A/N: AHHHHHH. It has been what feels like forever since I last updated! It's been over a month now! I'm sorry! I just got busy with school and lacked the inspiration for this next chapter. I hope that I'll be able to write more but I'm not really sure. I definitely will try my hardest though! Now, on with the story and please review. =D
Two weeks later…Tempe and Seeley are asleep and the alarm goes off. Seeley reaches over his wife and gently turns it off. He wraps his arm around her waist and places his face in the crook of her neck. She snuggles back into him and he tightens his hold on her. Her eyelids softly flutter open and Seeley kisses her forehead.
"Morning beautiful." He whispers in her ear. She smiles and turns in his arms so she's looking up into his warm brown pools.
"Morning handsome." She whispers and then places her lips firmly over his. His hands drift down and grab her ass, pulling her closer to him and his morning erection. She mewls softly into his mouth and he takes advantage of that sound to press his tongue past her full lips. The kiss deepens and their tongues duel. Tempe feels the moisture pooling between her thighs and his erection rubbing against her swollen nub. One of his hands drifts up and cups her breast as one of her hands stays on his shoulder as the other travels down his hard body and grabs his ass, pushing his erection into her heat further.
"Baby…" He groans, breaking their kiss to take a deep breath. She smiles up at him and looks a leg over his hip. He jerks into her at feeling her heat through the fabric of his pants.
"I want you." She says in a husky voice. He groans as her hand brushes his hardness and he jerks into her hand. She smirks and begins rubbing him through his sweatpants.
"Baby…" He whispered, reaching for her wrist. She slapped his hand away though and kept rubbing firmly up and down. His breath caught as she stroked his head.
"Baby…if you don't stop, I'm going to come in my pants." He whispered, grabbing her wrist.
"But I want you to come." She said innocently. Luckily, her hand had stopped her movements.
"I do too, but I want to come with you and in you." He said in a deep voice. She smiled and kissed him fiercely. She pulled his sweatpants down and his large erection sprang free. She licked her lips at seeing it and fingered the moisture leaking out of the head.
"Oh shit, baby…" He groaned, bucking into her hand. She then hooked a leg over his hip, aligning his swollen head with her burning entrance. She leaned up and kissed him deeply. Just as he was about to slide in, their bedroom door opened and Alex and Aaron charged in. Seeley drew back quickly and covered them with the sheets in a flash. He made sure to stay on his side and Tempe snickered. He glared gently at her.
"Double Trouble, what do you want?" He said with resignation that he probably wouldn't be getting any from his wife this morning and he would go through the whole day half-hard.
"We want breakfast." They said in perfect unison.
"Can't you ask Jess?"
"She's feeding Jay."
"Go get Parker up. It's his turn anyway."
"Okay!" They cheered, and ran out of the room, closing the door. Tempe sprung up and locked the door behind the twins and then crawled back into bed with her sexy husband.
"Now…where were we?" She whispered and pulled him in for a fierce kiss, hooking her leg up over his hip and drawing him into her core in one swift stroke.
"Oh Seeley…" She groaned, feeling him fill her up. He looked down at the joining of their bodies and then pulled out and slammed back in hard.
"Yes! Oh, yes!" Tempe groaned as he rolled her onto his back and gripped her ass as she wrapped her legs around his waist, drawing him in deeper.
"Fuck me, Seeley." She groaned. He began thrusting roughly in and out, the bed creaking beneath their vigorous movement. His hands gripped her hips as she rocked against him while he thrust in and out of her tight body.
One of his hands drafted down to the joining of their bodies and began rubbing vigorously on her swollen nub. She bit down on his shoulder to keep from crying out loudly. But as she squeezed his balls in her warm hand, he couldn't hold back his loud groan of approval.
"Sh…Seeley." She whispered.
"I'm sorry. I can't help it that I want to fuck you loud and hard." He whispered back and she let out a long but low moan. Then, there was a knock on the door and they froze.
"Mom? Dad?" Park asked through the door.
"Yeah?" Tempe called out.
"We need to go grocery shopping so I'm going to take the sibs out for breakfast before school. That alright?"
"Yeah, that's fine." Seeley said. "There's cash in my wallet."
"Thanks. See you later." He said and walked away. They waited with bated breath until they heard all of the kids leave, the car start, and then drive away. They waited an extra few minutes in case they came back because someone forgot something, but nobody came back.
"Our wish got granted." He said and then he began thrusting quickly in and out again.
"Oh baby…so wet, so tight, so hot." He grunted with each thrust. The bed is slamming firmly into the wall now, making a really loud and rhythmic thudding noise.
"Seel…oh, fuck…" Tempe cried as he rubbed her nub fiercely and the tip of his hard cock brushed against her cervix, deep within her.
Tempe began clamping hard around his shaft and he could feel his balls tightening with impending release as she squeezed them with her hand and her walls squeezed his swollen shaft.
"So…damn…close." He grunted.
