James Smith POV

     I woke up in my bed with the biggest headache. As I lay there looking around, Im all alone but there are all types of IV bags and monitors everywhere in my room. What the hell happened ? I try to remember what happened but all I can remember is over hearing my parents talking on the phone to someone, and then hearing footsteps. I remember falling but I don't remember what I fell over, just black everywhere. I have faint memories of Ocean's voice telling me she's having twins. I don't know if its true. When she told me it felt almost like a dream, like it was her but wasn't really her. God my head is killing me. My whole body is killing me but my head seems to be the worst. I tried to stand but fell right back down, and before I could try again my mom came running in the room.

Janie: Oh my god, JEMERSON ! My sweet James, you're alright ! What are you doing get back into bed.
James: What happened mom, I can't stand and my head is killing me.
Janie: James, you had an accident. What do you remember ?
James: Not much, I remember you guys on the phone with someone and I remember falling but I don't remember off what, my vision went black and next thing I knew I'm waking up with needles in my arm.
Janie: Oh sweetie, you've been in a coma for five months.
James: Five months ?!
Janie: Yes baby, I'm sorry this happened to you.

{Jemerson walks into the room}

Jemerson: What is it sweetie- JAMES !!

{He runs and hugs me, and I wince in pain as he does so}

Jemerson: Im sorry, I'm just so excited ! Son, I thought id never get to have another conversation with you again !
James: It doesn't feel like I've been sleep for that long, mom told me its been five months. Wait, five months ? Ocean's 9 months pregnant ! I have to go see her !
Janie: Son, she's at the hospital already. She's having twins, and she's naming them after her parents, but they get our last name. Baby Boy's middle name is your name though, she thought of you when she was naming those babies.
James: Thanks, mom. I was losing hope that she would ever want to talk to me again let alone let me see the baby, wait twins ! I remember hearing her voice tell me she was having twins but I thought it was a dream ! I can't believe this ! I have to get to the hospital right now before she delivers the babies !
Jemerson: Son, its one more thing you need to know before we take you to the hospital.
James: What is it ?
Jemerson: Ocean has been in labor for hours. She just signed an agreement to get a C-section to get the twins out.
James: Wait, a C-section, is that safe ?
Jemerson: Not always, but I'm sure the doctors know what they're doing. I just wanted you to know in case anything happens, you need to be prepared to handle anything.
James: Nothing's going to happen, right mom ?!
Janie: Only time will tell son, I suggest you prepare yourself. We're here for you and Ocean always.
Jemerson: What your mother said. Now lets get you to the hospital.

They helped me get into a wheelchair since I couldn't walk on my own and we got in the car and took off. I can't believe Ocean has to get a C-section. In the car I did some research on them and they seem pretty safe overall but I came across a few articles where the mothers actually didn't survive the surgery and that scares the hell out of me. The thought of Ocean possibly not surviving this breaks my heart, but she's strong, she'll make it, right ?
We arrive to the hospital and I immediately ask for Ocean Odega. They tell me since I'm the father of the twins I can go into her room to wait for her surgery but my parents have to wait. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

Ocean Odega POV

I was sitting in my hospital room waiting for the doctor to come take me to surgery when there's a knock on the door. I told my mom to answer it and when she did, she stopped in her tracks and started crying.

Ocean: What's wrong mom, who is it ?
Alaina: It's.........James.

When I heard his name he rolled into the room in a wheelchair. I held back tears, not because I miss him but because I know for sure now that the twins will have their father. James is my first love so Im happy he's okay as a whole but I'm really excited that he's okay so that the twins wont grow up asking what happened to their dad.

Ocean: James ?
James: It's me Ocean. My mom told me everything. Im so sorry I left you for so long. Im so sorry I wasn't here for the remainder of your pregnancy. Im so SO sorry that I put you through any type of pain with any of my actions. Im here now. Im here for you and the twins. Austin and Alaina.
Ocean: James, I appreciate what you're saying, but right now Im just focused on you being here. Thank you for coming.
James: I wouldn't miss it for the world.

A few minutes later the doctor came in the room to transport me to the OR where he would perform my C-Section. My mom came with me because James couldn't go, considering he was in a wheelchair and he had to do checkup things since he just woke up before coming here. They took me into the room, prepped me, and before I knew it, it was time to deliver.
