Josh POV
Colleen has been sleeping most of the night except for feeding Jasmine the few times I brought her to her. Rachel and Tricia stayed overnight and looked after Lily and Noah for us. I need to get Colleen feeling better and eating. I walk out from our bathroom quietly as I crawl back into bed to her. She has her baby blanket tucked under her face and is sleeping so peaceful. I just lay there and stare at her. I am in awe of everything she has given me and sacrificed for me, for us. I see her stirring. "Josh" she says before her eyes open. "Yes babe. How did you know I was here?" I say smiling rubbing her cheek. "I could smell your cologne" she says. I smile and kiss her lips. "Always here babe" I say. "What time is Katie and Tara coming?" she asks. "Hmmm about an hour. They texted me 45 minutes ago and said they would be 2 hours" I say rubbing her leg through the blanket. "I need a shower" she says. "Ok lets do it" I say. I scoop her up as she grabs onto me and swing her legs onto the floor. "Feel woozy babe" she says leaning on me. "Its the pain meds babe and you need to eat hun"I say concerned. We walk slowly into the bathroom and I get her undressed and in the shower as she washes herself but I have one hand on her the entire time. "Colleen look at your stomach. You just had a baby yesterday and your stomach is almost gone" I say shocked. "Maybe a fourth?" she asks smiling. "No" I say "I am going to take care of that situation this month" I say. She steps out of the shower. "I don't get a say?" she says. I stop moving. "Colleen, Jasmine was not planned and it caused huge problems when we found out because I worry about your health. I know you don't worry as much but I do. The doctors will be really pissed" I say. She nods and walks away from me to the closet and throws a onesie on and crawls back into bed crying. She cuddles into her pillow and faces away from me. I climb beside her. "Hormones?" I ask inquiring about the sudden crying. "In pain" she says. I kiss her neck and wrap myself around her.
I hear the doorbell a short time later as both Colleen and I dozed off. I look at Colleen as I sit up and wipe my eyes. She looks yellow. "Baby?" I say nudging her. She rolls and looks at me. "I think the girls are here" I say. She nods and turns back. "Colleen?" I ask crawling up to her. "Sweetheart you ok?" I ask. "Tired" she says. I get up off the bed and walk around to her side of the bed as I hear Rachel, Katie and Tara come down the hall. I bend down to Colleen as Rachel knocks. "Come in!" I say. "She ok?" Rachel asks seeing me kneeling on the floor facing her. "She is yellow Tara" I say as Tara moves in front of her to talk to her. "She was in pain an hour ago" I add as Rachel grabs my hand as Tara and Katie start taking over taking her blood pressure, pulse and blood work. I see Colleen look at me and lightly smile. I know something is wrong.
