"Help,help", Alejandro called as he entered the doorway of the hospital.
Doctors came rushing towards them

"My daughter is in labor", Victoria pitched in.

They quickly brought a wheel bed, then Alejandro gently set her down on it.

One female nurse brought a form and handed it to Victoria.

"Imma need you to fill this form out, while your daughter is in our care, then hand it over right there", she pointed towards two other female nurses behind a counter.

Victoria did just what the nurse ordered then hand over the form.

She watched as the young nurses kept their eyes locked on Alejandro.

Although Grace was in intense pain as she was being wheeled out, her eyes never left Alejandro's, so did his.

Her loud screams could be heard throughout the hallway and behind the room they took her.

"Thank you", he felt a light pat on his back.

"Can you please explain how she knows my name?", it was all he wanted. It drove him crazy not remembering a single thing about himself or his life.

Of course he had asked his siblings to fill him in, but all they did was fed him things that didn't really suit him.
He tried anything just to remember but they had never worked.

"I'm sorry, I can't, I think this is a conversation you should only have with her", Victoria eyes rolled to the door where her daughter disappeared behind.

Alejandro covered his face with both hands, he felt frustrated.

"I don't even know what it is, but the connection I felt with her, felt so real, almost familiar and it just wouldn't come to me, I can't remember anything", he softly revealed. He had a headache.

"What do you mean?, you can't Remember? ", Victoria took interest in his words.

"I came out a coma a month ago, they didn't tell me much all they said was I was in a accident, had a concussion that put me in a coma when I woke I had a memory lost, that's it", Alejandro stressed.

On the other hand Victoria was lost for words, she watched as the man struggled to tell his story.

"I'm sorry to hear that my dear, surepy that can't be easy", Victoria sympathized.

"It's not, all I want is to remember, something, anything", he rubbed his temple.

"Maybe you should relax, I'm going to get a coffee, do you want one, or is there anything else I could get you? ", Victoria got up and asked.

"No, thanks, im fine", he answered.

Alejandro thought about all that had happened minutes ago, maybe this was a sign, maybe that beautiful woman had all the answers I was looking for, the way she looked at me, it was almost like she knew who I was but it was like she was, shocked and scared, did seeing me, put her into labor?, surely she was due anytime soon, given the fact of that huge belly she carried, twins maybe, does she really know who I am?, all these unanswered thoughts ran through his mind.

......................................................

"Okay honey, imma need to know your name while we go through this together alright", it was the same nurse that had ask her mother to fill out the form.

"It's Grace", her body was soaken wet in sweat, she felt like she was on fire.

"Okay Grace, I'm Samantha, is this your first time?", Samantha calmly asked.

"YESSSS", Grace screamed. It wasn't hard to tell that she was ready to deliver.

"Is she ready doctor?", Samantha asked the other doctor who was reading her dilution.

"Ready as ever, lets get these babies out", the doctor said to both women.
"BABIES?", Grace widely open her eyes.

Samantha took over the delivery.

"Okay Grace on the count of two I need you to push as hard as you can, you ready?", Samantha asked.

Grace nod.

"One, two, push",

...............................................

Twenty minutes later

Grace was panting heavily, her ultrasound determined that she was having one child not twins.

She felt relief it was all over until a sharp pain hit her again.

Samantha rushed over to her.

"Oh my God", Samantha expressed.

Through pain Grace had to ask.
"Samantha what's wrong, ahhhhhh!!, what's happening?!",.

"Doctor get over here", the doctor came rushing over.

"Grace, honey I need you to push again", Samantha explained

.................................................

Alejandro felt restless, he was still at the hospital, his feet led him to a room where he heard screams, he peeped through the glass, there she was, in the prime of her child birth.

Grace tried and tried to push as hard as she can but it seemed as though the stubborn child didn't want to meet the world.
She then felt she was being watched, she looked over and there he was, then the tremendous pain hit her harder than ever.

Samantha followed Grace's eyes that met her distraction, the woman was obviously smitten by the handsome young man that stood and watched but held her professional composure.

"If he's the father you're going to have to be distracted later right now you need your focus on this little one", Samantha explained.

Grace grind her teeth, then pushed even harder.

The hard wails of the underweight baby filled the room, finally it was all over, Grace looked over at the door, he was still there.

The two locked their gazes.

"Triplets huh", Samantha said to her, grabbing a small seat on the bed.

She looked at where Grace attention was knowing that the woman didn't hear one word she said.

Samantha smiled.

"Grace, Grace" she called. Trying to capture the woman's attention.

"Huh", Grace answered.

"I'm going to get the babies cleaned up", Samantha saw that Grace attention was still on the man.
"You know you can see him now", with that she got up and left.

Grace saw that Samantha had an exchange of words with him.

She watched as he looked at her babies being strolled out.

....................................................

Alejandro felt a strange static running through him as he saw the new born babies passing by him.
But he figured it was just the effect of seeing a new life enter the world.

When they were out of sight, he focused on his mission at hand.
He entered the room
