Life after!
February 16th 2001
I awoke to darkness and utter silence, I was confused at first then reality hit me. I remember giving birth to the twins, then almost nothing. I felt my now flat stomach it went away so fast, I fumbled around trying to locate the nurse call button, it took some time, but I got it. I pressed it and waited I was mentally begging for the nurse to hurry.
"Lillian my dear, your awake you gave us all a frightening scare," Nurse Spex said as she filled a glass with Water from the pitcher.
"Babies," I rasped out my hands still on my flat belly.
"They are doing better since we put the boy with the girl in the same incubator, now she is also doing much better," Nurse Spex said handing me the water.
She turned on the lights slowly letting my eyes adjust, I drank the water my throat felt better with the cold liquid.
"Where is everyone," I said looking around from my friends and family.
"Some are at school and some are at work," Nurse Spex said.
"But today isn't a school day," I said giving her an odd look she was old but in crazy.
"You have been in a coma for nearly two days," Nurse Spex said with a concerned look.
"Shit can you call my mother, Josie Stronghold and Willow Peace please?" I asked letting out a sigh.
"I will go right now, Mr. Peace should wake soon to if he hasn't already," Nurse Spex said.
"What is wrong with Warren?" I asked a hint of worry colored my tone.
"Your bond is so strong, when you stopped breathing his body did the same," Nurse Spex said sadly.
She walked out and I looked around the room, I saw a phone lying there so I carefully grabbed it. I didn't want to mess with the tubes coming out of my hands. I dialed the number and hoped she would answer I didn't even know the time.
"Hello is Lily okay? Are the twins okay?" Layla rambled on.
"It's Lillian I am awake, what time is it?" I asked not knowing was killing me.
"We are on our way," she said hanging up, shit what time it is. I let out a long sigh I felt like dirt someone has been trampling on.
30 Minutes later
I saw my mother rush in followed by Josie and Willow, all stopping near my bed. My mother gave me a kiss on the head so did Josie and Willow. They looked so happy maybe they are happy I didn't die crazier shit has happened.
"What happened, I don't remember shit," I said everything still foggy.
"You started to bleed out they lost you for a few minutes, but you are a fighter. You had to have a hysterectomy and four blood transfusions before they stabilized you," my mother said.
"Warren went into a coma the moment you stopped breathing. He fell to the floor, because he couldn't breathe, so he should wake soon," Willow said with pure relief.
"Babies," I said.
"They are doing very well they haven't had any further health problems. They are doing great even if they don't have names." Josie said.
"Good when can I see them," I said.
"When we get you cleaned up," Willow said.
"We got this," Jennifer said from the door with all my friends standing behind her.
One hour later
I was clean my hair washed and brushed nicely, I had a clean hospital gown on. Layla wheeled me to the NICU to finally see my twins. I was nervous what if I wasn't a good mother, what if I dropped one of them.
"What if I fail as a mother," I said to myself.
"You will be a great mother Lillian," Lash said squeezing my hand.
"What if I drop one," I said again.
"You won't," Dice chimed in giving Lash a dirty look.
Dice wheeled me in while everyone waited at the doors watching through the open doors. I was put in front of an incubator with two small bundles wrapped in pink and blue. I watched them sleep for a few minutes when someone spoke.
"We didn't know their names would you mind telling us so we know what to call them," A nurse with a kind voice said.
Everyone walked in they also had been waiting for this sense I found out it was a boy and girl.
"I want to make it clear no one tells my mate their names, I want to be able to do that," I said and Willow, Dice, Angelo, Jennifer and the rest gave their word they wouldn't tell. And everyone else knew not to cross me, or there would be hell to pay.
"I don't care if anyone likes their names I do! The boy's name is Ares Warren Peace," I said. I watched the nurse write his name on the blue crib card.
"The little girl's name is Serenity Nevaeh Peace," I said and the nurse wrote her name on the pink crib card placing it in front of Serenity.
"Beautiful," Dice said holding my hand rubbing small circles on the back of my hand.
"I love them," Willow said.
"I like them," my mother said I knew she didn't like the whole Warren Peace as his middle and last name.
"I think Warren would love them too," Layla said.
"They haven't had any trouble with breathing or eating the male eats more than his sister." the nurse said.
"I knew I find you in here, Lillian your still very pale," Doctor Spex said.
I smiled as Dice helped me into a rocking chair; I could tell he was blocking all Lashes' attempts to help me. The nurse handed me Ares, I cradled his small head and neck. I removed his blue hat to see dark brown hair; it was the same color as Warrens. Ares opened his newborn eyes and dark brown eyes with aqua flecks looked at me. His skin was tanner like Warrens a small whimper was heard, then next Ares repeated her cry but his cry was louder.
