-Prologue-
Our story begins the early hours of March 5th, 2013, in a hospital room,located in the sleepy town of Ipswich, Mass...
"OK, mom-to-be, we need you to take a deep breath and push one more time."
Orders the elderly doctor as he peeks over the sheet at the young lady. Her blond hair plastered to her forehead, her blue eyes, closed in pain.
"You're doing great, Ink."
Encourages the dark-haired, brown eyed, man next to her, as he brushes her hair off her gleaming face. The couple were in they're early to mid-20's, good-looking and wealthy(hence the private room and million dollar doctor.) She pushes hard as the room is filled with a calm silence, before,
"Waah..."
crying irrupts from beneath the sheet. The man and his wife sigh in relieve.
"Congratulations, Mr. And Mrs. Danvers, It's a boy!"
exclaims an overly zealous Nurse as she takes the baby to the small wash bay. Caleb looks in awe at his son, but his attention is soon directed back toward his wife when an agonizing scream is heard. The doctor and nurses rush over to her aide. A harsh whisper sounds from the doctor,
"Why didn't anyone tell me she was having twins!"
Caleb's face pales in worry as Sarah is asked to begin pushing again...
Meanwhile , in the hospital waiting room, 4 adults anxiously waited to hear any news about their friends...
A pretty young red head, sat feeding her 2 month old son, watching as her husband pace in front of a window.
"Riddle, come and sit down , before you ware a hole in the floor."
She says with a smile, her hazel eyes twinkling as she gazes down at their son.
"She has a point, its not like we don't know its going to be a boy. So where are you so antsy?"
questioned a mocha skinned beauty, who held a squealing 4 month old in her arms, his little tuft of dirty blond hair sticking up, his brown eyes filling up with tears,
"Shh. Its ok , Holden. Daddy will be right back"
Cooed the lady.
The man, stops and looks back at the women, huffs and plops down next to the red head, smiling down at the baby in her arms,
"Who says I'm Antsy?"
he questions back, as he takes his drowsy, hazel eyed, blond barely there haired, son and burps him,
"Because, your always antsy Reid, you never needed a reason before, why start now, right."
joked the Brunette, sitting across from him, as she rocked a car seat with her foot, lulling her 6 month old son, to sleep, her blue shining with mischief, as she looked towards Reid.
"If you weren't..."
Reid began glaring playful, before he was interrupted,
"You wouldn't be threatening my wife, now would ya, Garwin?"
asked His brown haired best friend, as he hands a cup to the red head, then one to his wife ,before leaning over to check on his brown haired, and blue eyed baby,
"Sleep tight, Charlie."
Baby boy coos softly toward his son.
"Well, Baby Boy, if you must know..."
Reid started, then paused, placing his son in a car seat, that sat between him and his wife.
"She started it."
He finished pointing, childishly towards the mocha skinned beauty.
"Hey now, don't bring Skittles into this, all she did was ask a question."
stated Reid's girl, as the remaining girls laughed.
"Thanks a lot, Clue, your so supportive."
Scoffed Reid as he turned toward Tyler.
"Now I blame you,"
He stated
"Hey! Not my fault, Kenndle's smarter then you are."
Tyler replied with a smirk, as he stole a sip from the Brunette's cup.
"WHY IS EVERYONE PICKING ON ME?!"
pouts/shouts Reid as he slouch down in the chair,
"Because you make it easy."
came a new voice,
"now shut it, before you wake the boys."
ordered Pogue( as if you didn't know) as he sat down next to Kate and his son,
"Come here big guy"
He whispered as he took the fussy , Holden, from Kate.
"But their being mean."
Reid continued to whine,
"I swear your worse then Axel, when he's hunger."
Muttered Kenndle, rolling her eyes at Reid's behavior.
"Fine, fine, we're Sarrwwy."
Cried Honor(Tyler's wife) in a baby voice,
"Forgibe us?"
she added as she stood up and walked over to Reid, with her arms up, for a hug. Reid stood up and met her half way, dragging his feet as he went. They met in the middle of the row, the others, watch in mild interest.
"Welb, Riddle?'
Honor asked in her baby voice, her arms still up. Reid stared at his feet for a few minutes, before looking up and throwing his arms around Honor.
"O'tay, Law"
He exclaims as she wraps her arms around him as, the others roll their eyes,
"Feel better now?"
Pogue asks staring at the two, as they unwrap their arms from ,each other but still hold hands and swing them back and forth,
"Es' , Wheels, All b-wetter."
They say together , with big grins on their faces. Tyler looks over at Kenndle
"Maybe , me and you should of, gotten married, that time in Vegas."
