3 Months Later
Nasir's Pov
"N-Nasir" I heard my name being whispered as someone shook me out of my sleep. Turning over I saw Mo staring at me with tears in her eyes "Wha-"
"Something's wrong!!" she cried out cutting me off as she clutched her belly causing me to scramble off the bed and rush over to her side.
"What's wrong Mo?" I asked panicked
"It hurts!!" she continued crying and I began helping off the bed.
"Oh God" I paused as I saw the amount of blood left on the bed from where she was "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital" I told her as I lifted her in my arms and rushed to the car. I could feel my heart racing in my chest as she cried in the passenger seat beside me as I raced to the hospital.
Pulling up outside the building I ran over to her side and lifted her out ignoring the blood that was on the seat and now soaking my clothes "Help!! I need help" I shouted as two nurses rushed over to me "I don't know what's wrong, she woke up in pain and there is s-so much blood" I told the nurse.
"Nasir!! Please don't leave me alone!!" Mo cried out gripping my hand as they placed her on the gurney and began taking her away.
"I'm right here baby, I'm right here" I reassured her as I felt her grip began to loosen.
"Her pulse is getting weaker; she's going into shock!! Get her to the OR immediately!!"
"What's happening to her?!!" I asked frantically, as the rushed into the room.
"I'm sorry sir this is as far as you go, I promise we'll take care of her" the nurse reassured stopping me before she shut the door.
"God, what is happening?" I asked as I slid down on the floor placing my head in my hands before pulling out my phone to let everyone know what was happening.
20 minutes later
"Oh my God, Nasir!! Is she ok, is the baby ok?!!" mom asked as she came up to me with Ryah and Mar.
"I'm still waiting on the doctors, no one has said shit since they took her and the nurses out her can't seem to answer my question!" I stated beginning to get frustrated.
"Family for Mrs. King?"
"Yes?" I answered standing quickly "How is she doing?"
"Your wife suffered from a placental abruption, this occurs when the placenta separates from the inner wall of the uterus and is dangerous for both the mother and baby"
"Oh my God" I heard Ryah whisper behind me as the doctor continued.
"She's being prepped for a c-section, it's the safest option at this point. I can assure you I'll do everything to make sure they both are safe" she stated giving me a pat on my shoulder before walking away leaving me there to process the information.
"Nasir, I don't know how much me saying this will help you feel at ease, but Dr. Singh is really good, and she definitely cares about her patients" Mar stated, and I nodded my head, all we could do now is pray.
"Ryah!!" a voice called out and we turned to see Cairo rushing over to us "how is she doing?" he asked giving me a brief nod as he pulled his sister into his arms as she broke down in tears.
"They're taking her into surgery now" I told him, and he nodded guiding Ma'ryah to a chair.
1 hour later
"Mr. King" Dr. Singh approached us with a soft smile on her face and I felt like all my worries went away "the surgery was successful, your wife and babies are doing ok, we'll just need to keep them here for 3 days for monitoring".
"Thank you so much!!" I told her with tears in my eyes.
"No problem, just doing my job. You can come see them now one at a time please, she may be a bit unresponsive due to the anesthesia".
"Ok" I nodded as I followed her.
Entering the room, I saw Mo laying on the bed looking peaceful, she didn't look like she was in pain like earlier. Walking over to the bed, I placed a kiss on her forehead as her eyes fluttered open.
"Nasir?" she whispered with outstretched hands "the baby?"
"I'm here love, and the babies are fine"
"Babies?"
"Yea" I chuckled "Looks like we had a surprise waiting for us" I smiled kissing her hand as her eyes began to shut "Get some rest baby, I'll be here when you wake up. Getting up from the bed, I faced them as they slept peacefully just like their mother.
"What are you going to name them?" Dr. Singh asked with a smile coming to my side.
"We were between names incase it was a boy or girl, but I guess both will be useful" I smiled "This little guy will be Micah Amari King, and this little princess will be Mylah Amaris King".
"Those are so beautiful, just like them. Congratulations Mr. King" she stated, and I beamed looking down at them.
