Scarlett's Marine

Chapter #19
Scarlett’s POV
A few hours before the Twins are born. “I can’t do it without Louri. They will have to just stay in Ah!” I yell as another contraction hits. “She’d be here if she could, you know, maybe she’ll call.” Mom says. “I DON’T WANT HER TO CALL, I WANT HER HERE!!!” I yell at my Mom. “It otay Mommy you have me.” Devon says sweetly. “I know Bubs I just miss your Mama.” I tell him. “I miss her too.” He says and if I could hold him I would but I can’t due to the position I’m in so Mom pulls him into her lap when the door bursts open. Louri! You’re here!” I yell, shocked. “I’m here, I have a seven day pass.” She says. “How?” I ask. “Papa.” She says. “So room 407 huh you are just missing one seven.” She laughs. “I didn’t notice that. Arg!!” I yell as a contraction hits. “Hey it’s ok I’m here. You can do this, Baby.” She tells me. “Ok Mrs. Johansson looks like these two are ready to come into the world. It’s time to start pushing.” The doctor says. After an hour and thirty five minutes of pushing the first of the twins Louisa is born and taken away to get cleaned up. After another hour the second twin Maya is born. “They are beautiful.” She coos as she holds one in each arm. “Maya has my blue eyes and Louisa has your green eyes.” She tells me. “Here hand them to me and get Devon so he can meet his sisters before everyone else.” I say holding out my arms. “You did amazing Baby I’m proud of you.” She says leaving a tender kiss on my lips. After a few minutes she comes back in with Devon holding her hand. “Hey Buddy, meet your sisters Maya and Louisa.” I say as Louri lifts him onto the bed. “She has Mama’s eyes!” He yells pointing to Maya. “Yes she does but inside voices ok Bubs.” I say. “Sorry. Can I hold them?” He asks. “Yeah I’ll help you. Who do you want to hold first?” Louri asks, pulling her chair forward. “Maya.” He says. “Ok follow my lead ok.” Louri instructs Maya. “Now hold up her head and hold her with both arms just like that. Good job son.” Louri says with her hands under Devon’s just in case. “She’s so small.” He says. “She’s a baby little Marine.” Louri says. “Here Mommy you can have her.” He says and Louri helps hand her back over. “Was I this small?” He asks. “You, were do you want to see a picture?” Louri asks and he nods and she pulls out her phone and scrolls down. “Here this is you the day you were born.” She says. “Who is that?” He asks not seeing Louri’s face in the picture. “That’s your Mama Bubs, see her ring.” I say. “Oh.” He says. “Can I get some sleep?” I ask. “Of course these two have a lot of people waiting to meet them.” Louri says.taking the twins kissing me on the head and Devon does the same, making me smile.

Louri’s POV
“Ok Devon do you want to introduce your sisters?” I ask him. “HEY!” He yells and everyone’s heads snap in our direction. Devon stands on a chair so everyone can see him. It's adorable. “This is my sister Maya and my sister Louisa. I am the big brother.” He says proudly. “How’s Scarlett?” Melanie asks. “Sleeping. Something I need too if I’m honest.” I say. “Ok well give them here and go take a nap.” Melanie says. “Thank you. Hey Devon, I'm going to take a nap. I'm pretty tired. Will you stay with your sisters?” I ask. “Yes Mama.” He says and I give him a hug which he returns and I head back into Scarlett’s room. “Hey wait, where are the kids?” Scarlett panics. “With your Mom right out there. I’m just tired. I was too excited to sleep properly on the plane.” I say sitting in the chair next to her bed. “What are you doing?” She asks. “I’m going to take a nap.” I state. “Then do what you did when Devon was born and get your ass in the bed and cuddle me.” She says, making me smile and get up and get in the bed laying down and Scarlett practically lays on top of me. “Devon is already such a great big brother.” Scarlett says into my neck. “Yeah I feel kinda bad for any boys or girls those two bring home in the future.” I chuckle. “They were just born, we have plenty of time to worry about that.” She says snuggling impossibly closer and we drift off to sleep. I wake up to my phone ringing and it’s Papa.
“Hey.” I whisper.
“Did you make it in time?” He asks.
“I did. Thank you for this.” I tell him.
“Well I have some more good news for you.” He says.
“What is it?” I ask.
“You aren’t going to need that pass anymore. The 4077th got what they needed to done. Your deployment is over.” He says.
“THAT’S AMAZING!!” I yell sitting up earning a glare from Scarlett for waking her. “Sorry Baby. Here.” I say handing her the phone.
“This better be damn important for Louri to wake me up.” She grumbles. Then her face lights up. “Thank you, we'll see you soon.” She says with a smile before hanging up the phone. “You don’t have to go back and the unit will be stopping in New York to meet the twins. Mildred  is already on her way from L.A.” Scarlett smiles. “Perks of having a fantastic unit.” I say. “Let’s go back to sleep.” She says. “I’ve got to set up a nursery here in the New York house.” I say as I begin to get up but she stops me. “Hunter and Adrian already did, it’s right next to Devon’s room.” She tells me. “Oh thank god. I think I stressed out about not being able to have that done more than how you’d react when you found out I got shot.” I sigh. “YOU GOT SHOT!!” She yells. “It’s just a graze.” I say. “Is that why you haven’t taken off the top of your fatigues?” She asks. “Yeah.” I say. “Show me.” She says and I take my top off leaving my t-shirt on. “See it’s not that bad I got the stitches out last week.” I tell her as she examines the fresh scar. “Why didn’t you tell me?” She asks, her voice breaking. “You were pregnant and that already puts stress on your body. I didn't want to add anymore. I’m sorry, please don’t cry.” I say pulling her back in my arms. “You are an idiot.” She says. “I’m your idiot.” I reply. “That you are.” She says. “And hey now with my promotion I don’t have yearly deployments I will still be in charge of the 4077th but I can oversee them from the state side and maybe even help you with your skin care line.” I tell her. “67.” She says. “What?” I ask. “Scar number 67.” She says. “And hopefully the last.” I tell her.
