlet, the surgical team on the other side of the blue drape, the nurse and anesthesiologist on this side with the two of them.... It was a lot to process and overwhelming.
"I'm going to make my incision now Skye, just focus on Henrik... relax and breath..." the doctor's professional yet soothing and calm voice drifted over the barrier to them and Henrik squeezed Skye's hand.
"Hey babe, what do you think of me in this getup? Think I missed my calling? I'm working this hair covering hat don't you think?" He joked, trying to distract her causing her to smile.
He loved the way her eyes roved over him, taking in the whole presentation in scrubs and surgical cap... his hair pulled back into a ponytail.
"Go ahead and say it... I look super sexy" his megawatt smile causing her to relax.
"Hmmm, yeah... it's working for you..." Skye's eyes twinkled at him momentarily, then opened in surprise at the sudden sensation of pressure on her abdomen.
"Breathe babe... I'm right here... focus on me."
"Alright you two," the doctor said amongst a flurry of activity punctuated by a small cry... "meet Senna... Baby A" she said, smiling and held up the tiny babe before quickly handing it off.
Henrik and Skye exchanged a massive smile.
A minute later the process repeated itself, as they were briefly shown Scarlet before she was passed off as well.
