SARAS POV
I closed my eyes as Dally tucked my hair behind my ear, finally relaxing for the first time this evening.
"Dal what time is it?" I asked opening one eye.
"It's one in the morning ish."
"What's that suppose to mean." I giggled a bit before slowly sitting up before the boys got here.
"Just that it's around one in the morning." Dally gave me a cheeky smirk, I didn't say anything else and neither did he. To be honest I was staring a tiny bit at him, but I think he was too. I was studying his face, not like for his emotion but his structure of it. I kept thinking what our babies were going to look like, if they would have Dally's dark eyes that can flash cold looks and when they grew up have that smirk Dally always gives. I was still day dreaming about the babies when Two bit came barging in with a stupid smile on his face.
"Nice to see you alive Baby mama." He chuckled coming over to harass Dallas. After him all the boys came in, followed but Nancy last.
"Ok guys y'all aren't supposed to be here but I made the Hospital make an exception, but you all have to be quiet." She looked directly at Two bit for that one. "I'll bring in the twins, everyone will have a chance to see them but I'm kicking you out at two am." Nancy instructed all of us, all the boys nodded. As she left the boys came and asked how I was. I told them all I was sore and tired, I didn't want to explain what I was really feeling.
"So think of any names Sar?" Soda questioned me as he gave me a big hug. I froze, glancing at him to Dally.
"Oh shit, we haven't thought of names." I cried out to the boys. How could I forget to think of them, oh I'm already I crappy mom. I'm already nervous about this, I was so worried about this moment when they came into this world I haven't had time to think of names.
"Hey it's ok, you need to met em first before yay can name em." Soda reasoned but it still didn't help.
"I thought we agreed to Mickey and Minnie?" Two bit stated, all the boys and I rolled our eyes. I guess Sodapop had a point, I don't even know the genders so it makes sense. Breathe Sara, just breath it's fine..I'm overreacting.
"Guys ready?" Nancy said popping her head into the doorway.
"Stevie get your wallet out cuz I'm goin' to be taking your money." Two bit greedily told him rubbing his hands together.
"Jeez what's your deal with beatin' on things?" Dally shot Two a look but Nancy cut them off by wheeling a cart with two little babies neatly placed beside each other.
"Baby number one, born at quarter to midnight, weighing five pounds seven ounces is a boy!" Nancy broadcasted to the room carefully lifting a baby with a blue cap out and gave him to me. All the boys were ecstatic, I think they were counting on more boys in the gang. Two bit pushed Darry out of the way to try and sneak a peak at the gender of the other baby.
"Baby number two, born at eleven fifty-eight, weighing four pounds five ounces is a little girl!" Nancy squealed a bit picking the final pink cap wearing baby up and helped Dally hold it. I quickly glanced at him, he tensed when Nancy's hands left the baby and Dal was holding her on his own. After he got used to it I seen his eyes soften, as he tried to hold back a smile.
"Yeppie! I told yah Steve." Two bit hollered jumping onto Steve who was rolling his eyes.
"Ok ok shut up, take your dollar." Steve said pulling a bill from his pocket and handing it to Two. I smiled watching them, as the others gathered around Dal and I. I than looked down at my baby boy still smiling at him. He was sleeping but he had the same look of peace as Dally does when he sleeps. I could see some of Dal in the babies face but also mine. Dally handed the girl to Soda, you could see how excited Soda was to met his niece. I could tell by this moment that this little girl was going to be the kryptonite for all these guys. Two bit basically snatched the boy away from Darry, I really hated seeing everyone holding my kids but I knew they have to leave soon until visiting hours start again.
"Hiya Mickey." Two bit whispered to the baby boy. I leaned back down watching the boys and the babies. I didn't even realize it but my eyes shut, I was so exhausted. However my fast nap was cut short when one baby started to cry, which intern caused the other to. My eyes darted open, I seen Pony and Johnny red faced holding the babies.
"They just started cryin'." Pony explained, Johnny looked scared as they walked over to give them back to me. Well Johnny tired giving one to Dal but Dally looked at him with a look saying 'what the hell am I suppose to do about it'.
"I think it's best if everyone left now, the twins are probably hungry. Y'all can come back as early as eight." Nancy herded all of them out the door as they said goodbye.
"I'm not going to stay, I have to get those boys organized so I'll see y'all soon. Sara your bag is over there, and I expect my niece and nephew to have names tomorrow." Darry lectured us before he kissed my head, kissed Nancy, and walked out the room.