"Yeah, it would of been so much easier."
Kenndle replied back with a smile.
"While, there's still time, we're divorce these two and meet in Vegas, say in 2 months?"
Tyler questions with a smirk,
" It's a ..."
Kenndle begins but is stopped by a hand over her month,
"No, my Clue, not your Clue, my Cloo-ue."
Reid stats as he pulls her into his lap,
"Can't have, Nope, never."
He adds, as he kisses her neck, his arms now wrapped around her waist. Kenndle giggles, as Reid continues to assault her neck.
"Beside You know, I'M better in bed."
Whispers Honor as snuggles in to Tyler's lap, her head resting on his shoulder, Tyler kisses the back of her head, before saying,
" I guess, We can keep them."
"Of course, their just to cute to get rid of."
Kenndle adds as She tries to get comfy on Reid's lap.
" You four are weird."
States Kate as she laughs at their antics.
"YES, BUT YOU LOVE US THAT WAY!"
The four shout/whisper, as the last of the babies falls asleep in Pogue's arms. Pogue lays his son in the car seat at his feet, then looks up,
"I'm so glad this is a private waiting room."
Back in the delivery room . . .
"Ok, Sarah, this should be the last push."
Calls the Doctor, from under the sheet. Sarah bites down on her bottom lip and pushes, as the room falls silent. Caleb waits anxiously for the sound of crying, getting more worried with each passing second.
"And there . . . "
the doctor begins before yelling for a nurse.
"We need an incubator fast . . . "
He grabs the oxygen from the table next to him and holds it close to the new, very small baby, after he cleaned it up a bit.
"What's wrong?!"
demands a worried, very tired Sarah as a nurse brings over their first born son, handing him to Caleb, who takes him and smiles down at the small wonder
"Your daughter is very small, and is having trouble breathing, witch leads' us to believe she may have underdeveloped lungs."
Replies the nurse sadly,
"wait, Daughter, as in a girl?"
Caleb questions in amazement as he looks toward Sarah,
"Yes, Congratulations, but I must warn you, she may not live, I'm sorry."
She continues, as the doctor rushes the newborn into the incubator and out of the room, leaving the new parents heart broken and scared, cling to the baby boy in Caleb's arms.
Waiting room...
Around one am, Caleb walked int to the private waiting room , looking worn out and pale, his friends sat chatting , seemingly carefree. He heaves a big sign and walks towards them, Kate sees him and jumps up.
"So how are they, is he just the cutest, oh, What's his name?"
She began firing off question, that made Caleb want to cry, Honor notice Caleb's distress and
"KATE SHUT IT!"
She orders as everyone's eyes turn to Caleb,
"Chief, what happened?"
asked Reid as he and the other "brothers" move towards the breaking Caleb, while the girls tend to the now crying babies(Honor apologize, sheepishly for her out burst and waking them.). Caleb looked towards the girls and their healthy sons and collapsed in to a near by chair and spoke in whispers,
"Sarah had twins..."
He started out,
"WHAT!, that's amazing."
cries out the still clueless Kate as she as the girls walk over to the guys, he smiles sadly at her,
"Wait, Sarah, didn't , didn't ..."
Kenndle began to stutter as tears filled her eyes, hugging Axel close to her, Reid pulls her over to him and kisses the top of her head as the others pale and looked towards Caleb cautiously,
"NO, no, Sarah's fine, and so is our son but our, our, daughter, may die."
Caleb finished in a whisper as his tears roll down his cheek,
"Caleb, did you say daughter as in, you had a boy and a girl?"
questioned Pogue as he lays a hand as his best friend's shoulder,
"Yeah, isn't it great, I have a little girl, I'm already head over heels for and she might die."
Caleb lashed out,
"And their's not a damn thing I can do about it!"
The others stand in shock at Caleb's outburst, before
"I'm sorry, man."
Tyler replies softly as he sits down next and half hugged him,
"How the other baby doing? "
Came the soft voice of Kenndle from Reid's lap. Caleb smiled a little at the mention of his son,
"He's doing fine, him and Sarah are sleeping at the moment, and I should probably head back, in case, well I should head back, I'll send a nurse out for you when they wake up. "
He finished as he stood up and wipe the tears off his face, the girls each give him a hug and kiss on the cheek, and the guys doing their hand shake, when Caleb get to the youngest, Tyler looks at him and says,
"If she anything like her father, which I'm sure she is, she's a fighter and will be fine, just like you always are in tough situations."
Caleb looks back at him
" Thanks, Baby boy."
Caleb said one last goodbye and head back thou the door, hoping Baby boy was right.
