AN: Sorry it took so long guys. First was an idea I was toying with (you'll find out next chapter) and I had to adjust this chapter accordingly. Then there was school. I hate psychology. A huge paper due last week.. anyhow, I now have another chapter, I was going to cut it off and make it only like 1 page, but I was nice and made it like 3 pages. So yea, I'll update hopefully soon again once I get done with Finals and such for school.

Chapter 9

Hours later:

BPOV:

"Blacks?" The nurse called out.

I sat up quickly, "Here."

"Your kids are out of surgery. Both are in room 209, I'll take you there if you want."

I shook Jacob awake. "Jake, we can go see the kids now, come on."

The nurse smiled at Jake as he woke up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Once we were standing, she led us up a floor and down the hall to their room. She stopped in front of the door and turned to us.

"Now, I have to warn you, they look pretty bad. Jason is on life support and in a coma, and Jill is pale and ashen looking."

Jake and I nodded our head mutely before walking in the room. I felt pitiful as I saw them lying there in the hospital beds. Jason was hooked up to life support with the machine making louder more mechanical breaths at a steady rate. Jill looked more peaceful, minus the forewarned ashen look she had. I pulled back a shaken gasp that had built in the back of my throat. I turned to Jake to gauge his reaction, which was the same. We carefully moved forward and placed our hands on Jill first.

"Jill, sweetie, please be okay." I whispered in a broken voice. I Watched her body for a sign of movement, there was none. After kissing her forehead, I turned to Jason. Jason was harder to look at due to the life support. Over whelmed with emotion, I hugged Jake and buried my face into his chest.

"Shhhh Bells, it's going to be okay. I'll make sure of it." Jake whispered mutely into my hair.

"What if it doesn't turn out to be okay? How do you know? Last time I checked you weren't a doctor, you can't promise me anything!" I cried into his chest.

"Your right Bells. Your absolutely right." Jake replied calmly, soothing my hair with his hand. "But we need to get to bed. Do you want to stay here and sleep in a chair or go home?" He posed the question carefully.

"Stay. I can't leave my children now, not ever."

"Alright, let me get some blankets and you can sleep in my lap if you want."

I nodded before kissing Jake on the cheek. I went to Jason's bedside while waiting for Jake to return. I stood over Jason's bedside like I had when he was an infant in the crib. Gently I put my hand on his cheek and bent down to kiss him on the forehead. "Please be okay," I whispered against his warm skin, "you can't give up on me now."

Jake approached from behind me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Come on, lets get you to bed."

I nodded before turning to follow Jake to the chair that was now bed for the both of us.

----

Jake gently woke me up the next morning. "Bells, the doctor is here."

"Good morning Mr and Mrs Black, how are you holding up?" The doctor asked.

"Peachy," I replied.

"As to be expected. I do have some news on how your kids are. Jill seems to be producing lots of white blood cells, more than normal for her type of injuries. Jason seems to be stable, but there is still no way of knowing what exactly will happen to him. Other than that there is no change for the worse." The doctor said, trying to smile assuringly to us before leaving the room.

"Bells," Jake spoke after what seemed like an eternity of silence.

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to go get breakfast. Do you want me to go get donuts for you? I know you don't want to leave. I will probably go to the store as well to get some toothbrushes and such so we can stay here as long as you want."

"That would be great. If you don't want to leave I could go get the stuff."

"It's fine Bella, I need a break, this is kind of stressing me out. I should be back in an hour or so."

"I understand lover. Go. I'll be here when you get back." I said before kissing Jake briefly on the lips. Jake smiled and kissed me once again before grabbing the keys and his coat. I pulled a chair up between the two beds and gently took the hands of each child. After a while, I decided to read to them. Just as I pulled out the book, a nurse came in gently smiling.

"How are you?" He asked.

"I'm holding up. You?"

"Pretty good. It's time to give pain meds to the kids." He said while making his way to Jason first.

"mmm.." I watched him as he first changed the IV bag for Jason than moved on to Jill.

"How old are they?" He asked suddenly.

My head snapped towards the nurse. "Sixteen, their twins."

"That's always fun. I have two older brothers that are twins. It makes for an interesting time."

I laughed slightly, "I'd imagine. But Jason and Jill are the only two we have."

"Not one for a big family?"

"Not really. My husband and I were only children."

"To each their own. I was the third out of ten. I love big families. Anyhow, I have more patients to check in on. I'll see you later." He smiled before walking away.

I smiled back, even if he didn't see it. It was nice of him to talk even though we didn't know each other. I returned to my book and flipped through to the current chapter I was on. Sighing, I started reading allowed for the my sanity sake hoping that the kids would hear my voice.

"Jordan could not guess at how much time had passed. He'd slipped into and out of consciousness as if repeatedly dipping into a cool river.

He was still on the wagon; he could feel the motion. How long until the graveyard?

The light entering the coffin changed shades in an irregular pattern, and he guessed that the wagon drove down a lane arched with trees.

The wheels stopped creaking, but he was too exhausted to try to scream again.

There was a slapping sound. A scraping sound.

Then his coffin shifted. Again, two men were carrying him. He could tell by the rhythm. These men never spoke."

"Bells, why are you reading something that depressing?" Jake's voice called out through my pause.

Shocked, I dropped the book losing my page number. "Well, I needed to take my mind off of something, so I decided to read, and it was the only book I had. And I was in the middle of it. It's not as depressing as you think. I promise."

"I was kidding Bells." Jake said before bending down to kiss my forehead. "And besides, when you read you get so caught up in the book you would've never noticed me even if I wagged food in front of your face."

I smiled before taking the bag from his hand and grabbing a donut. "Thanks love."

"Has a doctor come in yet?" Jake asked after finishing his second donut.

"No. A nurse came in not to long ago to change out the IV bags. He was nice, he asked their ages and siblings."

"I see. I guess the doctor should be in soon. Why don't you go take a walk to stretch your legs and I'll stay here."

"That sounds great. I'll be back in five or ten minutes."

AN. that book is calld Broken Angel by Sigmund Brouwer, chapter 28. It's a good book. It really isn't depressing, I promise. I just figured thats a part of the book I could give with out it being to confusing. I Should hopefully update soon. next chapter is Jakes POV. it will be short, but worth it. Read and Review Please! =)
