Chapter 35: Are They Okay?

I wake up to the bright lights of a hospital room. I feel a tube in my nose and reach up to feel it. Determining I'm being fed oxygen through the tube, I look around the room. It's a decent sized room. My eyes fall to a couch in the room where I see Tig sprawled out on the couch. I smile to myself then continue my scan of the room. I notice a chair in the opposite corner from the couch and spot Gemma sitting on it with her eyes closed. She moves her hand to cover her eyes and I lightly call out, "Gemma." She quickly stands up and rushes over to me giving me a slight hug. I remember the day I had and my hands fly to my stomach. I've still got the swell of being pregnant. I feel my heart began racing and I look towards Gemma who has tears in her eyes as I ask, "Are the babies okay?"

Gemma blinks the tears away before quietly saying, "Both of them are okay. Let me wake Tiggy up for you." I watch as she moves to the couch and nudges Tig's leg. He jerks up and his eyes immediately lock on mine. He rushes across the room and the scent of leather that I've come to recognize as home fills my nose. I feel a couple tears leak out of my eyes as he leans down and kisses me on the forehead. Gemma breaks our moment asking, "Reba, do you need some water? I need to let the nurses know you're awake as well." I nod my head at her and she walks out of the room.

Tig wipes a tear off my face saying, "It's okay. They are fine. So are you. Everything's going to be okay."

I shake my head at him softly saying, "I saw the blood. I felt the blood. What happened with them? Are they really okay?"

Tig lays his hand on my stomach saying, "Yeah. The doctors did say they had to stop early labor. They did say that you're probably going to be on bed rest until at least 32 weeks. That's the earliest it's safe to deliver twins. The longer the better though."

I nod my head at him saying, "This is going to put a damper on our plans for Ireland. Isn't it?" Tig nods at me as I say, "As long as they're safe. That's all that matters."

Gemma walks back in with my water and brings it to me. As I drink she says, "I know you're probably still worried about the twins, but Reba, you need to tell us exactly what happened at the water park so we can act accordingly."

I nod my head slightly saying, "It was Major. He was there. He knows I'm pregnant. He felt my bump. He knows they're yours, Tig. He said, 'My bet is it's the one with the twins. I've seen the two of you together.'" I felt myself beginning to panic as I continue, "I need to get out of here. I need to transfer to a different hospital. One he won't think to look at. He was trying to make me miscarry."

Gemma raises her voice slightly saying, "Reba. I know you are panicking but you need to calm down. You're heart rate is elevating, and you've got to think about the twins. Don't let him succeed. Now take deep breaths and calm down."

I do as Gemma says and take deep breaths trying to calm myself down and lower my heart rate. As my heart rate finally slows down I look to Gemma and Tig and with fear in my voice say, "We need to leave. I don't know how, but I need to get to Ireland some way. We need to get to Ireland; Gemma can you please ask my Doctor if there's any possible way I can fly?"

Gemma nods her head at me saying, "I'll ask when we get your Doctor in here. We also probably need to call Happy and Chibs, or at least Chibs. He needs to know what's going on."

I nod my head at her before looking towards Tig saying, "Where's the girls at?"

Tig gives me a small smile saying, "They're in the waiting room with Jax, Wendy and Able. We told them you had a fall and hurt your head real bad. We didn't want them to see you bleeding like you were." I nod my head at him as he continues, "I need to get them back to Chelsey though. I also need to tell Clay that the hospital is going to monitor you for the night because they're worried you've got a concussion. It'll also give me an excuse to get Chibs and Bobby out here. Then maybe Happy can sneak away as well. He's usually pretty good at it."

I nod my head saying, "Are Jax and Wendy going to stay here though? They are part of this plan as well."

Tig nods his head saying, "Yeah, I'll ask them if they'll stay here. I'm also gonna ask Happy if he'll bring his truck so it's easier for all of us to leave."

I nod my head again before saying, "Can I see the girls? I just want to tell them I've got to stay because I hit my head."

Gemma looks at Tig before Tig leans down kissing my head and says, "Yeah, love. I'll go get them." He turns to Gemma saying, "Can you help her sit up so they don't see her stomach?"

Gemma nods her head as Tig walks out to go and get the girls. Gemma helps me sit up and a couple minutes later Tig walks in with each girl holding one of his hands. They look at me and I give them a small smile. Fawn drops her dad's hand and rushes over to the bed, only stopped by trying to climb it. Gemma gives Fawn a small smile and helps lift her onto the bed. Fawn sits beside me and gives me a one armed hug before asking, "Are you okay Reba? What happened?"

Tig sits Dawn on my other side and she gives me her own little hug before echoing, "What happened to you Reba? We were scared."

I smile at both of them before saying, "I slipped on some water and fell backwards. I hit my head on the ground. The doctors just want to keep me here for the night to make sure I'm okay."

Fawn gives me a confused look saying, "But are you okay?" I nod my head at her and she says, "Good. I'm glad you're okay. I want you and Daddy to get married."

We all let out a little laugh before Tig says, "Alright girls, you've got to tell Reba bye for the night. The doctors want her to get lots of rest so she can come home quickly. I'm going to bring you back to TM and your mom."

Dawn crosses her little arms saying, "I don't want to go see Mom. I want to stay here with Reba until she's all better and can come home with us."

Fawn crosses her own arms and says, "Yeah. We want to stay with you and Reba, Daddy."

I look down at them before saying, "Girls. I'm okay. I'll feel better knowing you two will at least have a room to sleep in tonight. I'll call you two tomorrow from your Daddy's phone. How does that sound?"

They both let out sighs as Dawn speaks for the two of them saying, "I guess that's okay. But we still do want to live with you and Daddy."

I nod my head at them before saying, "We'll see what happens when I'm all better. Now can I hug the two of you before you go?" They both give me a hug before Tig leaned down and kissed my forehead. Tig helped them both off the bed and they waved at me as they walked out the hospital door. I gave them a smile back and as soon as they were out of the room I had Gemma help me lay back down. I was hurting again.

Gemma shook her head at me saying, "I hope they do let us go to Ireland, because you are not going to be good at bed rest if we have to stay here. At least in Ireland you'll have more distractions."

I nod my head at her saying, "I can't help it. I hate being still. It's just how I am."

Gemma nods her head at me saying, "Trust me I understand darling. That's how I am, but you've got to do what you've got to do."

Before Gemma could say anything else, Jax walked into the room followed by Wendy and Abel in his carrier. I smiled at them before saying, "He's getting a little big for that isn't he?"

Wendy grinned back at me saying, "Considering he's just over 11 months, I'm not surprised. Before long he'll be a year old."

Jax smiled down towards Abel before he looked back at me asking, "What happened out there?" I told him the exact same thing I'd told Tig and Gemma. Jax let out a sigh of frustration before saying, "Someone we know has to be working with him. He said he's seen you and Tig together?" I nod my head at him as he continues, "We just need to figure it out and we need to protect you three."

Gemma walks over to Jax and places her hand on his shoulder saying, "Jax, if we can get her doctor to sign off on traveling, do you think they'll be safe in Ireland with SAMBEL? I only ask because we don't know who's talking to Major."

Jax chews on his thumb for a minute before saying, "She should be, especially if I go with her like we talked about at the water park. SAMBEL is better at keeping their mouths than SAMCRO is."

Wendy looked between us saying, "She's going to have a whole entourage going with her though. Between you, me, Abel, Gemma, Tig, Chibs, Happy and probably Bobby; is Clay even going to let us all go?"

Gemma speaks up saying, "Nero would be going too. Clay doesn't care about him, but I'm sure Kozik would wiggle in too. He knows about her stepdad being there."

Wendy shakes her head saying, "Who would that leave here?"

Jax thinks for a moment before saying, "Piney, Opie, Clay, Juice, Miles, Rat, Half-Sack and the three prospects."

I speak up from the bed saying, "Maybe Kozik could stay here too. Do we all trust him without a question?" Everyone nodded their heads at me and I continued, "Miles knows I'm pregnant too. He was at the first ultrasound with us. So that would leave two people we absolutely trust here to be our watch."

Jax shook his head saying, "Three. I trust Opie and Piney without question as well. Opie's my best friend and Piney has already said he doesn't like how Clay is running things. He'd rather me be President of SAMCRO. We could probably bring Kozik with us, to make it seem more like I want to check out how SAMBEL is running. Keith is President over there and he was really good friends with my dad. Maybe we can even get him to reach out to Clay asking for some help over there with something. Clay's so busy here with the Mayans that by default I'd be the one to go check it out."

I nod my head at this saying, "Isn't he First 9 as well?" Jax looks a little shocked before I say, "I hear things around the clubhouse. I've also seen the board."

Jax gives me a small smile saying, "Yeah he was First 9 with Piney and my dad. Clay was also First 9 though."

Gemma looks at Jax before saying, "That's true, but he was the last of the First 9 and only got it because he was sponsored by Piney. Otherwise I don't even think he'd be a part of SAMCRO." She took a deep breath before also saying, "That also means that you can't kill him Jax. It's got to be a vote, more so than with any of the other members."

Jax takes in a breath before saying, "I promise, mom."

We all just hung out in my room for a while before Wendy said, "Are you guys hungry? We can run to McDonald's and get some food to bring back here before Tig, Happy and Chibs get here so we can all eat some real food."

I nod my head and Wendy pulls out her phone and starts taking orders down. Wendy and Jax leave the room to go and get our food and I smile over towards Gemma who's holding Abel before asking, "Can I hold him for a few minutes?"

Gemma smiles back at me and walks over to my hospital bed. She places Abel in my arms and as I hold him, she says, "This is gonna be your life before soon, but you'll have two in your arms at a time. I noticed that even when Jax was young. After I had Thomas, whenever I was holding him, Jax always wanted to be held as well." She gave me a small sad smile before saying, "I think you'll be amazing though. You seem like the type who was always meant to be a mother."

I smiled back up at Gemma before saying, "Honestly, I never thought I'd be a mum. I never thought I could love someone more than myself, but I do. I love these two so much. And I love Tig more than I thought would ever be possible. I'm happy my mum and Ravi wanted to send me down here though. It means I got to meet Chibs and Tig and everyone else. I finally have friends and that's pretty awesome."

I just kept holding Abel and before I knew it, they hospital door was opening again and in walked Tig, Chibs, Happy and Uncle Bobby. A couple seconds later the door opened again and Kozik came strolling through. I looked to Tig and saw him smiling at me holding Abel. He noted my look of confusion and said, "Sorry love, they heard you were hurt and all wanted to come see if you were okay with their own eyes." He paused for a minute asking, "Where's Jax and Wendy?"

I smiled back at him saying, "They went to grab us all food from McDonalds. They just decided to leave Abel here." I looked at Kozik again before saying, "Kozik's in for a story tonight. Isn't he?"

Chibs shut me up by finally moving to hug me. He kissed my forehead quickly as Uncle Bobby asked, "What happened, little McEntire?"

Uncle Bobby hugged me as Chibs said, "Aye lass. We were worried when Tig came back to TM saying ye were in a hospital in Sacramento. I should have gone with…"