"Ughhhhh….me…too." Tempe groaned back. Seeley thrust deeply two more times before he let out a roar as he came, spilling his seed into her and she milked him, crying out her own orgasm.
Twenty minutes later, they rolled out of bed and hopped into the shower. Another hour and episode of shower sex later, they are both ready. Tempe is taking the day off to run errands but Seeley is going to work and all the kids are at school. Jessica and Jay went to go visit her sister with Parker, so Tempe has the day to herself.
As Seeley is getting ready to go…
"Bye baby. I love you." He said, sliding his hands around her waist and resting his forehead against her forehead.
"I love you too. Don't get hurt." She whispered, looking at her feet.
"Hey." He whispered, tipping her chin up so she would look at him. He saw the trace of fear in her eyes.
"Aw, baby." He whispered and pressed a kiss to her forehead, lingering.
"Well, I worry."
"I know. I worry about you too, when you aren't with me."
"See you later." She says and kisses his lips, lingering slightly. Seeley grabs his briefcase and goes off to work and Tempe goes about her day, running errands and the like.
A week later…
"Mommyyyyy!" Two voices wailed from the bedroom. Tempe sprinted in and to the bedside of her babies.
"What's wrong my babies?" She asked, sitting on the bed with them.
"It hurts." Alex whispered and Aaron nodded.
"What does sweetheart?"
"My tummy and my bones." She cried, tears leaking out of her eyes. Tempe scooped her into her arms and held her, rocking gently. Aaron began to whimper and Tempe took him into her arms too.
"Oh babies. I'm sorry." Tempe whispered, kissing each head as each child cried in her arms. Tempe knew she should get them to the hospital to find out what is wrong, so she woke Chrissy and Parker and the whole group, except for Seeley, who is away on a business trip, went to the hospital. Once there, the twins were admitted and tests were ran.
Three agonizing hours later…
"Mom, don't you think you should call Dad?" Park asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"No. Not yet. Not until we know if something is wrong." She replied, her head still in her hands. Parker just nodded and went to sit in the waiting room with everyone else.
The doctor came in not long after and Tempe stood up and faced her.
"Are my babies okay? Is there anything wrong with them?" She asked in a rush, wringing her hands.
"Dr. Booth, please, come out into the hall with me." Dr. Talbot said gently. Tempe followed her out to the hall.
"We ran some routine and some specialty tests and discovered that both Alex and Aaron have Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. I'm so sorry."
"Oh, god." Tempe whispered, her hand covering her mouth as she slid to the floor, sobs wracking her body. Luckily, Jess was coming down the hall and saw her. She ran to her side.
"Mom!" Jess called, kneeling down next to her. Tempe just didn't respond, her body still shaking with violent sobs and tears streaming down her face. Her eyes are a void.
"Get Parker." Jess said, looking up at Dr. Talbot. The doctor nodded and did as instructed. Parker came charging down the hall and saw his Mom a mess on the floor. He kneeled in front of her.
"Mom, Mom." Parker asked, his hands on her knees, trying to get her to speak to him. She just wouldn't answer; she just kept sobbing. Parker lifted her into his arms and asked the doctor for a room. Dr. Talbot nodded and got her a bed. Parker put her down in it, hoping it would calm her but she didn't stop crying.
"Mom…it will be okay. I promise." Parker whispered. Tempe whirled towards him, her eyes widening, and she then threw up over the side of the bed and wouldn't stop. Parker climbed onto the bed and held onto her as she wretched.
"Honey, call Dad." Parker ordered from his place on the bed.
"Park…" She began.
"NOW." He barked and she nodded. She went out into the hall to call Seeley.
"Hey Jess. What's up?" Seeley asked when he answered.
"You have to come home. Now." She said firmly.
"What's wrong?" He asked, his gut instantly tensing.
"Mom needs you."
"Is she okay?"
"She's…no. She's not fine. There is something wrong with the twins. We don't know what yet, but the doctor told her and she has been a sobbing wreck since and started violently throwing up when Park said that everything would be alright. She needs you, Dad."
"I will be there in three hours." He said and hung up, very worried about his wife and children.
Jess headed back into the room to see Tempe hooked up to an IV and knocked out. A nurse is cleaning up what Tempe threw up. Park is still holding her in his arms as she sleeps and is running a cool washcloth over her sweaty and blotchy face. Tempe whimpers.
"Sh…sh." Park whispers.
"How is she?"
"They had to sedate her and are giving her fluids."
"Okay. Dad will be here in three hours."
"Good. Maybe then we'll be able to find out what is wrong." Park whispered and Jess nodded.
Three hours later…Jess had just returned from taking the kids to Max when she heard yelling.
"My wife! I need to see my goddamn wife!" A male voice roared. She walked around the corner to see Seeley yelling at a nurse and looking like he is about to cry.
"Dad." She says and he turns and comes forward, embracing her.
"I need her." He whispered, a few tears leaking out.
