The pain that Samantha felt was excruciating but it somehow helped to have EJ there with her. From the look on his face you would have thought he was the one about to give birth. He held her hand, helped her breath, and kept her surprisingly calm as one at a time the children were delivered.

First came the baby boy. He came out with a head full of dark hair and a scream that was strong and clear. Following by only a couple of minutes came the beautiful baby girl with hair the color of Samantha's. Even though they had scrunched up tiny red faces and were covered in something EJ just did not want to know about, they were the most beautiful babies he had ever seen. The doctor even allowed him to cut the cords. I mean could there be a greater honor.

As he looked over the two precious gifts, he realized he would have given anything and everything for them to have been his, but if he walked away with nothing he would still have this memory. He had been there for the delivery and had helped Samantha bring them into this world and no one could ever take that away from him.

Samantha was exhausted but beaming as EJ walked to her holding two tiny little lives, one wrapped in blue and the other in pink, and laid them in her arms. She cried as she looked upon their angelic little faces and knew the pain that EJ must be feeling. He wanted these children so much and she knew his heart ached with disappointment.

Neither said anything for the longest time, just sat and looked at the children until the nurse came to take them away. She said that they would be brought to Samantha's room soon but for now she needed to be taken back there for rest.

After arriving back in the room, Samantha struggled to stay awake and while he admired her for her bravery he laid his hand on her cheek and simply stated, "Sleep, now. I will be right here." And she drifted into a much needed slumber with the feeling of his hand gently stroking her hair.

When Samantha awoke she wanted to laugh. EJ was curled up in the recliner draped by a blanket that was way too short and the smile that he had on his face while he slept was probably the most gorgeous thing she had ever seen. Except for the new babies of course. She sighed as she scooted to a sitting position not wanting to awaken him but he, at the slightest movement on her part, sat up with a start.

"Hello" she smiled.

"Hello to you to. How are you feeling?" he asked

"Like I just gave birth to the two most beautiful babies in the world." She winced

"You did, my love, you most certainly did" he rose to come to her side and smoothed back the hair that fallen over her eyes. He needed to see those wonderful blue eyes of hers.

Just as she started to speak, Dr Adams, walked in the room. He had a look on his face that worried Samantha. Something was wrong. "Oh God, no what is wrong with my babies " her mind screamed and she grabbed EJ's hand for support.

"Dr Adams, is there a problem?" EJ demanded. Not liking the look on Samantha's face or the doctors for that matter.

"Not a problem per se, sir. Just some confusion on my part that I need to clarify." He stammered not wanting to incur this mans rage.

"Well, spit it out man, can you not see that you have Samantha terrified?" EJ barked

Samantha had remained perfectly still, her eyes locked on the doctor.

"Yes sir" the doctor answered and pulled up the rolling seat to the side of Sami's bed.

"Mrs. Roberts, it seems that there are several reports in your file that are incorrect. When you were admitted, you may remember filling out the form listing your information along with that of the father?" he stated

"Yes, of course I do. What seems to be the problem with that?" she was growing more worried by the second.

"In my practice, I make it a habit to always run tests on newborns to ensure complete accuracy and of course I compare the information I gather with that in file. In your file, there were conflicting DNA requests, one stating a Mr. EJ Wells as the father, then one stating a Mr. Lucas Roberts as the father a few weeks later. Now. I bring my own lab technicians with me and they ran this information again for clarification on my part as it is rare that I encounter two contradicting DNA tests in one file." He looked intently at both Samantha and EJ.

They in turn were looking at each other both seeming to hold their breath, not fully understanding what was to come.

EJ recovered first and asked, " So what information did you conclude from the tests your people ran?"

"Well, sir and ma'am. I am sorry to say that Mr. Roberts, you are not the biological father of these children. It seems that the children were fathered by Mr. Wells." He stated and waited for the information to take hold.

"But, I am Mr. Wells." EJ managed to get out and looked at Samantha who was white as a sheet.

"Excuse me, I thought you were her husband, Mr. Roberts" the doctor was thoroughly confused.