I quickly cut Chibs off saying, "Chibs, this is one of those things you wouldn't have been able to prevent. I feel pretty positive of that. Sit down and I'll tell you guys what happened?" They all grabbed chairs from around the room Chibs, Kozik and Uncle Bobby sat down on the couch while Tig pulled up the stool the doctor uses and sat next to my bed. After they were all seated, I looked to Kozik saying, "First off, let me start from the beginning. Kozik, do you remember when you took Ravi to the airport and helped get him to Ireland?" He nodded his head at me and I said, "Good. Now after Tig, Uncle Bobby, Opie and Clay got back, Tig and I spent the night together. 6 weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. When I was 7 weeks pregnant, Wendy, Abel and I went to Lodi for a girl's day. In reality, we went to a doctor's appointment. We found out I was having twins. Fast forward to 19 weeks pregnant, and we find out it's a boy and a girl. Chibs and Happy are god fathers. Fast forward to today. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and we had an ultrasound this morning. The twins weigh about a pound each with Alec having 3 ounces on Skye. We go to TM and pick up Dawn and Fawn to go to the water park. We get there and Jax finds out I'm pregnant while we confirm for Gemma. She had a suspicion when we went to Lodi the first time. Wendy already knew because she took the test with me. That's why she went with me over Tig or Chibs. Anyway, everything is going pretty good. We're happy and we're planning what to do in case my biological dad isn't dealt with. He was very abusive when I was younger and he's the reason my mum is gone." I take a deep breath steadying myself as Kozik quietly waits. Taking one more deep breath I say, "I'm getting concessions at the water park and I feel someone grab my wrist. I turn around and it's Major. He feels my bump, so he knows I'm pregnant. He has an inkling I'm with Tig because he's seen us together somehow. Tig calls out my name and Major pushes me down. I try to protect my belly, but I hit the ground too fast. I feel wetness between my legs and I reach down and feel. I pull my hand back up and I see blood on my hand. He was trying to make me have a miscarriage."

Chibs jumps up then looks angrily at Tig saying, "Ye said she slipped and hit her head."

Tig puts his hands up in defense saying, "I couldn't tell you what happened. This had to come from her."

Chibs glares at Tig again before walking over to me and grabbing my hand. He looks down at my stomach asking, "Are they okay, lass?"

I nod my head at Chibs saying, "Alec and Skye are fine. I went into labor and they stopped it. I'm supposed to be on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. They want me to try to last until at least 32 weeks. That's the earliest it's safe to deliver twins."

He gives me a tight hug saying, "I'm glad ye are okay. I'm glad they are okay. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to the three of ye." He walked over to Tig and said, "I'm sorry I got upset. I'm just worried about my little sister."

Tig shook his head at Chibs before saying, "I'm not mad Chibs. I get it. I'd be worried too, but they're all okay, and that's what matters."

Wendy and Jax walked back into the room as Kozik asked, "Is that why you haven't really been hanging around us at Teller Morrow? You've been pregnant?"

Wendy let out a laugh as Jax said, "Welcome to the secret club Kozik."

Kozik shook his head before saying, "How'd you hide your bump when you were there though. That seems like it would be hard."

I nod my head at him saying, "It was, but a combination of baggy shirts that didn't belong to me and sundresses that hid my shape went a long way. Avoiding everyone was pretty helpful too."

As Wendy handed out the food to us, Uncle Bobby asked, "So what's the plan now Little McEntire?"

Gemma speaks up saying, "We're going to ask her doctor if she can fly just once. We'll tell them she's got a good health care provider lined up over there."

Jax eats a couple of his fries before saying, "Yeah. We are also going to see if SAMBEL will host a group of us. We figured Wendy, Abel, Reba, Tig, Happy, Chibs and mom would for sure go." He looked towards Uncle Bobby and Kozik before saying, "We thought you two might go with us as well."

Uncle Bobby shakes his head saying, "If I go too, Clay will know something serious is happening with Reba. I mean, Tig, Chibs, Happy and Wendy would be there. He's going to think it is odd enough with everyone going. How are we going to play that off?"

Kozik chimed in saying, "I want to go to Ireland with you guys. He doesn't think I'm close to Reba. I'm really not, but I respect her. I'll say I'm going for Gemma if need be."

From her corner, Gemma says, "Nero will be going as well. He doesn't know it yet, but he will be."

Uncle Bobby stops them all asking again, "How are we pulling this off?"

Jax smiles before saying, "I'm going to reach out to Keith. He's First 9 and was really good friends with my dad. He's also President of SAMBEL. I'm going to ask him if he'll call Clay and ask for some help with something over there. Clay's too busy with all the runs here. He won't be able to go. By default it'll be me. I'll tell him I want to turn it into a vacation with Wendy and Abel. I'll tell him mom wants to go with us as well and if I could please take Kozik and Happy with me to protect my son in case anything goes down."

