Max and I sat and waited for what seemed like hours when really it was only fifteen minutes.
Everyone else came, not to long after we arrived, and had a hospital bag ready and prepared. I hadnt acknowledged them at all.
I was too busy staring at the wall waiting for the time to come. The thought about raising kids scares me but as long as I'm with her I dont mind.
A nurse with a clip board walked up to us and smiled.
"Miss Salvator is ready. We need the mother and the boyfriend."
Judith and I rose to our feet and followed the nurse quickly. She showed us to the room where Emily laid peacefully.
"Hey baby." I kissed her sweaty head softy. She smiled and winced.
"Is this really happening?" She states breathlessly
"Yes baby its happening." A smile that was almost as simular as hers.
"And we'll be here every step of the way." Judith pipped up and stroked Emily's hair out of her face.
"But not Dad.." Emily reminds us.
"We'll surprise him, sweetheart."
A doctor and two others nurses walked in. They layed out the tools and the beds for the babies to recieve their IVs.
"Alright lets get these kids out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The room was barely lit by a lamp nearby. Vivian was asleep in the crib and Emily's hand was draped over her tiny body. After she gave birth she fell asleep. They thought she flatlined but her heart kept pumping.
A gurgle came from my arms and I smiled. Alexander was playing with my chain even though he could barely see it. My phone chimed and places it to my ear.
"Hello?"
"I can't sleep man." Dustin's voice echoes back.
"What's on your mind Dus?"
"Thomas. It's all my fault that Emily got tortured and why all this feud started in the first place."
I release a sigh and put a now sleeping Alexander in the crib beside Vivian. I stepped out and shut the door gently.
"Dustin, what Thomas did to you is not your fault. You aren't gay and that doesn't have anything to do with this. Thomas is just sick."
"Ok, but how are we going to stop him?"
"You and I both know what has to be done. You need to kill him."
Silence filled the other end and I sat and waited patiently. Without another word, Dustin ends the call. I sigh and looked at my family through the window.
My heart fills with hate as my eyes catch site of Emily's broken hand. That fucker hurt my family, not only my brother but my future wife. I wanted to be the one to kill him but this was Dustin's fight.
I open the door and Emily wakes up slightly. I smiled but she frowned.
"What's wrong?" She whispers
"You read right through me." I climb into the bed beside her and spoon her backside.
"Christian?" I say nothing as I lay my head on hers. She sighed but held my arms around her tighter.
"Get some rest baby. We'll talk about it when we get home."
She snuggles in closer to me and her bare back rubs against my front. The smell of honey fills my nose and I close my eyes.AN:
