In the Morning, Reba woke up to streak of sunlight that came off the glass building next door. Reba could heard Melinda and Jack talking about what would happen later that day.
"Dad, I scared," Melinda said as she paced up and down the room making her father dizzy.
"Linda why in the world are you scared?" Her father questioned while siting on the end of the bed the Reba was in.
Melinda stopped pacing and sat next to her dad on the bed. "Um, I haven't seen my sister in nine years!" She said with a sigh.
"Sweetie you'll be fine," Jack said as he pulled his daughter into his arms. "Just remember I love you."
Melinda hugged him "I love you too Daddy."
Jack smiled warmly down at his 13 year old daughter.
Reba pulled her self up out from under the covers. Jack turned around to look at his wife "Good Morning Reba," he said smiling.
Reba smiled at him and got out of bed " Morning Jack Hey Melinda."
Melinda smiled "Hey Reba." Melinda loved her step-mom a lot, most of the time more than her own mother. Melinda's mom hated her and her sister. After Kella was born, Cheryl sent her to Jack's parents house for them to raise her. Melinda felt a warm and loving feeling went ever she was around Reba. Melinda would love to call her 'mom' but Jack would let her until she meet her grandparents. Melinda love the idea of becoming a big sister all over again but she had a say that she was scared to death of the idea. In addition Reba and Jack were letting her pick the name of the new baby. She had ran though thousands of baby girls names and some boys just in case. She had ended up with Hunter, if by some case they would have a boy, and Emma,for the baby girl. "How ya feeling?," She questioned.
Reba felt a sudden extreme pain in her womb. She tried to answer her step-daughter but when she opened her mouth the only thing that came out was an ear pitching scream.
"REBA!" Jack screamed as he jumped up from his place on the bed and ran to his lover's side. He tried to hold her up. "LINDA!" He screamed again.
Melinda had practiced this and graped the phone. She quickly dialed 911
"This Is 911. What is your emergency?" Questioned an unfamiliar voice
"Yes. My step-mom is giving birth," said the frantic teenager.
"Okay Sweetie, I need your location."
"I'm at Holiday Inn on Third Street in room 416," Melinda said as she watched her father try to calm down Reba.
To Melinda the following seven hours were a blur. The next thing the teenager knew she was holding a newborn baby girl in her arms. She saw the fright in her father's eyes. Melinda laughed. "Dad!" she said with a laugh.
"WHAT!" Jack screamed. Melinda saw that he was in la la land.
"Nothing," Melinda said with giggle.
Jack gently took the baby from his daughter and held the little pink bundle against his chest. Jack smiled down at his teenager then at Reba.
Reba giggled at the sight of Jack holding the newborn. Just then a little cry came from the little girl that Reba was holding. Reba rocked the crying baby until she fell back asleep. Reba looked up at Melinda from her hospital bed. "Names?" She asked Melinda as she put the sleeping bundle into the hospital crib.
Melinda smiled down at the pink and blue bundles that were in the same large crib. "Hunter, Emma, and Karol," Melinda said with a smile as she picked up the blue bundle and held the baby boy close. "Hunter," Melinda said to the baby. "I love you,baby brother," she added. The newborn lifted his hand and touched her nose. Melinda gently took the little boy's hand and let him wrap it around her finger.
Reba and Jack looked at each other and smiled. Reba looked at the clock that hung over the small table. "Its 3:40!" She thought in disbelief
Just then Jack's cell phone started singing 'All American Girl' By Carrie Underwood. He quickly graped it with one hand ,leaving one hand under Karol, from the small table and answered it. "Hello?" He said quietly so he won't wake up Emma
"Jack are you coming?" asked a some what unfamiliar voice.
"I'm sorry Mom I can't," he said in reply
"Where are you?"
"We're at the hospital."
"Why?"
"Reba had our babies." Jack could see the smirk that crossed Reba's face.
"Okay I'm coming with Kella, Hailey, Hannah and Jason!" With that the line when dead.
Jack placed Emma next to her sleeping sister and sat at the end of the hospital bed. "Things can't go good." he said before looking at his wife.
Reba laughed.
Melinda sighed. She sat at the small table with her body facing Reba and Jack. She placed Hunter on her chest and rubbed his back gently.
An half an hour later there was a soft knock at the door. Melinda opened the door holding a sleeping Hunter in her arms. "Granna," Melinda said as she hugged her grandmother.
"Melinda," said the somewhat old lady that stood at the door with a nine year old, two women in their late 20s, and a man in his early 30s.
Melinda wrapped one arm around her grandma and in the other she held Hunter.
Jack came to the door with Karol in his arms. "Kella!" He screamed as he ran to the door.
The beautiful nine year old ran into Jack's waiting arm. "Daddy!" She said hugging his arm.
The babies are named after the most important friends that I have.
