Receptionist: Sir lower your voice.

Zac: Fuck that, I don't know what type of games you playing but I'm not the one to be fuck with, especially the mood I've been in lately.

In Fatima's hospital room.

Zac: Ti baby you can't do this to me. I miss you, Our daughter misses you. And you gotta wake up so that you can meet our beautiful baby boy. I can't live life without you, so please baby wake up.

Anita: She will son. One thing about Ti, is that she's strong. But son you have a beautiful baby girl and son who needs you more than ever right now. Ti is going to be okay. She's going to wake up. But you have to put your focus towards them babies right now.

Zac: I hear you ma, I do. But I hate seeing her like this. It breaks my heart that she's going through this right now. I can't help but blame myself.

Anita: Don't do that, this is not your fault. Sometimes things happen in life that are out of our control. And this happen to be one of them.

Zac: I know mama but-

Anita: No buts. Son have you eaten or even slept?

Zac: No ma'am I haven't, I can't. I just need her to wake up.

Anita: Listen let's go to the house, you get you a bath, something to eat and spend some time with the babies and I promise will bring you back up here.

Zac: I guess I can do that.

They leave out the room.

They talked to her doctor.

Zac: Hey Dr. Stevens, we're about to run to the house for a couple hours. Can you please call me if anything happens or changes.

Dr.Stevens: Yes I can.

Zac: Thank you.

They left and went to the house.

Andi&Aisha: Hey bro. How is she doing?

Zac: Nothing has changed.

Andi: And how are you?

Zac: I've had better days. But I gotta be strong for my wife and babies.

Aisha: Bro listen to me she's going to be okay. Ti  may be stubborn but she's strong, so she will wake up.

Zac: I just want to spend some alone time with my babies.

Andi: You can do that just call us if you need anything.

Zac: Okay sis. And thank y'all so much.

Aisha: You're welcome bro.

Andi: See you later son.

Zac: okay ma. And thank you also.

They all left

Zac: Hey daddy babies. I want you both to know that mommy is sick right now, but she's going to be okay, she's going to come back to us healthy and strong. So you gotta be good for daddy while mommy is away. She loves you both so very much, and it's not a day goes by that she'll ever stop loving either of you. That goes for daddy too. Nothing in this world can ever take away nor make me stop loving you. You both are our heartbeats, You're our life. You mommy is so strong, she's a fighter, a warrior, and she's going to make it through this difficult time. We love you both. And your going to always be our babies for as long as we both live. Now let's get you fed and changed.

Zac Bathe and fed them, then put them down for a nap. Then he cleaned the house and went and got a shower afterwards. He laid down and took a nap while the babies were sleeping. Well it didn't last long because they both were back up, crying. So he laid them down on Fatima's side of the bed so that they could feel her presence. They eventually went back to sleep.