"Sara you'll have to feed them one at a time, at first it may be weird and no milk, but soon you'll be producing tons." Nancy explained giving Dal the baby boy, showing him to gently rock him to try ease him crying. She than came to show me how to breastfeed, Nancy gave me a crash course on feeding babies in general, while both babies got fed and dippers changed before being placed back into the cart together.
"Before I go Sara can you go pee, just want to check if you are bleeding." Nancy and Dally helped me up over to the bathroom. Boy I was so sore down there, Nancy instructed I don't irritate it but it's going to bled for awhile. She said she'll bring home extra pads since it's going to be like my period for the next two months. Dally helped me back into bed as Nancy did her last check on the twins and I.
"The babies have to be named and registered within twenty-four hours. No pressure but I'll bring the papers in and Darry can help you go through them when he comes back. Have a good night you guys." She sweetly waved and left the room. Dally pulled his chair closer to the bed taking his jacket off and shoes. I tried to move over but it was difficult.
"It's ok Sara imma sleep in the chair." He whispered going to shut the light off and leaving the one by the bed on.
"Sorry just felt bad for you sleeping on that chair." I spoke softly as Dal sat back down putting his feet up on the bed. "Dal, we need to think of names."
"Aren't you tired it's two in the morning?"
"No time they need names, please." I pleaded to him, he sighed and pulled his jacket over his core up to his neck.
"Ok shoot, just don't say nothin' sissy like." He sternly said to me.
"Ok let's just say em out loud and narrow them down to our top two girl and boy names." Dal nodded. "Let's start with boys, Dylan."
"Soc name."
"Umm Anthony."
"What are we the Mafia." Dally and I let out a laugh.
"Ok ok, Mathew."
"Absolutely not, knew someone from New York named Mathew. He wasn't very nice."
"Well than you say some because you have comments for all of mine."
"Tye."
"Sounds too much like Rye."
"Brandi."
"That's a girls name plus it's booze."
"Fine, Jackson or Jordan."
"Oh I like those. Where did Dallas Winston come up with those?" I giggled to him as Dal got embarrassed.
"I don't know, thought they sounded badass."
"Of course you did, so Jackson or Jordan for the boy. Now are we going to just think of a name or do a girls name with the first name stating with the same letter like Soda and I."
"Let's see what we can think of with 'J' first." I let out a yawn as he was talking.
"Janna."
"That's dumb, how 'bout Jayla."
"Umm no, that sounds trashy."
"Does not, plus I don't appreciate those comments hunny." Dal smirked at me and I returned it with sticking my tongue out.
"Whatever, Jamie."
"That one."
"Really?"
"Yeah I dig it, plus I think it suits my little girl." I accidentally let an Awe out, but I don't regret it as I was in love with how he called her his little girl. "What?"
"It's just cute seeing yay talk like that." I gushed at him.
"Better not tell the guys."
"Cross my heart."
"Good now can we go to bed since we have a rough idea?" Dally asked closing his eyes.
"I guess, night babe."
"Goodnight."
     
   Well the first night went ok, it was a hospital so on a good day you can't get sleep in it. Always lots of noise, people buzzing, machines beeping. I fell asleep almost instantly after Dally said goodnight, I slept solid until I heard someone yelling in the distance. It was just a nurse in another room, once I figured that out I fell right back into my deep slumber. All this lasted until the twins began to cry, god it was the worst awakening I've had in my life, and that's saying a lot after what Two does. I thought they were dying or somethin' so I shot up in bed looking at them. I had a moment of relief after I realized they must be hungry or need to be changed. Since it still was difficult for me to get out of bed I tried to wake Dally, who was sound asleep in the chair.
"Dally." I said waiting for a response, nothing. "Dallas!" My volume increased a smidge still getting no signs of alertness from him. "Dallas!" I finally yelled throwing one of my pillows at him, he jumped from being hit.
"What the hell was that for?" He furrowed his eyebrows at me.
"I need help getting outta bed, can't you hear them cryin'?"
"And it begins." Dal sighed getting up and drug his feet to the other side of the bed to help me get up. I went over to them as he plopped onto the bed.
"It's six in the mornin', we've only been asleep for like three hours. How they hungry again?" Dally complained rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Hold her while I feed him please." I gently handed Jamie to Dally before grabbing the other and sat back onto the bed in my spot. I started breastfeeding when Dally started to chuckle, I raise my gaze to him only to see him staring at me.
"Can I help you?" My eyebrow raises in response to Dally.
"Yeah, can you always just pull out your boobs like that?" He laughed even more.
