"Rafe." I sat up at 3 in the morning.  Rafe was still snoring. "Rafe." I said again.  I sigh when he still doesn't wake up.  "RAFE!" "GOD DANGIT WOMAN!" I laughed as Rafe bolted up right.  "What is it?" He asked. "My water broke.  I'm in labor." I said calmly. "What." The color drained from Rafe's face.  "I am in labor.  Get my bag,  the car seats are in the car,  I'll call John B and Pope,  but you need to go wake up everyone. I will meet you downstairs." Rafe sprung out of bed in a panic.  "Okay,  okay,  okay,  it's fine.  We're fine. I gotta get the bag, and wake-SARAH, WHEEZIE, JJ! GET UP!! THE BABIES ARE COMING OUT!! THE BABIES ARE COMING OUT!!!" Rafe screamed and ran through the house.  I chuckled,  and waddled to the bathroom to pack my toothbrush and shower stuff.  "Okay little ones,  I can't wait to meet you,  but please wait til I get the epidural to come out of me." I rub my belly,  and started to make my way down the stairs. "What are you doing little lady?" Pope said as he ran up to help me. "How'd you get here? I haven't even called you guys." I said. "Sarah called. We brought the Twinkie." John B said from the bottom of the staircase. "Rafe?" I called as we got outside. "IM HERE IM HERE WHATS WRONG?!" He yelled and made a face. "Baby,  I am just as nervous as you are,  but I am still not 100% awake,  so please don't yell." I said calmly,  and Rafe nodded.  We all got in the car and began the drive to the hospital.

"Well shit." I breathed as the contractions got a hundred times worse not even 10 minutes later.  "Just breathe Skye." Sarah told me,  and I nodded as I inhaled.  Rafe rubbed my arms,  and kissed the top of my head as I whimpered.  "Okay we're here." John b threw the car in park and rafe carried me into the hospital.  "Nurse! She's in labor and is in a lot of pain." He said panicked,  and the nurse brought a wheelchair over before we were all led to a room. Rafe put me into the bed,  and helped me get comfortable.  "The doctor will be in soon to check you,  in the meantime,  would you like the epidural?" She asked and I nodded quickly.  She gave me the epidural,  and I almost passed out,  but the pain from the contractions was much easier to deal with, so I was happy.  Rafe sat in the bed behind me as the doctor checked me. "Well,  let's get this ball rolling,  cause you are already at 10 centimeters. You ready to push?" She asked.  My eyes widened and I began to cry. "I don't know.." I sobbed and Rafe hugged me. "Baby,  you're gonna do perfect.  Okay?  And all of us are right here with you. You can do this." He whispered in my ear.  I nodded,  and looked at the doctor.  With Rafe behind me,  Sarah holding one hand,  and Kie holding the other, John B, JJ and Pope standing next to the girls,  and Wheezie taking a picture, I nodded,  and I pushed as hard as I could.  "Okay,  push again." The doctor said,  and I let out a cry. Rafe pet my hair,  and tried to soothe me. "You're doing so good,  just breathe Skye." He whispered over and over. "I am trying to breathe,  but I can't focus when you're tickling my ear!" I yelled and Rafe chuckled. "Push again." The doctor repeated. "ITS NOT FUCKING FUNNY!" I screamed. "Okay! Baby number one's head is out,  now I need you to push harder,  but slower,  if you push too fast you're going to tear." The doctor warned,  and I tried to do as she said.  "Congratulations! Baby number one is a girl!" The Doctor said,  and I let out a breath of relief.  "What's her name?" The nurse asked.  "Aspen Rae." I said,  trying to catch my breath.  "Alright honey,  we're going to do the same thing again,  cause baby number two is crowning." The doctor said,  and I began to push.  "Okay,  their head is out, now push slowly this time okay?" The doctor warned once again, and I nodded. "Okay! Baby number two is a boy!" The doctor said happily as Sarah was blotting the sweat off my face and Rafe climbed out from behind me. "What's this one's name?"  "His name is Ronan Jacob." Rafe said,  and the nurse nodded.  "Would you like to hold them?" The doctor asked.  Rafe nodded and took Aspen in his arms,  and the nurse handed Ronan to me. "Oh my god they're beautiful." I cried as Rafe sat next to me on the bed.  Sarah and Kie were crying.  John b, JJ and Pope were standing at the foot of the bed.  "Do you want a picture of you all?" The nurse asked,  and held up a Polaroid camera.  I smiled and nodded,  and everyone crowded into the picture. "Okay,  one,  two, three!" The flash went off,  and the picture printed out.  "Give it a few minutes to develop,  it should turn out very good." The nurse smiled,  and the crew left Rafe and I alone with our babies.  "They're so beautiful." I whispered. "Aspen looks just like you." Rafe smiled.  "And Ronan looks just like you." I giggled.  "I love you Skye.  And our little babies,  more than anything in the world." Rafe told me.  "I love you, and our little babies more than life itself."
