Over the next few weeks my stomach grew, it got to the point where I had to sit at a slight incline or the girls would cut off all feeling to my legs. It became harder to breath and I was always tired. If I had been human these girls would have killed me. I had started to think of names for the babies. Placing a hand on each side where their backs were pressing. I wanted to stick with the plant names, but I didn't know how. I had narrowed it down to the four I liked. But at the moment I couldn't decide. It had to wait until I saw my girls.

" You alright Ellie?"

Abe was walking into the room, in his hands held a cup of coffee and a big thing of raspberry slushy with nerds. Grinning I held out my hands for both as he came near. He pulled them away and his eyes held a challenge. Grabbing at his shirt, I pulled him down and gave him a kiss. While I kissed him I pulled at the cup of coffee. I needed it if I wanted to stay awake for the rounds of tests they were going to do later. Everyday the nurses came in and poked me with needles, taking my blood. It wore out a girl after a few days.

" You need to sleep more love, it's not good for you to always stay awake."

Shrugging I chugged the hot coffee. Almost wiggling with joy as it didn't cause me to feel ill.

" Not tired."

It was my normal response since the nightmare that my family was not real. That had scared me to my core. It made everyone worry, but I couldn't help it. The slightest thought of me not having my girls ....no I didn't even want to think about it.

"Eleanor. You have to sleep. I will keep your nightmares away. I promise you."

He grabbed my hands and squeezed it. Huffing, I downed the rest of the coffee and held my hand out for the shushy.

" After I get my slushy."

His laugh filled the room as I started to sip at the frozen treat.

" You never cease to amaze me love. I love you so damn much."

I smiled and scooted over. Making room for him on the bed. While I drank the frozen treat, he read to me. As the book came to the end so did my drink. I was almost asleep when the first wave of pain hit. But this time it wasn't them hurting me. It was time. Almost four months early. Gripping Abes hand, I looked at him in fear.

" Abe."

Then he was out of the bed, running to the door yelling for a nurse. A wave of pain hit me again as I sat up more, my peaceful moment was gone. Now it was time to have my girls.

-Rose-

Mama was in pain, I could feel it. She was going to be hurting for a while. My sisters were coming. They were going to be beautiful. Dad was going to take us to the beach and let us swim far down in the waters and then we can breathe water into our lungs. But mama needs to be okay first. Mom was screaming and it scared me. My heart was hurting because mama was hurting. Aunt liz came and held me. May and Belle were holding hands and patting my legs. They knew I was worried. I just hoped Mama and Dad were okay.



A/N: So its been a while and its a short chapter. I know.  But by this Saturday I will lots more time to write for this book. I'm finally graduating high school! I'm so excited to be out of that school its almost mind blowing to think I don't have to deal with evil teachers anymore or drama for leadership stuff. Life is calming down now...hopefully. See you all in the next chapter. ~Lanie
