Thank you for the reviews, guys! Like I've said before, I have everything written out in my notebook, but I have to transcribe it onto here. I'm terribly sorry about the formatting - I don't have Word on my computer so I just upload everything into Notebook. :P

Anyway, thanks again for reading! Reviews are always appreciated and read with smiles. :)


Chapter 4

"What the Hell"

Robbie and Cat stopped and picked Tori and Andre up on their way to the hospital, with Tori texting beck the entire time giving short updates periodically.

"She's leaking amniotic fluid, and her blood pressure is really high," Tori sputtered out, tears falling down her face. They didn't really understand what this meant, but it sounded terrible, and nobody would have ever suspected that something like this would happen.

"Shit," Robbie let out, running his hand on his girlfriend's leg. He couldn't imagine if something had happened to her, and now Beck had to worry about his girlfriend and their children? Robbie couldn't even fathom it, and that scared him. These things just did not happen at Hollywood Arts.

Another ten minutes in the car felt like two hours before they made it in and rushed to the 3rd floor Labor and Delivery unit. Once they had checked themselves in, they were told by a nurse to go to the waiting room, where Beck was sitting with his head in his hands, visibly sobbing.

"Hey man, What's happening?" Andre asked quietly, taking a seat next to him in the very uncomfortable green linoleum chairs. Robbie took the remaining chair on his right while Beck leaned over onto Andre, who had put an arm around his friend. "They won't let me in there and the doctor hasn't come out in like 15 minutes," Beck had not experienced such a rush of feelings like this before. It was fear. It was most definitely fear. "Jade...The kids...What if they die?" He finally choked out, evoking a cry from both Tori and Cat. They were not equipped to handle situations like these. Tori sat down on the floor, leaning on Andre's leg and putting a hand on Beck's. Cat, however, took the initiative to stand up and walk to the nurses station.

"What is going on with Jadelynn West?" She asked, more forceful than with her everyday life."I'm sorry, you're going to have to wait for the doctor," the nurse replied sadly while pointing her back to the waiting room. As Cat was walking back, the doctor entered ahead of her into the hospital made holding cell.

"Beck? Could you come here?"

Beck nodded, taking a moment to collect himself and dry his eyes before standing up and crossing the room to the doctor, who was waiting with the door open. Beck's group of friends also stood, following as the doctor shut the door to the waiting room behind them. They all pressed their heads against the door, trying to hear exactly what was being said.

"I'm just going to tell you what is going on quickly, I have a c-section to preform in half an hour, and I need to get ready, okay?" Beck nodded, giving a hand gesture to tell him to go on.

"The leaking has stopped, it was from baby B, we're monitoring her heart rate, and it is still 115, so we're out of the deep end with her. Jade, however, we're working hard to keep her blood pressure down - although it's very far down from earlier. She's asleep, but you and your friends can visit her when she wakes up. She is going to have to remain in the hospital until we deliver, though, I'm afraid. She may be preeclamptic, so the longer we keep the babies baking the better, but at the same time, we don't want Jade to get ill, so we are shooting to deliver at 34 weeks."

Beck nodded at certain parts of the speech, stopping the doctor as he went to walk away.

"How is baby A?" He asked, knowing the baby would have to be okay, because the doctor didn't mention it, but still asking for his own mindset. Also, the doctor had let it slip that baby B was a girl, and he'd like to know the gender of the other one.

"He's fine, kicking his sister in the head as we speak."

"A boy and a girl, wow." Beck thought, his face breaking out in a grin. A daughter and son, and his girlfriend was okay for now. Today was shaping up to be a bit better. He turned around to open the door, raising an eyebrow as he looked at his pile of friends that he'd knocked down. He let out a laugh.

"Thanks guys," he said, still chuckling as he crossed the room to go back to his uncomfortable chair. "I really needed you here, I want Jade to wake up so I can see her, though."

Tori smiled as him, "well, daddy, how do you feel about the prince and princess?"

Beck laughed, "my children will never know themselves as royalty. It will just set themselves up for future disappointment."

Cat and Tori looked at each other with a little disappointment. "Looks like we'll have to pick out new themes, Cat." Tori finally said, grumping as she sat down back on the floor.

Jade woke up about an hour later, surprised by the amounts of tubes in her arms and monitors on her stomach. They had knocked her out before anything too terrible had happened, so she was slightly confused."Beck? She called out, briefly looking around to see her boyfriend passed out on the pull out chair bed in the corner of the room. His dark hair was mopped over his face, and Jade smiled at how cute he looked. "Cute?" She thought, "god damn these kids have changed me."

He raised his head, and seeing that she was awake he hopped up.

"Oh Jade, I'm so glad you're okay!" He let out grinning, striding over to give her a kiss and a head rub while simultaneously putting his free hand on her stomach.

"Yeah," Jade responded, her voice still sounding rather tired. "What happened?"

Beck ran a hand through his hair. "Well, your blood pressure got really high, they put you under, and then you started leaking amniotic fluid."

"What?" Jade cried, sitting up rapidly, looking as though she had been punched in the gut. "Are the babies okay?" Immediately tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Yes, the babies are okay, but you," he began to push her back down on the bed, "need to stay laying down. You are going to stay here until they deliver."

Jade's expression turned to one of panic. "When do they want to deliver?"

He looked down at her with a sad smile, "They're shooting for 34 weeks." He finally answered her question solemnly, but raised his voice into a little more of a hopeful one. "But we'll be here every day after school and I'll bring you lots of stuff to do and everybody will come all the time!"

Jade looked down to her sheet, trying to keep more tears from falling from her eyes. Her 18th birthday was going to be spent in the hospital, her kids were going to be premature...What the hell.
