Travis's Pov:
"She'll be okay, don't worry" The nurses said but all I could think about was the opposite. What if she wasn't okay? What if our babies weren't okay? Or. "What if I had to choose between them and her? No, no that wouldn't happen.
"Sir, we're going to need you to step out for now" The doctor told me but I shook my head. No, I won't leave my Taylor alone.
"I know you don't want to but it's the best thing to do for now. We'll call you when she's up"
I shook my head but they led me to the door anyway. I stepped outside and found a chair next to the room. I stood up and walked into a spare restroom to take off the scrubs I had on over my clothes.
I looked in the mirror and sighed to myself. I had to be strong for Tay and for our babies. They needed me right now, so I wasn't going to sit here and wallow myself in hurt. I would be strong for them.
Holding in the tears that threatened to fall, I looked up at the ceiling and sent a prayer to whoever was up there listening to me to keep my babies safe. And in babies I meant my kids and my girlfriend.
I walked out of the restroom when I got a call from Andrea.
"Hello" My voice croaked out.
"Travis! Where are you son? They just let me know that we can't be in with Taylor right now, what happened?" Andrea's worried voice spoke through the phone.
"I'll meet you at the waiting room and explain" I said and hung up. I sighed, wiping a lone tear from my eyes and made my way down to the waiting area.
Andrea spotted me and walked over with Scott by her side. She enveloped me in a huge hug and it took everything in me to not cry at the moment.
"How are they?" She asked, obvious worry latched on her face. I sighed, my mind wandering back to a few moments ago.
"Well I don't if she told you she was having pain recently?" I started and they both nodded. "Okay well we thought it was normal but it was just her contractions getting started. We couldn't do a natural birth because they said that one of the babies was at risk of not making it if they weren't out soon, so she had an emergency c-section. She passed out as soon as they were both delivered and till now I don't know what else they're doing, they just told me to get out" My voice trembled, hot tears threatening to leak.
"Oh sweetie. Oh my god. Did they tell you anything else??" Andrea asked but I shook my head. I wish I had more information, I wish it was certain that they would live. But no matter how many times they assured me they would be okay, there was still the possibility they wouldn't. And that thought terrified me.
"They put the babies on ventilators straight away, I'm pretty sure our baby girl is the one who was having trouble in the womb." I quavered, and they nodded along. Andrea was already crying and I could see Scott was upset, but trying to stay strong for Andrea.
We sat down on the chairs closest to the hallway that led to Taylor. Andrea was in Scott's arms and I zoned out while I thought about so many different possibilities. I don't know what I would have to do if they made us choose between a twin. That would be like a stab on the back, salt to the wound type of situation. That would crush Taylor, and the guilt she would have to live with would haunt her forever.
Now if they made me choose between them and Taylor. I feel horrible for saying this, but I would choose Taylor. And it's not because I don't love my babies, on the contrary. I wouldn't want to raise them without their mother. They need their mother, every baby needs their mother. And I wouldn't bare to lose her. That would kill me forever.
"Here for Taylor Swift?" A nurse called out and I stood up right away. "Here" Andrea and Scott stood up as well.
"Is she okay? Are the babies okay?" I asked as she led us to Taylor's room. "They are all stable. Taylor was just very exhausted so she passed out, but she's awake now. The babies are on ventilators in the NICU to help them breathe. Taylor already knows this but the Doctor will explain everything else when we get to her" Sne said and I nodded. We walked for another minute before we made it to Taylor's room.
She looked so weak and I could tell that she had just finished crying. My eyes burned with tears looking at her, god I wished this wasn't happening right now. She looked up when she heard the door open and her red shot eyes caught me and she began to cry.
"Trav" She whimpered and I rushed to her side. "I'm sorry Travis" She sobbed and I shook my head. The last thing I wanted was for her to feel like this was her fault. It was far from her fault, she couldn't control this.
"No, don't you dare apologize. This isn't your fault Tay, it's no one's fault. This isn't something we can control, you understand?" I spoke and she hesitantly nodded. God, how do I take this pain away from her.
"They were just probably ready to meet you already. They knew they would get the best mama" I smiled to lighten the mood and it seemed to work when I saw a soft smile break through her lips. Her gaze shifted behind me and she smiled as her mom came closer to us.
"Hi mom" She spoke out and her mother smiled. "Oh honey, are you feeling okay?" She asked. Taylor nodded as her mom wiped her eyes for her. Scott came close to them as well and gave Taylor a kiss on the forehead.
"Okay so we would like to talk to you Miss. Swift" The doctor spoke, breaking the family from their sweet moment. We gave our attention to her as she began explaining everything.
"So, first of all, are you feeling okay?" She asked Taylor, to which she nodded. "Okay. So the babies were born at 25 weeks correct?" We nodded in confirmation and she nodded back in understanding. "Okay so, this is an age that is very hard to manage. They still haven't fully developed everything they need to keep them going so we have established them in the NICU. The little girl was born 2 pounds, way smaller than the little boy and we also noticed that she most likely will have some heart problems. We still need to test them to make sure but she was definitely breathing way slower than her brother so we have prioritized her more. Baby boy is a little over three pounds which is better than his sister and we have came to the conclusion that he was mostly taking all the nutrients that she also needed, so she didn't have enough." The doctor spoke and I let that sink in. Babygirl was having more trouble than babyboy. They would prioritize her over him.
"We don't know exactly how long we will keep them here for, but it will be quite a while. They are really small so they still have a lot to grow."
Taylor nodded along, crying silently at the words the doctor spoke.
"I'm going to be honest with you, when I heard that they were only 25 weeks old, I thought they wouldn't make it, especially being twins. But they seemed to be some fighters because they both cried a few minutes after you fell asleep" She smiled and this time Taylor didn't hide her sob. I hugged her as best as I could, letting out a few tears but this time of happiness.
"We will do everything to keep them okay. I promise you they will be okay" She assured and we nodded.
I looked at Taylor as she sobbed, all emotions taking over her. She smiled through her tears and gave me a small kiss.
"I love you so much. You are so strong, baby" I told her which seemed to tick her off even more.
"I love you too. Thank you"
I rested my forehead on hers and thanked god that our babies would be okay.
They will be okay.
