Life Never goes as Planned

Surprising The Family

A few days passed and I was feeling great despite dying. I couldn't believe that I died but I'm blessed that I was given another opportunity to be here with my family. Speaking of family, today is the day that my in laws arrive from Hawaii and we will be telling them that they are having two grandchildren instead of one.

Killian and Lacy had gone out to buy more clothes for Liam because we had girl clothes since we thought we were going to have one girl. Tomorrow I will be getting released along with Liam, unfortunately my poor Leía needs to stay here for at least 3 months or until she gains three more pounds. I haven't seen her because I had been so weak so today there are bringing her in the incubator and that's when we will reveal her and Liam to my in laws.

I take some time to get myself presentable for them because I'm pretty sure I look like crap. I've been avoiding the cameras and the people from FA have been visiting and I haven't been looking so presentable. I get up and check on Liam who is sound asleep. My heart filled with warmth seeing him sleeping there in his bassinet covered with a blue and white blanket.

I walked to the bathroom to fix my face and hair. As soon as I see my reflection I scream at the tops of my lungs. I hadn't noticed that Killian had come back and he came running into the bathroom. "Love, what's wrong?" I give him a weird look and gasp. "Killian I look hideous, my gosh do you see how my eyes look and your parents are going to see me like this."

He shakes his head then laughs. "Oh my gosh Emma, I thought it was something else, I think you look rather stunning." He says and hugs me from behind and wraps his arms around my waist. I laugh. "Sure I look stunning." I say in a mocking tone. He laughs then backs away then puts his arm over my shoulder and I lean against his shoulder. We just stood there starting at our reflections in the mirror.

"Our lives are going to be different from now on Killian, we are a family of four now when we thought we would be a family of three." He nods. "It will be a difficult one but I wouldn't change it for the world." I smile. "I love you." He smiles. "I love you too." He says and kisses me.

We then walk back out to the room and the nurse is walks in with Leía in the incubator. We pulled every string possible for them to allow her to be in here. They connect the incubator and do all the necessary stuff for Leía to be as comfortable as possible. "I will come every half hour to check on her." The nurse says. I nod and smile. "Thank you so much." She nods and walks out and closes the door.

I walk over to the incubator and I put my hand on top of it. "My princess." I say out loud and a tear rolled down my eye. I could see her little chest going up and down from her breathing, it hurt me to know that she was having difficulty breathing but I knew that she was in the best hands here at the hospital.

"Ok now let's get Liam changed before your parents arrive." I say as I take out clothes from the bags Killian had brought. I take out a cute little blue onesie with bears. I laughed. "I love it." Even though Liam was asleep I managed to change his clothes.

An hour passes by and we get a message saying that my in laws were here. Killian smiles. "Boy are they in for a surprise." I laugh and nod. We decide to hide Liam behind a curtain and show Leía first. After a couple of minutes waiting we hear a knock. I look at Killian and smile. He smiles back.

They walk in and they had so many pink balloons and gifts in their hands I just couldn't help but laugh. "Emma dear." Killian's mom says and walks over to the bed and hugs me. "So glad the surgery went well, you look amazing." I smile and nod. Killian and I decided on keeping secret the fact that I had died. Only Lacy, Killian and I will know the truth and I mean it's for the best, I didn't die so what's the harm in keeping this from them.

Killian and his dad hug and then they put the stuff on the counter next to the wall. "Mom and Dad meet Leía Jones." Killian says and he points to the incubator. They both gasp. "Why is she so tiny?" Brennan asks. Killian looks at me and I nod. "Well because she was a good big sister and gave up her nutrients to her younger brother." Killian says. They both stood there confused.

Killian then pulls the curtain away and reveals Liam. "We had two little surprises inside." I say out loud. "Oh my gosh you guys you had twins!" Brennan says with a joyful tone. Killian and I both nod. Killian's Mom started to cry. "I can't believe I'm a grandma of two." She says then goes and picks Liam up. "Man you two sure loved each other because y'all came out with double the blessing, I bet you guys had a lot fun huh?" Brennan asked.

I blush like crazy and Killian shakes his head. "Really dad?" Killian says and I laugh. "What's his name Emma?" His mom asks. "Liam." I reply and she smiles. That's when Liam opens his eyes. "Oh my gosh he has blue eyes." She says and I nod. "Yup gorgeous like his fathers." Killian looks at me and smiles.

Brennan walks towards the incubator and is just staring at Leía. I get up from the bed and walk passed Killian and his mom and walk over to where he was standing at. He smiles when he looks at me. "Oh Emma, you're still wearing the necklace?" I nod. "I will never take it off." He smiles and puts his hand on the incubator. "My little girl is in there and I just, she's so tiny and..." Brennan says and starts to cry.

"She's healthy for a baby of her size, be happy that she didn't come out with no abnormalities or disabilities she's just having difficulty breathing because she's tiny." I say and he smiles. "I'm sorry it's just it hit me that I'm a grandfather." I smile. "Its ok, how about you go and see your grandson who was a real surprise to us all." He nods and smiles.

He walks over to them and sits down with Liam in his arms. I sit back on the bed because I am feeling way more winded than usual, and also cold. I just kept feeling shivers going down my spine. I ignore it and I lean against Killian who was sitting next to me. He grabs my hand then kisses my head. I slowly close my eyes as I interlocked fingers with Killian. After a couple of seconds I completely doze away.