"They don't like being far from each other they seem to always know when the other is farther away," the nurse smiled.
She handed me Serenity in my other arm, so I was holding both of my babies. Dice removed her little pink hat she had small black curls atop her tiny head. I held her staring at the life's Warren and I made together. Then she opened her eyes, I watched her aqua eyes with dark brown flecks gaze back at me. Serenity had pale skin and smaller features like me they both had 20 fingers all together and 20 toes. I was happy that they are doing well and that I am alive to be with them.
I had tears in my eyes even when Sparrow took pictures with Dice and I with the twins.
March 9th 2001 24 days old.
The twins came home with me 15 days ago, I somehow adjusted well being a mother came so naturally. I looked pale with bags under my eyes, but I had my slim body back. The twins only awoke three times a night to be changed and have a warm bottle. They still shared the same crib they hated being separated even while sleeping. The 3 am feeding was a killer, so I started to pump my breast milk as well as breast feed it was easier for me at 3 am.
Home school was great my old teacher's came to my house, then I did work online and paper to turn in. I did all my homework while the twins napped during the day. I haven't been able to get Warren the names of the babies but I was trying. When the twins are napping or being quite I do laundry, clean and homework that is my daily routine.
Tonight the girls and I are staying at Leah's; I am getting the twins ready. Jared had already packed up my jeep with their bounce chairs and two diaper bags filled with things I would need for the night.
Willow had Warrens crib in the living room for me to use. I buckled each baby in covering them with their blankets. I lifted another diaper bag, then both car seats' before heading downstairs. Everyone offered to watch the babies so I could sleep or shower but I always declined. I didn't want to burden them, the twins had every person wrapped around the tiny fingers mostly me, Josie, Willow, Jared, Steve my female friends, male friends and my mother.
Jared helped get their car seats buckled into the base for their car seats. I slowly drove off making my way to Leah's house, I was happy.
Peace household
"Hello I am here," I called out a diaper bag and two car seats in hand.
"Lily," Leah said happy to see me.
"Give me my little man," Leah said. She took Ares from me while, Dice claimed Serenity.
"I have to run and get the some stuff for them from my jeep," I said.
"Let me help you," Willow said coming from the kitchen.
2 hours later
Sam, Sue, Cassie, Layla, Jennifer, Magenta, Sparrow, Siren, Leah plus me and the twins. Not to mention Dice, Angelo, Willow are all here at the slumber party. I watched Willow feeding Ares and I could see her younger doing it with Warren, while I breast feed Serenity. The doorbell rang and Dice went to get it while we feed the twins, I started to burp Serenity, Willow doing the same with Ares.
"Hello everyone," Bruce the judge said.
"Hello Bruce, what brings you by," Willow said cleaning Ares face he was a messy eater.
"I came to talk to you, I am glad Lillian is here," he said.
"Tomorrow at ten am I have granted her and the twin's one visit. So he can see these beautiful babies he has been distressed for a long time. And I think this is what he needs before he is not allowed to see them," he said.
"He doesn't know it's you, thinks it his mother and cousin. This will be a surprise and your only visit," he said.
"Thank you," I said sweetly.
"Great Bruce my son will be so happy he has gotten to see the at least once," Willow said with a beautiful smile.
March 10th 2001-25 days old- 8:30Am
I tossed on some lip gloss; I had on a pair of black skinny jeans, a green tang top. A pair of vans on my feet my hair done in a messy bun I didn't need to look great.
Ares had on a black little hat and the black onesie with red writing saying "Mama's boy". A pair of tiny faded jeans on and small boots on his feet. Serenity had on her tiny black hat and the black onesie with "Daddy's Girl," in red. A small pair of vans on her tiny feet the very same I was wearing.
Maxville Prison
I pulled the diaper bag across my chest, and with a baby in each arm. There are no car seats allowed so I was carrying them, as they slept in my arms. I knew at this moment in time, I was holding the world in my arms.
"Lillian Williams for Warren "Warlord" Peace," the guard called in a whisper.
"Thank you," I whispered back.
"I will be waiting honey," Dice said in a whisper as he drove me today.
We walked through the long halls leading out into the warm open court yard; I walked through the door leading to the courtyard. I had to take a couple deep breathes before I walked out there to see him, I walked out.
I saw Warren his head down as he was lost in thought; I walked up to the bench. He never noticed me standing looking at him, I gave a mental sigh. He still didn't look up so now it was my turn to get his attention.
"Hello Warren," I said and his head snapped up at the very sound of my voice.
"The judge thought you needed at least to see them once, and I agreed you needed to see them once," I said. His eyes softened he was expecting his mother. His dark eyes looking at me then the two blanket wrapped bundles in my arms.
