Peter and the Cliffhangers arrived at the hospital in 15 minutes when it was supposed to take 40 minutes. No one complained though. They got there just as Dr. Sanso did. Peter and the gang were just outside the door as they wheeled Shelby out.
"Shellie?! Hang in there!" Jess said.
"Jess! Danny! She's in trouble!" Shelby said in a hoarse voice when she saw her siblings as she passed by.
"Nah, she just wants some attention. She'll be fine Shelby." Daisy said from behind her. Shelby actually stopped whimpering for a moment focusing on the comment.
"Daisy must be here." She said, with a twitch of a smile. But her face was bright red and she was breathing heavily. They wheeled her quickly to the O.R.
"Jess.wait.you guys! Promise to stay with your baby! Jess, tell them! No names, just their baby!" Shelby said quickly, knowing that Scott and Sophie would be with her in the O.R., when the babies left one by one, someone had to follow them.
"I promise. And mim on the names." Jess promised, holding her letter. They wheeled her into the doors where no one could pass through. Scott and Sophie were directed to the changing room and given scrub jump suits to wear with booties, hats, and masks. Peter and the gang stayed outside in the hall just as Kat and her beau Hank showed up.
"She okay? The babies?" Kat said out of breath.
"She's got real high blood pressure 'cause 4 of the babies are in an uproar over one of the girls; Baby B's heart rate has dropped." Danny relayed.
Sophie and Scott were situated in the room, Sophie with the camera, at Shelby's head. The place was loaded with doctors, nurses, and specialists. There must have been over 30 personal in there. Within 10 minutes after the drugs took effect they almost had baby # 1. From the latest sonogram, the doctor knew where each baby was located and knew which one would come first and next.
"Okay Shelby,..here comes you first baby..it's a girl!" Dr. Sanso said pulling out an impossibly tiny baby. She barely whimpered. He kept going. The most distressed baby, Baby B, was also the farthest.
"Okay..Shel..hold on.." Scott said, eyes wide with fear. He looked back and forth to his first born and to his wife.
"S-she okay?" Shelby whispered through a trembling chin. Scott leaned and tried to see as much as possible.
"She's tiny..the smallest little baby..but she's wiggling and pinkish..they're putting a tube down her throat." He informed, not beating around the bush with her. He knew that's what she'd wanted.
"Daddy! Come cut the chord!" a nurse yelled.
"I'll be right back!" Scott said, stroking Shelby's cheek then went over to them and gingerly cut the chord. He just turned around when.
"Okay, next baby..it's a boy!" Dr. Sanso said, passing the second baby off, but just seconds later before he got the next baby.
"It's another boy! The identicals!" he said, passing him off. But he had to ungrasp a tiny fist from the chord.
"The identicals won't let go of each other!" a nurse commented giggling. Scott stood amazed as they worked on the next two babies near by him.
"Doctor! They appear to have T.T.T.S.!" a nurse yelled over her shoulder as she worked on the first of the boys.
"Transfuse and compensate." He yelled back, still working on the next baby.
[a/n: T.T.T.S. is Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. It means one baby, usually the bigger one, was feeding off of the smaller one's blood and nourishment. My twin sis and I had the same thing. The smaller baby has less than 1/3 off their normal blood and needs a blood transfusion to survive; the bigger one, because they took all that blood, caused them to go severally jaundice, so they have to be cooked under the ultra violet light for a day or so. It happens a lot in identical twins, but if not caught in time, and the babies go to full term, the littler one would be still born, like I would have been if we didn't come 6 ½ weeks early.]
Just then the nurses started to bring the first girl out. As the doors opened, Jess saw a 'Baby E' pink sign on the incubator.
"Baby Girl E? Daisy, that's your baby, go!" Jess said, looking up at the sky for a second to say a quick prayer. Then she focused back on the door. Kat handed a pink plastic-y rosary to Daisy as she quickly followed the nurses and incubator down the hall to the NICU. The nurses allowed it due to arrangements Shelby had made earlier in the pregnancy.
Inside, Scott just finished cutting the two boys chords, just after the nurses put them on ventilators, when the next baby came out.
"It's a boy! The biggest one!" Dr. Sanso announced, passing him over to a nurse. He actually cried a bunch compared to his siblings. Shelby smiled through tears as her chin trembled.
"I hear him!" she said hoarsely. But she could sure breathe better!
"Get my girl! She's in trouble!" Shelby said urgently. The doctor nodded towards the specialists to be ready. Just then the first of the identical boys left in a hurry. Out the door, Jess saw the green Baby C and yelled for Peter to move it. He left, grabbing the green rosary from Kat, just as the other identical boy came out, more slowly, with a yellow Baby D on it.
"Jules! Auggie! He's yours!" Jess hollered at them. They both looked wide-eyed and high tailed it after him, barely catching the yellow and green rosary's Kat tossed at them.
They eventually put the last boy, Baby A, on a ventilator and prepared him to leave once Scott cut his chord. Shelby barely saw him as the doctor said he had Baby B.
"Here it comes..it's a girl!" he said, immediately handing her to the awaiting nurses.
"She okay? Scott!? Tell me she's okay!?" Shelby cried worriedly. He nodded and stayed close by her, watching as even more nurses and specialists worked on his tiny daughter.
Right then, the doors opened and out went the incubator with a blue Baby A on it. Jess noted this and looked at Danny.
"He's mine?" Danny said smiling.
"Me and you. But I gotta stay a little longer. Go!" Jess said quickly and handed him the blue rosary and turned back to the door. Only she, Kat, and Hank were left. Kat only had a purple rosary left.
{just kidding! Chapters not over!! Muahahaha! I'm so mean!}
Meanwhile, they hooked Baby B up to monitors and a ventilator and stuff. Scott cut his last child's chord as they whizzed her by Shelby.
"They have to go Shel, but she looks real pink and I saw her open her eyes a bunch. Especially to my voice." Scott said sitting with her once again. He had tears in his eyes.
As the doors opened Jess looked at all the special equipment and extra nurses surrounding the purple Baby B incubator and looked up to Kat.
"Keep an extra eye on her. She's all yours." Jess said softly, finally letting the tears flow. After a few moments of being all by herself, she left slowly down the hall to the NICU and her 'baby'. She joined Danny and the rest of them outside the window as they kept an eye on each of their babies and waited until the nurses let them in to sit by them.
They finished up with Shelby and wheeled her into Recovery.
"Mama, go check on them..Please." Shelby said weakly. She had oxygen in her nose, 2 IVs in each arm with fluids, medicine, and blood. Scott sat right by her side until she said it was all right to go see their babies.
"Soph got it all on tape?" Shelby mumbled.
"Yeah, and I could see Jess order each guardian to each of our babies." Scott said, stroking her cheek softly.
"Okay..I'm so tired..wake me when you know anything." Shelby said konking out. Scott took a deep breath then, gazing at this remarkable person who HE was married to then looked down to the ground as more tears of ALL kinds of emotions came pouring slowly out. Happy, fear, amazement, scared, shocked, he couldn't keep track. He was a daddy now, but he still might lose them. He silently said a prayer as he took Shelby's hand and held it firmly in his grasp, waiting for what was to come.
