The New Girls

Chapter 23

It's February third and I was already a week late. I guess I always knew my kids would be late because I was and my brother was but I didn't know how uncomfortable it got. Having Jeremy as my doctor was even worse because he refused to induce labor. He insisted on letting the pregnancy take it's natural course. I could barely move from bed and yet I was totally uncomfortable there. I was a total mess and Nick was being so sweet about it. He would bring me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He even went out and bought a tv, a dvd player, and a whole bunch of my favorite movies. Olivia would come and sit with me while I watched movies all day long but of course that didn't last very long.

"Jeremy!" I called.

He came upstairs in just a minute.

"Yes?" He inquired.

"Please induce, I don't know how much longer I can take this." I pleaded.

"Sorry Carter but I am not going to induce. They will come when they are ready." Jeremy responded.

"Fine, at least tell me if there is anything happening on the Mark front." I said.

"Okay." Jeremy replied sitting on the bed by my feet. "Clay and Nick have been tracking him since we found out what he wants. I promise you though we will find him and no one is getting near you or the twins." He continued.

"Thank you Jeremy but to be honest I just really want to get out of this bed." I complained.

"Come on. We can go for a short walk." He offered holding his hands out to help me up.

I slowly rolled off the bed and came to me feet. Jeremy helped me walk being that I was actually waddling.

"I feel so old." I griped.

We walked around a I got stuck in bed again.

February tenth meaning that I was two weeks late. I didn't think it could be worse than last week but I was wrong. I couldn't stand laying in my bed but it was too uncomfortable to walk around. Nick was helping me with exercises to induce labor naturally. Of course though none of them worked.

"Babe, are you okay?" Nick asked me as we walked around the house.

"I hate being late. To be honest I just want these kids to come already I want to be a mom not a pregnant lady." I answered.

"I know." Nick said soothingly.

We continued walking around but nothing happened. Olivia and Clay were preparing for their own baby to come so I didn't really have them. Jeremy and Elena tried to be supportive but I mostly got aggravated. Cara and Logan needed to come and they needed to come now.

Morning of February the seventh I was more restless than ever. Today would mark three weeks that the twins were late. Olivia and Clay still couldn't be there for me because they expected their own baby in just three weeks. Nick tried to be calming and understanding but I was irritable. No unwilling changes happened since the months ago. I just really wanted to have the twins. I started my day early at four in the morning and of course I had to pee. Nick got up helping me into the bathroom and even went to make me breakfast.

"Thanks, Hun." I said as he came back to the bedroom.

"Of course." He replied knowing not to say anything to upset me.

I felt bad for him because he had this hot-tempered, pregnant werewolf for a wife.

"I love you." I reminded him.

"I love you too." Nick answered giving me a gently kiss.

As I ate my food Nick rubbed my stomach whispering something that even I couldn't hear. I could tell he was ready for Cara and Logan to come just as much as I was. After I was done eating I continued watching a movie. It could not have been more than ten minutes before I dosed off again. When I woke Jeremy brought in the ultrasound machine that he acquired when we told him.

"What's that for?" I asked.

"I want to check the twins to see what is going on." He answered.

I allowed Jeremy to lift my shirt to access my stomach. He put the gel down and started the machine. Jeremy studied the image for almost a minute before turning it off.

"What is it Jeremy?" I questioned.

A smile started to cover his saddened look.

"What?" I repeated.

"I think you are going to have them today, maybe tomorrow." Jeremy finally responded.

"Really?" I asked excited.

"Yes." He smiled again.

We went through the day like normal and did the same things as always. Went for a walk, laid in bed, ate some food, and repeat. Olivia would pop her head in every so often to check on me. Jeremy insisted that I move to the clinic room since it was already sterilized. By this time it was noon and I was waiting expectantly. Jeremy constantly came upstairs to see if anything changed but it didn't however Nick refused to leave my side. Clay picked out outfits for the twins to wear after they were born. Dinner passed but still nothing so I was getting very impatient. Clay and Nick tried keeping me calm since a change right now probably wouldn't be a good idea. So we waited...

It was eleven when it happened, my water broke and I was officially in labor. Olivia came upstairs right away practically jumping for joy. She seemed more excited than all of us combined. Medication was not an option so I took it out on Nick's hand. Clay didn't dare get close enough to me to see anything let alone risk getting his hand crushed. Everything was happening slowly for awhile but then the contractions were just seconds apart. It was time and I was ready.

"Push." Jeremy ordered. I did and waited a few seconds.

"Push." He said again so I did and waited another few seconds.

"Push." Jeremy continued.

Cara came out first and when I heard her first cry I couldn't help falling to tears. Jeremy quickly handed her to Elena for cleaning and he waited for Logan. That's when the insane happened... Olivia's water broke and she went into labor three weeks early.

"I hate you." I said to her as she laid on the bed next to me.

"Push." Jeremy called to me. I did and screamed this time.

"One more." He said. So I gave one big final push and heard my baby boy's cry.

After Cara and Logan were cleaned and dressed Elena handed me, Cara and Nick, Logan. Elena smiled brightly at Nick and I as she took our picture. Olivia laughed loudly next to use abruptly.

"What?" I asked.

"It's nothing but I was just thinking that we are the only ones probably in the entire world that just happened to go into labor on the exact same day." Olivia giggled.

Everyone; including myself, couldn't help but laugh because it was quite funny.

Official Birth-date of Logan Antonio and Cara Elizabeth Sorrentino:

February 18th, 2016 at 2:32 a.m.

Logan was eight pounds.

Cara was seven pounds and two ounces.

It was Olivia's turn.

I was finally able to get up and walk around. Feeding Cara and Logan came all too naturally. Nick was panicked almost all the time. We stayed in the clinic because Jeremy wanted to make sure everything was perfect which it was. Olivia was in labor for nine hours in which I took a nap. Finally it was time for little Levi to come into the world. All of our lives were about to change for the better. Jeremy eased along the birth and Levi was too small to be on his own right now. Jeremy put him in the incubator Elena got just in case.

"He should be in there for just a couple days." Jeremy assured Olivia and Clay.

Official Birth-date of Levi Eliot Danvers:
