"YOU ASSHOLE!"
James flinched and shut the hood of his car. It had broken down on a highway and Carlos was sitting in the front seat, screaming at James because the babies were coming. James knew Carlos couldn't help it, he could see his latino was in a lot of pain. He knew Carlos hated him, and James understood that, but he needed to at least talk to the boy.
James walked back to the passenger side and opened the door. Carlos had his legs bent and his feet placed on the dashboard. He was gripping the safety handle and his belly. He was screaming and his head was thrown back.
"Carlos calm down-"
"YOU DICK!"
"-okay I'll have the car working-"
"MOTHER-FUCKER!"
"-just give me a minute."
Carlos leaned over quickly and grabbed James by the front collar. He pulled him close and glared at him, teeth clenched and sweat dribbling down his head.
"Shut. Up. And. Call.A .Fucking. Ambulance!" he cried and let go of James as he grabbed his stomach again. James scurried away and ran to his side of the car, flinging open the door and snatching up his phone. He dialed in 911 and told them the situation. A feel minutes later, Carlos was being moved into an ambulance. He screamed and kicked in pain, his soggy wet sweatpants flinging bits of liquid. James climbed in next to him really quickly and tried holding his hand,but Carlos kept pulling his arm away. He glared at James.
"I don't need you here." he said with clenched teeth. James sighed sadly.
"I'm not leaving. I need to see my baby."
Carlos threw his head back and gave a groan of anger. He was in so much pain. Tears dribbled from his eyes and he began sobbing, hot tears going down his face. His stomach hurt and the babies wouldn't stop moving around, squirming and Carlos could only describe it as if someone had put coals and glass in his stomach and started shaking his body around.
He couldn't stop shaking and he began sobbing and screaming harder as the paramedics tried calming him down. Suddenly a large contraction came and his body jerked in pain. He felt a hand slide into his and this time he didn't pull away-he squeezed James's hand.
The paramedics pulled him into the hospital quickly, running down hallways and past people. They pulled him into a hospital room, where he was forced to change into a hospital gown and get in a bed. He held his belly and sobbed as James ran in. He darted to Carlos's bedside and leaned down.
"Shh it's okay."
Carlos squeezed his eyes shut. He didn't want anything to do with James or Dak or anybody anymore. He just wanted to get these babies out and spend the rest of his life taking care of them in Minnesota.
"I don't need you here."
"I need to be here."
"No you don't!" Carlos cried.
"Yes...not for you though." Carlos looked at James in surprise. He had a grim face on.
"I'm here for my baby."
"So am I."
They both turned in shock to see Dak standing in the doorway. Carlos groaned and turned away from them both. James stood and stared long and hard at Dak.
"You need to leave."
"No, I think you do." Dak narrowed his eyes at James.
"Why? I've driven him here, what have YOU done?"
Dak sneered at James and finally pushed past him to get to Carlos.
"Carlos please I'm here to help you." he tried to hold Carlos's hand but Carlos yanked his hand away. He held his belly and stared down.
"Just go get the doctor."
Dak nodded and ran out of the room, James following but once they got into the hall James had Dak against the wall, their noses touching as he fisted the front of Dak's shirt. His eyes were filled with fury.
"He was doing perfectly fine until you came here." he hissed.
"It didn't seem so. Besides he belongs with me, not you."
James pulled Dak forward before pushing him back,making his head bounce against the wall.
"Why is that?"
Dak narrowed his eyes at him.
"I didn't kill his first baby. Besides who did he come to afterwards?"
James inhaled deeply and stared at Dak. Dak was right. But he was messed up back then-he was different now. He thought and changed himself.
Dak smirked and pushed James off him. James stumbled back, head down, tears hiding behind his eyes. Dak shook his head.
"He loves me James. He'll never love you. I mean, look at what you've done so far-you've beaten him up, raped him, twice may I mention, and killed his baby. You've lost his trust. So just leave before you get your hopes up." and with that Dak walked down the hall in search for Carlos's doctor.
James slowly turned and trudged back to Carlos's room.
Carlos stared in shock. He had heard and seen what James and Dan just did. And his heart couldn't help but hurt a little. Dak had never been so cruel! And James...James had hurt him...but Carlos watched as James trudged back into the room. He sat down and looked up slowly at Carlos.
"You okay?"
Carlos nodded and ran his hands down his belly.
"The contractions stopped for a minute and so did the tremors."
James nodded and sniffed. He stared at Carlos's belly before he broke. He leaned over and put his head on Carlos's arm, sobbing deep into the sheets.
"I-I messed up s-so b-bad Carlos! I-I-I-I can't s-stand it! I fucked it all up." Carlos sighed and gently rabbis fingers through his friends hair.
James body wracked with sobs. Carlos felt so bad for his friend.
"James?"
James sniffed and looked up,tears and snot running down his face.
"Why do you think you did it?"
James shrugged.
"I don't know."
Carlos sighed and James ran a hand across his face, smearing the snot and tears a little. He sighed and laid his head back down. He didn't know if this was the best time.
Oh hell, if he did get it out now he never would. He shut his eyes.
"Carlos do you remember my dad?" Carlos sighed and nodded. He remembered the cold and mean Mr. Diamond.
"When I was little...I saw him hit my mom. All the time. One day he saw me and told me,'never let anyone take advantage of you. Always make sure things go YOUR way.' I didn't understand until later on what he meant."
Carlos looked at James in shock.
"That's why I did it."
Carlos swallowed the lump in his throat and sighed. A pain went through his belly and he groaned. James slid his hand gently into Carlos's, waiting for permission to hold his hand. Carlos squeezed his hand and whimpered.
Carlos had been in labor for nearly eight hours. Nurses were checking up on him but not saying anything and the doctor didn't come. Dak sat, legs crossed, one side of Carlos while James was on the other. They were holding both of his hands and were watching as the little Latino breathed hard, groaning and crying as the babies continued to move. Be finally flopped his sweaty head back and let out a sigh of relief and so did the two other boys as Carlos loosened his hard grip on their hands. The contractions were coming more often and his whole body was burning.
"James?" he whimpered and turned to look at the pretty boy.
"Can you go look for a doctor?" James nodded and stood, turning to give Dak a hard glare before disappearing down the hall.
Dak turned to Carlos and gave him a small smile.
"It's gonna be okay."
Carlos looked at Dak and narrowed his eyes.
"Really? 'Cuz I don't see YOU sitting in my position!" he screamed a little as the babies moved again. Dak sighed and held Carlos's hand in both of his.
"Carlos look I want you to come back. I'll do anything for you. Come on, I've even been looking at bigger apartments." Carlos scoffed and tuned away.
"Carlos please you belong with me." Carlos felt Dak tuck something into his hand and when he looked down be realized it was his bracelet, the one Dak gave him and he lost. He stared at it before turning away and letting two small silent tears roll down his face.
"At least think about it...I'd be better for you then James ,Carlos."
Carlos squeezed his eyes shut and sighed.
"I need time to think Dak." Carlos glances over to see Dak frowning. He sighed and gently shook his head. A contraction went through him and he began crying again. He gripped his belly and groaned when the door opened and James came in. A doctor was following him. Carlos sighed but then his eyes popped open at the sight of the doctor.
She smiled at him and nodded before walking over and checking him.
"yeah I got called about you. Nobody knew what to do so they called me and I flew up here as fast as I could." Carlos's lip trembled and he sniffed.
"Thank you so much. But why?"
She smiled.
"And get to miss a chance at a male giving birth? No way." she smiled and walked to the end of the bed where she I stricter him to raise his legs and bend his knees as she pulled the blanket away. She gently held his thigh and sighed as she examined him.
"Um... Dr. Long?" she poked her head up.
"Yes?"
Carlos face was red and she could tell he was in pain.
"I wanted a C-section done. Why are you-"
She shook her head.
"Sorry Carlos. You're nearly dilated enough. You're going to have to push." Carlos's jaw dropped and he threw his head back. He stared at James, blinking his tears away. James sighed and wiped them away with his thumb.
"If I had gotten up here in time maybe we could have scheduled one but there's no possible way now."
Carlos shut his eyes.
"How bad is it going to hurt?"
It was silent for a moment.
"Very badly."
Carlos hung his head.
James and Carlos stared at each other, their eyes sinking into each other. Dak had left for a drink and when he did James took his chance. He held Carlos's hand, the crying Latino in so much pain. He kept blinking and grunting, holding his belly, his legs shaking underneath the sheets as the babies moved around even more and he contractions got worse.
Suddenly Carlos felt an urge to push and he snapped,his whole body jerked and he let out a scream as the burning pain seared through him. James was up and running out the door, grabbing as fast as he could, his long legs carrying him far. She understood immediately and they raced down the hall, Dak suddenly appearing out of nowhere and running with them.
Them and a few nurses got into the room, Carlos screaming and gripping the bed sheets.
"Help! S-Something's coming!" he cried. immediately dragged a small stool,pulling on a mask and gloves as the other nurses pulled some on. They injected Carlos with something and he stopped screaming, but he still cried.
"I-It hu-hurts so b-badly." he cried softly. Dak and James knelt on either side of him,one of his hands in theirs. The doctors adjusted his legs,so they were on two small things. They held his legs open wide and Carlos felt the burning. He sobbed and cried, turning to tuck his head in James's shoulder.
