The second day after the babies had been born, she had heard about Hunter and Jane needing volunteers to take some shifts looking after the babies. Obviously Rhage and Marry would be there but they needed someone who could handle the medical stuff. She told Jane she was interested and hoped that they would take her seriously. The babies had been doing good. The boys were eating from bottles while the girl needed a feeding tube to feed her. She hadn't made much progress toward recovery and she knew it worried both Jane and Hunter. It was something that weighed on everyone's minds as each day passed.
Meeting for volunteers down in medical in five minutes.
She rushed down the stairs and into the medical unit. Once there she saw Manny there as well as Beth and Sage. She hoped that they all could handle this stuff. Hunter and Jane came walking in.
"First of all, thanks for volunteering. It means a lot to Rhage and Mary. The babies are all in need of medical supervision. As their doctor I have enlisted Jane and Manny as my secondary doctors so I can take time to relax. You three have volunteered to help feed them. It's important that, which ever doctor is assisting that day, you listen to instructions and follow them to the tee. Its also important that when feeding them you don't pick them up. We want to keep all germs away from them. We have worked a schedule of feedings, and medical care. As I am their primary doctor I will be overseeing their check ups and releases as they reach their milestones. Jane and Manny will be looking after them when I have a day off from medical rounds. Any questions?" He asked.
The voice of her uncle came from behind them, "Are you really my son?"
All heads turned to Hunter and Jane.
" The results just came back. I had hoped to meet with the both of you later this afternoon. But as you've asked. Yes he is your son." Jane told them, "Now please. We've got to check on the babies and teach our volunteers how to care for them. Hunter, I'll see to this. You speak with your father."

Hunter just stood there looking at the man who had just been confirmed as his father. He didn't know what to say. The man looked a tad bit angry and he wasn't quite sure why. He needed to go check on Mary and the babies. He needed to see to the training of the volunteers. He hated to rely on Jane and Manny to assist in that. Besides he wanted to be near Nalla. He couldn't be away from her.
"Well, Hunter. I'm glad we now know you are my son." His father said softly.
"Thanks. I'm glad we know the truth. To be honest, I thought my mother was lying. I hoped she wasn't but thought maybe she was."
"It's alright. I'm just glad you found me before... Oh never mind. How are the babies and Mary doing?"
"The boys are progressing good. Both are eating from a bottle and seem to be gaining weight. The girl is not eating from a bottle and her weight is unstable. Mary is healing well."
"What can you do for the girl?"
"Feed her a little more often from the boys. Up her ounce intake, give her a different formula, maybe breast milk. It's just a guessing game right now. I don't see how she thought she was full term."
"Trust me she was full term. She never had an ultrasound to tell her there was more than one."
"Hmm... Interesting. Well I need to get back to the babies."
"Good luck."
"Thanks."
