(A/N: Yea! I FINALLY finished!!!!! Oh who thank, who to
thank? Thanks to all my readers and reviewers who pushed me
to finish this story. The quote that Webb says at the end is
from one of Eric Clapton song's. (No I don't know which.)
Enjoy, and please read and review.)
Fade in.
(Webb's POV)
Roberts has been pacing the waiting room for the better part of the hour now, and he is making me sea sick. I would say something, but the risk of getting hit or yelled at was too high so I keep my mouth shut. I know this has happened to them before, and the result was one dead baby girl. I just prayed this wasn't going to happen again.
"Sit down Bud; you're wearing a hole in the carpet." AJ said quietly.
"Yes sir," Bud said and sat down.
Mac shifted Trey to her other arm, and held Bud's hand in hers. "They are going to be okay Bud."
"I hope so ma'am. This can't happen again."
I know have been anything but nice to Roberts in the past, but now I am starting to realize what I was too blind to see in the past. Bud Roberts is a pretty decent man. (A/N: You really can't expect anything heartfelt from Webb, can you?)
Thirty minutes ago, the police detective called with the confession from Mac's father. He told the detectives he did it because he wanted to get back at his "slut daughter" for ruining his life. He was lucky that Turner hit him instead of me; I wouldn't have stopped at breaking his nose. Ever since that phone call; Harm has been trying to convince that this whole thing wasn't her fault. I never took a tough jarhead marine like Mac, to react the way she did. She just totally closed herself off, except for a few tears, she has said nothing. I think Harm knows the story between her and her father, but he isn't explaining it us.
When Bud spotted the nurse, he jumped out of his seat, like his six was on fire. He bombarded her with questions before she could get one word out. The Admiral gently put a hand on his shoulder telling him to let her talk.
"Mr. Roberts, your wife and children are doing just fine."
Everyone gave a sigh of relief.
"If you follow me, I'll take you to see them."
After Bud left we all sat down again, with smiles tugging at the corners of our mouths. Thanking God this day wasn't as bad as it started out. Mac's father was charged, and would be put on trial soon, the Robert's babies were okay, and that gorgeous nurse at the desk was looking at me.
Before I could get up and go introduce myself, Bud, followed by a nurse came out carrying his twins.
"Everyone, I would like you to meet Aiden Zachary, and Emma Lynne Roberts."
"Congratulations Roberts," I said following everyone else.
While everyone was looking at the two newest additions to the Roberts family, I quietly made my way over to the elevators, making a mental note to send Harriet some flowers. I got into the empty elevators and loosened my tie. "All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave" I whispered to the empty elevators.
End.
