Something New

Chapter 25

AN: Thank you for all the reviews. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Peyton realizes it's her daddy picking her up and she holds on to him tight as she cries. Jamie rubs her back as he takes her out to the paramedics. Peyton cries harder when he rubs her back. Stef looks at her back and finds that it's covered in bruises. She looks at Jamie and they both sigh. Peyton doesn't make it easy for the paramedics to check her out, but they finally get an IV started.

"Hey Stef can you go to the house and get Pey some clean clothes and the elephant?"

"Of course I will be back as soon as I can."

"Thank you."

Jamie holds Peyton as the ambulance drives to the hospital. On the way there Jamie calls Callie. But of course she doesn't answer so he texts her and lets her know that he has Peyton and he will bring her up as soon as they discharge her.

"Daddy where mommy?"

"Mommy didn't feel good so she is at the hospital."

"We see her and bodders." Jamie nods.

"We are going up stairs in a lil

Jamie doesn't know what to feel right now. He is so happy that he has his baby girl back in his arms. But Callie was clear about what she wanted so he is going to respect her decision. He knows he messed up big time but if Callie thinks he isn't going to be there for the kids she has another thing coming. He is pulled out of his thoughts by the doctor's asking him questions about Peyton's medical history.

Stef gets to the hospital with clean close and some food for Peyton. The doctor comes back with good news. No broken bones just bruising and she is dehydrated. But she is going to be just fine physically anyway. She still hasn't let anybody but Jamie anywhere near her. They discharge her and Jamie cleans her up before going up to see Callie. Stef tries to take Peyton from Jamie so he doesn't have to stay but Peyton is not having and screams for her daddy.

"It's okay I will take her. Callie is just going to have to deal with it…" Stef is shocked that Jamie said that. She nods and walks behind him.

Jamie doesn't bother knocking he walks into the room holding Peyton. Callie looks up and smiles seeing her baby girl. She reaches for Peyton and Jamie sits her on the bed by Callie. Peyton latches on to her. Callie looks up at Jamie with tears in her eyes when she sees the bruises.

"Hi sweet pea. Mommy missed you so much. I love you baby girl."

"Wuve you too mommy and daddy."

"She is going to be a little sore for a few days but she is okay. It's over Cal. I can promise you Amber is never going to bother us again…" Callie looks at him.

"Thank you. But how can you say that? They got out once..."

"Because she is dead. Andrew shot her so I can promise you he won't be getting out anytime soon." Callie holds on to Pey. Jamie can tell Callie is trying to hide something from him.

Callie takes a deep breath and tries to hide the pain that she is in. "I still can't trust you Jamie. You still should have told me. Thank you for bringing her home but you can go now…" Jamie sighs.

"We aren't going to do this now Cal. Clearly you are in labor and I'm not missing my sons birth. Plus the fact Peyton won't let me leave her sight." Peyton reaches for her daddy, and he picks her up.

"So how will this work if she won't leave you? I don't want to scare her when it gets closer…" Jamie looks at the time he texts Callie a message that says I will give her to nama once she is a sleep. Callie sighs and nods as another contraction hits.

"Mommy otay?" Peyton asks as she see the look on Callie's face.

Jamie takes her over to the other side of the room. "Mommy is going to be just fine sweet pea. But guess what?"

"What daddy?"

"You are going to be a big sister soon. Your little brothers are wanting out of her tummy." Peyton eyes grow wide and she smiles. Callie smiles as she watches Jamie with her. Yes she is hurt and still mad at him but she still does love him and probably always will.

"Can I hold dem?" Jamie smile and nods.

"Yes you can. But I need to ask you a big favor for mommy and daddy?" Peyton looks at him.

"I need you to be a big girl and stay with Nama and Grammy. I promise Nama won't let anything happen to you." The look on Peyton face breaks both of their hearts.

"No I stay wift you and mommy." She says as he little lip starts to tremble.

"You can stay for a while baby." Callie says and Peyton hides her head in her daddy's neck when Dr. Green comes in to check on Callie.

"Hi guys, I saw everything on the news. I'm so happy Peyton is okay. Let's check on your little ones."

"Thank you Dr. Green." Callie grabs Jamie's free hand when another contraction hits. Jamie is surprised when a hurts a lot more than it should.

Dr. Green checks Callie and smiles. Then checks the babies' heart monitors. She notices the look on Jamie's face then sees how bruised his hand his.

"Callie you are at 4 cm. dilated so you are definitely in active labor. You're blood pressure is a lot better so if the babies can handle the contractions you can have them naturally. But if they start to show any kind of distress we will do an emergency C-section. As we talked about before we will give you an epidural and you will be delivering in the OR just in case we have to get the second baby out quickly." Callie nods.

"I will set up the epidural and then I will send an a nurse with a ice pack for your hand Jamie. I'm pretty sure with amount of swelling and bruising it is broke. By the way that was nice right hook."

"You saw that?"

"Yes and I have to say running in like that was a pretty brave move but I completely understand why you took the chance."

"I honestly wasn't thinking about me." Dr. Green nods and pats him on the shoulder before leaving. Callie looks up at him.

"I will explain once she is a sleep." Callie nods.

Thank goodness it doesn't take Peyton long to fall a sleep. Once he knows she is completely out of it. He hands her off to Stef. Lena and Stef walk out of the room to give them some time to talk. The nurse comes in with a ice pack for him.

"When we got to the house where they were. They were trying to talk them out of the house. When I heard two gunshots and I could hear Peyton crying and I had to get to her, I ran to the house as Andrew was coming out with his hands in the air. I stopped long enough to hit him as hard as I could. When I got in the house Amber was dead. I found Peyton in a back room and carried her out to the paramedics." Callie looked up at him.

"Thank you."

"Callie I would have done anything to make sure she was okay, even if that meant losing my own life. I know you would have too. That's what parents do."

Callie's contractions start to get a lot more painful and last longer. Before they can give the epidural. Baby B's heart rate starts to drop and Dr. Green and the nurses rush in. Callie looks at Jamie and he can see the panic look on her face.

"Okay Callie we have to get them out now." Dr. Green explains as they rush her back to the OR. Jamie kisses her and tells her it will be okay.

They don't let him go in since it's an emergency. She assures him she will do everything she can. He nods and waits outside in the hall. A little bit later he hears his first son crying and the tears start to fall. A little while later he hears a faint cry. It definitely isn't as strong as the first one. Forty-five minutes later Dr. Green comes out.

"They are doing good. Baby A is 5 lbs. 9 oz. and is doing good. Baby B is 5 lbs. 1 oz. He wasn't breathing at first but we got him in time and is doing better. They are going to take them up to the NICU to check them out. Baby B might have to stay a little while just to make sure everything is okay. We are moving Callie into recovery."

"Thank you Dr. Green." Jamie hugs her. The nurses bring the babies out they are both in incubators. They stop long enough for Jamie to see them. He can't believe how small they are.

"Hi guys. I'm your daddy. Be strong for mommy and me. We can't wait to hold you." They smile at him.

"Do they have names?" Jamie nods not taking his eyes off of his sons.

"Baby A is Jayce Parker Hunter and baby B is Ryder James Hunter." The nurse smiles and writes them down.

Jamie snaps a couple of pictures before they take them to the NICU. Dr. Green takes him back to the recovery room. He sits and holds her hand. He texts Stef to let her know that they are here and what happened. An hour later Callie starts to wake up.

"Hi. Where are they are they okay?"

"They are okay. They took them up to the NICU just as a precaution; Ryder might have to stay a few days, he wasn't breathing when they got him out but they got him back..." Callie nods as Dr. Green comes in to check on her.

"Hi Callie how are you feeling?"

"Tired and sore… Thank you for saving Ryder." Dr. Green smiles at her.

"No need to thank me Callie that's my job. Everything went well, I don't for see any complications with the surgery if you ever want to have more kids down the line. I will order us some pain medicine. Once they are done with the tests on Jayce they will bring him down to you. He is small but healthy. Ryder had a rougher time, and he is a little bit smaller then his brother. So they will probably keep him a few days."

"When can I see him?"

"After I check you in the morning. But you will probably be very sore you are recovering from a major surgery Callie you will need to rest. I'm sure Jamie won't mind taking care of you. Let him pamper you… Oh I let the nursing staff know to let Peyton stay the night with you." They say there good byes and they take Callie back to her room.

Jamie goes to waiting room and lets their parents know what's going on and he tells them to go get some rest that they won't be able to see the babies until tomorrow. He takes Peyton back to Callie's room. She wakes up a little bit when Jamie lays her down next to Callie. Callie is surprised when he kisses her softly.

"I know this is probably the last time I get to say this…Happy Anniversary Callie and thank you for the last two years. Just know that I love you. I know this doesn't change anything but I give these to you and you can keep them or sell them or whatever you want." Jamie gives her rings back to her.