I speak up from the bed saying, "And Chibs, we could call your mum and see if she's up for some company. If she says yes, we'll tell Clay your mum is asking to meet me. That was our original plan anyway. And Tig could go with us for protection as well. He doesn't know your mum is under SAMBEL's protection does he?"

Chibs shakes his head saying, "No he just knows she's in Ireland. He's never asked what part of Ireland it is."

Uncle Bobby nods his head and says, "This will work. Clay will think you're going to two separate parts of Ireland. The only thing is you guys would need to leave a few days apart so it's even less suspicious."

We all nod our heads at Uncle Bobby before Chibs asks, "Which group should leave first though?"

I speak up before anyone else can saying, "Jax's group should leave first. Then we should leave a week later. That way, Jax can get there and inform SAMBEL of what's going on. They can take some of the stuff we've got ready for the twins too. That way it's already there and Ravi and your mum can help get stuff set up. We can send some money with them to buy a couple bassinets because I don't think it'll be safe to bring the twins back to America as long as Major's around."

Gemma says, "Nero will stay here until you three are ready to head to Ireland. That way, you've got someone else on the road with you guys. And he can watch out for you while you're on bed rest."

Uncle Bobby nods again saying, "That's a great idea. Now, when do we want to put this plan into motion?"

Gemma thinks for a minute before saying, "What about when Reba hits 30 weeks?" Everyone nods their heads in agreement as Gemma continues, "Now, all this is fine and dandy, but we've still got to ask her doctor if she can even do this."

Right on cue my hospital door opened and in walked a woman. She looked around the room and said, "Wow, you've got quite a group. My name is Doctor Kelly. I am here to check on the babies one more time before we discharge you. Is it okay if everyone in here sees the ultrasound?" I nod my head and she says, "Alright, go ahead and lift your gown up for the gel. Which one of you is the Daddy?" Tig raises his hand as the doctor puts the goop on my stomach. I hiss slightly at how cold it is and Tig gives me a small smile as the doctor says, "You never get used to that do you?"

I shake my head saying, "No you don't. I thought I was getting used to it, but I guess not. And I've got to start going into the doctor back home once a week before long." The doctor moves the wand around my stomach and I feel the slightest flutter in my stomach and I begin tearing up at almost losing them.

Doctor Kelly gives me a tissue and says, "They are okay Ms. Telford. I know it's scary, but I promise, they are okay." I nod my head at her and she says, "Alright, here's the baby boy. Everything's growing like it should be and he's for sure a boy." She moved the wand around some more before saying, "And here is the little girl. She's tinier than her brother, but everything is still growing at the right rate. It actually looks like you're measuring about 24 weeks."

Tig looks at her in confusion for a second before saying, "Earlier they said she was measuring at 23 weeks."

Doctor Kelly prints out a few more pictures for us before saying, "That's normal. Different doctors measure differently. I measure for twins. Twins are usually on the small side. The babies look to be 1 pound 9 ounces and 1 pound 6 ounces. Usually at 23 weeks twins are less than 1 pound or just at a pound. Your other doctor probably measured what they would if it was a single pregnancy. 1 pound 9 ounces is about what a single baby would weigh at 23 weeks."

Following her train of thought I ask, "Is it okay that they are bigger than they should be?"

Doctor Kelly nods her head saying, "Yeah. Every pregnancy is different. Like if you were to get pregnant again with twins after these were born, they could weigh about 10 ounces each or they could be bigger. It all just depends on the mom and her diet. It's probably also because you're so small. But from your chart, I get the idea that you're usually pretty active." I nod my head and she continues with, "So you probably take in more calories than the average person. That would give more nutrients to the babies; which means they are just growing a little bit faster." I nod my head at her as she asks, "Does anyone have any questions for me?"