"Okay, Carlos when the next contraction hits I need you to give me a big push okay?" Carlos nodded and waited a moment. When it hit him, it was big and he screamed loud. He pushed and urged the baby to come out but nothing happened.
Carlos groaned and threw his head back, sobbing.
"P-Please come out."
"Push Carlos." the next contraction came and Carlos leaned forward a bit, screaming loudly as he felt something move down and then he got the burning feeling of being stretched. Oh man it was big.
"Push."
"AHHHHH!" he leaned forward and screamed as the baby slid out a bit more.
"Okay Carlos, the crown is exposed, a few more pushes and it's out okay?"
Carlos nodded and when the next contraction hit he screamed and pushed with all his might, squeezing Dak and James's hands. He felt it slide out a bit faster.
"Shoulders are out."
Carlos panted, out of breath. His hair was matted to his head and he felt like he was going to pass out. His eyelids were heavy-he probably was.
"Come on. Stay awake the babies need you." James whispered gently as if he read his mind. Carlos nodded and with probably the last ounce of strength he screamed and the baby slid out into the doctor's arms. A large cry went through the room and Carlos smiled when the nurse went,
"It's a boy!"
"What a good pair of lungs." Dak chuckled. Carlos groaned and put his head on his pillow as he pushed the afterbirth out. James squeezed his hand a bit and smiled when they cut the cord.
"Carlos come on. You can do it."
Carlos slowly nodded, his eyes heavy as he looked down at the doctor, her hands covered in blood. She smiled behind her mask.
"Come on Carlos, you're almost done. Since you're stretched quite a bit I'm pretty sure this time will be a bit better." Carlos nodded and looked away before he got sick from looking at the blood.
He felt the other baby moving down and be whimpered as it did. The crown of the baby slid into view easily but the baby got stuck around it's shoulders. Carlos screamed and cried, squeezing Dak and James's hands until both boy were sure THEY'D pass out.
Then the baby slid out and fell into the doctors arms. Carlos sobbed and cried in pain as a small stream of blood dribbled from his stretched hole but he didn't care. The nurse smiled at him and cut the second umbilical cord.
"It's a girl."
Carlos smiled and the happiness went away as the nurse's next cry came with a horrible item.
"Oh geez, she's not breathing!" Carlos flew forward, sitting up as he stared at the baby, his whole body numbing in pain. The doctor began patting the baby's belly, the baby laying still until finally the doctor hurried her to the sink and drizzles cold water on her head.
A small cry emitted from her lips and her eye opened a little. Carlos felt tears dribbling when he heard her small cry and he tucked his face into James's shoulder again, sobbing.
"Oh s-she's alive," he hiccuped, "She's alive."
The nurses washed the little small babies off, wrapping them up and carried both to Carlos.
"We'll let you hold them but then we have to take care of you okay?" Carlos nodded and let go of James and Dak, reaching for his babies. He looked down at his little baby girl and boy. The boys hair was a light nutmeg brown, like Dak's and the girls hair was jet black. Their skin was pink and a bit pale, but Carlos knew it would take a few days for everything to settle.
The little girl opened her eyes a little bit, yawned and closed them. Carlos chuckled and sniffed. He leaned close and kissed his babies on their head.
"God I can't believe you're here." he whispered. But suddenly the babies were being taken and he was being forced to lay down. He watched, with joyful and sad tears as his babies were carried. The moment they were in the hall they started crying. Carlos closed his eyes and focused on the doctor beneath him.
"Yeah you ripped a little. I'll patch you up and we'll clean you up and then you can rest."
But Carlos just stared out the door, hoping for his babies to come back to him.
James stood with his head against the door frame. They had cleaned Carlos up and now he was sleeping, his hair sticking to his forehead. He looked horrible. He had bags under his eyes and he was pale.
"Probably from all that labor." he thought. It was true. It looked and sounded painful and James was glad he never had to deal with it. There was a small vibrating and he pulled his phone out to see it was Logan. He quickly answered it and walked down the hall, not wanting to wake up Carlos.
"Hello?"
"James?"
"Yeah Logan what's up?"
"Oh my god where are you guys? You're not at home or nothing and I've been trying to call you for hours!"
James pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.
"We're at the hospital."
"Oh god is Carlos okay?"
"Yeah he went into labor."
Logan gave a small squeak of happiness.
"Oh my gosh-oh my gosh! What do they look like? What gender are they?"
James chuckled.
"A boy and a girl. One had brown hair and the other had black."
There was a rustling and Kendall's voice popped up.
"Where are they-the hospital-why?-Carlos went in labor-"
"Guys."
"OH MY GOD! He had the babies?"
James chuckled when he ears Kendall and Logan exclaiming about the babies.
"Guys, look we're at the hospital. I got to go okay?"
"Ok we'll be there soon."
