Chapter Nine

Keirsten was sound asleep in a hospital chair that she had moved in between two little baby hospital beds. The delivery had not been very easy on her. One of the babies had been turned the wrong way, and had to be turned around. Poor Spencer had been yelled at, bitten through painful contractions, and had scratches all over his hand from where Keirsten's nails had been digging in.

Spencer was using the time that Keirsten slept, to finally hold the twins with out having doctors hovering over him, and taking them only moments after he had one in his arms.

Lorelei had made her appearance into the world first, weighing six pounds and nine ounces. She was loud from the get go, and would not stop squirming the entire time the doctors were checking to make sure she was healthy. Spencer remembered old baby pictures Keirsten's parents had shown him. Other than her light blond tufts of hair, and her nose, Lorelei looked exactly like her mother as an infant.

Louis arrived an hour after his sister, he had to be repositioned before he could be delivered. Spencer swore that he was looking at his own baby pictures, if he had been born with a head full of bright red hair. He knew that Louis was the reason for Keirsten's sudden jump in weight being gained, coming out at a full seven pounds three ounces.

Keirsten and Spencer were worried when Louis had arrived. It had taken around ten minutes before he made any sound. Spencer had seen the tears well up in Keirsten's eyes at the thought that they might have lost their son.

Spencer sat on the bed with Lorelei in his arms, looking at her with a smile on his face as she looked up at him with big, curious, hazel eyes. "Why do I get this feeling you are going to be my little genius?" he asked in a soft whisper.

"Because one of them has to be, and why not Lorelei?" Keirsten asked sleepily from her chair.

Spencer looked up as Keirsten was standing up from her chair, and rubbing her eyes. "I didn't mean to wake you up."

Keirsten shook her head. "You didn't, I was starting to wake up anyways. I knew she already had you wrapped around that tiny little finger of hers before she got here."

"Lorelei was already awake when I picked her up. Louis has been asleep the entire time."

Keirsten looked down at the tiny little boy laying sound asleep. "I'm just glad that he's going to be okay. Not sure I could forgive myself if we lost either of them."

"Are you still upset because you had an attack? Keirst, that could have happened to anybody in the situation you were in. Not just you. Look, Lorelei and Louis are here. They are alive and healthy. In two days, they will be coming home with us."

"Ready to say good night to sleep for the rest of our lives?" Keirsten asked as she reached into the baby bed and gently lifted Louis into her arms.

"It won't be that bad I'm sure. So far they are pretty quiet."

Keirsten nodded. "So far is the key word."

Spencer got up and walked over to Keirsten, placing a kiss on her cheek. "Ready to show these two off to the BAU and Zak?"

"Zak's here?"

"He heard about what happened on the news and caught a bus to get here. So what do you say to visitors?"

"Spencer, I am a complete mess," Keirsten claimed as she cradled the tiny infant she held in her arms. "I look terrible."

"You do not look terrible, you look beautiful as always. You said you wanted a nap before you got any visitors, and everybody agreed to let that happen. They managed to get your parents up here while you were napping, and some how convinced my mother to get on a plane with a government worker so she can see her grandchildren."

"Your mother, on a government owned plane? I can see my parents doing that, but certainly not your mom."

"Yeah, I'm wanting to know how they did it myself. I can never get her on any plane willingly. So what do you say to at least letting our parents come in and see them?"

Keirsten sighed softly. "Okay, but let me get myself in bed and covered up first. As far as medical science has come, they still can not make a hospital gown that closes up in the back."

Spencer laughed lightly. "At least you have a nice back side to look at."

Keirsten gently laid Louis back in his little bed. "And I'd like to keep it where you are the only person that sees it. He sleeps so soundly, you'd think he'd wake up when he's moved around."

"Lorelei and Louis are already completely different in personalities. Lorelei woke up the minute I touched her. She hasn't fallen back to sleep yet," Spencer claimed as he laid his daughter down.

Keirsten got into the hospital bed and got under the covers. "Who knows? Maybe she'll be a little prodigy just like her daddy."

"I hope neither one of them will be a prodigy like me. A genius, maybe, but they won't be going to college at twelve like I did. I won't have them being bullied on a daily basis."

"Spencer, just come give me a kiss and go get our parents."

Smirking lightly, Spencer walked over to the bed, and placed a kiss on Keirsten's lip. "I love you so much. Hope you know that each day I'm with you, I feel luckier and luckier to have you."

Keirsten's face reddened. "I love you too. I could not think of any man I would rather be with to raise two children than you. Speaking of them, would you move them closer to the bed? I like being able to keep an eye on them"

"Sure, I'll do that before I walk out," Spencer replied before taking another kiss from his wife. He was careful to move the two little beds closer to Keirsten, before he walked out of the room. The moment the door closed behind him, Lorelei started to cry loudly.

Keirsten was out of the bed faster than what she had gotten into it. She scooped Lorelei in her arms and started to rock her gently, as she sat down on the edge of the bed. "What is it my little one? Are you upset because Daddy just walked out? Don't worry, he'll be back," she cooed to the child.

After a few moments, Spencer walked back in the room with his mother Diana, and Keirsten's parents, Dale and Thelma Hunt. "Is she okay?" he asked putting a hand over one ear when he heard just how loud Lorelei was crying.

"I think so. Her diaper is clean, she's got a full belly. She started crying as soon as you walked out of the room," Keirsten said looking at Spencer.

Spencer walked over to Keirsten, and gently took Lorelei from her. "Hey now, no need to cry," he murmured.

Keirsten watched Spencer with a light smile. It did not take long for Lorelei to stop crying once he had taken her. Keirsten knew right then, that she was a daddy's girl.

