Willow opened her eyes as pain encased her body. "Shhh, Trouble," Gabe said softly as he held her hand in his. "Momma is bringing you some pain medicine."
"Gabe," She mumbled as tears slipped out of her eyes.
"Here she is," Gabe said softly as he wiped her tears.
"Alright Momma," Erica smiled softly as she inserted something into her IV. "This is will ease some of the pain. The pain in your chest are the air bubbles trying to get out. Tomorrow we will see about getting you to stand so you don't start developing clots. Right now I just want you to rest."
"The babies?" Willow asked and Gabe held out his phone.
"We are swapping out every so often so everyone is with the babies," Gabe said as he fixed her hair. "They are so tiny but so cute."
"Names?" Willow asked curiously.
"We wanted you to decide the names," Nathan said softly. "You are the one that had to carry them after all. It only seemed right for you to decide."
"I can't," She shook her head. "Do you know who—"
"We do," Sean said as he walked in.
"Sean?" She looked at him confused, "You said you—"
"Raven's father's six best men are here, Pookie," Sean smiled softly.
"What?" She asked shocked.
"He sent his top six men down here when we thought there were only four babies," Corey explained. "They were to wait until you gave birth then stand guard until we go home. They were suppose to take shifts but now that there are six babies, Nikolai demanded each man stand guard for each baby. Nikolai and Anastasia are on their way down. Sean's parents and Uncle are already at the NICU. Victor banned his parents and threatened charges if they try anything."
"Wow," She said softly.
"Do you want to know the biological parents?" Sean asked and she frowned as she thought about it. "We already know but it doesn't matter to us, you know that, right? It's strictly for medical history, all those babies are all of ours."
"I don't know," She answered honestly. "I do know I can't go through this again," she winced as she tried to move then whimpered as the fire burned across her stomach.
"Dr. Roberts already cut and burned your tubes, Pookie," Sean smiled softly. "Did you forget you discussed it with him and signed off at your last visit?"
"Oh yeah," she said through clenched teeth.
"Here you go incase you want to know," He said as he placed a folder in her lap.
"You're serious on me naming them?" She asked staring at the folder.
"Of course," Owen said as the rest of the team walked in. "We don't feel like we really have a right to name them when we didn't carry them or deliver them."
"But you helped make them," She pointed out.
"That's true," Axel nodded, "which is why each baby will carry the biological father's last name but the first and middle you should decide."
"Can I see them?" She asked looking up at them.
"Of course," Sean smiled.
"I carry," Raven said as he removed the blanket.
"Be super careful, Raven," Sean instructed, "every movement will hurt her right now. It's best to just put her in the wheelchair so it causes less movement. You can push her."
"They are so tiny," She whispered as Raven pushed her into the NICU. "They are so tiny."
"They are," Erica smiled, "but they are healthy. I promise. Sean performed the tests himself and Dr. Roberts has planned the shifts of the nurses that will be caring for the babies until they are able to go home. Since there are no complications, they should only have to stay for a couple of months just to make sure they are continuing to do well outside of Mommy. I'll be here every single day and of course you will be here as well to do skin to skin as much as possible."
"We will be doing that as well," the men said making Willow smile.
"One more time?" she asked looking up at Raven who smiled.
"Of course, Kitten," he smiled as he took her to each of the babies again.
They stayed in there until Willow started to fall asleep again then North pushed her back into her room. "Sleep Darling, we will stay here tonight," Owen whispered as he held her hand and gently rubbed circles on the top of her hand.
When she woke next Erica was smiling as she sat beside her. "Some left to get more supplies for the house and the rest are with the babies. Gabe brought this by for you to use," she said as she handed Willow a pump. "I know you won't be able to supply enough for six babies but whatever you can make will help tremendously while they are here. Want me to help you?"
"Please?" Willow asked and Erica nodded then helped her get the pump set up. As Willow pumped, she frowned, "Momma?" Erica looked at her. "Will you tell me?"
"Okay," Erica smiled as she grabbed the folder. "You know they meant it when they said it doesn't matter to them, right?"
"I know," She nodded, "but I still want to know."
Just as she got done pumping, the whole group walked into the room. "Hey," they said as they smiled seeing her.
"I'll go take care of this," Erica smiled as she carried a piece of paper and milk in her hands as she left the room. The men looked at her confused then back to Willow.
"How are the babies?" Willow asked curiously.
"They are doing great," Sean smiled as he sat beside her. "They slept well and the colostrum you just made will be super for them. You can see them in just a bit. Right now after you eat, I want you to try and just stand."
As they entered the NICU the guys realized what was on the paper that Erica had in her hand.
"You named them," they said at the same time and she nodded. They walked around the NICU nursery and learned their children's names as Willow watched with a soft smile on her lips. "These are perfect," they said in unison as Erica wheeled her over to the babies.
