chapter fifteen;

August 29, 1980
New Orleans, LA

"I'm glad we don't have a show tonight. That means I get to spend today and tomorrow with my family," he said as he motioned the twins closer to us.

I snuggled up close to Roger, and had Holly in my arms. I laid down and closed my eyes for a few minutes until a wave of uneasiness shocked my body.

I got off the bed quickly and got a strong feeling in my stomach.

Shit a contraction, but one I never felt before.

"Ow, ow, ow-" I breathed heavily, a few tears strolled down my cheeks.

"Maddie are you alright?" Roger asked worriedly.

Just then I looked down and saw I was wet.

Shit. My water broke.

"Oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital. The babies are coming," Roger panicked.

He grabbed the twins and my hospital bag and helped me out the door. He quickly told the boys that I was in labor and they said they would keep the twins for Roger and I and bring them over later when they came.

"Alright Maddie let's go, we don't have much time," Roger said as he guided me out the entrance of the hotel.

Twenty minutes later.

Roger and I arrived at the nearest hospital. By the time I reached the entrance, nurses rushed over with a wheelchair and rolled me down the hall with Roger following behind us.

I was having horrible contractions, more than I had with Ben and Holly.

"Alright, help her onto the bed please Mr. Taylor," one of the nurses said. Roger nodded and helped me on to the bed.

"Ow ow- OW!" I cried out as I laid down on the bed.

"Alright Mrs. Taylor, I'm going to check how dilated you are. Please don't freak out," the nurse said.

I nodded and threw my head back from the pain. These twins are going to be the death of me I swear. 

"We'll have to wait about ten more minutes, you're almost there but not quite," she said.

I closed my eyes, trying to pretend the pain wasn't there. It was, but I felt a hand squeeze mine. As the tears strolled down my face, I looked up at Roger who was there with me the whole way.

Ten minutes later.

"Alright, you're ready to deliver. I'm going to need you to take deep breaths in and out, then push as hard as you can," the nurse said.

I nodded and took a deep breath in, and out. I pushed as hard as I could, squeezing Roger's hand as I did.

"One more push for the first baby, just like you did," she said.

I heard crying, but I pushed as hard as I could one more time on the first baby girl that was born.

"Alright, two big pushes for the second girl," she said.

I did the same thing I did on the first girl, I took deep breaths then pushed as hard as I could.

"She's almost out," Roger said as he rubbed my back.

I took one more huge breath in and pushed.

"Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" The nurse asked Roger.

He nodded and went to do that. He followed the nurses to the weighing and cleaning area and came back with two baby girls in both his arms.

He handed one to me and I started crying my eyes out. I did it, two sets of twins pushed out of my body.

"Now let's discuss baby names," Roger chuckled as he looked at the both of them.
