Part 26

Seven months later

Riinnnnggg!

Hotch kicked up his cell phone after he saw the call ID and asked gruffly, "Anastasia is in labor?"

"She is," the male voice of Thierry Delacroix said on the other end of the line

"Spencer and I will be there shortly," Hotch promised. "We've both been looking forward to this day and neither of us can thank you enough for doing this for us, either one of you."

"We know," Thierry voice answered calmly. "There's no need to thank us, we owed you one."

"I disagree, but I suppose it doesn't matter," Hotch admitted.

"No, it really doesn't, so we'll just have to agree to disagree," Thierry said.

"Well, at least if there's one thing to be grateful for and that we're not out of town," Hotch said before telling Thierry the two of them would be there in half an hour.

Spencer for his part was already beginning to get dressed as he had known it had to be Thierry this late at night unless it was JJ calling them to come in for an important case, like a kidnapping of a child.

"There is probably no need to rush, as I'm sure it'll be at least a couple of hours," Spencer said, "Babies come in their own time."

"Yes, but they said she's already been in labor for about three hours and this is not her first pregnancy so it likely won't take as long," Hotch said. "Thierry said it was going well, and he suspected it won't be more than another hour, before the first pup's born as Anastasia is already fully dilated."

"It'll likely be less, since that is the case," Spencer said starting to hurry as with this new information he knew the didn't have much time before their first child was born and he wanted to be there when that happened, even if he knew he wouldn't get a chance to see his or her right away. "Once a woman is fully dilated the birth is usually relatively quick unless something is wrong, so I suspect that it'll be no more than a couple of hours before all 6 are born."

"Let's get going," Hotch said, as he finished pulling on his shoes and strode towards the bedroom door. "We'll leave a note for Maddy and Lisa so they don't worry about us," Hotch added.