Callie knows she should say something but she is sure what she wants to say so she just nods and puts them back on for safekeeping. She really looks at him for the first time since everything has happened and it completely breaks her heart. She sees the dark circles under his eyes and she swears he has aged ten years over night. His poor hand looks like in it killing him.

"When was the last time you slept or eaten anything?" Jamie shrugs.

"A few days ago… I'm not really sure." Callie sighs.

"First you are going get you something to eat. Then you are going to get that hand x-rayed and taken care of, and then you are going to sleep. I can't have you getting sick on me. Peyton and the boys need their dad." Callie states in a don't mess with me tone.

"Okay. But if they bring Jayce in text me and I will come back." Callie nods and Jamie walks down the cafeteria. He buys a couple pieces of pizza. He hears some one call his name he turns around and sees one of his best friends growing up Jenna. He hasn't seen her in years. She has been doing her residency in Chicago.

"Hey Jenna. I didn't know you were back in town…" Jamie says as he hugs her.

"Hey Jamie. I just got back a few days ago. I saw the news is your little girl okay?"

"She is a little banged up but she is okay. In fact she is a new big sister as of a couple hours ago." Jenna smiles as Jamie shows her the pictures.

"They are so cute. They look just like their daddy. I can't wait to meet the famous Callie. Come on I'm going to fix up that hand of yours so you can get back to your wife and new sons." Jamie finishes eating and follows her down to the ER. They talk a while she x-rays his hand and puts a cast on it.

"Since you are a new dad and need your hands. I put on the new waterproof cast. I will also drop off a prescription for some pain medicine." Jamie smiles.

"Thank you Jenna. I don't need the pain meds. It's already feeling better. You better call Sean now that your back. He really hasn't been the same since you left…" Jamie says as he gets up.

"You're welcome Jamie. You will need something for the pain. He knows I'm back we ran into each other the other day… It didn't go so well. You better get back to Callie and the kids."

Jamie hugs her before he goes back up to Callie's room. He meets the nurse in the hallway. She is holding Jayce. She asks him if he wants to take him to his mommy and of course Jamie does. He carefully takes the very little guy from the nurse.

"Hi little guy. Its daddy lets go see your mommy and your big sister Peyton." He coos at his son as he walks into the room. Callie looks up and smiles at the sight of Jamie and holding their son. He kisses his little head before handing him to Callie.

"Hi Jayce. I'm your mommy. I love you so much…" He looks up at her as she talks to him.

"He is so tinny but perfect…"

"He is he weighs 5 lbs. 9 oz. and Ryder is 5 lbs. 1 oz. They look exactly alike it will be so hard to tell them apart once he catches up to Jayce…"

"We will figure it out." Jamie nods knowing he probably won't be around much after Callie is cleared from her surgery. Which breaks his heart even more.

Jamie sits next to the bed watching his wife and son. Callie looks up at him as smiles but true fully her heart is breaking. This should be one of the happiest times of her life and all she can think about is how much she hurt Jamie and that he probably will never forgive her for what she has said. Peyton starts to cry in her sleep, with the baby Callie can't really hold her so Jamie picks her up.

"Shh its okay baby daddy is here." Peyton wakes up and is still crying as she holds on to him.

"Bad deam daddy…" She says as she rubs her eyes.

"I know sweet pea. It will be okay. I have a surprise for you." She looks up at him once she has calmed down.

"What dat?"

He walks back over to the hospital bed and carefully sits next to Callie. Peyton looks over at her mommy and notices the baby in her arms.

"Peyton this is your baby brother Jayce." Peyton stares at him in awe. Her bad dream long forgotten.

"He small. Where dyer? He still in dere?" She says as she point to Callie's tummy. She looks up at Jamie.

"No sweetie he is really little so he has to be in a special bed to keep him warm."

She leans closer to Jayce and kisses his head. Callie emotions get the best of her she wipes her tears away. Peyton makes a face when Jayce starts to cry. For being so little he sure has a health set of lungs on him. Jamie picks Pey up and moves so the nurse can help Callie feed him for the first time. It doesn't take him long to figure it out and he laches on and eats.

"What he doing?" Peyton asks with a funny look on her face.

"Mommy is feeding him. Just like she did when you were a baby…" Jamie says as he watches Callie. It is just as amazing seeing him nurse for the first time as it was with Peyton.

