Landon was as nervous or more than Jamie. As the doctor prepared Jamie to
go into surgery, Landon stayed with her. "Don't leave me Landon, I'm
scared," said Jamie. "Don't worry honey, everything is going to be fine, I
promise." Landon stayed with Jamie until she was wheeled past the door. He
walked down to the lobby to call his parents and tell them what was going
on. They said that they had finished the baby's room, and would come as
soon as possible to be with Landon until Jamie got out of surgery. They
brought him Wendy's, since he had not eaten since lunch. They sat with him
and talked about the babies and how much he loved them even though they
weren't even born yet.
Hours later, the doctor came out to talk to Landon and his parents. Landon saw the doctor walking down the hall from surgery and stood up, waiting for news of his wife and babies. The doctor had a blank expression on his face. "How is she?" asked Landon, very worried. "You are now the proud father of two babies," said the doctor. Landon smiled, tears streaming down his face. "How's Jamie?" he asked, wiping his face. "She's fine. They're going to move her into recovery in just a little while and then you can see her and take her to the nursery to see the babies," said the doctor. "Thank you so much," said Landon, shaking his hand.
After another two hours of anxious waiting, Landon could finally go see Jamie. He slightly opened the door to her hospital room, looking in to see if she was asleep. He saw her open the door and turned to look at him. "Hey sweetheart," he said. "Everything's fine," said Landon. "Come sit," said Jamie. Landon sat next to her on the foot of the bed. "Can we see our babies?" asked Jamie. "Yes, want to go see them?" asked Landon. Jamie nodded. "Be right back," he said, kissing her on the forehead.
Landon went out in the hallway and got a wheelchair. He wheeled it back into Jamie's room and put it next to the bed. Landon leaned down next to Jamie's bed. She put her arms around his neck, and he helped her into the wheelchair. He wheeled her out into the hall and they went down the hall to the nursery. Landon stopped the wheelchair in front of the glass where the babies were. "Let's call him Andrew," said Jamie. Landon smiled, looking over at their smaller baby girl, who they decided to call Emily. "Can I hold them?" asked Jamie. Landon nodded. "I'll take you back to your room and bring them to you," said Landon. He wheeled her back into the hall and helped her back into bed. They also found that Landon's parents were waiting in Jamie's room for them. "I'm going to get the babies, I'll be right back," said Landon.
He walked down the hall and into the nursery. Talking to the nurse, he was able to put the babies into little beds and take them back for Jamie's room for her to kiss and hold.
Landon got back to the room with the babies. He gave Emily to Jamie, and he held William, who they had decided to call Andrew. "So who are these beautiful babies?" asked Landon's mom. "This is William Andrew, but we decided to call him Andrew," said Landon. "And this is Emily Aurora," said Jamie, rocking Emily gently. "They are so precious," said Landon's mom.
After oohing and ahhing over the babies for quite some time, Landon gave Andrew to his mom so that he could make sure Jamie and the babies were okay to go home. Landon walked back into the room with a wheelchair for Jamie. He carefully took Emily in his arms, and Landon's dad helped Jamie into the wheelchair. Landon gave Jamie the baby, and Landon took all of their bags.
Landon pulled the car into the driveway of their house. He came around the car and took the Emily from Jamie, giving it to Landon's dad, while Landon's mom held Andrew. Landon helped Jamie out of the car and into the house. "Close your eyes," he said. Jamie giggled a little. Taking her hand, Landon carefully led her upstairs. "Where are you taking me?" asked Jamie. "You'll see," said Landon, followed by Landon's parents carrying the babies. Landon led Jamie up a few more steps to the baby's room.
Landon stood behind Jamie and covered her eyes with his hands. Stepping in front of her a little, he opened the door and led her inside the front. "Okay, open your eyes," said Landon. Jamie opened her eyes and gasped. "Oh my gosh Landon!" she screamed, wrapping her arms around Landon's neck and kissing him. Landon's parents had finished the room earlier that day. Now, the walls were blue, with the pretty bunny border that Jamie picked out. The white cribs and changing table were in the room too, with all the blankets and toys, and even Landon's rocker from when he was a baby. Landon's parents brought the sleeping babies into the room and set them in their cribs.
Later that night, as Jamie and Landon lay in bed together, in the darkness of the room, Jamie softly began to sing the song that Landon always loved:
There's a song that's inside of my soul It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again I'm awake in the infinite cold But you sing to me over and over again
So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray, to be only yours I pray, to be only yours I know now, you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars Of your galaxy laughing and laughing again When it feels like my dreams are so far Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
I give you my destiny I'm giving you all of me I want your symphony Singing in all that I am At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours, I pray to be only yours I know now, you're my only hope
Ohhhhh Hmmmm Ohhhhh