I sat at the table next to him sense it was the only spot, with the twins in my arms.
"Warren this is your daughter Serenity Nevaeh Peace, she weights 5p and is 15in long," I said.
"It's a beautiful name," Warren said his voice soft.
"Hold her I only have this one visit," I said. I handed our daughter to her father; he held her protecting her little neck.
I watched him count her finger and toes; he removed her little hat exposing her black curls.
"She has your hair," he said.
At his voice she opened her eyes and he smiled a very loving smile as he looked at his only daughter.
"She has your eyes too but with small flecks of brown," he said in awe.
"Yes she had my eyes," I said.
Ares started to cry then Serenity followed suit with her own whimpers. I smiled as Warren looked at the two not knowing what to do.
"Let me have Serenity they don't like being separated," I said I held them together in my arms until they fell back asleep.
"Wow, is it always like that?" he asked.
"Always," I replied.
"Here this big boy is your son, he weights 8p and 2oz now and he is 29in longs," I said handing Warren our son.
He held Ares he counted his fingers and toes, he removed his black hat showing dark brown hair. He looked at Ares clothes and gave a slight chuckle, faded jeans and boots.
"Does he have a name?" Warren asked.
"Oh shit, sorry little man is, Ares Warren Peace," I said.
"You gave him my name and they both have my last name," Warren was shocked.
"I did," I said like it was simple.
"He looks like my baby pictures," he said as Ares opened his dark brown eyes with small aqua flecks in them I watched Warren smile.
"How are you Warren?" I asked.
"I am good, but your father really hates me at this point," Warren side looking at me sideways.
"How would you feel if another man hurt Serenity like you did to me?" I asked.
"I would fucking kill him slowly," he said without thought.
We sat in silence for a few minutes; I removed two warm bottles from the warmer in the diaper bag, and two burping cloths. I put a burping cloth over Warrens shoulder, I handed him a warm bottle. I gently put the bottle near Serenity's mouth she reached for it, with her mouth alerting me she was in fact hungry. She ate and I watched Warren copy me with Ares who had more milk then Serenity.
"Is this milk or the formula stuff?" Warren questioned.
"Breast milk," I answered.
"Yum," he said with a smile as he looked at my larger breast, with a look of longing. And I felt his want and need to have me right here on the table, I sighed both mentally and physically.
"Your too pale, you look so tired and too skinny," Warren said.
"I am tired, doing this by myself isn't a walk in the park, and I have always been pale. I don't think I am that skinny Warren," I said.
"I am sorry I fucked up and you're raising them alone, I should be doing this with you every step of the way. We should be a family but I had to fuck it up," he said with self-hate.
"Yes you did, but what's done is done no use being mad over it," I said.
"You almost died Lillian; I wanted to die with you. All I could do is watch while blood poured from you, and you looked dead," Warren said with his voice cracking.
"I made it, and we made two perfect babies," I said fondly.
"You did it all I did was try and kill you three every chance I had," he said with venom.
"It takes two to make babies and we made two. No matter what Warren you are their father," I said looking him in the eyes.
"Thanks for everything, I don't deserve you or them," he looked at the twins.
"I don't know myself Warren, I just don't. All I know is, I love our babies and I have tried to stop loving you, but I still do love you very much," I said.
"I will always love you more than my own life; I love you more now than ever. I love the twins so much and I'll miss ya'll so fucking much," he looked so sad.
Our time was almost up I stood up looking in the bag for my camera. I handed Serenity to her father, as he held both of them in his muscular arms he smiled as I snapped a picture. The guard took a picture of Warren with his arms around me he was holding our boy while I had our sweet girl.
"Be good Warren, and I will see you in 12 years, because our times up," I said sadly.
"I will wait until then, maybe you'll still love me then," Warren said.
"Love like ours doesn't fade over time or distance, but doesn't mean we will ever get back together. I don't know if I can get pass things you have done," I said.
I watched as hurt, jealousy and rage crossed him face.
I put the bag across my chest and walked over to him wrapping my arm not holding Serenity around his thick waist. His arm instantly around my waist, I laid my head on his chest with tears rolling down my face, he pulled me tight to his chest.
I pulled away when the bell rang and he handed me Ares, he kissed my lips softly.
"Goodbye Warren," I said with tears cascading in a steady flow down my face.
"Goodbye Love," he looked pained and his eyes were glossy as he looked at me and the twins.
I walked away with the twins leaving; Warren was standing there until he was taken back to his room.
"Always Lillian always," Warren called out.
I turned and smiled
"I will remember," I said walking through the door to Dice who was waiting for us.
