Lost In You

Chapter 52: Living Without You

Gabby's POV

"I know you can do this, just squeeze my hands as hard as you need to." I kissed Reagan's forehead and held on to her hands.

"Baby I can't." she cried in my chest. I took my shoes off and got on the bed behind her as I wrapped my arms around her.

"She needs to start pushing." the doctor said nodding at me.

"Alright we're gonna do this together okay?" she nodded and screamed as she pushed. I ignored the pain on my hands and held her close to me.

"You're doing so great baby, one more time okay come on, push." she nodded and kept on pushing until we heard a baby cry. She started crying and I held on tight to her.

"Almost there okay he's almost out come on one big push." she squeezed my hands and soon enough we heard the baby cry some more. The sound overtook my senses and I started crying tears of joy and so was Reagan. She held on to me still and I whispered to her.

"You did great baby." I was about to get up when the doctor sat down in front of her.

"Okay let's get this little guy out." we looked at her and Reagan said "um we did..."

"Oh honey you're having twins." I felt Reagan's body tenses up, and I grabbed her hands not knowing what to say. She pushed and as soon as the baby was out her body went numb in my hands.

"Baby you okay?" I didn't get any response and the doctor's rushed over to her. They got me up and rushed to her.

"What's going on? Why isn't she waking up?!" I screamed but no one was answering me.

"We need to get her to surgery right now!" they rushed her out and I was left in the room alone with a nurse and two crying babies.

"They're going to do everything they can. Would you like to hold your babies in the meantime?" the nurse said to me and I pulled my attention towards the kids. They were both laying there crying and I started crying with them as I grabbed one. The nurse positioned the other one in my other arms and I stood there moving side to side with them.

"Oh you guys are so beautiful" I was so emotional with them that I didn't notice Kenna and Stephanie had walked in the room and were both standing there watching me in awe.

"Twins. She had twins." I said to them and they both walked over and looked at the babies. Kenna grabbed one and Stephanie grabbed the other one and we all started awwing and gushing over how cute they looked.

"This is definitely Gabriel." I said taking him from Kenna.

"And what about him?" Stephanie asked and I shook my head. "I don't know. We weren't expecting twins. You look like a Roland to me." I said picking him up and laying him down next to his brother.

"I like Emilio." Kenna said watching them and I laughed.

"Hmm, Roland Emilio Carter." they all gasped and nodded.

"So where's Reagan?" Kenna asked and my worries came back.

"After she gave birth she just passed out in my arms and they said they had to take her to surgery I'm not sure what's going on." I explained. They were both worried but they nodded and sat down with me watching the babies until the nurse came and took them to the nicu.

We waited for about three hours anxiously until the doctor walked back in the room to us.

"Where is she?" I asked and he sat down in front of us.

"She lost a lot of blood and we did everything we could to..." my mind automatically shut him down as my heartbeat started racing. What the hell was he saying? His mouth was moving but I couldn't focus. Kenna started crying and I lost it. No, this can't be. She can't spend the last week in prison just to give birth and die before she even met our kids.
