Two hours later...
Emma POV
I can't believe Daryl is acting so childish. He was always happy when I told him that I was pregnant with the others and this one now he wants me to get rid of them. I run a hand over my rounded belly.
"Kids I don't care that daddy doesn't want you, mommy loves you so much. I'm not going anywhere, daddy thinks I am but I'm not."
I get dressed in my scrubs, pick up the kids, and take them to Jacob's. I knock on the door.
"Hey sis what's happening?"
"Oh, where to start? I'm pregnant, and my dickhead of a husband is being an asshole and has walked out into the forest and hasn't come back, I have to go to work, can you look after the kids. I finish in six hours I'll come back and pick them up."
"Whoa take a breath, honey. You're pregnant?"
"Yeah, I am I'm having twins."
"What is Daryl doing that is making him such a dickhead?"
"He wants me to terminate them. I can't do that Jacob, I was never meant to have any more babies it means these kids are special. I don't understand how he could want his kids terminated?"
"Well, I kinda get him sis you have nearly died twice having children of course he is going to be scared. I was scared when Denise was pregnant that something might happen to her."
"And I'm not I need him. I know I'm not going to die Jacob and the fact you think that is horrible. These babies aren't going to kill me, in the end, I'm going to have two beautiful children who I already love more than life itself. I suppose if I had to I would die for any of my kids."
"And I know you would. And I would die for Jackson as well, I get that. Okay sis I will look after these cute kids."
"Oh Merlynn is in class could you pick her up as well? I'll be back at nine. Kids be good for mommy. Uncle Jacob will look after you. Thank you Jacob for this. Say hello to Spencer for me."
"No probs sis. Have a good night see you later."
I walk to the clinic and start my shift.
Daryl POV
Three hours later...
I'm such an idiot. Wondering around the forest. Why can't I just say that I'm scared of losing Emma I've lost so many people I love and I don't know if I could live losing Emma, I would survive I'd have to for the kids but I'd never find another woman like her.
"Daryl, what do you think you are doing?" I turn around and am shocked by who it is.
"Carol?"
"Yeah, it's me. What are you doing out here?"
"Thinking or trying to."
"What about?"
"Emma she's pregnant and she's gonna die."
"How do you know that honey? There are no guarantees, hell I didn't think I'd die, but things happen."
"I don't want to lose her."
"Have you thought that maybe she won't die?"
"She could die. That's what the docs said could happen."
"Honey I know you're scared and that's something I never expected to see Daryl scared. But Emma needs you, honey. She needs you there. Keep this up and she will kick you out, is that what you want?"