"You've certainly got your work cut out for you here huh?" Dale asked as he walked over to give his daughter a hug.

"We sure do, but I don't think I would have it any other way to be honest Daddy," Keirsten stated. "I believe we'll manage."

"Spencer, I did not suffer on a government plane for nothing. Let me get a good look at those babies," Diana said.

Spencer walked back to his mother, being careful with Lorelei in his arms. "Mom, this is Lorelei Diana. Louis is sound asleep."

"She's so pink," Diana claimed.

"So is Louis, and look at all that hair he's got," Thelma said looking down at little Louis.

"Keirsten had that much hair when she was born. Gave Thelma here a good bit of indigestion," Dale stated.

"Daddy, no need to bring that bit up. Also, I got double, Lorelei has a bit of blonde hair," Keirsten said blushing bright red.

Spencer laid Lorelei back in her bed after she had finished crying, and was sleeping. "Regardless of the indigestion, this pregnancy didn't go to easy for Keirsten with all her anxiety problems."

"Anxiety problems? Keirsten, you haven't out grown all those?" Dale asked.

Keirsten's eyes widened. "Daddy, with everything I went through, they got worse. Not like they were very fun to deal with in the past though."

"Okay, we can drop the subject now. I shouldn't have brought it up, I didn't realize it was such a touch subject for Dale and Thelma," Spencer claimed.

Diana folded her arms across her chest. "Now wait a minute. You should leave the poor girl alone about her anxiety issues. If she can deal with them, more power to her. That makes her pretty tough. To be able to deal with them while pregnant, she's a saint."

"Thanks Diana," Keirsten said pushing her hair from her face.

Dale glared over. "My daughter is twenty-four years old and has had these anxiety issues since she was seventeen. It's about time she gets over them."

"Dad, do you really have to start up an argument now? The twins are asleep and I would rather them not wake up to yelling," Keirsten stated.

Dale looked at his daughter with the same glare he had given to Diana. "Keirsten, you have gotten yourself in way over your head. You have two infants to take care of, a husband who is hardly ever home, and you're a teacher. How are you going to manage with everything?"

"Daddy, that is not fair, you have no idea what all Spencer has done for me since the day we met! He has made several sacrifices for me. You know what, I just want you both to leave, you're really starting to stress me out."

"You can't just kick us out of here," Thelma claimed.

"Spencer please... make them leave," Keirsten asked with her voice shaking. She could feel her anxiety already starting to build up, and she didn't want to have an attack.

"It would be better if you two just leave. We don't need Keirsten to have another attack today, she's been through enough," Spencer claimed before he laid Lorelei back down and opening the door.

Dale and Thelma shot Keirsten a dirty look before they walked out the door.

Spencer followed his in-laws out, and closed the door behind him. "You know what, you two are really something else. I can see why Keirsten hardly ever keeps in contact with you. Your daughter just went through hell delivering your grandchildren, and you go jumping down her throat for no reason what so ever."

"Don't you dare go telling us how to handle our daughter Spencer," Dale ordered.

"Don't forget she's also my wife, and has an eventful couple of years that have stressed her out. She's right that you two don't have a single clue what we've been through together. I love Keirsten, and I will do anything to keep her and our children safe and happy. Even if that means keeping you two out of the picture completely."

"You can't do that, she's our daughter," Thelma stated.

"I'm FBI, just watch the ways I can prevent you from seeing her. Upset her like you have again, and I'll pull every legal string I've got to keep you away from her. Now get out of here. I need to make sure Keirsten is alright," Spencer said before he walked back into the room.

Keirsten had tears in her eyes as she sat in her chair nursing Louis. Her focus was on nothing but the child in her arms. She had not noticed Spencer coming back in, or that Diana was cuddling Lorelei.

"Are you okay Keirst?" Spencer asked.

"I will be... look, your mom can stay, but I don't want to see any more visitors right now. Tell everyone I'm sorry, but, they can come by when we go home on Monday."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. I just want family, and not my parents."

Spencer sighed as he put his hands in his pockets. "So Mom, what do you think of being a grandma?"

Diana looked up quickly. "Don't you dare let them call me that. Anything but Grandma. They are really tiny."

"They'll get bigger in time. I was small too wasn't I?"

"Not like these guys. You little lady... you're just as curious as Spencer was when he was a baby. Looks like you've already got a little genius on your hands," Diana said.

"It's way too early to tell if either of them will be like me. They are only a couple hours old."

"She's also very loud, starts crying almost as soon as Spencer walks out that door."

"Well, I wouldn't be too surprised if you have two little geniuses here. Now then Spencer, can I go back home?"

"Mom, you just got here a little while ago."

"I know, and they only got me on that plane by telling me that my son was in trouble. Now, I'm glad I got to see these two, but my place isn't here. And you clearly aren't in any trouble."

"Wow, the things my team will do to try and get things done. Okay, I'll have them get you back home. I promised Keirsten I wouldn't leave her here alone in the hospital, but I will take you to the plane."

Keirsten looked up slightly. "Guess I could finish nursing them both and get a nap while you're gone. Turns out, nursing is a good way to keep off an anxiety attack."

Spencer smiled. "I'll have Penelope check in on you in if I'm not back in an hour."

"Oh no you won't. No visitors, period. I'll be fine. Thanks for coming to see the twins Diana."

"You just better bring them to see me," Diana stated.

Spencer nodded. He watched his mother put Lorelei to bed. He looked at Keirsten and smiled more. "Be safe, and I'll be back. I'm going to stop by the house and check on Adalynn so she can get her walk."

"Sounds like a good idea. I'll be fine, now go."

Diana laughed some as she walked out of the room with her son following her. She knew everything was going to be just fine.
