HOUR 1:
I couldn't believe we have to have the twins six weeks early. I was so scared. But I had the best group of friends and two loving ladies to help me through this. Right now it's April third, I was still in awe that it's been four months since we bought the house and it's been three months since we all moved out of our houses and into the house. I was so happy that things turned out the way we planned. Everybody has their own room except the kids. So there are six cribs and two changing tables in their room. The closet is packed with clothes and such. We have tons of diapers and bibs. Can you say we're ready? But that doesn't take away the pain that I'm in. They had to induce me before the C section. I'm so scared about this. So basically they induce me then we have to wait until I'm far enough along before they slice and dice<----Gee's words not mine. I have the biggest feeling that the next little while is going to be very dramatic.
The discomfort was so painful. I had to lay there and go through labour without pain medication for most of the day but then I was given an epidural. I feel so sorry for Mikey's hand. I haven't let it go since this morning. He must need to go to the bathroom so badly. I lay on the hospital bed, lying on my side with Mikey's hand tightly in my grasp. I could feel Sarah rubbing my back softly. My mom went to get coffee for everyone and some ice for me while Mikey's mom hushed me to sleep. I'll need it she says. Gee was sitting in the waiting room with Frank, Ray, Kat, Cassidy and Holly. The only reason Sarah was in here was because she was the one to drive me here. The others just want to wait patiently in the waiting room until my mom gets back and gives them the say so. I felt another wave of pain strike me hard, I gripped tighter on Mikey's hand and let tears roll down my heated face. I couldn't feel my heart beat for a second before the pain was gone and I could breathe easy. But the phantom pain was still there. I looked up at the brunette that sat beside me with glasses and a worried expression.
"Hey, you're doing great. Just think of Oliver and Eugine." Mikey's voice was soft and settle. I sighed and faked a smile at him.
"Did you know over 80 women a year die from giving child birth?" I whispered in a harsh way. He frowned at me slightly before kissing my forehead. The thought of dying trying to bring life into this world seems like a good way to go if you ask me. Two lives for one life. I just want to see my sons before I go. Last thing I see, first thing they see.
“Don’t think of that. Think of what they’re going to wear when we go home.” Mikey murmured softly. I sighed and smiled lively at him. I watched as my mom came back into the room followed by everyone else. They all looked so happy and not in labour. Lucky fucks. Seeing my entire family here was the best feeling in the world. Kat instantly came over and gave me a hug, well a failed attempt of a hug. Cassidy and Holly brought flowers and balloons. The chatter immediately begun as soon as everyone was piled into my room. The topic of conversation was what we’re naming our kids.
“Well we have a nice name for our daughter.” Kat said sweetly. She rubbed her belly and smiled. I tried to smile but the giant needle in my ass made that hard to do. But it was either a giant needle in my ass or contractions. I’d choose the needle any day. But I managed.
“Her name is Penelope Sirena Iero.” Frank announced being so proud of himself. I smiled at the beautiful name they gave the beautiful baby girl. I was all too excited to see what a beautiful baby those two made. I mean seriously. But no one’s kids are gonna beat mine and Mikey’s two boys. They will be little angels. I watched Sarah and Gee intently.
“Hailie Leah Way.” Sarah muttered softly. That’s a really clever name, I like it. But I was having two boys and they are gonna be bad ass with his dad owning every comic book, video game and movie known to man. My eyes darted over to see Cassidy and Ray snuggling into each other.
“Bethany Abby Toro.” She whispered softly and rubbed the bump on her belly. I smiled and sighed heavily as I felt another contraction twist my insides violently. Mikey’s hand in mine, I felt his hand begin to shrink as my grip tightened on his hand. My back arched high in the air. I had to remember to breath. My eyes tightly closed as I let out a small cry. The pain faded slowly as I regained my strength and sobriety. My blurred eyes watched Holly carefully as she let small tears run down her face but a cute smile played her lips.
“Kayden Anthony Kelly.” She announced with a smile. I watched Frank’s eyes light up brightly. She used his middle name as her son’s middle name. That’s so sweet. I wonder what is going through Holly’s mind.