"We leave so many times in middle of the night I doubt very much that they would worry about us, but still it is only common courtesy to leave a note for them," Spencer said following his lover downstairs.

~~~The Alpha Werewolf and his Mate~~~

35 minutes later, Hotch strode into the waiting room of the maternity ward with Spencer a few steps behind.

"How's it going, Thierry? Have any of them been born yet?" asked Hotch.

"It's going fine at least the last I heard from one of the nurse's who keeps coming out and giving me regular reports, out of courtesy, because she knew I'd be worried about my wife since she's carrying so many. I know that having multiples as a normal thing for us, but Anastasia is my life."

"Worrying is normal," Spencer told Thierry shaking the man's hand, "but Anastasia should be just fine, as having multiples is normal for us."

"I know, but I'll worry until all your children are born and I know Anastasia is okay," said Thierry.

"I would certainly worry about you if you could get pregnant naturally," Hotch told Spencer quietly. "I worry about you out in the field all the time, but I would never try to stop you from living your life as there is such thing as being too overprotective. If I tried to keep you from doing your job or to control your actions that wouldn't be an equal partnership and in a way, it would be abuse, because that means I wouldn't trust you to be careful out in the field when I know you always are, just as I am. Doing something like that is a good way to ruin a relationship and even if we are mates we might never recover from it. I won't ever go down that road where I control your every action."

"I worry about you too," Spencer said, "but then that's only natural, even for normal couples to worry about their spouse, but I understand that when you're Lifemates those emotions are intensified."

"That's certainly true," Thierry said entering the conversation. "Personally, I don't know how you and Aaron do what you do and act all professional, because I would be frantic if Anastasia and I were in dangerous professions like you are, every time she was out in the field."

"We internalize our emotions," Hotch explained, "and don't let it affect us while we're working, but I assure you the sex afterwards when we're finally done with the case and back home is always spectacular and that's how we handle the worry about the other."

Spencer blushed at Aaron's words and although he knew they were accurate he still he didn't like to talk about his sex life with anyone, even if he knew Thierry would understand considering he too was mated and all Lifemates handled worry for their other halves in similar ways.

The three continued to talk and Hotch and Spencer tried their best to distract Thierry from worrying to much, and told him several amusing stories about the cases they had worked recently, the ones that weren't top secret that is.

"You know as soon as our pups get a little bigger, maybe some of yours could come and play with ours so that they'd have friends around their own age," Hotch suggested and Thierry nodded thinking it was a good idea.

"I'll have to talk it over with my wife first of course, but I don't see her having any objections and it will give ours someone to play with besides, each other on a regular basis instead of it being a special treat to be able to play with some of the other children of the pack. Our youngest aren't that much older than yours, only a couple years."

"Good, because we won't be able to take the children out to play with others of their kind very often, not with our jobs, although I know that Maddy and Lisa and Beatrice who we just hired would be willing to transport them and probably will at some point."

"I'll get back to you," Thierry promised. "Anastasia won't object I'm sure, but still it's better to check with her first then to get myself in trouble, by agreeing to something without asking her."

"We'll be expecting to hear from you," Spencer said with a smile. "I know I've said it before, but thank you and thank Anastasia as well for agreeing to do this for Aaron and me."

"You're more than welcome, because Anastasia and I probably wouldn't have met if not for Aaron here, though I know he disagrees. Whether we would have met or not without Aaron introducing us we shall never know, so instead be we'll forever be grateful and this was a way to pay back the debt we owed him."

Hotch said nothing, because Thierry and Anastasia were well aware that he disagreed that they owed him anything for introducing them. It didn't really matter what he thought, for if the Delacroixs felt like they had owed him, well, now that debt was paid in full as far as he was concerned as Hotch was well aware that carrying six infants wasn't for sissies, even if it had originally started out as four.

Finally the same nurse that had been keeping them updated came to the doorway for the final time and announced, "Your wife is just fine, Mr. Delacroix and all six of your children are healthy. They're so healthy in fact that their lungs are fully developed that I don't believe that any of them will even need to stay overnight in an incubator, although that's for the doctor to decide."

"Can I see my wife?" Thierry asked immediately a great deal of the worry easing from his body language and his expression, though there was some present and would be until he could see Anastasia for himself.

"She's resting, and she'll probably be out for at least another hour as we gave her something to help her rest considering she just gave birth to six children," the nurse replied.

"Did you have to do a c-section?" Thierry asked next and both Spencer and Hotch listened to the nurse's answer with interest curious themselves.

Spencer and Hotch knew that Thierry had already signed the consent forms for c-section to be done if his wife couldn't give birth naturally, not that he had expected any problems. Still the medical staff expected it and in fact had tried to insist that Anastasia have a c-section anyway instead of going for the natural birth option. The doctor had tried to tell Thierry that there was no way all six babies would be turned in the proper direction and that a c-section was just safer. Thierry and Anastasia though had insisted that they try the natural birth option and only do a c-section if the doctor thought Anastasia couldn't you give birth naturally or she was some kind of medical danger.

Werewolf females had been giving birth naturally ever since their species had existed, even if they were carrying six pups at a time, which was relatively rare compared to other multiples such as twins or triplets and so it shouldn't be problem for Anastasia.

"It was so amazing," the nurse said with wonder in her voice. "Your wife kept insisting that she didn't want a c-section unless absolutely necessary and Dr. Richards kept insisting that she'd never give birth naturally to all six and she'd be lucky to pop more than two of them without the operation. Your wife proved the doctor wrong and the doctor was surprised when the first one slid out of the birth canal as slick as you please and the second followed less than five minutes later. When the third one slid out only two minutes after that the doctor went from being surprised to totally astonished as he had been so certain that a c-section was going to be necessary. All six were born naturally and Dr. Richards went away muttering to himself how it was nearly impossible that all the babies had been facing head first to exit the birth canal. I kept hearing him mutter miracle over and over again. Really it is something of a miracle, because normally there is no way that so many babies would be facing in the proper direction in order to be born from a woman's birth canal," the nurse admitted. "Your wife didn't even seem to have any trouble and it was as if she gave birth to multiples every day."

Thierry nodded listening intently, but he knew that his wife had given birth to four sets of multiples before this already and they had 10 pups, although she never had six at one time before as there had been just one set of quadruplets and three sets of twins and they were planning in a couple of years to have some more but after that they'd probably stop.

"So is it girls or boys?" asked Spencer.

"It's some of both, which is only to be expected," the nurse told Spencer when Thierry nodded at her.

"So how many of each?" Hotch asked next.

"Mr. and Mrs. Delacroix have an even number of boys and girls, with four of them being two sets of identical twins, one of girls and one of boys," the nurse said shaking her head. Spencer and Hotch exchanged an excited and happy look because that was exactly what they had wanted.

"I've never seen anything like it," the nurse added with amazement and wonder in her voice.

"I think we'll head up to the nursery while you go see your wife," Hotch told Thierry who nodded in agreement.

"Once I make sure for myself that Anastasia's okay I'll join you in the nursery," Thierry said

"Thank you very much for letting me know that my wife's okay but if you let me see her for just a few minutes so I can check for myself..."

"I understand," the nurse said and she did indeed, as she could see the worry etched on the handsome man's face. "I'll take you to her room and let's you have a few minutes with her."

"Thank you," Thierry told the nurse sincerely.

"You're welcome," the nurse replied.

