True Love (Discontinued)

Chapter 11

Finn's POV

I pace outside the door. They told me to leave about an hour ago when something started going wrong. Suddenly the doctor appears with a grim look in her face.

"Twins, both female. What are their names?" She says.

"I can't tell you without seeing them." I snap defiantly.

She sighs.

"Alright but first, there is some bad news. Marcilene has slipped into a coma."

I whirl around.

"What!?" I exclaim.

"We don't know why exactly. It shouldn't last long. A few days at most. It was most likely caused by stress." The doctor tells me.

I take a deep breath, pulling at my hair. My beautiful angel, in a coma. One she may never wake up from. The thought of never seeing Marcy's smile again, never hearing that amazing laugh of hers or the little squeaking noise she makes. I feel insane.

"Just take me to the babies.'' I growl.

Stupid babies. Suddenly I hated them for what they did. I follow the nurse into the incubator room. My babies are laying next to each other.

"The blonde one is Fiona Crystal and the other is Caramella Aria."

Marcy and I had chosen two boy and two girl names that we would mix and match depending on which gender our babies were. I would probably think they were adorable if they hadn't put my beautiful fiancé into a coma.

"Where is Marcy?" I demand.

"In her room." The doctor responds.

I run out of the room. I found Marcy in her hospital bed with an IV and life support. Suddenly I have to get out of there. I run out of the hospital. My world has fallen out from under my feet.

"Finn, you can't keep neglecting your parental duties." Jake scolds me, "Lady can't take care of our kids and yours."

I ignore him and stare angrily at the wall.

It has been a whole month and Marcy still lays in a coma. I visit her everyday while Jake and Lady watch a Fiona and Caramella. I know it's negligent, but I hate them for what they did.

"Finn, it's not their fault. They just happened to be part of it but it's not their fault." Jake tried to reason with me.

"Leave me alone." I snarl.

Jake punches me. I cup my cheek, wincing in pain.

"Take care of your damn kids and stop all your bullshit. You are being a deadbeat dad." Jake rises and storms out of the house.

I sigh, knowing he's right. But I can't seem to get over it. I need to try. I take a deep breathe and slowly climb the stairs and walk into the nursery. Lady is sitting in the rocking chair holding Caramella while Fiona naps in her crib.

"Hello Finn." Lady says tiredly.

"Hi Lady. I-I'm going to try and take care if my kids now."

She looks surprised.

"Alright. There is formula in the fridge. You know where the rest is right?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Alright. I'll be back tomorrow to check in."

"Bye Lady."

"Bye Finn."

She hands me Caramella and walks out of the room and a few minutes later I hear the front door close. I look down at Caramella. She was sleeping peacefully. A soft down is starting to grow on her head the color of, well, caramel ironically. I kiss her tiny forehead.

"I'm going to take care of you and raise you right. Marcy wouldn't want me to mistreat you guys."

And there. I took foreeeeeever to finish this. Still on hiatus but thought I may as well finish writing this chapter. Bai!
