Chapter 22

Shawn drove Belle to the doctor and he first ran some tests on her to see what the dizziness was about. The doctor said that she is on to much medication. He asked her if she had been eating right. Belle said she hadn't ate all day cause she doesn't have an appetite. The doctor told her she needs to eat when she is taking this medication. He told her the dizzy spells were from not eating and taking too much medication. Then he X-rayed her very swollen ankle. He told her that she had a pretty bad sprained ankle. He told her she is lucky she didn't break it. So he went and got her an air cast and put it on.

She tried to step down on it. The doctor tried to stop her but it was to late. As soon as she put pressure on it she fell into Shawn's waiting arms. The doctor gave her crutches

and told her to use those. Belle was leaving and then they saw her dad run in pushing her mom and carrying a bag. The nurse wheeled Marlena into a room and told the doctor that Marlena is in labor. Belle was so happy. John immediately ran over to see what happened to his daughter. She told him that she got dizzy and fell off the bleachers. She told him that she was taking too much medication to not be eating. John told her to go eat now.

Then he wanted to know where the boys are. She told him they were in the cafe getting a drink. John asked Belle to go call Brady and give him the news. So Belle told John she would make sure they all knew and that they were taking the boys to eat and would be back with Brady. So everyone went to eat at Hacienda. Shawn went to get changed so he dropped Belle and her brother's off so they could get their stuff. Belle was ready to head to the hospital so she told Tyler to drive the jeep over to Shawn's to get them. They picked up Shawn, JT, and Mackenzie. Kyle got out and rode with Brady who was behind them and he took Thomas too. So they got to the hospital only to find Hope and Bo waiting there.

They had worried expressions on their faces and told them that Marlena is having trouble with the labor. So the Black children went into the chapel to pray that everyone would be okay. After hours of waiting and leaving to go eat dinner she finally had the babies. The babies were born at about 11:00 and everyone was exhausted. Marlena had the two girls and then a boy she thought she was finished but then the doctor told her to keep pushing.

John was yelling she is done see there are three babies no more pushing. The doctor said well I was wrong there is more babies in here. John said how many more she said three and John passed out cold on the floor. Marlena then had one more boy and 2 more girls. So she had two boys and four girls. She was exhausted. She held all her children and then fell fast asleep. Dr. Bader walked out into the waiting room and told everyone they could come in and see your brothers and sisters. (See they only knew about the first three). So Brady said don't you mean brother and sisters. She said no I said it right the first time and walked away. Everyone was really confused but went into Marlena's room to see John on a bed and Marlena on a bed.

Marlena had woken up and she was holding the first three and John had the second three. Brady walked in and was like Mom were are they and Belle said over here with Dad and Brady said no mom has them. They both looked at the opposite parent and their mouths dropped open. Marlena said kids prepare to move we need a much bigger house.
