The doctors told us that the babies had to stay in the SCBU until they were able to breathe on their own without help from the oxygen tubes, which they had assumed would be in 3 months. This didn't however limit the contact we could have with them. As long as the tube and heart rate wires stayed connected, we could hold, feed and interact as much as we liked with them.

Although parents weren't supposed to pick favourites, it was quite clear that Frank had a little more of a connection with Jett and Hayley was daddy's little girl.

The first week, Frank didn't want any visitors, just so he could spend quality time with the new additions. But come the week after, we were visited almost every day.

Frank's parents were the first to visit and his mum couldn't get over the fact she was a grandma. His dad was also very proud and wouldn't stop talking to the sleeping Jett about how he was gonna teach him so much.

Much similar when my parents visited the day after. I hadn't seen them for the majority of the time Frank was pregnant, only briefly when I went home to pick up some more clothes.

They had been quite shocked when I told them I was now a dad, not knowing that Frank had been pregnant at all. But it was quite clear when they were looking at our little sprouts that they were proud of me.

Hayley visited a lot too. She still worked in the children's ward and would come and see us as often as possible though when she had night shifts, I was the only one there to see, for both my boyfriend and kids being sound asleep.

The hospital staff had moved a bed into the SCBU for Frankie to sleep in, much similar to another family. However, I still had school work so most nights I would go home and return in the mornings after dropping of the work.

Frank had also been getting better. He wasn't so tired anymore and was recovering quite steadily. He had a scar on his stomach too from the caesarean which he claimed was 'ugly as hell' to which I could only reply that I thought it was incredibly sexy.

Everything was going perfectly fine. And we were happy. Until one Friday night when I was sleeping in Frank's hospital bed and was awaken by the sounds of doctors bustling around, crying and machines beeping to a different rhythm than I had learned to fall asleep to.

Immediately I woke up, shaking Frank awake too.

"Hey! What's going on?"

A young doctor came over and quickly explained what was happening.

"The little boy stopped breathing. We're trying to resuscitate him as quickly as we can."

And that was when Frank flipped and went completely hysterical. Tears practically poured from his eyes and I could feel moist on my cheeks too. He kept trying to get up but I maintained a strong hold round his waist, still trying not to hurt him, as I knew that he would only get in the way.

After a 10 minutes that seemed liked eternity, the machine beeping returned to normal and the doctors were sighing in relief. I also felt myself exhale as I held my shaking boyfriend to my chest. I continued hushing him and kissed him lightly.

"Shh…it's ok…everything's fine now…he's fine now…"

The rest of the night was well…restless. Frankie couldn't sleep for fear something was going to happen to one of them again, which therefore meant I couldn't sleep because he kept getting up.

When it was finally morning Hayley came in to visit me. Well us, but Frank was too caught up in watching over Little Hayley and Jett.

"Rough night?" She came and sat down next to me on the bed, placing her hand over mine.

"You could say that. He wouldn't stay still."

"I get that he's worried. Any mother would be."

"Yeah, but this is Frank. For the whole of this pregnancy he was so carefree. Why so serious all of the sudden?"

"Parenthood does that. So many girls come in as 16 year olds and leave as mature adults. When you have a baby, there's someone else to look out for. No room for being reckless."

"Hm…never thought of it like that."

"See. I'm smart. Anyway, you should probably thank me. I was the one that noticed he'd stopped breathing when I came in to check the machines. I wasn't even supposed to check then but I was bored."

"Hayley…you saved him. You saved my son's life." I couldn't fight the urge to pull her into a tight hug at that moment.

"Ah! Gerard! Squeezing me!" I let her go and looked down sheepishly.

"Sorry…"

"It's fine. I am just that amazing. Hey, It's Frank's birthday soon right?" It was indeed his birthday in…actually exactly 2 months. And I hadn't planned anything. "Well I kinda had an idea of what you could do for it. Cos you clearly have none whatsoever." She knew me too well.

"Ok then, what's this idea?"

"Well you can buy a house with the money-"

"Woah, wait, what money?"

"How did I hear it before you? You're Great Aunt Joan. She died yesterday. She left your mum a hell of a lot of money. Did she know she was that rich? And what your mum told me, was that she was gonna pay for a house for the 4 of you."

"Oh…oh wow…that's…that's amazing…!"

"I know. So you should, choose a place, and then, for when you guys are out of here, get it decorated. Bedroom, nursery, kitchen, the full shebang."

"Well..I don't know…"

"Oh come on Gerard! I'll sort out the whole decorating thing! You just tell me what you want and I'll have it done."

"…Alright. You win."

"Yes! I'll bring you leaflets!" Then she kissed my cheek and left.

There was a few minutes for silence, just me watching Frankie. Then he turned round and walked over, sitting himself on my lap.

"So…Hayley saved him?"

"How much of that did you hear, babe?" I was worried he heard about his birthday gift, even though we had kept our voices low.

"Only up to her complaining about being hugged too tight. I tuned out after that. She's right though."

"Bout what?"

"Parenthood. Natural instinct I guess." I nodded and we sat in silence once again wathcing over our sleeping babies.

"Ya know, we did a good job, Spermy."

"Yes we did, Asshole. A very good job."

There ya go :D sorry it took so long. Hard chappy to write. Hayley's plan: love or hate? Tell me