Peyton falls a sleep sucking her thumb and holding on to peanut. Jamie lays her on the rollway bed the nurses brought in for him and Pey. He sits in the chair next to the bed. He tires to hide his tears. But Callie looks at him and smiles. Once Jayce is done eating she hands him to Jamie to burp him. He burps and Jamie hands him to the nurse to take back to the nursery. Callie can't keep her eyes open any longer. Once Callie is a sleep Jamie lays down next to Peyton and finally falls a sleep. But it doesn't wakes up in a cold sweat from a nightmare.

He looks up and Callie is still a sleep. Probably from the pain medicine thinks as he looks down at Peyton who is sound a sleep. He checks his phone and it's a little after seven. Well four hours was better than nothing. He sends a quick text to Lena to ask if she could please bring him some close for him and Peyton. He also texts Sean to let him know the twins are here. Callie wakes up when the nurse brings Jayce in. She has to laugh at him he knows exactly where his breakfast is.

"Like father like son…" Callie smirks at Jamie and he just smiles. He most be really hungry. Once she is done feeding him Jamie takes him to burp him and she pumps for Ryder. The nurse tells Callie if she feels up for it she can go see Ryder at 9 when the NICU has visiting hours. No matter how she feels she wants to see her little boy.

Peyton wakes up and goes over to her mommy and crawls up on the bed and snuggles close to her. Not very long after Stef and Lena knock and come in. Of course Stef steals Jayce out of his arms. Lena gives him his bag and he goes to take a shower.

"Hi Jayce. I'm your Nama welcome to this crazy family." She coos at him and squirms in her arms.

"He is perfect Callie. He looks just like his daddy. How are you feeling? How is Ryder doing? When do you get to see him?" Lena states as she hugs her daughter and kisses her grand daughters head.

"They both do… I'm sore and tired but okay. They said he is doing better. Jamie and me are going up in a little while. I'm not sure when they will let you guys go up."

"Don't worry about us we will see him when he is stronger. You need to rest and heal. We will be here to help anyway we can." Lena says as she steals her grandson and Stef pouts.

"Hi bubba I'm your grammy. I love you."

Jamie comes out to the bathroom as Dr. Green comes in to check on Callie. She gives her to the go head to see Ryder as long as she uses a wheel chair. Callie won't admit it but she doesn't think she could make that long of a walk just yet. Going to the bathroom is hard enough. Jamie changes Peyton and the nurse comes to get Jayce so they can go up to see Ryder.

"Okay sweet pea. Mommy and daddy are going to see Ryder. So we need you to be a big girl and stay with Nama and grammy for a little while okay?" Jamie can see the scared look on her face.

"Nama is going to take good care of you Peyton she won't let anything happen to you okay?" She finally agrees and he hands her to Stef.

Jamie helps Callie get up and get into the wheel chair before they head up to the NICU. Callie tries to prepare herself for what she is about to see. The nurses greet them and they take them over to where Ryder is. As they go passed a few incubators where there are some very little babies. Callie is thankful the twins are a big as they are. They stop and Callie looks to see her baby boy for the first time. He has oxygen in is nose and a heart monitor on. He looks so small and she starts to cry. A young very pretty doctor walks over to them.

"Hi I'm Dr. Weston. Ryder is doing very well. His oxygen levels are staying up so we will start to wean him off and his heart is a lot stronger then when he first came in. That is the good news. He does have a minor heart condition that is common is preemies. The good news is most of the time it heals itself…" Callie and Jamie listen but they can't take their eyes off of Ryder.

"What happens if it doesn't?" Jamie asks.

"Then we can do a very common surgery and he will be perfectly fine. But we will know more in a few weeks. Now Callie would you like to hold him? We believe that skin to skin contact helps a lot with preemies…" Callie looks up and smiles.

"Please as long as it won't hurt him." Dr. Weston smiles and picks him up being careful of the tubes and wires. Jamie helps Callie open her gown. She places him on her chest.

"Hi my sweet little boy. I'm your mommy. I love you so much. You are my little fighter aren't you?" Ryder looks at up at Callie and yawns. Jamie kneels down next to her and carefully touches Ryder's little hand he grabs on to his finger.

"Hi Ryder. I'm your daddy and I love you so much. It won't be long and you will be with your brother and big sister at home…" Ryder starts to root around Callie's chest.

"That is a very good sign he didn't like the bottle to much. Do you want to try to feed him?" Dr. Weston asks.

Dr. Weston closes the curtain to give Callie some privacy. It takes Ryder a little while to get the hang of it but he finally does and eats like a champ.

"So Doctor, how long do you think he will have to stay in here?" Jamie asks.

"Hopefully a couple of days. He should be able to go home when Callie gets discharged. We will monitor his heart condition closely."