"Watch it punk, I can always put them away." I gave him a devilish smirked. The babies were all fed and changed as I slowly walked over to my bag the boys brought yesterday. Since the gang would most likely be here in an hour and everyone else that they told, I went in to the bathroom to freshen up. God, I actually flinched when I seen my reflection. My face was all glossy with sweat, my hair was so greasy and sticking up at the back in a huge knot. A groan of annoyance left my lips as I washed my face and went pee changing the pad I had from the night before attempting to comb my hair. Usually my hair doesn't get tangled very much as it's wavy not curly but right now it was the most tangled it has been in my life. It didn't help that my hair is thick and long.
"Dal can you help me?" I called out for him, he looked disappointed when he came in. He probably thought I need help changing or showering, even though I can't shower for a day.
"Can you brush out this huge ass knot in my hair?" He sighed grabbing the brush and began to comb my hair. Every time he brushed I flinched, he wasn't a very gentle brusher but I knew my hair was pretty bad.
"Sorry." He muttered continuing to comb, I held my hands to my forehead trying not to let myself say ouch. Except I did as this one stroke the brush got caught.
"Aye!"
"I said I'm sorry, I never done this before."
"Ouch!" This continued until the knot was non existent, after that painful experience I turned to Dally.
"Know can you assist me in washing my hair?"
"Why, you look sexy like that. Plus you just pushed out two kids, I think people will understand." Dal responded by holding my face in his hands.
"Fine, but I think I should at least put underwear on if people will be coming." I spun around to dig through my bag. I found a bra, and shorts as I just don't feel like wearing pants today, placing them on the closed toilet.
"Hang on, you're tellin' me you've been completely commando this whole time?" I giggled at him as he started fooling around trying to see under the gown. He finally got a hold of me and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me close.
"Not really I'm just not wearing a bra since I have to wear pads from bleeding." I mumbled not really wanting to admit it, our gaze held before he smashed his lips onto mine. Dals hands wandered up my gown as mine tugged at his hair. A moan escaped my lips when Dal squeezed my ass, I really missed these hot, intimate moments. Even though it could just be my hormones still which mad it feel ten times better, than what it actually was. You know me having to wear a pad and old panties just kinda feels like I'm ruining it.
"Dally," I hummed pulling away at a turtles pace. "We-I can't do this after yesterday."
"I know but I miss this, it's been so long." He exhaled placing his forehead on mine.
"I do too, just after all the stress my body had." I whispered kissing him one last time. "You want to go ask one of those nurses for a new gown, since you ripped the string." Dally gave me is signature smirk before he quickly left and back with a neatly folded gown.
"Better hurry they just dropped off your breakfast." Dal chuckled knowing it's going to be bad, cause it's hospital food. I made him assist putting on my shorts, than I took off my old gown. I did up my bra and Dally tied on the new gown before we exited the bathroom. Both of us sat on the bed, I inspected the food tray of oatmeal and canned fruit. I wrinkled my nose pushing it away, Dally chuckled grabbing the fork and handing it to me.
"You need to eat."
"So do you. Maybe the boys will bring somethin' from the Dingo."
"You still need to eat cuz technically your still feedin' three." Dally gave me a pleading look to eat.
"Whatever but you have to try it and feel my pain." I ripped the fork from his hand and took small bites trying not to throw up from the cold oatmeal. When I was about halfway done the bowl I could hear Two bit shouting down the hall, a smile broke on my face. Two was still a ways away so while I waited for him to come bouncing in the room I made Dally try some oatmeal. His facial expression is what I felt like when I ate the cold oatmeal, he gave up but I forced him to eat the same amount. Let's just say it was pay back for him forcing me to eat it, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
"Sir visiting hours aren't for another twenty minutes." I heard one of the nurses at the desk of front say.
"Awe come on babe I won't tell." Two bit chuckled trying to persuade the nurse. They continued to argue but than I heard her threaten she'd call security and I began to laugh. Eventually he came in with a pissed look on his face.
"Stupid broad don't know she's keepin' me from seeing my Mickey and Minnie." Two said pulling out a paper bag from the Dingo out of his jacket handing it to Dally. "Plus I figure y'all would like some grease." Two laughed before going over to the babies and started talking to them. Dally handed me one of the Dingos famous egg and bacon biscuits. I nodded in gratitude as I was already taking a bite out of it, and enjoying that this has actual taste unlike the hospital breakfast.
"Oh yay, ma said she's comin' later with Izzie. Also I'm pickin' up Elle after she's done work." Two said not turning away from the twins.
