Javen wake up! I think it’s time. 

 Hello Dad. Vala says its time. I know the doctor is on the way. Vala just stay calm and breathe.  Dr. Tinelle the child is coming. Vala calm down you will be fine my dear. Desmond, Javen she has preeclampsia, I am not sure if she or the child will make it. I need you to please wait outside. Can I see her please… just quickly? Alright Javen just for a moment tho. Vala the doctor said you and our child will be okay. I have to wait outside but I will see you in a bit. I love you Stacey.

Vala:

He used my real name, for the first time in forever. I am in so much pain and I feel so weak. I don’t know if I can do this. I have felt much pain in my life but this is the worst. I just pray that my child will be okay. I hope that my time will not come to an end, I have to live for my child and to see the day that will really be free. I need to tell of everything that has happen to me and the others.

The doctor gives me some medication that calms the pain for a little while but when it comes back it is more painful than ever. I start to scream and moan in pain. After a while the doctor tells me to push, so I do. I scream so loud that I think that the big man will come in here and kill me. I start to cry and everything seems to be going dark around me. I hear the doctor tell me to open my eyes and keep pushing. I do as he says. I am fighting to breathe through my pain and my screams. Finally the doctor tells me I can stop pushing for a few minutes. He makes me have a sip of some water then tells me to start pushing once again. Finally through my screams I hear the sound of small cries. I feel weak and exhausted.

I start to shut my eyes but the doctor keeps telling me to keep them open. The pain is slowly dimensioning. The doctor finally says congratulations you have a beautiful daughter and a handsome son.  I look at him and started to cry. I thought I was only going to give birth to one child, but instead I have been given two. He tells me that they are a little underweight, but healthy. He hands me the both of them and asks me what their names are. I look at him and say I want them to be named Ryan and Kendall. He asked me why and I said I just like those names.

He took Ryan and Kendall from me and put them in a crib. I then started to cry and once again started to scream in pain. The doctor then told me that I am hemorrhaging. I hear my children crying and I can’t help them. I want to go and hold them and tell them that they are okay but I can’t move.

The pain is all of a sudden gone and I get a really floating sensation. I start to see darkness falling in around me. At this time I manage to say I love you Ryan and I love you Kendall. Bright lights replace the darkness and I know that this is it, my journey and my fight for my life is over. I just pray my children will be okay.
