Desire 2

Chapter Fifty-Two

"What is it? Is everything okay?" I asked, my voice shaky from my previous encounter and with the fear that something may be wrong.

"Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine! It's just that Anna is about to have the babies and she kind of, wants you in the room when it happens," he smiled up at me as my mouth fell agape.

"Absolutely not," I laugh as I glanced back to see everyone watching us.

"Come on! Please?"

"Matt, she'll kill me! Plus, you know I don't deal well with blood," I stated, distaste appearing on his face.

"Don't remind me. I don't either," he looked down at the tile floor.

"Listen, anything you want. I can get it. Money is not a problem," he pushed.

I laughed as he continued to stare at me, "Matt! Do you hear yourself? You're literally trying to bribe me into being in the delivery room with you and your girlfriend!"

His gaze held onto mine as time progressed and a convincing smile appeared on his face.

I let out a loud sigh before speaking, "I want One Direction tickets,"

"Done," He smiled, gripping my hand.

"And,"

"And?" he questioned.

"I want, I want," I spoke, thinking of something else to demand, "I want a Jeep,"

"You hate Jeeps," he sighed.

"Fine. Then I want a trip,"

"A trip to fucking where, Cam? We don't have that much time!" He urged.

"Fine! I wanna go to, to, Australia! I want to go there! Holy shit, can I go to Australia?" I laughed.

"I don't care. That's fine! Let's go!" I laughed before he pulled me off into the room.

Matt and I stood on both sides of Anna, holding onto her hands and her legs as the doctors encouraged Anna.

"Come on babe! You've got this!" Matt pushed.

"Oh shut up, Matt," she yelled as my eyes widened and I fought the smile on my face.

"Yes ma'am," he spoke.

The nurse announced that the first baby was coming as a look of pure and utter shock came over Matt's face.

"Matt, it's okay. Breathe," I urged him.

"Okay! Here he is!" The doctor shouted in glee.

Within a moment, I heard the cries of the little angel that had just catapulted into our lives. The simple sound of his cries brought tears to all three of our eyes as I reached down and hugged Anna slightly before Matt placed a kiss on top of her head.

"Matthew. His name is Matthew Alexander," Anna spoke, her breath shaky as Matt agreed.

Within a matter of seconds, there was another loud cry that filled the room.

"Your daughter is here! Would you like to cut the cord, Daddy?" The Doctor spoke as Matt stepped towards her.

"Her," Anna gasped as my gaze fell on her, "name -is,"

"Anna," I spoke as she gasped for air.

"Morgan," she finished, her head falling to the side.

"Anna!" I yelled, dismissing the name she had just given the baby, "Anna!"

"Baby! Baby! Anna! Wake up!" Matt pleaded as the nurses grabbed the two of us and hurried us out the doorway.

Down the hallway, I glanced to see all of them standing, watching us, obviously having heard all of the commotion.

"Oh my God," Matt breathed, his hand reaching up to his head, "Anna,"

I stood still in the blue scrubs I had changed into, tears falling from my eyes as Matt stood, helpless.

He walked towards the window to the room before one of the nurses closed the blinds.

"What the hell is going on?" Matt asked, noticing one of the nurses walking out of the room.

"Sir, your girlfriend is suffering from a severe hemorrhage,"

"What does that mean? Is she going to be okay? Where are the babies?" Matt pleaded as I stood behind him.

"I can't say anymore. I wasn't even supposed to say that. All I can say is that they are doing everything they can for her. And the babies will be transported to the nursery as soon as possible," He finished before stepping back.

"Matt, hey, hey look at me," I spoke, grabbing his face in my hands, "It's gonna be okay. She is gonna be okay,"

"What if she isn't? What if? Oh my God. I can't lose anyone else. How am I supposed to take care of two kids by myself?" He sobbed as his back fell against the wall, everyone still staring from a distance.

"Hey," I began, tears streaming from my eyes, "You're never alone. You've got me. You've always got me," I spoke as I shot him a faint smile.
