Cate stayed until New Years, and then went back to Florida. The time went
by quickly, and pretty soon it was February 16th, 4 days before Mary's due
date. She was quite excited, but still scared. She didn't want this birth
to turn out like the last one. But Robbie, and her doctors kept assuring
her it wouldn't be. Her and Robbie still hadn't decided on a baby name, and
they were running out of time. It was the evening, and Mary was in her
room, Hailey was sprawled out on Mary's bed watching television, while Mary
folded laundry. Robbie was still at work, and there was nothing else she
could do to preoccupy herself. She just then heard the door open, and it
being shut. She dropped the shirt she was folding, and shut the TV off. She
took Hailey's hand, and led her downstairs.
"Daddy!!" Hailey yelled.
"Hey baby." He said scooping her up, "How is my little princess?"
"Good." She giggled.
He put her down, and she ran into the living room.
"How is my beautiful wife?" he smiled, kissing her.
"I am fine." She said giggling, as he moved his lips down to her neck.
"How are my babies?"
"They are good, but are kicking the hell out of me."
They walked hand in hand into the kitchen, and they sat down at the already set table. Hailey scampered over, and Robbie helped her into her booster. They all ate quietly, and then after dinner Robbie bathed Hailey, because Mary couldn't bend down. She went into her room, and sat on the bed. She had been having stomach pains all day, and she wondered if she was going to be giving birth soon. She picked up the phone, and dialed Lucy's number.
"Hello." Answered Scott.
"Hi, is Lucy there?"
"Yeah, sure."
He went and got her, and a minute later her cheery voice came across the line.
"Hey Mary."
"Hi."
"So, what's up?"
"I think I am ready." She said.
"Ready for what?"
"I think its time, I have been having stomach pains all day, and since I am so close, I think its time." She whispered.
"Did your water break?" asked Lucy alertly.
"No."
"Well if you start having contractions, or your water breaks, get to the hospital." Ordered Lucy.
"What does a contraction feel like?"
"You know what period cramps feel like?"
"Yeah."
"Well times that by 100."
"Oh great." Mary sighed.
"Do you want me to come get Hailey?"
"No, you already have Alicia, I think if I go into labor, I will just call Simon, like I planned."
"Okay, but if you need me call me."
"Okay, thanks Luce."
"No problem."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Mary hung up the phone just as Robbie came in the room.
"Who was that?"
"Luce."
"Oh, okay. I am going to take a shower, and then I will be back."
"Alright."
Mary got under the covers, and closed her eyes. She didn't mean to fall asleep, she just did. Robbie came out of the shower a few minutes later, and saw her sleeping. She flinched in her sleep, and clutched her stomach. He looked at her strangely, and at the calendar at her bedside. She was close to her due date, he wondered if she was going to have the baby soon. He pushed the thought from his mind, and crawled into bed next to her.
At around 4:30, Mary woke up in a hot sweat. She felt wet all over. She got out of bed, and looked at where she had been lying. It was soaked, and she just had a pain in her stomach. She cried as another came on.
"Robbie." She said faintly at first, "Robbie!"
"What?" he asked, jumping up.
He saw his wife's face, full off pain, and tears streaming down her cheeks.
"My water just broke."
"Oh shit!" he yelled.
"Shhh! Call my Simon, tell him to get here quick. He's staying with Hailey. And get my bag." She said through clenched teeth.
Robbie ran to the phone, and dialed Simon's cell phone number. He picked up after a few rings, and Robbie as calmly as he could, explained what was happening. Robbie grabbed Mary's bag, and helped her downstairs. Simon pulled up just as Robbie got Mary in the car. Simon was wearing boxers, no shirt, and sneakers, but he was here. Robbie looked at him, but didn't have time to laugh. He had to get his wife to the hospital.
"Good luck!" Simon called, as they pulled out of the driveway.
