Destiny Faith Hope

Twenty

4 AM

Patrick and I were talking for a little bit, then Dr. Prescott comes into my room.

"Hello, Miley." She says, greeting me.

"Hi." I say with a smile.

"How are the contractions?"

"Better now that I have the epidural. I've walked and that's helped." I reply.

"Good, that's good." Then I spread my legs and she sticks her hand inside me. "You're about seven centimeters. I'll see you later." Then she gets up, throws her gloves away, and walks out of the door.

"Seven centimeters...wow. It's going a lot faster than last time, huh?"

"Not really, I've been in labor for sixteen hours." I reply.

"Well you are progressing a lot faster. I guess."

"I just want these babies out of me." I whine.

"I understand, sort of. I get that you're in pain, babe, but you gotta keep going. You're almost there, just a few more hours, hopefully."

"I'm going to kill you." I say, glaring at him.

"What why?" He says, looking scared.

"Cause...you did this to me." I reply.

"What? It takes two to make a baby you know." Just then, Cheyne and Destiny walk in.

"Destiny, it's four in the morning, why are you here and not sleeping in your bed?" I ask my daughter, as she walks up to my hospital bed.

"I couldn't sleep! Are the babies here yet?" She answers.

"Sorry, sweetie. No babies yet. Hopefully soon though."

"When mommy?"

"I don't know...like I said earlier they could take a few more hours. Hopefully soon, Destiny."

"We should let mommy rest, you saw her, it's time for you to get some rest now. Okay?" Cheyne says to Destiny.

"Oh, okay." Then he takes her hand and they walk out of the room.

8 AM

The contractions were getting worse-- I kept grabbing Patrick's hand, and he kept reassuring me that I could and would get through this. I didn't need a doctor to tell me how far along I was. I knew it was time to push-- I could practically feel one of them coming out of me. When Dr. Prescott came in I was very happy to see her. She sat down, put on her gloves, and stuck her hand up inside me once more.

"Well Miley, I can feel the baby's head. It's time to push."

"Thank goodness." I say, relieved. Then Patrick held one of my legs back, and a nurse held my other leg back.

"Okay, Miley. I'm going to say push and I want you to push your hardest until I am at ten, okay?" Then I nod. "Okay, Miley, push." Then I held my chin on my chest and pushed as hard as I could. I kept pushing until the doctor said ten, then I threw my head on my pillow and took a deep breath.

"You can do it, Miley. I know you can-" Patrick says, but I cut him off.

"Shut the hell up asshole!" I respond.

"Push Miley." Then I once again put my neck on my chest and push my hardest. I forgot how much this hurt-- it's been a while since I gave birth to Destiny Faith. When she got to ten, I rested some more. "Push Miley, I can see the head." Then Patrick put my leg down as I started pushing again, and went to look.

"Miley, this is incredible." He says in awe.

"Get up here asshole and hold my leg back!" Then she said ten again, and I rested. "How does it look?" I ask Patrick, then he goes over and looks at my vagina again, and looks at me with tears in his eyes.

"It's incredible, Miley. You're doing such a great job. I can't believe I get to experience this."

"Push, Miley." Then he goes back up by my head and holds my leg back. "Patrick, if you want and if it's okay with Miley, you can watch this." Then he looks at me and I nod, and he goes back over to my vagina. I push my hardest, once again. She says ten, and I throw my head on my pillow.

"I'm going to kill you." I say to Patrick. "You son of a bitch you did this to me, I'm going to murder you." Then she says push once more, and I push again.

"Don't worry, Patrick. She's just in pain. She'll calm down once the babies are born." She says while I'm pushing. "Come on Miley, you're almost there, he's almost out. Push push push." Then I push again, and once she hits ten, I feel a huge relief. And then cries fill the room.

"He's beautiful, Miley." Patrick says.

"Patrick, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" He nods, and she hands him scissors, and he cuts the cord. She hold up the baby so I can see him before handing him to a nurse.

"Wait where are they taking him?" I ask, worried.

"Don't worry babe, they're just cleaning him off." He replies.

"I'll let you rest until baby number two is ready." Dr. Prescott says.

"Ugh. Can't I just keep this one inside of me? That was so much work." I say, then Patrick laughs, and I shoot him a glare. His smile soon fades, when he realizes I wasn't joking.

Then she sticks her hand inside me, and let's me know it's time to push again.

After a lot of screaming, pushing, and yelling at Patrick, cries fill the room once more. I am practically bawling my eyes out, after Patrick cuts the cord, and I see the other baby boy. When they were all cleaned off, Patrick was holding baby number two, and I was holding baby number one. Then I see Destiny, Cheyne, Noah, my mom, and my dad walk through the door. Destiny quickly runs up to me, gasps, and looks at me in awe.

"Are these my brothers?" She asks.

"Yeah. They are. Meet Asher Lucas Jake Cyrus." I say, nodding to baby number one. "And Luis Andrew Dylan Cyrus." Then I nod to baby number two in Patrick's arms.

"They're so cute!" Noah says.

"They're beautiful." My mom says, and Cheyne and my dad nod with smiles on their faces.

"We should leave Miley to rest." My dad says. Then everyone said their goodbyes before leaving.

"Little Asher Lucas Jake and Luis Andrew Dylan Cyrus..." Patrick says.

Then Dr. Prescott walks in.

"Hi Miley. How are you feeling?" She says as she sits down and puts her gloves on. I give Patrick Asher, so I can get in a good position in the bed. I spread my legs apart, and she looked at my vagina. "Looks like you tore a little bit."

"What does that mean?" I ask.

"Your vagina ripped a little. It's pretty common with twins. I'll have to stitch you up." Then she leaves for a minute, and comes back into the room.

"Will it hurt?" I ask, afraid of more pain.

"I'll give you a numbing shot." She replies.

"Does it go in my back?"

"No, it'll go into your vagina." Then my eyes get big. What?

"Come again?" I ask worried. Then I spread my legs again, and she puts on more gloves.

"Don't worry. It's just one shot, it won't even hurt all that much. It'll be over before you know it." Then I feel her stick the needle in my vagina, and she starts to stitch me up. When she's finished she takes off her gloves, and I carefully put my legs down. "There. Now you'll want to be careful, don't get up and move a lot the first day. It'll get better each day but the first day is usually the worst." Then she gets up, and leaves.

"Ouch, that looked like it hurt." Patrick says.

"Mhm. Can I have Luis now?" I ask. He nods, and then he gives me Luis. "Hi little baby Luis. I'm your mommy." I say, and Patrick sits down next to me so I could see them both at the same time.

"They look identical." He says. "I wonder if they have your bright blue eyes." Just then, as if on que, they both open their eyes. But I freeze when I see their eyes...they have Nick's eyes.
