Jude sighed, picking up another one of Joie's toys.
"Sophia Joie Quincy, get your butt in here!" Jude screamed. Tears were streaming down her face. Tommy walked in the door to see Joie and Wyatt on the floor covered in baking flour. "OW!"
"Jude!" Tommy dropped his bad and ran into the bedroom, finding his wife on the floor with tears. He rushed do her side, dropping to his knees. She tried to push herself up. "Stop. stop." Tommy slid his arms around her, lifting her bridal-style and carrying her into the livingroom. At that moment, the door opened and Sadie walked in.
"Why aren't the ki-"
"Shut up, Sadie!" Tommy pulled his jacket back on and wrapped a blanket around Jude. "We have to go to the hospital." Tommy lifted Jude off the couch, running out into the December air. Tears continued to course down Jude's cheeks as the pressure against her cervix became increasingly painful. Tommy held Jude's hand and kept his other hand on the steering wheel as they sped to the hospital. By the time they arrived, there was already a gurney waiting at the entrance. "Thank the lord for Sadie Harrison."
Tommy jumped out of the call and lifted Jude out, placing her on the gurney.
"Look, I realize this isn't valet parking, but I refuse to leave her side long enough to move my car. So you move it, or it stays here." Tommy spoke to one of the interns. He looked to the attending, who nodded. Tommy tossed the keys to him. "Not a scratch." He ran after the interns and attendings as they rushed Jude to ICU...

An intern approached Tommy.
"Tom Quincy?"
Tommy looked up and sighed. The man handed Tommy his keys. "We have some information on your wife, if you'll follow me..." Tommy stood and followed the doctor. He lead Tommy down to NICU.
"Your wife is in recovery right now. We would have come to get you, but the bleeding was so bad that we rushed her straight to delivery." Tommy looked at the intern fearfully. "Your son, is right there." He pointed to a baby in front of them. "His lungs are a little under-developed, but he's perfectly healthy."
"And what about Jude?"
"She'll be up in about half an hour...You can go into him if you want to..."

Tommy sat in a chair, rocking Noah when the door opened.
"mmm...
Have you got love to burn?
Kisses for days?
Tonight we won't let anything
Get in our way
Have you got love
to burn
Kisses for days
Don't you wanna
Grab onto something real
And never let it get away
I don't have love to burn
Time to waist
Cuz I've waited far too
long So if it comes
true,
For this spark to become
A flame
I'll only have love to burn...for...you..."
"Tom?"
Tommy looked up from Noah and smiled. The intern whom Tommy had spoken to earlier was wheeling Jude over.
"Hey, hun..." He smiled, seeing his wife. "How're you feeling?"
"Fine.." Jude sighed and adjusted in the wheelchair. Tommy smiled and moved forward, laying the baby into Jude's arms. The intern let go of Jude's wheelchair and Tommy smiled up at him before he walked out.
Tommy caressed Jude's cheek with the back of his knuckles and she looked up at him, smiling briefly before looking back down at Noah.
"Hey, Noah..." Tears filled Jude's eyes as the black-haired baby opened his eyes. He cooed at her, laying his hand over Tommy's, which was resting over Judes'.
Tommy looked up at Jude and smiled.
"No, Quincy..." She said, smiling.
"And why not?"
"4 isn't
enough for you?"
"What?"
"Tommy?"
"Jude...what?"
"Tom, wake up..."
Tommy shook his head and looked around.
Joie...okay, she was there...and Wyatt...and Noah...and...Dancer?
"What?"
He looked at Jude, who was laying in the hospital bed.
"Honey, you were in a coma...For 4 months..."
"What?"
"After you got out of the hospital when we had Wyatt, you got in a car accident..."
"But...how?"
"It's a long story, Quincy...One that I'll explain in good time..." She caressed his cheek and smiled. Sadie and Kwest, who were standing at the door, ushered Dancer and Joie out of the room, and took Wyatt from Tommy's arms. He looked at Jude again. "And it's still a no, Quincy..."
"Why not?"
"4 Kids aren't enough for you!?" Jude giggled.
"Nope...I hated being an only child...And I want atleast 6, if not more..." He smiled, kissing Jude.
"Mmmmmmmm...Give me atleast 6 months before the next one..."...

a/n:Okay, so for those who didn't understand, Tommy got into an accident after Wyatt was born, so Dancer was never killed. Jude and Tommy did actually get married. Anyway...yeah...there you go. A good-sized update.
