I woke up and sat straight up, pain. A lot of it... No, I'm not ready, physically I am, but to be a mother? Oh god.

"Braden," I said loudly

"Mmmmm. Five more minutes mom."

"No. Braden, I'm in labor." He sat upright in our bed.

"I'll get the hospital bag, and start up the car, I'll be back in three minutes." He ran to our closet where he got our duffel. Then he ran downstairs, into the garage and started up our car.

The contractions were getting worse, but they were still distanced out pretty well.

"I'm baaaaaaack!" He said in a creepy tone as he helped me out of the bed and down to the car. "I'm going to be a dad! Isn't this exciting." He squealed

"Yeah, you can tell me how exciting it is having two babies kicking the fuck out you."

He helped me into the car and we sped off to the hospital.

"Braden! Not so fast..." I said

He looked at me

"Sorry, Aud. I'm just reeeeally excited."

We didn't see it coming, the semi truck. We didn't see it in time to pull out of the way.

"Braden!" I screamed, but it was too late. Just as quickly as he placed his arm over my stomach, everything went dark.

Suddenly the room filled with a bright light,

"How far along is she?" A mans voice asked

"Her records say nine months,"

"What're the injuries?"

"It was a direct hit to her husbands side, he was dead on impact."

"What're the chances the fetus' survive?"

"Zero to none. She's already miscarried."

****

"Braden!" I screamed

"Aud, what is it?" He sat up in the bed.

"You're okay!"

"Of course, did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes,"

"What was it about?"

"I lost you and the tw- AGHHH." I could feel a deep pain in my body.

"Audrey, are you in labor?"

"Mmhmm." I whimpered "Get the bag and help me to the car."

Braden helped me out of bed and grabbed our black duffel bag. He helped me in the car and he drove while I called the hospital and made sure they were ready for us. We pulled into the Emergency spot and I was put in a wheel chair and wheeled into the hospital, Braden following closely behind.

"How far along are you?" A blond nurse asked eying Braden.

"Nine months, she was due yesterday," Braden said

I was wheeled into a private hospital room and Braden took advantage of the nearly empty room by taking a selfie with me and posting it on Instagram.

@Saywecanfly: Bout to give some birth with this pretty lady.

@wifi_lag: BEST CAPTION. EVER. Good luck! (I used my Instagram because I'm a sarcastic fuck and I comment on literally everything he posts because I'm weird)

After about an hour of tests to make sure I was in actual labor, my water broke. The contractions were growing closer and closer together and I was in fucking pain.

After three hours I was finally ready to push. The first push wasn't near enough, but it took most of my energy.

"PUUUUUSH." Doctor Fitzgerald yelled

"IM TRYING YOU MOTHERFUCKING WANKER." I screamed while squeezing the life out of Braden's hand.

"Sorry..." Braden muttered to the doctor.

"You! YOU DID THIS TO ME. FEEL THE BURN!" I yelled as I let out an enormous push while fracturing Braden's hand (sorry)

I heard a cry and I sighed in relief before I realized I still had to birth another child.

"What is it?" Braden asked

"It's a girl!" The nurse shouted

"Just a few more pushes and we'll have the twin out."

I pushed with all of the strength left in my body and a cry filled the air.

"It's a boy!" Doctor F. said as he cleaned him off and handed both of the babies to me.

Two days later

"Mrs. Barrie you're free to go, but we'd like to keep the twins for another week, they're quite remarkable."

"How?" Braden and I asked

"Well they seem to be completely healthy, but when Lila was born her heart rate was dangerously low. And then Adams was too. But when they were placed together their health did nothing, but improve. We'd like to run a few more tests with their genetics."

"Braden and I agree as long as they're not treated like guinea pigs, they stay on their sleeping schedule, AND they're not injected with anything you can't say three times fast." I said

"Deal."

****

"Braden."

"Yeah, Aud?"

"We need to paint the twins' rooms." I said

"Already handled." He smiled

"When?" I asked cocking an eyebrow.

"At the hospital I made a few phone calls. Our room was painted too."

I ran upstairs (finally I can run again!) to see our originally white bedroom, painted a seashore blue with a black ceiling.

"I love it!"

"Wait till you see the twins' rooms."

I walked into Lila's room to see her black crib in the center, her walls were a light shade of purple with a navy ceiling that had yellow stars painted on. On one of the walls her name was painted in bright yellow. It was the same with Adam exempt his walls were red.

Yaaaaaaaay she had the twins! I've been saying yay a lot...
