Chapter Eight
~~~~~~~~~~
Philip awoke to a loud scream and a crash. He immediately ran downstairs, following the scream that soon drifted into a chilling quietness. He couldn't believe his eyes when he walked into the living room to find his wife laying on the floor with a shattered vase next to her head.
"Mimi!" Philip yelled, kneeling down beside her and wiping the few fragments of glass from her head.
She blinked her eyes a few times before opening them and sobbing.
"Philip, it hurts," she cried as he lifted her head onto his lap.
"Francis!" Philip yelled.
She soon burst into the room.
"Yes, sir," she answered. "Oh my gosh, Mrs. Kiriakis!"
"Call the hospital, and then go make sure David is alright. I'm taking her to the hospital. I'll update you later," Philip said slowly rising, carrying a sobbing Mimi.
~~~~~~~~~~~
At the Hospital....
"Mr. Kiriakis," the doctor said, entering the waiting room.
"Yes," Philip answered as he rushed to the doctor. "How is she?"
"Your wife is fine. We had to take the babies. Your son and daughter are in ICU. Your daughter should be alright, but your son needs an operation. We're asking that your family and friends donate blood for the baby."
"Oh my gosh," Philip began crying.
"Where do we go?" a voice came from behind.
Philip turned around to see Shawn, Belle, Brady, Chloe, Victor, Kate, and basically everyone else related to Philip or Mimi.
"The nurse will direct you," the doctor smiled.
The group emerged from the waiting area after hugging Philip and headed to donate blood.
~~~~~~~~~~
A Couple Hours Later...
"Mr. Kiriakis, we've been able to stabilize the baby," the doctor said, walking over to Philip.
"Thank you, doctor. Can I see her now?"
"First there's a couple things I need to talk to you about."
"Okay," Philip agreed.
"First of all you need to know that the baby is in perfect condition now. Secondly, after testing all the blood donated, there was only one person who had the same blood type as the baby."
"Yeah, and that would have to be me."
"No, I'm sorry Mr. Kiriakis, it wasn't."
"Then who was it?" Philip questioned, a little uneasily.
"Mr. Brady Black," the doctor said, noticing the unwelcome faces Brady was receiving from everyone in the room. "We've tested the sample twice, and it's indisputable that yes, Mr. Black you are the father of Mrs. Kiriakis's twins. I'll leave you for a moment, just know that both of the babies are in perfect condition. Mr. Kiriakis, Mrs. Kiriakis is asking for you."
"Don't call her that!" Philip yelled, letting his anger come out.
The doctor quickly left.
"I'm going to go speak to my wife now, but don't you dare leave, Black," Philip yelled as he turned and walked to Mimi's hospital room.
"Philip don't!" Belle yelled after him, but it was too late he was already gone.
Chloe ran out of the hospital and drove away before anyone could notice she was gone.

Mimi's Hospital Room...
When Philip walked into Mimi's room, he saw her laying with her back towards the door, crying her eyes out.
Hearing the door open, Mimi turned over to face Philip.
"Philip."
"How could you?"
"I...I..."
"Save it. I loved you with all my heart, and you slept around behind my back? How could you? And with Brady?"
"But Philip..."
"Just know that I won't be living in the house any longer. I'm having my things moved to the guest house, and just know that if it wasn't for David, I'd kick you out of the house in a heartbeat, but I can't stand the thought of a child not having a mother." With that, Philip left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~
A few minutes later, Mimi heard a knock on her door.
"Come in," Mimi said, wiping the tears from her eyes and turning towards the door.
"Mimi, we need to talk," Brady said, entering the room.
"Yes we do. I never meant to hurt anyone. I'm so ashamed of myself. It was all a mistake," Mimi cried.
"No, it wasn't a mistake. It allowed you to have the babies you had always dreamed about," Brady said, hugging Mimi. "You and I both know that you're the happiest person in the world right now with those two beautiful, healthy babies. I don't regret a single minute of it Mimi, and I know you don't either. You would've done anything to have children, and we both know that."
"That's true. I even risked my own marriage to have children. Brady, how could I? How could I have thrown away the only person who's ever cared for me, the only person who loves me, the only person I love? Brady, you know that there was nothing more between us than friendship. All we were doing was ruining our marriages and trying to get me pregnant. Now I have two beautiful babies , and I know I should be happy and grateful that they're both healthy now, but I just can't be happy when I've lost the only person I truly cared about. The only person who loved me no matter what."
"Miriam Kiriakis, you're not just gonna give up on your life! I won't let you! We'll save our marriages, because that's just the way you are, you fight for what you want, and you always get it," Brady reassured her as he hugged her.
Little did they know that Philip had heard every word they had shared. He had let Mimi down. It was his fault they couldn't have children together, and it was him who would make everything right again. He would be the first to apologize, but not just yet. He had to make it perfect.
