Theo POV:

The phone drops out of my hand.
I grab my keys and run to my car.
I see Ruth.
"Ruth, I don't have time for this. I have somewhere to be." I say getting into my car and driving away.
I am speeding.
When I reach to the hospital, I run to the desk.
"Where's Shailene Taptiklis?" I ask.
"Theo!" Ansel exclaims.
"Where are the girls?" I ask.
"Zoë is in there with Shailene. Don't go in there man. There are things in there a man shouldn't see.
"She's my wife." I say and run into the room.
"Theo!" Shailene yells.
"I'm here!" I say as I hold her hand. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."
The obstetrician and the midwife run in.
Shailene squeezes my arms really hard.
"Its coming!" The midwife yells.
"Push!"
Shailene squeezes harder.
"Push!"
Harder.
"Push!"
Much, much harder.
"Push!"
"I see the head!" The obstetrician yells. "Push!"
Shailene bites her lips and squeezes my hand harder.
"Push!"
"It's okay Shailene." Zoë yells.
"Push!"
Shailene squeezes my hands.
"Push!"
Shailene squeezes my hand.
Did I mention, my hand feels like it's on fire? No? Well that's what it feels like.
"Push!"
"He's out!"
Shailene releases my hand.
They take our baby to clean it.
Meanwhile, four minutes later.
"Push!"
I can see tears coming out of Shailene's eyes.
She squeezes my hands harder.
"Push!"
Zoë and I telling her comforting words.
"Push!"
"It's alright Shailene, I'm right here."
"Push!"
"Come one Shailene!"
"Push!"
"He's out!"
Shailene releases my hands and smiles weakly.
They take out our other baby to clean him.
They hand Shailene, our first baby.

Shailene POV:

"Shailene, what are we going to name him?" Theo asks me smiling.
"His name is Ian. Ian James Taptiklis." I say smiling at the baby in my hand.
They walk into with our second baby and hand him to me.
"Brent Peter Taptiklis." I say.
Theo, Zoë, and Ansel smile.
"Hi boys. I'm your mommy. I know you don't understand what I am saying but it's okay. Your daddy and I are new at this. So we might make a mistake or two. But it's okay because we make up for it by loving you." I say.
I yawn.
Zoë and Theo take the babies away from me as I feel asleep.
