MELODY'D P.O.V:

As I woke up in a dress white and fluffy, the memories from the night before flooded back to my sore head.

Then I realized why I had woken up when the knocking on the door grew louder and faster. I pushed myself out of bed and saw that everybody was still asleep, including the children! I wobbled my way over to the door where someone was still knocking.  I threw the door open and saw a man around my age. In his mid-twenties with black hair and tan skin with sparkling green eyes.

"I need all the males in this house above the age of ten please!" He requested in an argent yet soothing voice. I nodded feeling compelled to help him.  I walked back to the shared bed room and woke up Nate, Mark, Joey and Drake and sent them to the door looking groggy.

The five of them spoke in low urgent tones and then the four boys in the house nodded in agreement and sent the boys off.  I went to the kitchen where I proceeded to fry bacon and eggs and toast bread for everybody.  Then I made pancakes and set it all on the table.  By the time I was done every body was awake and in the living room watching the weather reporter.  Her bright attitude was annoying me! I announced breakfast everybody jumped up rushing to the table.

As we wiped our faces of the remains of the syrup and bacon bits, Joey cleared his throat demanding our attention. "Um... The man at the door earlier." He said looking at me but addressing everybody who didn't know what the man was here for. "Needs able bodied men to go out of station to Turkey. There is a large war that has just broken out and we are all needed to go help out!"

All the girls gasped and whispered to each other and then Sarah spoke up, "W-w-w-when do you all leave?" She asked stuttering as she tried not to cry as Ritu looked up from her mother to her father and back again confused by their words. 

All of a sudden my stomach began to ache and I doubled over on pain.   Every body was staring at me but I shook my head. "I'm fine really I am!" They all shrugged and continued there conversation. 

"We are leaving in about four hours."  Said Mark looking sheepish.  

My heart sank and we all simultaneously got up and walked into the bed room and began to help the men pack. 

************

Tears fell as we all said good bye to out husband and them to us.  I kissed Drake,  Sarah kissed Mark, Trisha kissed Joey and Rachel was kissed on the cheek by Nate.  We stood at the sides of the two cars corresponding with out loved ones.   We waved as Drake yelled out the window, "We should be back in about four weeks. We love you all bye!" As the tears fell faster down my cheeks a pain shot through my abdomen again causing me to fall to the ground yelping. 

Drake was already far enough down the street that he couldn't see this happen.  I was glad yet scared by the though that he hadn't seen this happen to me yet scared to go through it alone. "Hey girls!" Sarah called back the girls that had been heading back into the house. "Melody just went into labor! HELP." She yelled to them.

I was shaking as we got in the limo and were driven to the hospital.  When we got there and I was helped into a wheel chair and rushed to a room.  A female nurse came in and told me that I would give birth I a few hours and should get comfortable. It was around 5 pm at the moment and I knew I would be there for a while.  Trisha offered to go back to the house and get the bags. We all agreed to let her go and Sarah offered to go with her also.

They left and I texted Drake

"Hey honey I know you just left but we have a baby coming in a few hours! I will keep in touch with you. Please text me back when you get this. I miss you already! What were the names to be for the baby's again? Wasn't one Tyler for a boy and Hannah for a girl? If you have any other ideas and we need middle names. Okay I got to go miss you bye!"
