*still Grayson's P.O.V.*

Doc: "Your wife is currently in an induced coma. If she doesn't wake up in the next 24 hours, there's a 100% chance she won't make it. She had a really bad, unnoticed eclampsia, that's why all of this suddenly happened. If she's going to wake up, everything should be fine though. I'm really sorry and your wife will be in everyone's prayers in the hospital. Good luck and I'll come back later to check on the babies and your wife."

I didn't say anything. I COULDN'T say anything and just looked down, crying again. Why. Why is it always Raina who's getting hurt and almost dies, maybe not just almost this time. I wish I could take the pain away, let me die instead of her and let me be on that hospital bed. She didn't even see our babies yet. Our beautiful baby girl and beautiful baby boy. They need a mom to learn from and grow up with. I mean, I will be the best dad I can be but.. My wife, their mother, has to be with us. Please pull through Raina, you got 24 hours princess. Show us how strong you are, you've always been the strongest person I've ever met. I feel horrible, simply broken and devastated. I don't even want to imagine how Luna, Ethan and I will feel if she doesn't make it..


It's been four hours and with every minute passing, my anxiety grows and my heart breaks a little more and more. I've spent every second of those hours by her side, with our babies in a small crib next to me. The twins are beautiful. They are so small and light, I was scared to break them while trying to pick them up for the first time. Luna showed me how to pick them up and hold them, even though she's as broken as I am and so is Ethan. The three of us are devastated and lost. Raina was the light in our darkness for all of us. No matter what problem we had, no matter what we struggled with. Raina was the one to give advice, to lend a shoulder to cry on, to make you feel a whole lot better.

10 hours left. Raina is still in a coma, not moving or opening her eyes. I even put our babies on her chest for a few minutes every now and then but nothing  happened. There's still time left for her to wake up but with every second passing, the hope that's left inside of me, fades a little more.

2 hours left. No. No, No, NO! Raina has to wake up! She's too young, too precious to die. I don't want to and I can not live without her. And neither can our babies, Luna, Ethan or even baby Sky. No one slept even 5 seconds ever since Raina and I went to the hospital. And if she doesn't wake up, I won't sleep anytime soon anyways. How will I be able to raise our beautiful babies with love and happiness when I lose my own. How will I tell them she died after giving birth because there was something wrong, they might blame themselves for it one day then. Hopefully, I won't have to deal with any of those things. I WILL NOT DEAL WITH THOSE THINGS BECAUSE RAINA WILL WAKE UP.

30 minutes left. Ethan, Luna and I sat in chairs next to each other. We held each other's hands and started to pray for Raina to wake up. Ever since I met her, I started to believe in God. All the things we have in common, the connection we have, the love we share. I've never felt so close to someone besides Ethan. I truly believe that any of my relationships that failed, every rough time I've been through and every heartbreak I felt, led me to her. I was meant to bump into her that day at the airport a few years ago.

40 minutes later. It's been 10 minutes since 24 hours were over. This can't be happening.

Doc: "I'm sorry Mr. Dolan, but your wife is gone. Please leave this room when you're ready to, the nurse has to turn off everything that helped your wife breathe and over all kept her alive. I am really sorry for your loss. I'll come see you in a bit to talk everything through."

She's gone. My wife is gone. I felt my world crumble around me and everything felt numb. Nothing made sense to me and all I could do was walk out of that room, watching the nurse walk in. I heard Luna and Ethan break down crying next to me but I couldn't bare to look at them. All I did was feel numb and stare at the clean, white wall in front of me. What am I going to do now. Raina was everything to me. She never met our beautiful babies, everything she ever wanted. She will never watch them grow up, hear them say mom, mommy or any other word.  We'll never celebrate their birthday together or our wedding anniversary. Our first one would've been in a little over 5 months and she won't be there with me. I wish I could kiss her one more time, hold her, hear her laugh, love her one more time. But everything that's left are our beautiful babies and pictures or videos of my beautiful, perfect wife. How will I ever tell the twins where their mom has gone the day they were born. Will we ever be happy on their birthdays? It'll always be the same day their mom died. How will I ever get over this. I don't think I'll ever be able to love someone new. Raina will always be a part of my heart, along with our babies. I already miss her so much. My heart hurts like hell and finally, I could let it all out. Tears start to stream down my face like never before.

Nurse: "DOCTOR! I NEED YOU IN HERE!"

The doctor who went with us through everything that happened the last 2 days, ran into the room where my wife was still on the bed.

Doc: "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! MR. DOLAN COME IN"

Curious to know what's going on, I got up from the floor where I just broke down after feeling nothing for a while. My whole body and heart hurt.

R: "Gray" I heard a really weak voice say.

"WHAT! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE! OH MY GOD PRINCESS BABY SUNSHINE YOU'RE ALIVE!" I ran over to Raina's bed, giving her a passionate yet innocent kiss, scared to hurt and lose her again.

Doc: "This is a miracle! Mrs. Dolan, you're the strongest patient we ever had! No one ever woke up after those 24 hours were over. Well, no one who went through the same that you did. We have to run some tests to make sure you're alright and if everything's fine, you'll be able to leave the hospital tomorrow"

R: "Are my babies fine?? Where are they?!" Raina started crying.

"Shh babe they're fine. I'll go get them to meet their mommy"

That night, I slept in a chair next to Raina's bed, feeling safe again. Everything was fine and we went home after lunch the next day to start our family life at home.
