Today I am 36 weeks pregnant and I'm scheduled for a c section at 12pm because baby A is breech so it's too dangerous for me to push them out. I'm so nervous. I just want them to be safe.
"Chloe?"
Chris has been carrying our bags down stairs and I'm sat on the bed. I'm emotional, I don't know what's going to happen and I'm scared.
"Chloe you read.....baby what's wrong?"
I look up at him, tears flowing "I'm scared"
He comes and sits down next to me, wraps his arm around me "so am I baby. But everything is going to be okay. And by the end of today We are going to have two beautiful babies"
I nod and he kisses my forehead "come on, let's go"
We drove to the hospital and they got me settled in my room.
"Chris?"
"Yeah baby?"
"If anything happens to me...."
"No Chloe. Don't say that"
"Please chris. If anything happens you have to promise to move on okay. With the babies and fall in love again and....."
He sits down on the edge of the bed "look at me" he puts his finger under my jaw and tilts it up.
"Im not loosing you, or these babies. We are going to have 2 beautiful baby girls and we are going to get married and live a long and happy life together okay"
I nod and he kisses me passionately.
Before I know it it's time to go to theatre, chris holds my hand the whole time. They prep me and then numb me. I can hear the doctors talking about how they want to proceed. I feel tugging but no pain, it's such a strange feeling.
At 12:35pm our first baby is born, the doctor holds her up, she is beautiful. They take her away to clean her, I can hear her crying and she sounds so cute.
And then at 12:37pm our second baby is here, they take her away to get cleaned up too.
The nurses bring both of the girls over to us, chris holds them as I'm lay down and I can't move.
"Oh chris there beautiful"
"Just like there mummy"
We are both crying so much, chris is smiling down at our girls. He is going to be such an amazing dad.
All of sudden I feel really dizzy, my head is pounding and I feel like I'm going to be sick.
"Chris?"
"Yeah baby"
"I don't feel......"
Next thing I know everything goes black.Chris POV
"I don't feel......"
"Chloe?"
She start to shake on the bed, the nurses move me out of the way. They take the girls from me and put them into there beds.
"Chloe!!! Chloe!!!! What's wrong with her!!!!" I'm shouting at the top of my lungs.
"Get him and those babies out of here now!!!!" The doctor yells at the nurses, they drag me out.
Oh god! I can't loose her! I just can't.
They take the girls to the nursery, I stay with them and feed them. Chloe wanted to breastfeed but she isn't.....she isn't here so I have to bottle feed them. They are so beautiful and I love them so much already. Chloe should be here with me. She should be next to me.
I can't help but cry, the nurse comes over and rests her hand on my shoulder.
"Is there anyone I can call for you?"
I nod "please. My mum Lisa capuano. She is down on our records"
"Okay. I'll go and do that now"
My mum wanted to come to the hospital but I told her everything would be fine. How stupid was I.
After about an hour, my mum comes through the door. I stand up and start crying, she wraps her arms around me and shhhhhies me.
I don't know how long I'm stood there for, I pull away and she cups my face.
"Chloe is a fighter she is going to be just fine okay"
I nod, I hope she is I can't live without her.
She looks down at the cribs "are these my beautiful granddaughters?"
I laugh "yeah they are"
"Oh chris there perfect. What's there names?"
"Im going to wait till Chloe is okay before telling everyone"
"Okay sweetie. Shall we go get you a coffee?"
"But the girls"
The nurse walks over "it's okay, I've got them. Go get a coffee and if I here any updates I'll let you know okay"
"Thank you"
I kiss my girls on there heads and head out with my mum.
"What happened chris?"
"I don't know, they did the c section, babies were fine. Chloe was fine and then all of sudden she just started seizing in front of me. They kicked me out and I haven't heard anything since. Mum I can't loose her. She is my everything, so are those girls. I can't do this without her."
"You won't have to honey, she will fight this I promise you"
My mum wraps me in another hug and I just cry. It's what I need to do right now.
"Mr Evans?"
I turn and the doctor is stood in front of me.
"Yes. Is she okay?"
