I was laying on the couch reading a book while Sarah was taking a nap until I was pulled from my book by Sarahs voice

"oh shit, oh shit, oh shit", Sarah groaned from the bedroom

I walked in finding Sarah sitting up in a wet circle

"darling did you wet the bed?", I rose my brows in concern. Sarah had done it before when she couldn't get to the bathroom in time.

"I don't think so", she shook her head "no I definitely didn't", Sarah whimpered, gripping her stomach

"darling", I rushed over, helping her stand up, only for her to fall back down again

"oh god that hurts", she moaned in pain

"sweetheart let's get you to the hospital", I spoke quickly grabbing a new set of sweatpants

"but the babies aren't due for another four weeks", she hissed, feeling another wave of pain take over her

"Erin said that twins commonly come early", I helped her lay back as I dragged her soaked pants off her body, drying her and pulling up the new pair

"but what if they're not ready?"

Sarahs voice changed in that moment. I had heard that change thousand times before.

she was scared .

"princess", I leant over her, wiping her tears with my thumb "it doesn't matter right now because they're coming"

"holland", her voice cracked, I sat beside her, caressing her face softly 

"darling we have everything ready okay? your bag is packed, the nursery is done, we have the names picked-"

"what about the car seats?", she choked

"I will bring those down to the car okay? everything is going to be okay my darling, I promise you", I kissed her forehead gently 

"my mom-"

"I'll call her, and Amanda.. there is nothing you need to worry about sweet-pea. But we do need to get you to the hospital"

"okay", she nodded wiping her tears with her sleeves "why don't you get the car seats and the bag, drive the car out front and I'll meet you downstairs"

"okay my love", I helped her stand up, before grabbing her bag and the seats, hurrying down the elevator to get the car 

"Ms.Taylor, how are this evening?", the doorman asked once I had pulled up out the front of the building 

"Sarahs water broke, so we're going to the hospital", I spoke quickly

"oh congratulations"

"thank you, oh there she is", I opened the car door, walking to help her into the car

"I called Erin", she breathed as she struggled into the car 

"okay perfect, see everything is on schedule honey", I held her hand, beginning to drive off into the busy streets of New York 

"oh god", Sarah rocked back and fourth,

"deep breaths my love", I took her hand again

"fuck, oh.. fuck!"

"sweetheart, we're almost there, okay?"

but I only got a shot nod in response 

"sweetheart, how much pain are you in?", I panicked noticing her tears falling 

"the contraction passed. I don't know why I'm crying", she stuttered 

"it's right over there, just a couple more minutes okay darling?"
