"can you get me some chips?"

you were at home, sitting by the fireplace. it was cold tonight. halloweens were mostly cold.

you were trying to read the book you were reading the day calum got into the crash. you had never picked it up again. reading it made you think of calum, so you tried to stay away. but now, you forced yourself to read it.

ashton came beside you, and sat the bag of sun chips in your lap, "thanks." you said, opening it.

"you feeling alright?" crystal asked. today she was over with michael. since it was your due date today, everyone was making sure you had everything you needed.

mostly kids weren't born on their due dates, but today your stomach hurt like it never had before. you knew the babies were either coming today or tomorrow.

"anyone seen those stupid car seats?" michael asked, pacing around the house, leaving no stone unturned.

"they're in the nursery mikey!" you yelled out, stuffing your face again.

all of a sudden, you felt like you had peed yourself. groaning you threw the blanket off of you, and stood up.

like you had suspected, the couch was wet.

"shit. my water just broke." you said, putting your book and chips down on the table.

and in a snap, ashton was picking up the diaper bag. michael was pulling the car around. luke was helping you out to the car. everyone was rushing, trying desperately to do something.

it felt like you had just blinked. but there you were. lying in the hospital room, pushing out two children.

ashton was by your side, taking the place of calum. calum was still in the coma, but slowly, he was coming out of it. every day, he moved a little. at first it was just little hand movements. but now his eyes would open, and he could look around.

soon enough you heard the sharp cries of a baby. you almost thought you were done, but then you remembered you were having twins.

"when calum wakes up, i'm smacking him for doing this to me." you joked through contractions.

ashton chuckled, "just focus."

it was nighttime now. your babies had been sent to the nursery to be washed and fed while you rested.

a few hours ago, michael and crystal had gone home. along with luke and ashton's girlfriends. leaving you with just the boys, watching football on the television.

currently your nurse was checking in on you. making sure your heart was beating fine, and your blood pressure was stable. normal things.

"are you the father?" she asked, looking over at ashton.

he smiled, "oh no ma'am. i'm her brother. her the father is in a coma right now."

"oh." her facial expression dropped, "i'm so sorry. what's his name?"

"calum hood." you said, taking a bite of your dinner.

"wait, wasn't he in a coma for almost a year?" she stopped doing what she was doing to talk, a look of surprise over her face.

"he still is but he's getting better."

she chuckled, "well i guess you wouldn't know. you were just giving birth after all."

"what what?" you asked.

"well miss, your boyfriend. well, he woke up. i was his nurse today, and while i was changing his iv, he just shot up. he's moving almost perfectly."

"holy shit."

ashton was sprinting down the hallways, pushing you in a wheelchair with him. you were still weak from labor, so you decided to go in a wheelchair.

luke was following beside you, opening large doors for ashton, and pushing people out of the way.

tears were stinging your eyes. they weren't sad tears though. they were quite happy tears.

finally you got to the right room, and luke pushed it open.

"please let me see her."

tears cascaded down your face at the sound of his voice. after a year of not hearing it, it was almost like a dream.

ashton pushed you further, and there he was. sitting up in bed, letting the doctor give him a shot.

his eyes glanced over at where you were, but then looked back at the doctor.

realizing what he had just saw, he had to do a double take.

"shit." he said, pushing the doctors hand out of the way, jumping out of the bed.

with wobbly legs you got up too, throwing your arms around his shirtless torso.

"i thought you'd never wake up." you cried. luke and ashton were around him too. all of you hugging tightly to calum.

looking up into his eyes made you melt. you almost couldn't bear to look into them. it was like seeing him coming home from your, but better.

"i missed you so fucking much."
