*4 months later*

The past few months packages for the nursery have been slowly arriving and we've been getting the nursery ready, which is the room right next to me and Emersons, but we finally finished the room a few nights ago. As of last night me and the group decided to have a movie night and we've been staying in lately where im 8 1/2 months pregnant, I haven't been to the beach in what feels like forever, it's starting to drive me a little crazy.

I had a hard time sleeping last night, but I just thought it was because of how pregnant I was, but boy was I wrong. It was about 4:30 in the morning when I woke everyone one up, letting them know that I was pretty sure I was in labor, they all quickly helped me get a bag together and helped me get into the car. Erin and Lane rode in the back seat while me and Emerson were in the front, he held my hand for the 30 minute drive we had, every time a contraction hit I squeezed his hand and he always looked over to me and told me to breathe and we would be at the hospital soon.

After what felt like the longest 30 minutes of my life we finally arrived to the hospital where they quickly got me checked in and put into a room. There they had me wear a gown, and they hooked me up to a bunch of monitors to monitor my heart rate and oxygen, and the babies heart rates and oxygen.

Once they got me all settled they checked how dilatated I was, "You are currently 8 centimeters dilatated." I was scared and looked over to Emerson who was holding my hand and trying to calm me down, I was so scared where I didn't even have my own mother here to help me with the birth of my twins. The doctors were preparing me for labor when Erin's mom walked in, when I seen her I cried so hard. She was stepping in as my mom, she came over and kissed my forehead, "Hi sweetheart, I know your probably scared, but don't worry ok? Me and Erin won't leave your side." She assured me, tears fell down my face as I nodded and smiled.

"Ok, are you ready to start pushing?" The doctor asked me, Emerson stood a little above me and was ready to help me anyway possible. The doctors helped me position myself to push and they all encouraged me to deliver these babies.

After 8 minutes of brutal pain and pushing he was born, the doctor held up the baby so I could see him and he let me hold him for a minute before they asked him if he wanted to cut the umbilical cord, "Dad? Do you want to cut the cord?" Emmett didn't care that they called him the father but he wasn't, he just went with it as if they were his own.

"Ok superwoman! Are you ready to push her out now?" The doctor asked me, I was so terrified when I looked at Erin, Laura, and Emerson when they reassured me I can do this. They had me start pushing again and it was an even worse pain than before. Finally I heard another cry and they brought her to my chest where I held her close. They again asked if he wanted to cut the cord and again he did just that.

The doctors stitched me up, while the nurses cleaned up the babied, "They're perfect." Emerson told me while standing by them helping clean them.

They brought the twins over to me and I held the girl while Erin held the boy, the nurses helped me feed her, and as soon as I was 'exposed' Emerson took one of the hospital blankets and covered me up. I thanked all of them before they left the room, I kissed her on her head and whispered how precious and perfect she was. I then had to trade off babies with Erin, and this time Laura helped me start feeding him, "You did so amazing!" She stated, and I smiled.

Lane was out in the hall when Erin brought him in holding the girl in her arms, "Wow Remi. You really did it! You truly are a rockstar!" He told me as he walked in. I smiled and thanked him, "Do these twins have names?" Lane asked

"Her name is Rowyn, and his name is Raeden." I remark, smiling at the bundles of happiness I've created. The group shares how much they love the names, and after a bit Laura informs us that she has work and has to leave.

I have both babies laid on the bed in front of me and I smile at them humming a melody my mom sang to me when I was little, I prayed so many nights that they would never go through the pain and suffering I went through. I picked up Rowyn and asked if anyone wanted to hold her while I changed Raedens diaper, and instantly Erin volunteers herself.

Once he's all changed I put him in an adorable jumper I didn't know was packed, and the swaddled him. I rocked him to sleep and handed him off to Emerson whom placed him in his bassinet that the hospital had when he was born. I asked for Rowyn from Erin and she was sad to hand her over but she spoke out, "You are and are going to be an amazing mom Remi, I can see it already."

"Thank you Erin...I needed that." I respond, smiling. I sprawl Rowyn out on the bed and she stretches after I take her out of her swaddle and she does the most adorable yawn, I smile and pick her up kissing her little face. Once she's all ready for bonding time with Emmett I hand her over to him and he takes his shirt off before taking her, he sits down carefully pulling a soft lightweight blanket over them. I beam at how sweet and amazing he is with the baby. I fell asleep now that I had no babies in my arms and I knew they were perfectly safe.

I wake up to see Erin and Lane at the foot of the bed holding the twins, I look to my right and see Emerson down on one knee, holding up the most gorgeous diamond ring, "Remi... will you marry me?"
