Normal POV
Rocket continued to pace around the waiting room, panicking immensely about both Tia and the twins. He couldn't lose her and he didn't want to lose the twins either. They had refused to let him stay with her past a certain point while they tried to solve the problem and Rocket had been waiting for an hour so far and still had no new information which was making him go crazier and his parents weren't so calm either. Finally, after what seemed like hours, a doctor came to inform them about her progress but he had a grim expression on his face which made Rocket worry further.
'What happened? Is she ok? Are the twins ok…' Rocket began to question him rapidly, worrying deeply for his long-time girlfriend's safety and their twins. But he stopped when the doctor signalled for him to.
'Unfortunately, she isn't doing well. If she had to have been left any longer, she wouldn't have made it but thankfully, she will live but she's very weak,' he informed Rocket but he still hadn't answered the other two questions.
'What happened to her? Are the twins ok…' he asked once again and this time, got an answer.
'I'm sorry to bring you bad news but…'
Tia POV
I moved slightly as I felt really stiff but didn't open my eyes as I was wasting all my energy moving but I somehow managed to mumble the name of the one person I wanted right now, even if I had no idea where I was or what happened before I fell asleep.
'Rocket…' I mumbled and immediately heard a quiet reply.
'Hey Tia, I'm here,' the voice whispered and felt something lightly touch my forehead. I stopped moving so I could find the energy to open my eyes and I found Rocket looking at me with relief in his eyes. He was a blur at first but he finally came into clear view and that's also when I realised that I wasn't at home, in Rocket's house or even in Aarch Academy.
'Rocket…where am I? What happened…?' I began to mumble rapidly, looking round my surroundings but couldn't comprehend anything.
'Tia, you're fine now, honestly. You're in hospital,' he assured me but I panicked when he said the last bit.
'Why? Rocket, what happened?' I asked, now full of energy because of panic, fear and worry. I couldn't remember anything.
'Tia, you're only awake, don't worry about that now. You're fine,' he tried to tell me but I could see in his eyes that he was just saying that because he didn't want me to know why I was here but I wanted to and I was going to get it out of him.
'Rocket, tell me,' I ordered him but knew he wouldn't agree to straight away.
'Tia…'
'Tell me!' he gave me an uncertain look and didn't speak for a few minutes which made me snap. 'ROCKET! JUST TELL ME!' I exclaimed, getting annoyed by his antics. Thankfully, he gave in but when he told me I could see why he didn't want to tell me in the first place.
'Tia…listen…they tried their best but there was nothing they could do. You're here and that's the main thing…' he said but still wasn't making any sense. I know he was trying to make it easier on me but I was still clueless.
'Rocket, what do you mean?' I asked him wonderingly and he finally told me the truth.
'What I mean is…we've lost the twins,' he confessed to me and I suddenly felt the world crash on my shoulders. I could almost feel my face turn as white as a ghost and I suddenly felt a sick feeling in my stomach. 'This couldn't be happening,' I thought before Rocket continued and tried to calm me but it was going to be hard since I could see the tears circling in his eyes. 'Tia, I know this isn't what we wanted and I know it's hard but you have to pull through this and remember the bright side of it. Tia, you said it yourself, you're nineteen. And you can still have kids so we can try again in the future. I'm not saying this isn't bad but I am saying that it could be worse, try and remember that, please,' he pleaded with me and I couldn't help but admire his integrity.
'I can still have kids?' I asked, just to be sure and he nodded.
'We'll try again Tia, I promise,' he assured me and I nodded to show that I believed him and I would pull through (another) tough time. He kissed my forehead and left his forehead on mine for a few moments.
'I still wish it never happened,' I whispered to him, silent tears streaming down my face. He looked at me with tears in his own eyes.
'I know,' was all he could say before my tears became more violent and he took me in his arms and did his best to comfort me…
Normal POV
It had been nearly a week since the incident and Tia still hadn't found the guts to go home so she was staying in Rocket's but he preferred her to be there since he still wasn't content with leaving her after everything that had happened. Thankfully though, she wasn't overly depressed about everything. Obviously she was upset but not enough for her to try and kill herself or hold a shard of glass to her wrist which made Rocket ever so thankful. Also since the incident, they hadn't slept together even if they still shared passionate kisses. However, they both knew that it would take a while to get over it and they knew that to try again they would have to sleep together but they were happy with waiting until they were settled for a while. Right now though, they were cuddling on his couch while his parents were doing some business in the greenhouse so they had some time alone when Tia suddenly spoke.
'You know, I don't think I've ever been in hospital so many times in a few years than I have these few months,' she joked, trying to get a bit of conversation going and was glad to hear him laugh.
'Yeah but we managed to get through it every time, right?' he said confidently and she looked up at him with a huge smile on her face.
'Right,' she replied firmly and gave him a passionate kiss which lasted for a few minutes before breaking away and she snuggled deeper into his chest…
Rocket awoke and looked to find Tia sleeping peacefully on top of him and noticed that they were still lying on the couch so he presumed they fell asleep. He also noticed a blanket around them which hadn't been there before so he knew it was probably his parent's workings. He smiled to himself as he began to graze her arm and five minutes later, her eyes fluttered open; taking in the world around her first before realising she was lying on someone and turned her head up to see Rocket smiling down at her and she rested her chin on his chest.
'Morning,' she mumbled, enjoying the touch of his fingertips on her arm.
'Morning,' he replied before giving her a quick and passionate kiss and then enjoying each other's company for a while when a thought suddenly hit Tia.
'Rocket…' she began.
'Yeah?'
'Do you think my Dad knows I lost them?' she asked and turned her head up towards him. This question stunned Rocket for a moment before he composed himself enough to answer.
'I don't know Tia but I do know that he will eventually realise what he's done and apologize. For now though, I'm still too mad to let him near you,' he said firmly and Tia opened her mouth to answer but he held his fingers to her lips to stop her. 'Tia, don't. I will forgive him someday but for now, I'm angry so just let me be,' he asked and Tia sighed before giving in and lying back down in his chest. Rocket was about to suggest they get up before the doorbell went. 'I had better get that,' he said before Tia reluctantly got off him and sat up in the couch. Rocket swiftly kissed her forehead and went to get the door. The second he opened it, he froze to the spot. 'You,' he said firmly.
'I want to see my daughter.'