~~~The Alpha Werewolf and his Mate~~~

"They are so gorgeous," Spencer said, as he gazed lovely at the infant in his arms.

The two of them were in the nursery sitting in rocking chairs holding two of the children as they talked. The hospital staff now knew that Anastasia had been carrying the six children in her belly for Hotch and Reid and that she had already signed away parental rights. The hospital staff had been astonished at that revelation, as after all, Anastasia was happily married to Thierry and they were surprised that her husband had agreed to it. Neither of the Delacroixs had bothered to explain that they felt they had owed Aaron for introducing them and just said that Aaron Hotchner was a good friend and he and Spencer had been looking for a surrogate to carry four embryos, which was the legal limit. That two of those embryos had split so that there were six instead of the original four was astonishing, but had happened. They had then explained that none of Anastasia's eggs had been used, and that they came from elsewhere, so the fetuses weren't technically, related to them and that Anastasia had just been the carrier of those six precious lives. When the doctors asked even more questions the Delacroixs had refused to answer, because it was none of their business and so the medical staff had finally given up, although not happily, but they really had no business asking questions anyway since it had all been done legally.

"They are," Hotch immediately agreed. "I'm so thankful for friends like Anastasia and Thierry as we would've had to get a human surrogate if they hadn't been so willing to do this for us and that would have been difficult as we would've had to interview each one to see if they were suitable or not, so at least this way we didn't have to do that."

"Not to mention, as you told Dylan you doubted that we could have convinced a human surrogate go to carry more than twins, which is understandable from a human woman's point of view. Carrying multiples isn't for sissies and carrying more than two can be dangerous for a human at least," Spencer added.

"Oh, even a female werewolf carrying more than two has its own set of problems, though not as many as with the human female," Hotch said, quietly well aware of the camera's within the nursery. "A lot of the strictures that apply to human women apply to female werewolves to, eating a great deal for example so that the babies are a healthy weight when they're born."

"Yes, that's true enough," Spencer acknowledged. "So what are we going name these beauties?"

"Well, I think we should name one of the girls Anastasia, although we'll call her Ana for short in honor of the woman who was willing to carry so many pups for us."

"I like that," Spencer said immediately, "as Anastasia is a beautiful name. So of we're going to name one Anastasia does that mean we name one of the boys Thierry, which is almost exclusively French and isn't usually seen outside that country just so you know."

"Yes, I like it," Hotch decided, "so Thierry Reid-Hotchner."

"Has a nice ring to it," Spencer said trying it out himself. "What about the other four?"

"Well, I don't want to hurt you or anything, but I think we should name the second girl Diana after your mother," Hotch suggested watching his mate's reaction carefully. "I know you miss your mother very much, even if I also know she wasn't much of one after you were six or so, through no fault of her own."

Spencer looked choked up for a moment and on the verge of bursting into tears, but Hotch could feel that his mate was extremely touched and happy with this suggestion.

"I think that's a wonderful idea," Spencer told his mate kissing his cheek in thanks, once he had recovered.

"Alright then, what about for the other two boys and the remaining girl? Any suggestions?" asked Hotch.

"Well, we could try to use names from our teammates like Derek for one of the boys for example or Jennifer for the remaining girl or we don't have to name them after people we know and we can come up with things that are original and don't belong to anybody in our close circle of friends and associates," Spencer said.

"Well, if we do name the one remaining girl Jennifer it shouldn't cause a problem with JJ, since she always goes by her initials and only very rarely uses just Jennifer, except when she's introducing herself. If we name her Jennifer that would be fine with me and we could call her Jenny just to give her a nickname that further distances her from the Jennifer we know," Hotch suggested.

"I think JJ would be very pleased to have one of our children named after her," Spencer suggested and Hotch nodded in agreement.