Gemma nods her head quickly and asks, "I know she's supposed to be on bedrest at least until week 32, but is there any possible way she can fly just once? She's got a really good health care provider lined up in Ireland that she wants to go to. Plus it's cheaper to deliver there than it is here."

Doctor Kelly chews on her lip for a second before looking down at me and asking, "When are you trying to fly out there?"

I smile up at her saying, "The plan was when I hit 30 weeks, so I can get prepared for their arrival in Ireland. Is that okay?"

My doctor gives me a small smile before saying, "Let me go and talk with another doctor I'm working with real quick, and I'll ask him if that's okay. I don't see a problem with it, but I want to make sure for you." I nod my head at her and thank her. She walks out and a few minutes later she comes back into my room saying, "Alright, Ms. Telford, I talked to my coworker and he said as long as you stay on bedrest for the most part, it should be fine. Have someone with you on the plane though, just in case you go into labor." I nod my head at her and she says, "I do think it'll be okay for you to be on light duty. I know you're an active person, and I don't want to stop you from being active all together, but you do need to take it easy. Does that sound like a plan to you?" I nod my head and my doctor says, "Alright, I'm going to go and get your discharge papers ready, and you can head home for the night. Remember light activities and lots of rest."

I nod my head at her and she leaves to get my discharge papers. As she leaves the room Gemma says, "Alright so Jax, Wendy, Abel, Kozik and I will leave when Reba hits 29 weeks. Reba, Tig, Chibs, Happy and Nero will leave when Reba hits 30 weeks. Are you going to be able to hide your stomach that long from Clay?"

I nod my head saying, "Yeah, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing; baggy shirts and avoiding him. It shouldn't be too hard now that I'm on bedrest. We'll just tell him I'm staying out of the way. I'm sure he'd prefer that anyway."

My doctor walked back into the room and handed me my discharge paperwork. She let all head out and when we got into the parking garage I said, "How about we book an Airbnb for the night since the hospital is supposed to be keeping me to monitor my concussion."

Gemma nods her head and says, "How about we do that, but we call Clay and tell him we're just going to get a hotel for the night so we don't have to make our way back to Charming tonight because they said they'll probably discharge you around 9am. It's already 8pm."

Jax nods his head saying, "I'll call him when we get to the Airbnb. Are you booking it Reba?"

I nod my head at him before saying, "Yeah. I think I'm going to go ahead and book this one. It's 621 a night, but it's got 5 queen beds, 5 floor mattresses and a couch. It's also got 2 bathrooms. We get the whole place to ourselves as well."

Tig smiles at me and goes to hand me his credit card saying, "Here baby. Put it on mine."

I shake my head saying, "That's okay. I've got it." I book the Airbnb and give Jax directions. When we pull up we all go inside and start looking around the place. It's beautiful from what I can tell. It's very spacious and the kitchen is huge.

Jax looks at me and says, "How does everyone want to pair up?"

I smile at Jax before saying, "Trust me I've already figured it out." Everyone looks at me expectantly and I say, "Jax, you, Wendy and Able should take bedroom 1. Gemma should take bedroom 2. Uncle Bobby and Kozik can take bedroom 3. Chibs and Happy can be in 4 and Tig and I will take bedroom 5. Each room, but mine and Tig's has a queen bed and a floor mattress." That way, the couples have privacy, but everyone is safe and no one is really sleeping on the floor. Plus we all could fit in here. I prefer that to us having to have gotten 2 Airbnbs and being separated."

Everyone nodded their heads and retired for the night. When Tig and I were alone he looked at me tenderly before asking, "Baby, are you sure you're okay? You had a long day."

I kiss him softly saying, "Yes, love. I'm okay. Alec and Skye are okay. You're okay, and we've finally got a proper plan. We've got people in our corner now in this fight. I do need to call Ravi in a couple weeks and give him an update and tell him what's happening. I think we should all get burners before we drop off to Ireland."

I yawned as Tig said, "That sounds like a good idea baby. Now get some rest." I nodded my head against his chest and fell asleep to him running his fingers through my hair.
