About a year) waited for the next chapter of this story you have no idea what it means to me that you are still taking the time to read my stuff. Biggest thanks of all go out to Reesa for not only reminding me to update but also for helping me update. This means the world to me. Happy reading!
The last few months had been tiring. Fiona looked as if she was about to burst. She was eight and a half months pregnant and needed help with almost everything she did. Of course Adam didn't complain and helped every way he could from tying her shoes to helping her shower. Sometimes Fiona would catch him watching her with love in his eyes. He loved every moment of seeing her pregnant. It's something he never thought could happen and thanked his lucky stars every night for her and their babies.
It was the middle of September and it was HOT. Fiona and Adam were in bed sleeping with the balcony doors wide open. There wasn't much of a breeze but it was enough to let them sleep. At about three a.m. Adam awoke to Fiona breathing hard and holding her belly. He turned over and rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"I think my water just broke" she replied
He looked down at her legs to see them soaked, as well as the bed.
"Let's go" he stated as he jumped up and put shorts and a t shirt on. Then helped Fiona put on a summer dress. He then quickly grabbed her bag they had packed for the hospital trip and helped her get down the stairs. Once he helped her into the car he ran around to the drivers side and jumped in. In moments they arrived at the hospital and rushed inside. Nurses surrounded Fiona and had her in a hospital gown in what seemed like an instant. Adam was given scrubs and told to change. He put them on over his clothes so that he wouldn't have to leave her side. Fiona screamed in pain from the contractions. One after another after another. Hour after hour after hour. Time passed and Fiona wasn't dilating enough for the babies to come out.
Fiona finally had had enough "Tell the doctor to do a c-section. I can't handle this anymore" she said through gritted teeth.
It had been a full twenty four hours of contractions and she was spent.
"I think that's his call. If he thought that was an option he would've said something by now" Adam said. Hopeful that she wouldn't get upset with him for saying it.
"Adam... Go tell him now" she demanded
And off he went looking for the doctor without another word. The doctor was standing at the nurses station reading a chart. As Adam got closer he noticed it was Fiona's.
"Hey doc..." The doctor turned around and saw Adams anxiety all over his face and cut him off before he could say anything.
"We are prepping the room for a c-section. We have waited long enough and I'm not too sure how much of this your wife could take." He said as they walked back toward the room "all I need from you is to keep her calm"
"I can try" he answered as they walked into the room and Fiona was right in the middle of a contraction when the doctor noticed Fiona had finally fully dilated and they could easily see the top of a head. The doctor quickly setup and told Fiona to push. Adam watched as Devin slid right out and into the doctors waiting hands. He was handed off to a nurse who hurried to clean him off and clear his airway. Devin immediately began to cry loudly.
"Adam check him. Make sure he's ok" she begged
"I will once Kaylynn is out too."
"Fiona, I need you to concentrate. I need you to push" the doctor firmly stated as another contraction hit Fiona. Adam continued to hold Fiona's hand tightly as she pushed and pushed.
Ten minutes later Kaylynn finally decided to come out and she came out screaming louder than Devin. Fiona finally was able to relax. She laid back onto the bed and let out a huge sigh of relief as a nurse began attending to her and stitching her up. Adam was instantly at the side of the nurse who was cleaning up Kaylynn. He counted their fingers and toes, making sure they were perfect. The nurse wrapped them both in blankets and he finally got a look at their faces. The two of them were the most beautiful babies he had ever seen. Kaylynn was placed in his arms first and Devin was handed to Fiona. Adam looked over in Fiona's direction and couldn't even manage to choke out words. Fiona also began to tear up a bit. Both of the babies had stopped crying and were just looking around, taking in the sights. About an hour later, after having enough time to get used to the babies in their arms they decided to call their parents. Adam went first. Two rings into the call Audra picked up
"Adam it's six in the morning. Why are you calling this early"
"I thought you might want to come meet your grand kids" he replied. The smile on his face evident even though she couldn't see him.
