Four months later:
I've been working on the nursery for two weeks now. And I've got to say, it's pretty good. I've seen mom seven times since we found out about my nieces and nephews, and she's been here helping me for the past week. I'm due in about a month and I'm nervous.
Riley and Tara had their twins six days ago, Mason and Layla. Xavier's twin boys names are Charlie and Jeremy. Then there's Kendall's twin girls, Hadley and Olivia. She is getting nervous, not having the father around and all.
Right now I'm sitting in the kitchen with Xavier and Kayla talking about the babies that will be coming soon. Kayla has been staying with us for about three months now, her brother kicked her out when he found out she was pregnant. So she's been here until Xavier can save up the money to get them an apartment.
"They don't stop kicking." Kayla says. I laugh and nod my head.
"These three sleep all day then when it comes time for me to sleep they kick up storms, it's miserable." I say.
"I'm glad I'm not the girl." Xavier says and both me and Kayla slap his arms. He chuckles and goes back to eating.
"So are you excited?" Kayla asks.
"Kinda, I'm both excited and ner-" I don't finish my sentence because a sharp pain spreads through the bottom half of my belly. I cover it and start screaming.
"Brooke are you okay?" Xavier asks running to me.
"Guys, my water just broke." I say look down at the ground. Xavier stars freaking out. I slowly get up and walk over to my phone. I dial Aiden's number first.
"Hello?" He answers on the second ring.
"Hey, can you meet us at the hospital in twenty minutes?" I ask him. I hear something drop.
"Why?" He asks in a rushed tone.
"Because you're going to be a daddy." I say. He start mumbling curse words and fumbling around with stuff. I hang up and call my mom.
"Hey sweetie. How's it going?" She asks.
"Can you meet us at the hospital in twenty minutes? My water just broke." I ask. She doesn't say anything she just hangs up.
"Okay. Xavier drive us to the hospital then come back and get me and the babies clothes in the bag that we have in my room. Can you do that?" I ask him. He nods and grabs his keys. He runs out of the house leaving Kayla and I watching after him.
"I feel bad for you when you go into labour." I tell her and start walking. She hooks her arm with mine and we both walk out to the car where Xavier is not.
"Where the hell is he?" Kayla asks.
"I don't know but I'm not having these babies right here." I say walking over to the car. I look down the street and see Xavier running our way. "Found him." I say pointing over to him.
"What the hell Xavier? She's in labour an you go for a run?" Kayla asks him.
"I forgot to get the car." He says out of breath.
"I don't care just get me to the damn hospital!" I yell right as soon as a contraction hits. This ones worse then the other one. I start screaming and hold on to the door handle tightly.
After a few seconds it subsides and I'm good. I get into the car and we drive off.
"Drive a little faster please." I say. He drives faster and in a matter of five minutes we make it to the hospital.
"Brooke!" Aiden yells when we get out if the car. He runs over to me with a wheelchair and takes me into the hospital.
We get checked in and sent to a room to wait for my doctor.
"Hello Brooke. Are you ready to have these kids?" My doctor asks when he walks in.
"If you want the truth, no." I say shaking my head.
"Well you're going to have to tough it because they are ready to see mommy and daddy." He says while looking at my paperwork.
"Do I still get a c-section?" I ask while nervously biting my bottom lip.
"I did promise you one. You can't have these three naturally because of your hips. They are too narrow to push three babies out. So I'm sending in a nurse that will prepare you and get everything set up for your c-section. I'll be seeing you in twenty minutes." He says with a smile and walks out.
Two hours later:
I'm finally out of that surgery room. It took a lot longer than expected, because Savannah wasn't quite ready to come out. They could not find her, turns out she was up in my rib cage not moving, breathing, anything. It scared me to know that my baby girl wasn't breathing. But when they got her out she started balling. I started crying as well. My baby girl was okay. Even though she is a lot smaller then the boys at 3 lbs 5 oz.. While the boys both weighed 5 lbs 5 oz.. But they were all healthy. So we should be able to go home tomorrow.
Right now I'm sitting in my room fighting to keep my eyes open. My brothers and sister are helping a little but not much. Riley had his twins with him because Tara was sick, so he had to bring them. They are so adorable. My three got brought in and are currently sleeping in the beds the nurses have. Clayton and Aaron are so much alike. They both sleep exactly like their daddy, right arm thrown over their forehead, left hand tucked up underneath them. They both had blonde hair while Savannah had brown hair. The doctor said that the hair color might change it might not. Same for eye color, Clayton and Savannah had blue eyes, while Aaron had brown eyes.
I'm so happy they are finally here.
The next day- going home:
We are signing the papers to let me leave. Joshua and Noah were holding the boys while mom was holding Savannah. I was sitting in my wheelchair patiently waiting for Aiden to get done signing the papers. He said he was on his last one so I waited.
"Okay I'm finished. Are you ready to go?" He asks turning to me. I nod and he starts to push me out of the hospital. Once to our car the babies get loaded up and I get in the front seat.
We've been driving for ten minutes, happily talking, listening to music, or sitting in a comfortable silence. I smile to myself when I look into the mirror at my beautiful babies. I look back at Aiden to see him already looking at me. I give him a big smile and turn to look at the road.
"I don't think our life could ever get better." I tell him.
"Me neither." He says. After that I close my eyes and fall into a peaceful slumber.