The phone line cut and James smiled as he walked back to Carlos's room.
Dak sat bent over, hands pressed together. The nurses were going to bring the babies back and the had to decide on who's baby was whose.
"Look guys we'll figure it out okay?" Carlos said.
James glared at Dak from the doorway and then glanced at Carlos. He nodded and sighed.
"But how?"
"I can help." they all looked to sitting in the corner. She smiled at all of them and stood. She was holding something and when she motioned to James for him to lift his hand, she presses it and clipped it.
"Ow!" James glared at the doctor but she went to the counter and held up a microscope. She placed his blood on the slide and smiled as she looked at it.
"Look, all I'm going to do is see the blood types and whichever babies blood matches James's blood,that's his baby. It's simple."
"And what if they don't have my blood?"
He stood forward and looked at her. She smiled again. James obviously thought her smiles were fake.
"That's why we have wonderful things called labs in hospitals now." she said sarcastically. She looked at Carlos and smiled.
"Have you decided on names honey?"
Carlos nodded and glanced from James to Dak as the babies were brought into the room. They were all anxious as the doctor stuck a small needle into the baby girl's arm. She squirmed and let out a cry and all the boys flinched.
It was one of the worst things to hear-a newborn in pain.
The doctor picked up the small slide and the needle.
"I'll be back when I have the test results." and she left.
The nurses slowly brought the babies to Carlos, who took them eagerly. He cuddled his baby girl and kissed the small band-aid on her arm. He hugged them close, his baby boy opening his eye to expose his little eye. Carlos peeped in and sighed. His eyes hadn't changed yet.
He gently pressed his cheek to their covered heads and inhaled. It was nice to know they were finally here. They smelled good too. When Carlos looked up Dak and James were next to him.
"Is it okay if we can hold them?"
'What if they hold the wrong baby?' Carlos thought. He shook his head.
Their faces went sad and they sat back. But James leaned over and held the girl fist. Carlos watched as he held the small hand in his giant one and suddenly the fist opened. The little fingernails were exposed and Carlos smiled as James let her grab his finger. She blinked and yawned.
"She's so adorable." James smiled.
Dak was staring at the boy, before he reached over and gently ran his fingers over his cheek. The boy seemed to smile, but the babies were nearly sleeping, so they didn't do much. Carlos didn't mind-he was way to tired to deal with two crying and squirming babies.
The doctor came back as Carlos and another nurse were feeding the babies, their hungry mouths suckling on the bottle nipples. She smiled and looked at the form and smiled wider. James and Dak stood. They looked horrible-they hadn't left the hospital for nearly a day and a half.
"Okay the results are back. It seems the baby girl is James's baby." she smiled and James and Dak looked at each other. They nodded at each other and then James went to go and finally hold his baby girl.
He took the baby from the nurse and held her close, cuddling her. He felt that feeling he'd been waiting for and smiled.
"I will always love you." he whispered to her rubbed their noses together gently, making the baby gurgle a little. She stared at James with big wide eyes and gave him a smile before blinking heavily. James sniffed and had to sit down, he was so happy. Joyful tears hung in his eyes and when he looked up at Dak, he saw the same reaction from him as he hugged his baby boy.
"Names? Have you guys picked out any names?"
Carlos stared at his baby girl. He hasn't really thought about names.
"Can we have a moment?" the nurse nodded and left. James and Dak stared at each other. Carlos sighed.
"This might be hard."
James shrugged and stared at his baby girl.
"She's so beautiful Carlos, she needs a gorgeous name."
Dak stared at his little boy and gently traced a small visible vein in his cheek.
"Veronica."
James and Carlos stared at Dak in surprise. He looked up and smiled.
"You should call her Veronica Elise. It's a pretty name."
Carlos's eyebrows scrunched together as he thought about it.
"Veronica Elise Diamond?...I like it." he smiled and looked up to see James holding his baby close, whisking her from Carlos quickly. He touched the babies nose ,eyes shining.
"Hey Veronica. Hi...hi Ronny." he smiled.
"Um okay, Veronica it is. But what about-"
"Call him Drake." James said without looking up. Dak stare at the baby for moment and nodded.
"Good, but middle name?"
Carlos let his head fall back in thought.
"Drake Richard Zevon."
Dak thought about it, trying to picture himself calling his baby Drake. It could work.
"So Veronica and Drake?" Carlos looked at the two boys and the nodded in reply. The nurse came in and scribbled down all the information before leaving again. Then Carlos shooed the boys home to get some rest, because he was being released tomorrow. They trudged from the room, James giving a look of horror when he gave Carlos Veronica. When the door shut, Carlos gently put the babies in their cribs next to his bed and sighed.
James or Dak? What would happen with his babies?
He decided to sleep on it.