"Well, that takes care of the girls and two of the boys so what about the last one?" asked Hotch, "and no we're not naming him Derek and not because I don't like the name, but because it will make Morgan insufferable and he can be insufferable enough without that distinction."

"Yes, that's true," Spencer admitted with an adorable little grin. "What about Gideon then? After Jason Gideon? Gideon is a nice strong name and means feller of trees or powerful warrior."

Hotch thought about it and realized this was his mate's way of honoring the man that was more a father than his own was, even though neither he or Spencer had seen or heard from Jason Gideon in several years not ever since he had left the BAU and cut off all contact with his old teammates.

Hotch knew that his old friend Jason Gideon had been emotionally wounded after Frank had killed Sarah his old friend from college and that he had left the FBI without a word except for a letter to Spencer, which had deeply hurt the younger man. Hotch knew that this was Reid's way of saying that he forgave Gideon for leaving and for not contacting them or at least him in the last few years.

Hotch knew that it would make his mate happy if he agreed to it and Gideon was a nice strong name.

"Gideon is a good name and it's not too common as a given name nowadays," Hotch said. "What about Gideon Dylan?"

"I'm sure my brother will be thrilled and Gideon is still well used, even if it's not quite as common," Spencer said. "However, I have a suggestion."

"What's your suggestion?" asked Hotch with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I was just thinking that we could use Emily and Penelope as middle names for two of the girls," Spencer explained.

"I like that idea," Hotch decided, "and then that means we can use David for the middle name of one of the boys after David Rossi, of course.

"So Diana Penelope Reid-Hotchner," Spencer suggested, "and Jennifer Emily Reid-Hotchner ."

"So what about a middle name for Ana?" asked Hotch.

"Why don't you pick? Do you have any personal preferences?" asked Spencer

"Not really, except for Anastasia, Diana and David that I suggested," Hotch said. "I'm definitely not going to name any of children after my mother or my father, even as a middle name as they weren't exactly nurturing or supportive when I was growing up. Besides, I hate the name Helen with a passion. You go ahead and pick out names you like and I'll tell you if I approve or not."

"Okay," Spencer finally agreed. "For the last girl I was thinking Bella as a middle name after mine and my brothers best friend. I know the real life Bella will be thrilled to have one of our children named after her or we can use another version like Belle for example."

"I really like Bella," Hotch decided, "and I'm know she was a good friend to you, so it's okay with me, as it's a very pretty name and I know Dave would approve, considering it is Italian and means beautiful."

"Alright then," Spencer said thrilled that his mate had accepted the names that he had chosen. "Do you want to pick out the other male names?"

"Leonard after one of the people that helped you and your brothers so much by giving you a place to stay while you were in college and teaching you so what you needed to know," Hotch said immediately. "The only reason I didn't suggest Gertrude is I don't like the name that much and I know that the woman who owns it hates it."

"That she does," Reid agreed with a smile, as he thought about one of the people who had helped him and his brothers so much. "In fact, if she ever learned of it she'd probably slap both of us on the back of the heads for cursing a poor innocent baby with the name."

Hotch laughed at that and thought that his mate was probably right, because from all she had learned of Gertrude she was a tough cookie, as well as being unfailingly kind, generous and loving. She never took any crap from anybody at least from what Spencer had told him of her as he had never met her or her husband Leo.

"Leo, on the other hand, was much more easygoing, so I'm sure you can guess which one was in charge in their relationship," Spencer laughed.

"Gertrude," Hotch said immediately.

"Definitely, as she was a tough, no nonsense lady, but also one of the kindest, goodhearted people I have ever known. She had this way about her that made my brothers and I feel as if we weren't accepting charity and refused to accept money from us once we began tutoring for our room and board," Spencer reminisced. "I think Leo will get a kick out of us using his name for one of our boys. Of course, Leonard is also a perfectly common name to and should cause no comment when they start school."

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Hotch said, "they are only just a day old after all."

"True enough," Reid said. "Well, at least we have names to give the nurse to put on their birth certificates since it was left to us to name them."

"Which is only proper considering we are their parents and Anastasia and Thierry signed over parental rights to us. I'll be forever grateful to Thierry and Anastasia for what they did for the two of us."

"Me too," Spencer agreed soberly. "We owe them so much, even if I know they will disagree."

"We do," Hotch agreed immediately. "So to change the subject how do you keep identical twins from getting confused?"

