Everyone held hands and we were teleported to the hospital. The doctors and I were rushed with Mel to one of the hospital rooms while everyone else stayed in the waiting room. The doctors kept checking on her as they got the room prepared quickly. I helped her onto the bed, then she was hooked up to an IV. "I don't think there's anytime for painkillers." Dr. Miller said. "What should I do?" I asked, extremely nervous for her, her breathing grew quicker. "Do you want to wait outside?" "No, I have to stay with her." As if to prove my point, Mel fumbled to grab onto my hand and wouldn't let go. "Try to keep her calm." Dr. Michaels said. Mel screamed again.
"Alright, honey. You're ready, you need to start pushing." Dr. Michaels coaxed. Mel screamed as she tried to push. "It's alright Mel. I'm right here, you can do this." She pushed again and started to cry as she screamed. "Come on, honey. Few more. Just a few more!" She held onto my hand extremely hard and screamed. "Come on, Mel. You're almost done." Then, a baby's cry was heard. "One more, just one more...and there we go." Dr. Michaels held up our small baby and smiled. "It's a girl." she said. "Rosie, our little Rosie." I smiled. Dr. Miller cleaned her off as Dr. Michaels helped Mel with her final delivery. "Alright honey, few more pushes and then you're done." Mel screamed and pushed a few more times. "Xavier is left, you can do this!" "Almost there, honey. Almost there. Few more pushes." she coaxed. Not long later, another cry was heard. "One more push, honey...there we go." She held up our small son. "It's a boy." Dr. Michaels announced. "Our little Xavier." Mel gasped for air as she laid back down. He was handed over to Dr. Miller and cleaned off, then was passed to me. He was very pale and small, had light blond hair and sky blue eyes. "He's beautiful. What's his name?" he asked. "Xavier Zane Julien." I said proudly. Mel was handed our daughter. She also had very pale skin but was slightly bigger than her brother, nearly platinum hair and striking blue eyes. "She's amazing. What's her name?" Dr. Michaels asked. "Rosalina Elsa Julien." Mel cried happily. She looked at me and smiled tiredly, "We're parents, Zane!" I smiled and laughed happily, "Yes we are."
"Should we bring your friends in?" the doctors asked. "Yes, but please tell them to be quiet." I replied. After the doctors left, I looked at Mel as she checked Rosie's aura. It was a mix of mostly white and a little blue, but there was gray on her arms and chest. "Is that..?" "The metal? Yes. Our children will be medical mysteries, but will grow up loved and nurtured all the same." We switched and she did the same for Xavier. It was the same colors as his sister's with the gray areas in the same spots, and was mostly blue with little white. She gently stroked his light blond hair and smiled, Xavier started chewing on his blue blanket as he looked between us. Rosie yawned and snuggled into my chest within her pink blanket, I gently kissed her forehead. The door quietly opened as our friends walked in. All the girls gasped at the sight of the twins. "They are so adorable!" Sarah said quietly. "What are their names?" Nya asked. "Rosalina Elsa Julien." I said, looking at my daughter. "Xavier Zane Julien." Mel said very tiredly but smiling all the same. I sat down in a chair next to her bed as Rosie slept in my arms. All the girls crowded around her bedside as my brothers gathered around me. "She's beautiful." Kai said. "Congratulations Zane." Cole said with a smile. "We're so happy for you." Jay said. I smiled at them, then after awhile of talking, I looked over at Mel. She was smiling but looked extremely worn down, nearly falling asleep several times.
I slowly stood up and walked over to her side. "I think Mel needs her rest." I said. Everyone nodded at us. "I think we'll head back to the Bounty. Congrats guys." Sarah quietly said. We nodded and they disappeared with a final wave. Our two doctors came back in, and explained that they needed to do the required tests for newborns to ensure that they are healthy. I looked at Mel and she nodded. We handed our children to them, they were placed in a basket and taken by Dr. Miller down the hall. "How are you feeling, Melissa?" Dr. Michaels asked. "Still in lots of pain...very exhausted and physically drained...but very happy." she sighed. "Do you want some painkillers?" she asked but Mel shook her head. "I just...need some rest..." The doctor nodded, "We'll bring your kids back once we're done. It shouldn't be long" She nodded slowly and started to fall asleep. She left us and Mel gently held my hand. I looked down and saw her softly touching the metal bracelet on my wrist. I had forgotten all about it during the chaos.
"What should we...do about this?" she asked quietly. "I don't know. Jay's tried to break it, but it shocked him in response." I held her hands and kissed her softly. "Go ahead and rest. That took a lot of energy from you." She nodded and tried to pull me down onto the bed but she didn't have enough energy. I laid down beside her and she fell asleep playing with my hair. I had started to fall asleep when the doctors rushed in with the twins, a panicked look on their faces. "What's wrong?" I asked. "They're coming. They've tracked us down and are searching for you four." I looked up at Mel, she looked so peaceful. "What can I do?" "We need you to take your family and hide." "Dr. Michaels, what about you? They know you and might hurt you!" "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." "Where should we go?" "Go to your house, the safe house, anywhere but here. Now go!" They gave the twins to me and rushed out the door. Dr. Miller looked in one last time and locked the door behind them. I held our kids in my arms and woke her up. "Mel! I need you to get up now!" She shot awake, frightened, "What's going on?" I handed her our daughter and quickly explained our predicament. She took out the IV from her arm and took our son as well. I had just started on the spell when suddenly I felt electricity go through me.
