Chapter 82
Eleven o'clock Mitchell came in Amelia's room. He looked at her laying there and felt bad she got hurt because of that conniving bitch. "Ames you awake?" When she didn't answer he decided to talk to her. "Ames you were right earlier, I do know I have been a nightmare for you. I let a con artist into my life, and she destroyed everything. I was so blind, how is it I didn't know what she was doing. Can you believe she stole over half a million from me and I didn't even know it. She made me doubt you, she knew I was insecure after Jacalin, she pushed every button to make me crazy. The idiot I was, I let her push them. I still feel that insecure, when you ran away it got worse. The reason it got worse was because I love you so much and was so afraid I would lose you. I was so afraid I pushed you out of my life and I let that wolf stay. It was easier to deal with her because I never had those feelings for her. I don't know how I am going to make it up to you, but I promise I am. I am going to change and be a better man. I even signed up for anger management classes. I am serious I would do anything to keep you and my kids." Mitchell rested his head on her good hand, then he lifted it and kissed it. Amelia opened her eyes to see him resting his head on her stomach. She heard every word, and it moved her heart. When he lifted his head, she closed her eyes.
Early the next morning Amelia was woken up by the nurse. "You have company." All three kids stood by her bed. She looked around the room and he was gone.
I went to do their vitals. They said no not until there mum was there."
Amelia yawns and stretches her muscles. "I will go first then each one of you can take your turn."
"Do I have to have a needle?" You could see Conny didn't like that idea.
"The nurse gives them a warm smile. You don't need needles, I have to check your temperature, your pulse and your oxygen level. Watch I am going to do your mom's first."
They watched really close as she put the thing on her finger. Then watched her put the other thing under her tongue. "That didn't look hard." Evan went first.
"All done, did it hurt?"
Not really it did squeeze my arm a little tight."
Girls you want to go next?"
"If he can do it, I can do it." Olivia went first then Conny.
"You did very well if you don't climb on mommy, you can stay and visit her."
The kids sat in the two chairs. "Are you okay, you look scary with all that stuff."
"It isn't scary." Amelia reassures them. "This here tells us the baby is doing good. If you listen, you can hear their heart beats. This is to give me medicine, so they don't have to give me a lot of needles. This one hear is to make sure my heart is beating. They aren't hurting me they make sure I am okay."
Conny gets up. "Can I hear the babies' heartbeat?"
"See the knob turn it and you will hear them." The two heart beats start to beat in the room.
"That is my brother." Evan says confidently he is not going to be the only boy in the family.
"I don't know yet. It could be one boy and one girl, two girls or two boys. We're going to have to wait for a while before we can tell."
Collin was at the door when he heard her explaining things to the kids. "I think Evan wants two boys."
"Uncle Collin your up, the nurse brought us in to see mum and let you sleep. Don't you want us to have two boys. That will make it even three boys and three girls."
"No, it won't Evan." Amelia says. "Uncle Collin is going to live with us if you are okay with it."
"The kids run over and hug him. "You can live with us forever."
"I am glad you want me, because I want you guys. If you three can be good, I will go out and get some breakfast for us."
"Why don't we order it and have them deliver it." The food didn't take long to get there.
As they sat eating Max and a lady came in. "Hi, everyone, I want you to meet my friend Bridget."
Hello, Max has told me so much about all of you. It is nice to finally meet you in person."
"Uncle Max told us what a nice person you are. I am looking forward to getting to know you better."
Max introduced the kids and Collin. "I told Bridget that you are going to need some help. She is a good nurse and loves kids.
"I don't want to be a burden but with my arm and now needing to rest more for a little longer I could use some help."
"I can help you and the kids. It would be fun."
"You would have to be paid for your time. I don't want to argue about it."
"We can talk about it when you get home. For now, I am going to help your uncle with the kids."
The door opened and in came Mitchell holding three corgis. "I brought you your little buddies." The kids ran over to him and took their puppies.
Olivia looked at Twinkles. "Mum this isn't twinkles where is she? I want twinkles."
"Mitchell put Olivia on the bed." Once she was sitting there all glassy eyed Amelia pulled her in closer to her. "When the car hit us, your puppy got squeezed too tight, it hurt her. The doctors are trying to help her. I don't lie to you. They are not sure if she is going to make it or not. The vet is working hard to save her but we weren't sure they can. So instead of you not getting twinkle toes when your brother and sister got their puppies, da got you one to hold onto until twinkle toes got better. If she doesn't get better, then you still have one to hold onto."
"Is twinkle toes going to die for sure?"
"We are hoping for the best, the vet said they are trying. When I get out of here, I will go to the vet with you and check on her. While we wait to find out you have this little girl. Can't you love her and give her a name."
Olivia didn't know how she felt. "I guess."
"The lady said she was very lonely and scared; you are the best person to make her happy. I know my Olivia has such a big heart. Who else would take in a sick animal and love it healthy. I hope you can give this puppy your magic and make her happy."
"She was lonely and scared." Olivia stared at the puppy and pet her feeling bad for her.
"Her brothers and sisters were all gone, and she was all by herself."
"If she needs me, I can help her and love her. If twinkle toes gets better can she still come home?"
"She is your puppy. How could she not come home to the one person that loves her the most."
Mitchell picked her up with the puppy. "What are you going to name her?"
"She is quiet and shy. I will call her."
Evan cut her off. "Call her heaven it is calm and peaceful."
"No heaven is where you go when you die. I want to call her happy. She is going to be happy living with us." Olivia says as she giggles when the puppy starts licking her.
"I told you she needed your magical love look at how she is licking you. She didn't lick anyone else."
"Time to take you guys home. Take your puppies and come with your grandpa and Bridget."
The room got quiet leaving only Mitchell and Collin staring at Amelia. "Mitchell, don't you have to work today?"
"I can go in late. I wanted to spend some time with you."
"I guess it is nice to be the boss."
