Love Grows (Love series: book 3)

Chapter 25.

Scott 

After doing what the nurses told me to do, wash my hands, put a gown and mask on. I was finally took to where our twins are, which is still crazy to say.

When I first saw them in their incubators, hooked up to IVs and all different wires to help them, it broke my heart because they are so tiny, and Ella should be here for this moment too.

I still can't believe we have a son and a daughter, it's beyond unreal how we didn't know Ella was pregnant with twins.

I am shocked and scared right now, yes, I am but I'm also overjoyed and feel so much love, my heart just grew two times bigger because of these little two.

As much as I'm glad that they are here and doing so good, I can't help but have this dread feeling in the pit of my stomach, I don't know if it's because I'm worried about Ella, or the fact the doctor didn't really say much other then she was going to recovery after she had the twins, I need to see her awake and I need to see her with my own two eyes, I think once that happens I will be able to breathe again, because I know she's okay and she's with me.

Shaking out of my thoughts and looked over to the babies who are side by side in their incubators.

"Hello little ones, I'm you're daddy-" I broke in a hush voice as I look at them, tears forming in my eyes.

"You two are the most precious gifts, along with your big sister that your mother and I have ever received. And you are so loved, there's a whole family waiting to meet you-;"

Taking a deep breath and re-focused my eyes on them.

"You sister Remi, she was excited to be a big sister. Wait until she finds out she's a big sister twice over, I just know that she is going adore the both of you so much. And you have aunts, uncles, and grandparents who love you so much already" I looked over to the nurse who smiled gently and then checked over the other babies there.

"I was so happy when your mommy told me there was going to be a you. I remember feeling scared but so much love and happiness. I couldn't wait to meet you, be your daddy and I get to do that now with both of.-;"

Letting my thoughts trail off Ella.

"And you have the best mommy in the world. Because your mommy is brave, kind, strong and caring, she has so much love to give, and she is the best person daddy knows and we are all lucky to have her-;" I broke when I heard my name.

"Scott" turning away from the twins and looked behind me to see Oliver and Amanda. Standing up from the chair and looked at them.

"What's going on?"

"The doctor needs to speak to you about Ella" Oliver replies.

"You go we will stay with the babies" Amanda added.

Taking one more look at the twins before nodding my head at my sister-in-law, while trying to ignore the nagging feeling of dreed in my gut again.

Making my way back to Ella's room and trying to calm my thoughts as I head towards my wife.

I'm trying to not let my thoughts go into overdrive and think the worst because Ella she needs me to strong for her and have to have the hope that she always carries with her.

Stopping in my tracks as I walk into Ella's room and come face to face with her doctor along with her parents.

Locking my eyes on her as I walk over to Ella and kiss her gently on the forehead.

I hate seeing her like this hooked up too machines, a tube to help her breathe.

"What's going on?" I ask nobody and everyone at the same time.

"Scott, when we tried to bring Ella of the ventilator she struggled and we had to put her back on it-;" The doctor stated to say, cutting her off.

"Why? shouldn't she be awake now that the babies are here?" I shot out.

"We ran some scans and the seizures have caused a small bleed on Ella's brain"

"My poor baby-;" I barely hear Gail gasp as I keep my focus on the doctors.

"What does all this mean? Is she going to wake up?"

"We're not sure, for now we're going to keep her on the ventilator and repeat her scans. Hopefully the bleed will clear up on its own and then we can try and bring Ella off the ventilator again" She answers me.

"How long will she have to be on it?" Riggs asks.

"Every case is different; I couldn't tell you a time frame. All we can do now it wait and see, I'm sorry I don't have better news. I will be back to check on her in a few hours." The doctor says before heading out of the room, leaving us alone with Ella.

Shaking my head in defeat. How the hell did we get here? How the hell did this happened?

All I can hear in my head is the doctors' words.

Brain bleed,

wait and see,

I'm sorry.

These words that have no meaning to me whatsoever because Ella should be awake, she should be meeting our babies and breathing on her own.

I don't understand how this all happened. I've spent the last seven months worrying about everything that could have gone wrong with the pregnancy. But I never stopped and thought for a second that I could lose Ella.

I can't lose her, she's everything to me and Remi, we need her. She is our whole world, we wouldn't survive without her.....I wouldn't be able to survive without her.

She needs to wake up.

She needs to be okay.

We can't lose her.

She's my everything.....
