Disclaimer: Well looks like this is the ninth chapter to the story, I
hope you like it because it took me a while to get this far. I know I took
a long time to finally put it up here, but it's done now so yay! Anyway
please R&R so that I know if you like it. I'll take some flaming, but not a
lot because this took a lot of patients to come up with. The reason there
is Taker bashing is because I started to dislike him around the time I got
to the third chapter of "Unexpected Friends" so I just combined the stories
to make one big one! Have fun!
A scream rang throughout the halls of the hospital. Jeff paced nervously outside the door to the delivery room. Storme, Chris, Shane and Shannon were sitting in the chairs against the wall watching Jeff. They had tried to calm him down but nothing seemed to work at the moment. They really couldn't blame him for being worried and all. Right after the cops had arrived at Sea Breeze last week they took Blaze to the hospital. She had only gone into labor six hours before now. Jeff looked at his watch, "Its one o'clock in the morning and she still hasn't had them yet." Storme got up and hugged him, "She'll be fine Jeff."
Matt winced as Blaze grasped his hand harder; he thought she was going to break it in half. She was laying in the bed, grasping Matt's hand. Her hair was wet with sweat and with the water they put on her face to keep her cooled down. Matt couldn't do much more for her, "Blaze, let me go get Jeff. You need him in here." She shook her head, as another contraction hit her, "No Get Chris.." Matt nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him. He was glad to be out of there, he wasn't one to hand these situations.
Everyone looked up at Matt as he came out of the room. Jeff looked at his brother, "How is she?" Matt was about to answer when another scream was heard, "Does that answer your question Jeffro?" Jeff sighed, "It's been six hours." Chris stood up, "I'll go in with her for a while." Jeff nodded, "If anything.." Chris put a hand on Jeff's shoulder, "I'll come get you if anything happens." Jeff hugged Chris, "Thanks..you're the other big brother in my family." Chris smiled and then walked into the room.
Blaze looked over at Chris as he came in. When he laid eyes on her, he didn't even recognize her at first. She looked so weak and hurt, he didn't like to see her like this, and it hurt him as well. He walked up to the bed and took her hand, "How are you?" She squeezed his hand gently, "I've been better.." Chris smiled and kissed her forehead, "You'll have this over with in a little while." She was about to hug Chris when she clenched his hand tightly, "Get Jeff....Its .." She screamed again and the doctors crowded around her.
Jeff ran a hand through his hair at her scream; he had a mind to go in there right then. Chris suddenly burst into the hall and looked at Jeff, "Its time, she needs you in there." Jeff nodded and ran into the room, he looked at Blaze. She was in pain, but she was still as beautiful as ever. He ran over to the bed and grabbed her hand, "Its ok..shhhhh I'm here now." She had tears running down her face as Jeff cuddled her close. The doctor's words were not even heard by Jeff as he kept his eyes on her.
Storme paced outside the room, worry was evident in her eyes. It had been close to an hour since Jeff had went in there, and nothing had happened. Chris put his arm around her, "Calm down sweetheart." Storme stopped pacing, "I wasn't in labor this long Chris. It's been seven hours." Chris nodded, "I know, but you..." His words were cut short as Jeff came out of the room. Storme looked at him, "Jeff what's going on?" Jeff looked at her and smiled, "I'm a father Storme."
The next day they wheeled Blaze out of the hospital with the two babies. Jeff looked so happy and alive when they put her in his car. Storme put the twins in the car seats and then closed the door, "Jeff, we'll see you when we get back next week. Love ya sis." Blaze smiled as she hugged Storme and then closed her door as Jeff left the hospital. She really didn't know what to say to Jeff on the way home. Jeff looked over at her a few times; there was something different about her now. Something about her was just different; he couldn't place it yet though.
Jeff finally broke the silence in the car, "Are you ok Alex?" She looked over at him, her eyes holding a new sparkle, "I couldn't be better Jeff." He smiled and held her hand in his gently. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze. When she did he looked over at her, "Alex?" She looked in his direction, "Yes?" He took a deep breath, "Are we still going to get married?" She looked shocked, "Of course we are, why would I not?" He ran a hand through his hair, "Well you said you hated me last night." She shook her head, "I didn't mean it Jeff, it's just something that women go through when they are having kids. Rhiannon said so."
The car pulled up in the front yard of Sea Breeze and Jeff shut it off then got out. He walked around to Blaze's door and opened it, helping her out of the car. She opened the door to the back and carefully took one of the car seats out. Jeff got the other one and they walked up to the doors of the house, Shane opening them up to let them inside. Blaze walked into the house and into the living room, putting the car seat down on the floor, taking baby Nicole out of it. Jeff walked inside and put the other car seat next to Nicole's, and took Jeffrey out. She sat on the couch and held Nicole gently in her arms, Jeff sitting beside her. Both of them looked so happy now, Shane was watching them from the doorway.
A few minutes later, Shane walked into the room and looked at Blaze, "Congratulations Alexis, they are beautiful." She smiled up at Shane, "Thanks Shane, that means a lot to me." Shane smiled and gave her a gentle hug, kissing Nicole on the head. Jeff looked over at Shane, "You're a crazy one Helms, but your still part of the family." Shane smiled and then gave Jeff a hug, kissing Jeffrey on the head, "I love kids." Blaze looked at him, "Well then you can be a babysitter when I need one." Shane grinned, "Really?" She nodded to him, "Yep. You sure can." The three of them sat there until the others arrived at the house; there was a lot of commotion around the house for the next few days until everyone had seen the kids and the parents.
Blaze was sitting in her room holding both of the babies as Jeff walked in. He stopped and watched her, he didn't know what it was about watching her with the kids, but it gave him a good feeling inside. She would hold them so gently against her and sing softly to them as she rocked in her rocking chair. He could stand there for hours on end if he wanted to, it wouldn't have bothered him in the least. He walked on into the room and came up behind her, leaning down to kiss her cheek gently, "Hey sweetheart." Blaze looked at him and smiled, "Hey Jeffykins." He looked down at the kids, "They remind me of you."
She smiled and then stood up carefully, taking the kids over to their cribs. Jeff watched as she gently laid them down and covered them up. She would kiss each of them and then run her finger gently along their little hands. He smiled to himself, he was so lucky to have someone like her, he hoped that he would never lose her again. She finished putting them down and then went back to him, putting her arms around him gently. He pulled her close to him and kissed her forehead, "I can hardly wait until next weekend." She nodded, "I know how you feel. I'm so happy Jeff." He looked at her and smiled, "So am I Alexis."
They stood there in their room, hugging each other close for a little while. It was nice to be in the other's company when they had time. Both of them were anxious about the wedding now that everything had been taken care of. Jeff finally let her go, making sure she got into the bed, he would stay up a while longer before going to bed. He sat down at his desk while she drifted off to sleep in their bed. He wrote from his heart that night, the words he would say to her the following weekend. When he finished he put the paper safely away and then climbed into bed with her, pulling her tight against him. He was so excited about the wedding that he just had to keep her close to him.