"I'll take you to her." Jess whispered back to the wreck of a man.
Once outside the room…
"Mom is sedated but she's fine. Park is with her." Jess said, squeezing his arm. Seeley nodded and went in. His heart cracked at seeing his wife so pale against the sheets.
"Oh my love." He whispered. Parker looked up and then left his parents alone. But not before whispering…
"She'll wake up soon." Park said and Seeley nodded. Once the door closed Seeley sat on the bed next to her, brushing her auburn hair out of her face. He leaned down and pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead.
"Love, I'm here. I'm not leaving." He whispered and kissed her forehead again.
Twenty minutes later, while Seeley is rubbing his thumb over the top of her hand in a soothing gesture, she begins to stir. Eventually, her eyes flutter open.
"Seeley." She whispers and tears well up in her eyes. He climbs onto the bed with her and wraps her smaller frame within his larger one.
"Shh. Shh. I'm right here, love." He whispers into her hair and plants a kiss on the top of her head.
"What happened?" He whispered, tipping her chin to look at him.
She swallowed to try and get past the lump in her throat before speaking.
"The twins have Acute Myelogenous Leukemia." She whispered.
"Oh baby." He whispered and buried his head in her hair as she buried her face in the crook of his neck and they both cried softly for a few minutes.
"Seeley, why?"
"I don't know my love."
"We've been through so much. Why this? Why now? Why my babies?"
"I don't know, but they are strong and we will get through this."
"How?"
"We'll fight. All of us." He whispered and lowered his lips to hers in a gentle kiss full of promise. She kissed back and nodded, resting her head against his chest.
Nearly a year later…the twins are now 8 years old and are still fighting but aren't getting any better. Dr. Talbot is sitting down with the two parents.
"The twins just aren't getting better." Dr. Talbot said, honestly.
"We know. Is there anything we can do?"
"There is one thing we could try, and it has a fairly high success rate."
"What?" Seeley asked, taking the hand of his wife.
"You can get pregnant again, with the right match for the twins, and the cord blood can be used to cure them." Talbot said. Seeley looked down at his wife.
"Would you do that?" He asked her.
"Would it save them?" Tempe asked Dr. Talbot.
"Yes, it would."
"Let's do it." She said.
"Love, are you sure? You didn't want to get pregnant again."
"I know. But this is for my babies. I want to give it a try."
"Okay. Let's do it." He said, kissing his wife gently and nodding at Talbot.
Eight agonizing months later, Tempe is finally pregnant with a baby that's a match for the twins. She's about 3 months along.
Tempe stirs and wakes up to find the spot where Seeley sleeps curled against her back cold and empty. She sits up and rubs her eyes.
"Seeley?" She calls, somewhat frightened. She's had trouble sleeping alone since she got pregnant. She's been having horrible nightmares.
"Seeley?" She called out, louder this time. She didn't hear a sound in the house and she began to panic.
"Oh god…what if something happened to the twins? What if he died trying to get to them?" She began chanting, her breathing escalating rapidly and she began to hyperventilate. She clutched her slightly swollen belly tightly as air struggled to enter her lungs.
Less than a minute later, Seeley pushed open the bedroom door to see his beautiful wife in the midst of a panic attack. He instantly climbed onto the bed and wrapped his hands over hers on her swollen belly, making sure to place her head in the crook of his neck.
"Whoa love. I'm here. Calm down honey." He whispered into her hair as he planted light kisses on the top of her head. He rubbed soothing circles over her belly and murmured soothing words into her ear. Soon enough, she calmed down.
"Where were you?" She whispered, fear in her voice.
"The phone rang. It was just Caroline requesting to meet with me about the last case."
"Oh. I'm sorry." She whispered, starting to pull away from him, but he tightened his grip.
"It's okay. I know you're scared. Did you have another nightmare?" He asked softly. She nodded.
"What was it about?"
"I lost the baby, because of my age, and the twins died." She whispered as hot tears spilled out of her eyes and down her cheeks.
"I'm so sorry. That won't happen."
"You don't know. I'm 41 years old. I shouldn't be having a baby; I'm surprised I even could. By the time this child growing within me goes to college, I will be 60 years old. That is not how old a mother should be to see her baby go off to college."
"Love, who gives a shit? You are doing this for your babies because you love them."
"What if I don't love this child, simply because of why they were made?"
"You will love this child. It's our blood and he or she was made out of love. Love for his or her siblings and our love and our lovemaking. Every ounce of this child, like our other ones, is created out of love. Okay?"
"Okay." She whispered and leaned up to kiss him. He instantly deepened the kiss.
"Seeley…" She murmured against his lips.
"I know." He whispered, stopping his assault on her lips and placing his hands on her belly. "Not until you're in the clear."
"Exactly. Only two more months."
"I can't wait." He whispered, rubbing her belly.
"Me neither. I miss making love with you."
"I miss it too." He whispered and then they just held each other before they got up to go about their day.