Mary kept having contractions, but she stopped crying. Robbie was driving quickly to the hospital, while he held Mary's hand. He parked the car out front, and opened Mary's door. He took her hand, and helped her out. They went into the emergency room, and summoned a nurse. She took Mary up to the maternity ward, and got her situated in a room. She had calmed down, and was now eating ice chips Robbie was giving her. The doctors said she was 3 centimeters dilated, and they needed her to be 8 to give birth. Mary kept her hand on her stomach, she would get contractions every so often, but she would just grit her teeth, and bear with them. She kept telling herself she was going to get bundles of joy out of this, all she had to do was get through a few hours of pain. She drifted off to sleep, as Robbie sat next to her rubbing her hand.
Dream:
She was sitting in the nursery watching her daughter, Hailey. She was in her incubator, and was so small. Tears slid down Mary's face. She touched the plastic of the box, and blew her little girl a kiss.
**Flash**
Now she was lying on her bed with 5-month-old Hailey in her arms. She was talking to her, telling her how much she loved her, and just talking to her about anything and everything she could think of.
**Flash**
Now she was sitting on the couch watching a morning talk show, 8-½ month Hailey was playing on the ground. Mary got up to get something from the shelf on the other side of the room. Hailey stood up on her little legs, and took a few steps. Mary turned around and saw her.
"Come to mommy." Said Mary putting out her arms.
Hailey wobbled over and fell on Mary's lap. Tears were in Mary's eyes, as she hugged and kissed her love and joy.
**Flash**
Now Mary was sitting on the couch, feet up, and a little baby wrapped in pink of her chest. Robbie came in holding a baby in a blue blanket, and sat down next to his wife. Hailey scampered into the room, and placed a kiss on the baby's head. Mary couldn't see the babies' faces, but she knew they were the most beautiful beings she had ever seen.
Someone coming in the room interrupted her dream, they shut the door rather loudly, and Mary opened her eyes. Robbie was still awake sitting next to her, and the doctor came over to her.
"Hello Mary, lets see how much we've progressed."
She checked her.
"Well it looks as if you are 6 centimeters dilated. As soon as you're two more centimeters we are gonna start to push."
"Okay." Mary said.
The doctor left, and Robbie stared at Mary.
"What?" she asked.
"I was just thinking that you are so beautiful." He said smiling, and squeezing her hand.
"Thank you."
"I love you, and I am so grateful that again you are having my children."
"Aww. I love you." She said, she was just about to lean in and kiss him, but she got a big contraction. She moaned in pain, and held her stomach. 2 minutes later another one came.
"Robbie, my contractions are 2 minutes apart. Get the doctor."
By then Mary had been in labor 6 hours.
Robbie went and quickly got the doctors, and he came back with her following him.
"Well Mary, let me just check you, and we'll see." Said the doctor, "Well in fact you are ready. Let me get the nurses, and we'll start."
"Please hurry." She said through gritted teeth.
The nurses were there in minutes, and they assembled around, getting everything they needed ready. Robbie stood up, and held onto Mary's hand tightly.
"Okay Mary, I need you to push at the count of three." Said the doctor, "1.2...3."
Mary pushed on command, and let it out with a long breath.
"Okay again now. 1.2..3"
She pushed again, and fell back panting on the bed.
"I can't do this." She whined.
"Yes you can baby. Come on."
"Okay, Mary. 1..2..3" said the doctor.
She pushed again with all her might.
"I can see the head. All I need is one more big push, and he or she will be out."
"Okay." Mary said in a strained voice.
"1.2..3"
Mary pushed as hard as she could, and dropped her head onto the pillow. She heard loud cries, and laughed and cried at the same time.
"Congratulations, you have a baby boy." Said the doctor. "Now lets get the other out."
"1..2...3"
Mary pushed over and over again.
"Okay, one last big push."
Mary again pushed, and again she heard cries. She was finally done, she had given birth. She laughed, and tears sprang into her eyes. Robbie had already cut the other umbilical cord, and he was now cutting this one.