"Different colored clothes and different styles to, is a place to start," Spencer answered immediately causing Hotch to smile as he had known that his mate was bound to have some idea. "Also make sure you put them down in the same crib every night and not one of the others at least while they are this small. Once they start to develop their own personalities it will be easier."

"Unless they start to act the same way in order to fool us," Hotch suggested dryly. "I've heard it happens."

"It does," Spencer admitted. "We'll just have to make sure that they each develop their own individual personalities, by treating them differently from the beginning. In other words, we treat them as individuals and not as the same person in two bodies. That's a mistake that a lot of people make with identical twins you know, so of course, they act the same. There will be some similarities of course, that's expected, but hopefully, they will be different enough for people to be able to tell them apart, without any trouble. Of course, upbringing has a lot to do with what a child's personality turns out to be, but so do their environment and their genes. I can't see our identical boys or identical girls playing practical jokes for instance as we are both pretty serious people and never did that kind of thing,"

"Definitely not, as my father would not have been pleased if I had," Hotch said.

Spencer knew that meant that Winston Hotchner would have likely beat his son black and blue, maybe even accidentally broken a bone in disciplining his son, if he had dared played a practical joke and gotten caught for it, so no, Aaron wouldn't have dared played a prank for that reason alone. Spencer shivered internally as he thought that in someways his mate's childhood had been much worse then his own, because while he and his brothers had been neglected and often yelled at for no reason, they had never been physically abused. He knew however, that Aaron didn't want his sympathy and so he said nothing just gave his mate a look of love that promised more later.

"I'll make sure I take you up on that look later," Hotch promised his mate softly with a playful leer.

"I'm looking forward to it," Spencer answered just a softly with a quick look of longing on his face, since the nurses kept coming back to check on the two of them and neither Spencer or Hotch were much for public displays of affection, especially in a place like a hospital as both were private people and felt no need to put their relationship on display. Still, they also refused to hide the fact that the two of them were a couple, they just didn't make it obvious, and unless you were observant you'd never know.

The two men were quiet, as they fed their two little bundles of joy their bottles and then switched with the nurse's help for two more who they also fed.

"Well, they certainly have good appetites," Hotch remarked, as he looked down at the little girl he was holding with such a look of love on his face that it choked Spencer up.

"Part of that is that they aren't preemies as it's usually just babies that are born early that have trouble taking the bottle or at least don't eat as much as they should. Yes, these six were born a couple of weeks early, but that's really good for sextuplets, but means that they are considered fully developed. Despite gestation being 40 weeks most single babies are born around the 38 week mark anyway, so this is considered perfectly normal and also full term," Spencer explained.

It went without saying that this was the same for werewolf children and Hotch got the message without it being verbally acknowledged.

"Thanks to Anastasia being able to carry them full term there likely won't be any of the problems that happen with preemies a lot of times depending on their weight and several other factors."

The nurse who had been listening commented, "You sure do know a lot about it."

"He's often called our expert on everything," Hotch told the nurse with a grin. "We both work with the FBI, the Behavioral Analysis Unit specifically and his knowledge has come in handy more than once when we're trying to solve a particularly difficult case and it helps that he remembers everything he reads or sees as his memory is eidetic."

Spencer blushed, as a nurse looked at him appraisingly. "Aaron, there's no reason to bring up that kind of thing," Spencer protested while Hotch just grinned at him.

"You're too modest for your own good," Hotch told Spencer in an unrepentant tone of voice, "and if you're not going to toot your own horn then I'll do it for you, especially when I think it's necessary."

The nurse laughed at Reid's expression, which was a combination of embarrassment, respect and knowing that his partner was right he was to modest.

"Our crime solving percentage has gone up considerably since Spencer here joined the team," Hotch added with a mischievous expression.

Hotch knew that he would likely be in trouble with his mate later for embarrassing him, but it would be worth it, because he really did think that Spencer was way too modest for his own good, which is why people were able to walk all over him a lot of times. Only when he wasn't around though, to prevent it as he always stood up for the younger man, since that was what an Alpha was supposed to do for his mate, especially when they wouldn't defend themselves.

"So when will we be able to take our children home?" Spencer asked the nurse changing the subject.

The nurse's lips quirked slightly and Hotch knew that she understood that Spencer had changed the subject on purpose, but he said nothing and neither did the nurse.

