Chap. 44: Double Surprise

(Picture of The Russell Family Above)

As I lay on Evan's chest and listen to his heart, its steady. He traces circles on my back with his fingers. I grin into his thin white t-shirt.
            "I can't wait to be married to you." Evan's deep voice low, making it deeper. "The things I want to do to you."
            I give him a look. "You can do them to me now, Silly Man."
             Evan smiles at me, lips tight together. He brushes the strands of hair out of my face.
              "I'd rather let my new wife be the one." He says with a tender smile, "I'm going to make you so happy, Princess."
              I put my hand on his. "I already am."
               As I go to kiss him, my phone begins to ring. I groan and grab my phone. It's Lucy. Of all people to call me at a time like this, of course Lucy would be the one.
               I answer grumpily. "Yes?"
               Evan chuckles, rubbing my back. I lean up and peck at his lips four or five times.
              "Brooke?!" The sound in Lucy's voice alarms me. "Oh, Brooke! You have to get to the hospital now! Renee's having an emergency c-section!"
               I get up in a flash and rush over to the counter to grab my keys. Before I start towards the front door, I realized that I don't have any shoes on. Frantically, I look around until I spot my flip-flops. I grab them and slip them on. My heart is breaking.
               "Brooke, where are you going? What happened?" Evan trails behind me.
                 I turn to Evan on the verge of tears. "Renee's in the hospital. Emergency c-section on the twins."
                  Then I am gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I run into the emergency room, spotting Lucy and the girls right away.
                  "Lucy!" I shout, running up to her in flip-flops. "Oh, my God! Any word on Renee yet? Is Brenton with her? What happened!?"
          Lucy begins to tremble, crying. Her mascra runs. Terri rolls her eyes and walks over to us.
          "We haven't heard anything yet. We're still waiting on Kayla." Terri says gruffly, "She's aiding the procedure now."
          As tears fall down my face, Tsrri hugs me. Which is rare sincrshr only hugs Stan, ever. Lucy goes into hig her but gets a glare. 
           "The baby's weight was too much on Renee's back." Lucy sniffs, "She apparently fell."
            "Well...babies."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

             Lucy flipped when I told her about the twins and the actual gender. Five hours later and she's still pissed at me. But who cares at this point, right? No one has come back to update us.
          Evan called and asked how Renee was doing. I told him. He told me that everything will be alright, I just had to have faith. So I did something that I haven't done inso long: I prayed. I prayed to God to make sure Renee would make it out okay and the babies.
          20 minutes later, Brenton came out looking like hell. He looked straight at meand lightly smiled.
           "I've got two girls." He smiles happily, "Two little dolls!"
            We all tun up snd congragulate him and hug him. All but me of course.
             "Is Renee okay?" I say worriedly.
              "Did you name the babies yet?" Lucy says excitedly "I have wonderful suggestions."
                I glare at her. "No, you don't. Shut up!"
                Brenton nods, putting hishand in his pockets. "Renee is out right now, she barely barely made it. She can't have anymore kids, Brooke. No more. I guess I should be grateful that I didn't lose my woman. I am. The babies sre in an incubator so no one can see them. Not even me. I got to name one. Renee's gonna name the other when she wakes up. The second born I named Ella Nicole Russell."
              I nod my head. " Call me when I can see her or you're going to go home."
             Brenton nods. "I will."