"Mary, congratulations on having a baby girl and boy. The nurses will go clean them up, and bring them back later."
"Okay." Mary said between tears.
The doctor, and nurses left, and Robbie went over to Mary. She was crying and smiling at the same time. He hugged her, and kissed her lightly.
"I love you so much." He said between his own sobs.
"I love you too."
10 minutes later the nurses were back with the babies.
"Mr. and Mrs. Palmer your son is 5 lbs 2 ounces, and was born at 12:14 pm. And this is your daughter, who is 4 lbs 3 ounces, born at 12:32 pm." Said the nurse handing the babies to Mary and Robbie.
"I will leave the naming papers with you, and I will be back for them later." She said leaving.
Mary starred down at the baby boy in her arms. She smiled and stroked his little cheek.
"I can't believe we did this again. We made them."
"I know sweetie." He said kissing his daughters hand.
"We have to name them." She whispered.
"I know." He whispered back, and then laughed.
"Give me her, and you can fill out the paper."
"Okay." He carefully handed Mary the baby, and went over to the table.
"First do his. Its Justin Gabriel Palmer." She told him.
He filled it out, and looked back at her.
"What's her name gonna be?"
"Ummm.. I think you should pick."
"I don't know. Plus we both should have a say."
"Okay, I think we should go with Jessica." She gave in.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes, very."
"Okay, so Jessica Faith Palmer."
"Yes."
He walked back over to the bed, and laid down next to her. He took Justin out of her arms, and held him in his own.
"I always wanted a son." He said smiling.
"I did too."
They sat like that for a long time, just starring at the babies in front of them. Then Mary had to feed them, she chose to breast feed, so she was doing that one at a time. Robbie was holding Jessica, when there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" asked Robbie, obviously not wanting some man to come in while his wife was breast-feeding.
"Its Annie, Eric, Ruthie, and the twins."
"Come in then." Robbie called back.
The door was opened and they all came in. Mary had just finished up, and was closing her shirt. She smiled when she saw her parents and siblings.
"Hi Mary, how are you?"
"I am good mom, just a little tired." Mary replied, smiling wanly.
"What did you guys name them?" asked Ruthie.
"Well this is Jessica Faith." Said Robbie standing up, and walking towards them.
"And this is Justin Gabriel." Added Mary.
"Awww. they are so cute." Remarked Annie.
Annie, and Ruthie stayed a while more, while Eric took the twins home. The babies were taken from Mary, so she could get some sleep. While she was doing this they all went down to the cafeteria. Robbie couldn't get a smile off his face, even though he was exhausted, he was still in total bliss. Annie and Ruthie left, and said they would be back this evening to see Mary. Robbie sat in the cafeteria eating a sandwich, and just thinking about his life. He had three beautiful kids, and a beautiful wife.
He finished his food, and made his way back up to the room. When he got in Mary was sound asleep, so he sat in a nearby chair, and tried to also get some sleep. He finally managed to get comfortable on it, and fell asleep. 2 hours later the nurse came in with the babies, so Mary had to get up and feed them. She did this while Robbie held the other. After she was done, she was allowed to have an hour with them.
"I wanna see my baby." Whined Mary.
"You're holding one."
"No, I want to see Hailey."
"Oh, yeah me too. Let me call Simon, and we'll tell him to come." Right as Robbie said that, there was a knock at the door, and Hailey came rushing in. Robbie put Justin in Mary's arms, and scooped up his little girl.
"Hi sweetie. I missed you so much." He said hugging her tightly, "Were you good for Uncle Simon?"
"I'm aways good for Uncle Sime." She giggled.
"Hi Mary." Said Simon coming in.
"Hey."
"They are so cute."
"Thanks."
"Who'd them?" asked Hailey pointing to the Jessica and Justin.
"They are your new brother and sister. That's Jessica, and Justin."
"Jessica? Justin?"
"Yep."
"They small."
"Yes, sweetie they are very small." Mary said smiling, "Come give me a hug sweetie."
