I own nothing...
I woke up in pain. Bright lights and white was all around me. Even without opening my eyes I knew this because of all the time I spent in the hospital I slowly opened my eyes and saw Bobby staring at me with a doctor. I remembered what happened. My hands went to my slightly swelling stomach.
"Ms. Plum, we were able to save your babies but you will have to stay on bed rest until I say so." The doctor told me. BED REST. Oh, no.
"Steph, I called Ranger and left him a message but he's out of range for the moment. Your parents are on their way." Bobby told me.
"Babies?" I whispered just processing the word babies. "Babies?" I whispered again my eyes wide.
"Yes, Ms. Plum you are having twins. Male and Female." The doctor told me. Bobby's eyes widen thinking of a male version of me.
"Okay." I answered.
"I'm going keep you here a couple days just to make sure everything is okay with the babies." I nodded at the doctor. I absently rubbed my stomach. TWO of them. Wow. My mother rushed forward into the room. This was the first time I seen her in a month. She just can't accept I'm not marrying Joe.
"Stephanie! My baby. Are you okay?" My mother asked. Grandma and Dad were behind her watching me. I nodded and mom hugged me gently.
"I'm glad your okay, Pumpkin." My dad said hugging me. Wow he talked. Grandma came over and patted my stomach and started talking to it. Grandma pushed my mother closer to me and she sigh.
"Stephanie, I'm sorry for pushing you to Joe. I'm happy your having a baby." Mom said. Tears came to my eyes.
"Babies." I corrected. Her eyes widen and she went down like a brick.
"How many?" Grandma asked me.
"Two."
"Yee-haw I knew that boy had it in him." Grandma hooted. I rolled my eyes and closed my eyes. The world went black.
Morning
I felt someone holding my hand and I squinted my eyes to see mocha latte skin... RANGER. I wanted to jump up and kiss him to death but I couldn't. I opened my arms up and made him come to me. He hugged me gently but I could fell a grip to it. Like he doesn't want to let go.
"I missed you." He whispered to me.
"Missed you too." I told him hugging him with everything I had.
"How are you feeling?" He asked me looking me up and down.
"Fine. I have something to tell." Ranger nodded at me. "We're having twins."
"Twins??" He asked shaking a little. I nodded. He sat down and tried to process this. "Twins? As in two babies"
"Yes. Two." He smile widely. He kissed me sweetly on the lips.
"You can go home in a few hours." He kissed me again.
"Our bat cave." I whispered to him. He nodded.
"I'll be back in a few." He stroked my hair and left the room. Right away, Hal came in to watch over me. They brought in breakfast. Hal and I looked over at the so call food. I looked at him with pleading eyes. He took his cell phone and called someone to bring me real food.
"Babe." Ranger said coming in when I was finishing up the last of the Mickey Dee's breakfast.
"Its Hal's fault." I said pointing to him. Ranger rolled his eyes at me and kissed me. He helped me get dressed into something comfortable. So I'm aloud to walk only 10 minutes a day with someone helping me! This sucks ass. I got into a wheelchair and we went to Ranger's Bronco. I sat in front with Ranger and the Merry men in a car following us. I thought he was in the middle of his zone when he grabbed my hand and held it. I smiled and closed my eyes. I could fall in love with him very easily or very soon.
Hours later
My eyes fluttered open and I saw Ranger's family at the end of the bed again. I moved slowly and sat up. "HI!" I said with a small wave.
"HOLA!" His mother screamed and came over and hugged me loosely. I hugged her back. "I'm Ranger's mother, Tina. This is my daughter, Yolanda. My mother, Celica. She speaks little English." I gave another little wave. She smiled brightly and went off in a long Spanish explanation. Yolanda quickly translated for me. Celica, told me how happy she was that I'm okay and welcome to the family.
We talked for a long time. They told me about Ranger's childhood and how he was always getting in trouble. Ric came home and his eyes narrowed at the picture. They were sitting on my bed around me. They smiled evilly. Ric gulped visibly.
"Ric, why didn't you tell me you had such a nice family. I love them." I told him. He gave me a small smile.
"Yea, Ricky! Why haven't we talked to Steph before." Tina said smiling.
"Mama, Steph has to rest." Ric said and the women got up and left. I waved goodbye to them.
"Hey, baby." He came over to me and kissed me. I kissed him back and my stomach growled.
"I want food." I told my boyfriend.
"What kind?"
"Pickles, ice cream, and peanut butter." I wanted to creep him out.
"Really?"
"NO. Peanut butter and olive sandwich please." He made face but went and made me my sandwich. Life is good, now, only if I didn't have to be on bedrest.