"Well, considering how big they are, especially for sextuplets and because they weren't born early, which is a miracle, it'll probably be today or tomorrow, but I'll have to check with the doctor to be sure. They are very healthy though and their Apgar scores are 9 and 10, so I suspect they can probably go home sometime today."

"Good we want to get them home and settled in and we've already hired a nanny for them because both of us have to go into work tomorrow," Hotch said.

"We took today off, once we realized that Anastasia was in labor," Spencer added, "as we wanted to be here."

"Well, you now have six precious lives to raise and that's not going to be an easy task," the nurse said. "Not even with help."

"We're up to the challenge," Hotch calmly assured the nurse not mentioning that he had raised 8 children with Maddy's and Lisa's help from the time they were just a few weeks old and then a few years later added another four, so Hotch knew that he and Spencer could more than handle the challenge, of raising six more.

"Aaron and I never would have gone ahead with IVF if we weren't sure we could handle it or at least gone with twins instead of quadruplets."

"I'm amazed that you're friend agreed to carry quadruplets in the first place, as even carrying one isn't for sissies," the nurse said shaking her head in wonder. "That's a good friend you have and you got two sets of identical twins so the two of you sure are lucky."

"Neither one of us will disagree with that statement," Hotch told the nurse with a smile, as he continued to feed little girl he was holding her bottle, while Spencer did the same with one of the boys. The little girl sure was sucking it down quickly and it was already nearly empty.

Hotch privately thought all his and Spencer's children were gorgeous as most of them had his dark hair and slightly darker complexion, except for the two identical twin boys which had his mate's brown hair or at least the fuzz indicated it would be that color once it grew in. Right now their eyes looked blue, but Hotch knew that in the next few months their eyes would change color either to dark brown like his or golden brown like his mate's.

"So have you decided on names?" the nurse asked and both Spencer and Hotch nodded.

Spencer reeled off the list of names they had decided on and indicated which children should have which names and also made sure the nurse spelled them correctly, even though there was nothing unusual about the names they had chosen. Well, except perhaps, for Thierry.

"Those are really nice names," the nurse said sincerely, "and most of them are not at all unusual, except for Thierry and Gideon. It's very nice of you to name one of your sons and one of your daughters after the couple that helped you out so much."

"We both wanted to acknowledge that we owe the Delacroixs a lot," Hotch said and the nurse nodded. "They've been good friends to me and Spencer for number of years, but I never expected them to make such a generous offer. I figured that Spencer and I would have to find a surrogate, a woman that was unmarried and willing to carry a couple of children that they wouldn't be able to keep."

"And Gideon might not be used that much anymore, but it's directly out of the Bible and means feller of trees or powerful warrior and is in honor of a good friend of ours that left the team several years back," Spencer said. "It was his surname though, not his first."

The nurse nodded impressed at how these two men were honoring their family and friends by naming their children after them.

"If it had been necessary we would have made sure that we had all the proper paperwork and that whoever was chosen as a surrogate signed it before we agreed to use them," Hotch said, "so that they wouldn't be able to change their minds, but thanks to our friends offer we knew that the paperwork wouldn't be necessary. We've known them for a long time and they're just too honest to go back on our deal, even if it was just a verbal one and they agreed to give up the children to us once they were born. Anastasia did sign away her parental rights however, though technically, they aren't related to her as it wasn't her eggs that were used. Still, better safe than sorry, as the saying goes and it was a good precaution just in case there was some kind of legal problem somewhere down the road."

"You're meticulous man I see," the nurse said approvingly.

"Both of us are," Spencer told the nurse. "We wouldn't be working at the BAU if we weren't extremely observant and good at what we do, which a lot of times overflows into our private lives as well. I was never a Boy Scout, but I believe in their motto and that's 'always be prepared' with my personal added addendum, 'for anything', mostly because we often encounter just about anything in our jobs."

"Well, I'll just go fill out the birth certificates and be back in a few minutes," the nurse said having written down all the names that Spencer had given her. "I'll also check with the doctor and see when you can take the children home."

"Thank you," Hotch said sincerely and the nurse thought it was a shame that both men were taken and with each other no less as they were both quite handsome and she wouldn't have minded dating either one if they had been single, though the brown haired one was a little bit on the young side for her, but still she would've given it a shot if he had been available.

The nurse left with those thoughts circling in her head and went to do what she had said she would leaving the two men alone, well not really, as there were other nurses that would watch them to make sure they had everything they needed.
