Scarlett had never felt such pain rake through her body. She screamed as she had never screamed in her life…
Evelien held her hand and coached her to breath and Maria counted.
"Okay Catherine, this is it. PUSH!!!" Maria nearly yelled.
"That's it! That's it, keep pushing!!"
Scarlett pushed and pushed, and finally gave up.
"You did it!" Maria said calmly. She cut the cord and Evelien started to wash the baby.
"Catherine" Evelien said, "You have a handsome little boy."
Scarlett let out a cry.
"I know you wanted a girl, but its okay." Evelien said soothingly.
"Not that…" Scarlett said. "The pain…" and she started heaving.
Evelien looked at Maria, and Maria looked back under the sheets.
Scarlett was still bleeding too much. Then it happened…
"Catherine listen to me." Maria said slowly, "Can you hear me?"
Scarlett nodded her head. "Um hum."
"Honey, I need you to hold on. Stay with us… I need you to keep pushing. You have to get the sac out."
Scarlett didn't ask, she just let out another yell. "Rhett!!!!" His name practically echoed out to the countryside.
"Keep pushing Catherine!" Maria commanded.
Scarlett gave one more good push, crying and screaming, then she couldn't anymore.
…
"Catherine?"
"Catherine, can you hear me?"
Scarlett's eyes fluttered and she opened them wearily.
"The baby is dead." She said.
"No! No! Honey, the baby is alive." Evelien reassured her.
Evelien showed her the beautiful baby boy in her arms.
"Look honey. He is alive."
Scarlett smiled weakly, "He's alive?" She looked to Maria for conformation, to make sure she wasn't delusional.
"Yes. In fact, you not only have a beautiful boy, you have a beautiful baby girl too." Maria said bringing her daughter to meet her mother.
Evelien placed the boy in Scarlett's one arm and Maria placed her daughter in the other.
"I have two?"
"Yes, you had twins."
Scarlett looked at the bundles newly placed in her arms, and was beside herself.
"Okay you need to rest now." Evelien said and Maria nodded in agreement.
"Yes, she is right, you need your strength back as soon as possible."
The ladies took the babies back from Scarlett to finish measuring them and cleaning up.
"How bad is it? Will I ever be able to have children again?"
Maria looked at her and said, "I don't see why not, you made it through this pregnancy just fine. You are a strong woman, and as long as you take it easy, you should be fine. But just concentrate on getting better before you plan on having any more babies." She said with a laugh.
"Okay." She said with a smile and drifted off to sleep.
