Ethen's Prov
I was laying beside my sleeping wife, I couldn't explain the emotional roller coaster this past three months has been for me and Kylie. What I used to consider our normal routine was a thing of the past.
I've been pulling almost what felt like all nighters every night, since we found out. She hasn't progressed further, and with the meds her blood pressure, stayed in a good range. Mom and dad let me go out with Jasper, Lucas and Uncle Jericho every Friday, and mum and pop came over for a couple hours, so I could get some sleep, or run to get some necessities. Uncle Uriah had been getting us groceries, or whatever else I didn't get when I went out, or he'd just come over to keep me company, with Aunt Marlene did the check ups.
Scarlett and Serenity were good, and as long as the early signs didn't turn for the worst, Aunt Marlene is confident that all three would make it out just fine.
I got up, quietly and got her some breakfast. I brought it back to our room, and gently woke Kylie. I let her sleep as much as she could or wanted or had to relieve herself. "Hey babe. Breakfast." I said, setting the tray beside her. "Can you help me up and to the bathroom?" I smiled, and helped her up.
Zeke and Shauna: How's Kylie?
Ethen: She's okay... No worse. Aunt Marlene is gonna come over and check on her.
It was guys night out, and honestly I was really excited. I could use a guys night.
Jasper, Lucas and Jericho: Hey man! Guys night! You get the pick!
Ethen: Hey guys! I could go for a night at the bar, and just a night away...
Jasper, Lucas, and Jericho: Perfect.
Later that night, just like any other night, I got dressed, and sat beside Kylie. "Don't be stubborn, or whinny with your parents baby." "Do you have to go tonight? Aunt Marlene, said that she's arranging for us to go to Erudite... so I could be induced... I'm in the clear for Serenity, and Scarlett to be born..."
I kissed her head, and said "Babe, I really need a night out..." She begged me to stay home every Friday. "WE're Here." Mom and dad's voice called as they came in. We had a copy of our keys made, and I gave a copy to mom, Dad, Mum, Pop, Uncle Uriah and Aunt Marlene. "Babe! Don't Go!" She begged. Mom came over, sitting beside her.
I went out, and sat at the bar. We were an hour out when the text came in.
Tris: Ethen! Meet us at Erudite NOW!
Ethen: What's going on?!
I knew if mom and dad were asking me to meet them at Erudite I'd have to go. I turned the guys and said "I have to go." I ran to the house grabbing my sweaters, and coat as well as the hospital bag, and I went straight to Erudite. "Hi I'm looking for my Wife, Kyleigh Pedrad, or her parents Tris and Eric Coulter!" I said as soon as I was at the desk. "What's your name?"
I said "Ethen Pedrad." "Come with me, I'll take you to where they are." The nurse took me up to labor and delivery, and into a private room, where I saw Mom and Dad. I ran over to them, and said "What the hell happened?!"
Mom said "She was complaining of stomach pains, Marlene came over and said We had to get here... and we did. They took her right into surgery... " I said "are they okay?" "No one's told us anything. But Marlene said that they were fine and ready."
I took a deep breath sitting beside them, causing Dad to put a hand on my shoulder. "They're Dauntless, all three of them. If I know my daughter, and the girls, they're sure gonna have a ton of fight in them." I know he was trying to comfort me.
"Excuse me? Has her husband arrived yet?" A women's voice asked, as I stood up and said "That's me. How are they?" The women said "I'm Dr. Peaches, I've been overseeing your wife's care." I shook her hand as we stepped out. "So, I'm sure your in laws filled you in. We took her into surgery right away, since she was stable. She delivered both baby girls, Baby A weighing at 5 ibs and 10 oz, and Baby B 5 lbs and 5 oz. Both girls, are perfectly healthy, and so is your wife. You're in laws said that she had showed early signs of Preeclampsia a few months ago?"
I nodded and said "That's why you guys did the c-section." Dr. Peaches said "Yes. Your daughters are going to NICU to make sure they're cleared of any possible dangers, and your wife is moved to the recovery room. We want only family visitors at this moment, and a limit of 3 at a time, you not included. You are the only one aloud to spend the night." I nodded and said "Can I see her?" The nurse nodded and led me to the room. "I'm gonna update her parents, and send them your way.
