Peter and Charlotte- April 1925

"Peter… peter and charlotte… peter… come on Alice… help me out here… peter and charlotte..." I bit my thumb nail angrily, chewing on the already soft nail in an attempt to release my frustration.

Jake wasn't back yet, I still couldn't remember who Peter or Charlotte were and my stomach was queasy. I'd had bad cramps earlier that morning and my muscles and back still ached… I felt horrible. Sarah, my faithful nurse bustled in and tapped the beeping machines next to me. I looked up at her from my pile of pillows, and smiled. She smiled back and turned to me, hands on rounded hips.

"How are you this mornin' Mrs. Black? Feelin' any worse after the cramps?"
I shook my head, drew my thumb nail from my bottom teeth and sighed, worried for my babies. "Sarah, I feel like… my stomach's rolling all over, I threw up all of yesterday and you gave me meds for it. Is this normal for a multiple-;"

I stopped mid sentence to grab my abdomen as an almighty heavy threw itself over my stomach muscles from out of nowhere.

Sarah gasped, and sprung into action. She yanked my arm free out and checked my pulse, lowered the bed so I was flat and then beeped for some help. I yelped as my stomach clenched. In a second there was a doctor with me. Doctor Martinis. He jogged over to the side of the flat hospital bed, I was gasping in pain now, the cramping of my muscles intensifying until my back arched.

"She's contracting! Quickly, two doses of Magnesium sulfate in her IV!" The doctor ordered as my stomach muscles tightened again. Sarah looked shocked, but ran over to a cupboard and ripped a vial out. She shoved a syringe into the cap brutally and then injected it into my IV with experienced control.

Sweat beaded on my chest and back, sliding down my bent spine, I yowled as an excruciating pain shot across my pelvis, driving me over the edge. I felt tears slide over my cheeks and drip onto my shirt… my shoulders shook and my legs curled up, my knees wanting t draw against me.
"Shh… it's ok Mrs. Black, we're gonna take good care o' ya… Sshh.." Sarah crooned, cupping my head as doctors and nurses flipped my blankets back and worked on me. I relaxed momentarily, the pain relenting for barely five minutes…

I gasped great lung full's of air, trying to calm my rapidly beating heart.
I grabbed the hand she offered as another pang bolted over me and spread across my stomach, squeezing and pushing until I could no longer with hold the urge to yell in pain. My legs and arms tightened and I felt something in my back twinge… I screamed raggedly.

My scream died into a muffled cry of agony, my head dropping back against the pillow, my legs still drawn up. It was then I heard Jakes voice call to me. He sounded so far away… like my ears were stuffed with cotton wool …

"Mrs. Black… Stay with me! Don't you close your eyes! Your babies need you awake you hear me? Stay with us! Mrs. Black! Look at me! Bella! Bella!" Sarah was shoving my hair, now plastered to me with sweat, away from my face, pulling it out of my eyes and mouth. I tried to look at her but my mind was swirling… I gritted my teeth against the ache…

My stomach heaved and just in time a bowl was shoved onto my chest as I wretched uncontrollably. Cool fingers pressed my shoulders down onto the bed and others wiped across my forehead. I spat the taste of vomit from my lips just as a stinging syringe was pressed into the fold of my elbow.

My back muscles relaxed slowly, settling back onto the mattress, my stomach muscles ceased cramping as quickly as they had started and my head filled with the sound of roaring water and desperate doctors barking orders across me.

"Bella? Are you here? Can you hear me? Mrs. Black?" the doctor was shinning a light into my eyes, slapping the side of my face gently…
I rolled my heavy eyes up to his face… but the sound of Jake close by caught my attention, two nurses barred his way at the double glass doors leading into the room.

"Bella!" He looked frantically to me and then to the nurses, his voice was horse; "That's my wife! Let me through!"
The doctor standing over me waved his wrinkled hand to the nurses who parted quickly and allowed Jacob to come into the room. I took a shallow breath as my stomach muscles shuddered…

Jake ran over to me, his hands out stretched. "Bella! Oh my god! Bella! Are you… are you alright! I'm so sorry baby, so sorry… She's in such pain, what happened to her!" He tore his eyes over the doctors as if it was their fault.

"She was having contractions… a premature labor, but we caught it thanks to her nurse…she's been drugged though, don't expect her to stay awake for much longer."Doctor Martinis said solemnly, his hand resting heavily on Jake's one shoulder.

So that's what it was… I was going into labor… Such intense pain from such tiny little babies… I wanted to move my hands to stroke my stomach but my arms felt like lead and my fingers wouldn't unfreeze…

Jacob sat on the edge of the bed, stroking my face. His hand burning its way down my cheek and his thumb running across my parted lips… His eyes were a deep, tormented brown.

"Jake…please don't leave me…" I whimpered pathetically as my stomach spasmed gently.
"It's ok Bellaby. I'm not leaving you … I'll never leave again…not again…"

My mind swam and the edges of my vision blurred… Tears slid over my cheeks, Jake whipped them away gently…
"What's happening to her?" Jake demanded over his shoulder, to a nurse.
His words were soft; even though I was sure he had shouted them… He seemed to be so far away.

A new voice drifted into my head… "Oh yes, the anesthesia's kicking in… She'll be alright. Her body is just stressed…"

Jake! I whispered… or did I? Was I asleep? I wasn't sure…
Would Jacob stay… yes… my husband would never leave me… never again.

Ok- short, but quickly posted right? So what do you think? Oh, about the medication I named, I literally just googled that so if it's wrong- I'm sorry. :)