"I didn't know Eleanor had a job." I mumbled as I was chewing, Two muttered something but than ignored it as he was occupied.
"Least we know which one isn't a three year old." Dally whispered taking my garbage to over to the trash can by the door. I shook my head at him, it doesn't mean Two bit being immature is the reason he doesn't work. Just more of a he doesn't want to and he really could go to work but they probably would fire him after they see him drinking.
"Well Good morning." Dr. Harris greeted knocking on the doorframe before inviting himself in, he was followed by Nancy. "I see you already have a visitor."
"Yeah right at eight." I responded to him, I don't want the nurse to get in trouble for Twos stubbornness earlier.
"I'm just here to do morning check on you and the twins. Also go over some recovery things, I'd usually wait since you're brother isn't here but I think you are old enough." He explained coming over to check my chart and asked about the night. I explained it and when babies ate last.
"Two bit can you step outside for a moment, I'll let you back in as soon as Doctor Harris is done checking on Sara." Nancy smoothly eased Two from the babies and out the door. Doctor Harris did his check to make sure down there was looking ok after yesterday. After he was done I told Nancy she better like Two in before he breaks the door down. She opened the door as the doctor began explaining my recovery.
"As you know you were a high risk patient so you probably won't be discharged for at least a day. You should be sore for awhile no need to worry, and will be bleeding for quite awhile. Take aspirin at home for discomfort, Nancy can also  give you other tips too. Major thing is watch for excessive bleeding and avoid disrupting that general area. Therefore it's a good idea to avoid sexual intercourse for eight weeks as you'll still be bleeding." He paused looking both Dal and I in the eyes. "I'll leave you guys alone probably won't see me before you leave, and I hope we don't met like this for a good year." Doctor Harris smiled, shook Dally's hand and left. Dear god, did he seriously say those things.. I turned to Two bit who was red faced holding in his laugh before literally bursting out. He was laughing so hard he was gasping for air and sitting on the floor. I swore I saw Nancy holding back a giggle too, but I turned to Dally.
"We shoulda left him outside for that." He simply stated before we joined in on the laughing. After a good ten minutes Nancy was long gone and Two was finally calmed down enough to speak.
"Poor Dally has to wait another eight weeks before y'all can make more twins." He smirked wiping his eyes, expect as he said this Darry, Johnny, and Pony walked in.
"No ones making more twins." Darry boomed in the room, Two went back to laughing and took it upon himself to explain in his words what the Doctor told us. Pony and Johnny got pretty uncomfortable as I rolled my eyes smacking my palm to my forehead. Thank god Nancy came back and went to Darry to clear up some of the things Two bit told him up. At times I love Two bit, others I don't...and this was one of those times.
"Y'all give my niece and nephew a name yet?" Darry asked still having a disapproving expression on his face after the whole Two thing.
"Sure do, just don't know which." I replied finally being able to change the subject from my bleeding vagina.
"Oh let's hear! Cause I'll go get the forms while Darry's here." Nancy vibrated in excitement.
"Jamie for the girl, Dally really liked that name. However we can't pick between Jackson and Jordan." I smiled at Darry and Nancy.
"Both are cute, I got to go I'm being paged so tell me later and I'll send nurse in with papers." Nancy kissed Darry bye and waved to all of us leaving the room.
"I still like Mickey." Two muttered holding my son in his arms.
"It's your kid." Darry said plainly, I could sense he was doing that thing were he tries to be all wise, you know teaching responsibility and such. I knew Dally liked either so I looked at Johnny and Pony for their input.
"I-I agree with Darry." Johnny stuttered face growing red.
"Jordan, because you don't want other kids giving yours the nick name jackass or somethin' like that." Pony shrugged grabbing Jamie and bring her over to were Johnny was sitting.
"Ponyboy!" Darry hissed at him.
"Kids got a point." Dally and I shared a glance, I knew what I was thinking and I think he'd agree too. I smiled at him knowing wha to have come up with, I just hope Dally liked it and Darry.
"Ok so how about Jamie Shaynne Winston." I looked at Darry to see if he liked me naming my kid after his middle name. He smiled in return so I assume it's ok, I just feel like Darry's some so much and is so stressed with all of us he needs recognition. This shows how much I appreciate him being understanding of me dating Dally never mind having his kids. 
"And Jordan Johnny Winston." I cracked a smile as I said it out loud, it just felt right. Dallas loves Johnny so much and even though he'd never admit it that'll be his way of showing Johnny his love by honouring him. Dally nodded before going over to Johnny in the corner looking shocked.
