A Kiss of Goodbye

49: Not Now

Gregg's POV

                     I watched the doctor and the nurses tapped my babies and heard them cried. I can't explain the feeling of finally becoming a father. I turned to look at my love as I was satisfied to hear my babies' voices I didn't notice she was already struggling. "Aevey!" I screamed loud enough to get the attention of the staff who were busy attending to my twins.

                      The doctor moved to my side and I moved away in horror. The beeping of her monitor is slowly beating and on and off it goes until it beeps straight. My heart is racing a million miles as the doctor and nurses tried to revive her. They performed CPR and a defibrilator is being prepared. Epinephrine please the doctor ordered and they shot her with a single dose, few seconds still unresponsive. "100 Joules ready... Clear!" The sound of electricity making contact with her body is terrifying.

                       I can feel my knees so weak and trembling and I am on the verge of crying. I can't lose her, not now! She has to see our beautiful babies. We are still getting married. I couldn't live my life without her. "Fight Aevey!I love you and I can't live a life without you! You have to see how beatiful our babies are!" I have managed to shout my heart out sounding like a lost animal although they paid me no mind.

                      They all looked so desperate to revive her and tried everything they can and they know but she's still not here. The doctor stopped with a weight on her shoulder in a sign of defeat. (Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep..) Her life monitor sounded and it's the best beat I have ever heard in my life, I am now crying.

                       We froze in surprise and turned to look at the monitor. When the beeping was consistent and steady the doctor confirmed that she made it. They hugged one another and tapped my shoulder and my back. The checked her vital signs and recorded it. One by one they went out of the room. I almost totally forgot about our babies. The nurse informed me that they are now in the nursery.

                          I instantly move to Aevey's side still unconsious but is now stable. "My love please don't do it again you are scaring me." I lifted her free arm and caressed her hand stroking it on my cheek like a little boy. I kissed her forehead before heading out so hesistant to leave her side but I have to take care of our babies as well. I was not able to call anyone close to us because things happened so fast I almost lost her.

                           I filled up and signed some forms for her room transfer. I informed them that I'd wait for Aevey to wake up, she decides who is Atlantis and who is Akker. This time I have managed to call her parents and my parents. Mrs. Dounhil was so terrified of the news and cried over the phone when she heard it. My parents were worried and heartbroken too. They all rushed to the hospital right on time Aevey gained back her consciousness.

                        "Honey, I am so sorry I was not with you on your delivery." Her mother started to sob while his father comforted her mom. We gave them lone time together. Me and my parents excused ourselves first and head to the nursery to see our babies. They are peacefully sleeping. The doctor said that both of them are in good condition but they needed to be nursed in few hours with Aevey's milk. "Congrats son! They are so beautiful." My dad hugged me, I could see him teary eyed and wiped it while his head is against mine. He planted a kiss
at the back of my head. My mom was the second to congratulate me and I could see her joy and excitement as she saw her grandsons. She was also in tears and I was in tears too I didn't notice.

                    We head back to Aevey's room, after few hours they needed to leave as the visiting hours ended.