Robbie took the twins out of Mary's arms, and put them in their basinets. Hailey sat next to Mary, and told her all about what her and 'Uncle Sime' did.
"Mary they look so much like you." Said Simon hovering over the basinet.
"They do have her lips, and eyes. They have my nose though, and it looks as though my hair as well." Robbie added.
"Yeah, I think you're right."
"Simon, did you give Hailey lunch yet?" asked Mary.
"Nope, I'll take her to the cafeteria now though." He said, picking her up off the bed and taking her with him.
Just as Simon left, Lucy walked in. She was holding a big balloon, and two teddy bears. Scott was behind her, holding Alicia. She put the stuff down on the window sill, and went over to the basinets.
"Oh my god, they are so cute." She gushed.
"Yeah, they really are." Added Scott.
"What are their names?"
"Jessica Faith, and Justin Gabriel." Mary answered smiling.
"Aww.. That's so cute. Jessica and Justin."
"They look like Mary with Robbie's nose." Said Scott looking at the babies.
"That's exactly what Simon and I said." Laughed Robbie.
Simon stayed a while longer, and then took Hailey back to her house. He was still watching her. Lucy left after a few hours, and Annie and Ruthie came again. They stayed until 5:00, and then they left. At the moment, Jessica and Justin were with the nurses, and Mary was sleeping. Robbie was watching a basketball game on television, and someone cracked open the door. He looked to see who it was, and saw Matt. Robbie smiled, and went over and gave him a hug. Sarah was with him, and Robbie also gave her a hug. Matt put a finger to his lips, and walked over to the bed. He touched Mary's shoulder lightly, and pushed her a little. She opened her eyes groggily, but smiled brightly when she saw her brother looking back at her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him in for a hug.
"I have missed you so much!" she exclaimed.
"I've missed you too, sweetie. How are you?" he asked, sitting on the side of the bed.
"I'm good, a little worn out, but good." She smiled.
"I am glad, how are my niece and nephew?"
"They are good, they should be back in 5 minutes."
"Names?"
"Justin and Jessica."
"Very cute." He said.
"I am so sorry, I didn't even say hi." Mary said, pushing herself up, and addressing Sarah.
"No problem." Sarah smiled, and walked over.
"Its very nice to see you too." Said Mary smiling, and giving her a hug.
"I wanna see the babies." Matt said again.
"They're coming, wait." Mary said laughing.
Matt, Sarah, Mary, and Robbie talked until they brought the twins back. Then Matt was engrossed in holding Jessica, and starring at her. Matt took turns holding Jessica and Justin. They stayed for a little while longer, then left. Mary fed the babies, and the nurses took them away again. Robbie laid down on the cot the hospital had given him, and thought about how much he was blessed. He kissed Mary's hand, before sleep over took him.
****I hope you like the chapter!! Review!!****
"Daddy!!" Hailey yelled.
"Hey baby." He said scooping her up, "How is my little princess?"
"Good." She giggled.
He put her down, and she ran into the living room.
"How is my beautiful wife?" he smiled, kissing her.

"I am glad, how are my niece and nephew?"
"They are good, they should be back in 5 minutes."
"Names?"
"Justin and Jessica."
"Very cute." He said.
"I am so sorry, I didn't even say hi." Mary said, pushing herself up, and addressing Sarah.
"No problem." Sarah smiled, and walked over.
"Its very nice to see you too." Said Mary smiling, and giving her a hug.
"I wanna see the babies." Matt said again.
"They're coming, wait." Mary said laughing.
Matt, Sarah, Mary, and Robbie talked until they brought the twins back. Then Matt was engrossed in holding Jessica, and starring at her. Matt took turns holding Jessica and Justin. They stayed for a little while longer, then left. Mary fed the babies, and the nurses took them away again. Robbie laid down on the cot the hospital had given him, and thought about how much he was blessed. He kissed Mary's hand, before sleep over took him.