"I think you picked great names." Darry got up to hug me and kissed my head.
"I'm still calling em Mickey and Minnie." Two chuckled refusing to give Jordan to Dally. A nurse came in and handed a few papers and pen to me. I let Darry read over them all and fill them out. All Dal and I had to do was sign.
"I'll drop the certificates off when I go drive Pony and Johnny at school." Darry placed the papers on the side table by my bed.
"So these tell what the baby's names will be?" Two questioned edging closer to them.
"You stay away from those Mathews." I lectured but Two gave an evil laugh causing us to all burst out laughing at him.
  Darry soon left with the boys to get them to school, which I thought was unfair since they are excited for the babies. It's new, for most of us the last baby was Izzie, Twos sister like six years ago. I guess they still need to go to school and life needs to keep going so I can see were Darry's coming from. No one else really stopped by until the afternoon and early evening when most people get off work. Shepard brought his whole gang for an hour to see the twins, Dally and him talked the whole time. I swear those two are like a married couple, always fighting but yet still friends. It gets confusing keeping up with their drama, like I thought the still were mad about their issue revolving how Tim tricked Dally into selling drugs for him. Whatever I'm betting I'll hear all about what Tim had to say when he leaves from Dal. Anyways after Shepard's gang left the babies began to get hungry so I told Two bit to scram. He said he'll grab Eleanor early along with Steve and Soda.
  I literally just got decent after feeding the babies when Darry returned with Mrs.Mathews and Izzie. Mrs.Mathews had knitted two little baby quilts, one pink and one blue. Both had little birds on them, I didn't know how Mrs Mathews knitted them so fast but she did. Izzie was proud she Mrs. M told us Izzie designed it. As Darry and her were deep in conversation when Joe, Max, and Annie trotted in. Max finally was released from jail. Joe gave me a kiss on the check and a congratulations. Annie handed me a card she made for Dal and I, she also talked non stop while Joe went over to Darry and the babies. She said we need to come for more tea parties, Dally rolled his eyes but she soon got distracted by the twins. Max talked with Dally about any topic not related to babies. You could tell Dal was enjoying their conversation. Soon Two returned with Eleanor, Steve, and Soda. Mrs.Mathews visited with her son and Eleanor before she left with Izzie. Nancy popped in for a few minutes and left again. Finally Ponyboy, Johnny, and Katie got here from taking the bus here for school and got to visit everyone. When visiting hours were done everyone had to leave, Dally walked them out while Darry stayed behind for a minute.
"You know I didn't think you guys could do it." He randomly stated. "Just how much both you and Dallas have changed over these past months is incredible. Except you still don't trust him do you?"
"I do trust him, you don't."
"Sara when he walked in the door as you were giving birth both of you froze. And you kept repeating 'please don't leave' the whole time until Dallas grabbed your hand." I can't believe he heard that, I didn't mean for annoying to hear.
"I do trust him but I know my Dally. He'll never change, he still gets spooked..hell I get spooked still. If I weren't the one on that bed I woulda ran."
"You should be able to rely on him."
"He's trying Darry, yesterday he called Jamie his little girl. Dallas is doing his best and I love him for that. Besides I wanted to run a few times too so it's not just him." I shot back at Darry. Yeah sure I still am cautious with Dally, I know he won't change but will try. I don't even want him to change that much I love him for his wildness, but secret kindness.
"Ok, but if you feel like you want extra help after that one week you don't have to move out." Darry pulled me into a hug before he whispered. "Either way, I know Mom and Dad would be proud." Tears streamed down my face thinking of how they never got to see the babies, their grandchildren. Never going to be able to take them out for ice cream or see them grow up.
"Oh Darry I miss em so much." I cried squeezing him tighter.
"We all do." He pulled away, you could see he was on the verge of crying so he wiped his eyes and handed me some tissues.
"I'll see you tomorrow Sara, goodnight." Darry left to take the gang home, I just sat and waited for Dally. Being alone caused my mind to wander, I realized my kids would never met them, feel their warmth as soon as they came into the same room as you. My crying continued until I heard Dally's concerned voice cursing 'what the fuck did Darrel say'.
"Nothin' just that Mom and Dad would be proud of me." He shut the main light off just like last night and took his shoes off. Dal gave me a hug, I pulled him so he would come sleep with me on the bed. He did so, I continued to cry even though Dally wrapped himself around me and was cooing soft words in my ear. That's how I fell asleep, until the alarm of feeding time was rung by the twins.
