Chapter 25

It is now 2 weeks before Liz's due date. Dr. Meadows has ordered Liz to stay off her feet. Carly has been spending every day with her while Jason is at work. Erika is due to fly back up since she wants to be there for the births. Carly gets up and walks into the kitchen. Just as she reaches for a glass she hears Liz Scream.

Liz: CARLYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carly comes in on the run.

Carly: Liz, what's wrong?

Liz: It hurts she cries.

Carly: What hurts? Tell me it's important.

Liz: Carly, I think I am in labor.

Carly: Ok Lets call Jase and get Johnny to bring the Limo around. She runs to the door. Johnny can you bring the Limo around Liz is in labor.

Johnny: Sure Mrs. Corinthos no problem. He leaves. Carly grabs her cell and dials Jase's number.

Carly: Jase, Liz just went into Labor, I am having Johnny bring the car around now. We will meet you at the hospital. Bring Sonny with you. She then calls Erika's cell to leave a message since Erika is due in anytime. Come on Liz, lets go. Johnny should be here by now with the limo she grabs the bag out of the closet by the door and helps Liz to the elevator. Just as they reach the elevator another contraction hits Liz.

Liz: OWWW Carly, I don't want to do this anymore. It hurts.

Carly: Liz, sorry babe. It's going to happen even if you don't want it to. She talks calmly to Liz trying to help her through the contraction. Just then the elevator reaches them. They get in. As they descend in the elevator another contraction hits.

Liz: Carly, how can anyone willingly go through this pain. God must have been a man.

Carly: Liz, I hate to tell you this, but it's just beginning. It will get worse before it gets better.

Liz: Yeah but hopefully I will be drugged up by then. They reach the Limo.

Carly: Lets go Johnny. Jase and Sonny are meeting us there. Johnny takes off.

The Hospital 20 minutes later.

Liz is in a birthing suite as they call it. She is lying in bed in the middle of a contraction. Carly is beside her Jason is out getting more ice chips.

Liz: HE IS NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!!!

Carly grabs the damp cool cloth she has,

Carly: Liz, honey you know that's not true. Just then Jase enters.

Jase: Hey Honey, I got more Ice Chips.

Liz: GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID THIS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jase looks at Carly. He looks upset. Carly walks over to him.

Carly: Jase she doesn't mean it. She is just in so much pain right now she doesn't know what she is saying. Come sit in the chair beside her. He walks over to her as the contraction ends.

Liz: Jase, I am so sorry for saying that. It just hurts sooooo bad.

Jase: I know hun, if I could take the pain away, I would. I can't. You don't know how bad it hurts me to see you in this much pain.

Just then there is a knock on the door. Sonny sticks his head in.

Sonny: IS it safe? I brought someone that wants to see Liz.

Liz: If it's another man then no.

Erika: Well that's the first time I have been called a man but hey.

Liz: Erika, you made it.

Erika: Just got in. I got a message on my phone saying to meet you all here. I take it that the twins have decided to make their appearance a few weeks early.

Liz: Yeah, she says just as another contraction hits her. Erika walks over to her bedside.

Erika: Ok all males out of the room. Go get some coffee or something. Leave us girls to some bonding time. Jase and Sonny leave. I thought you might be able to handle some time without them around.

Carly: Yeah Jase is feeling guilty.

Erika: What's he feeling guilty about?

Liz: screams: THAT HE DID THIS TO ME AND PUT ME IN THIS MUCH PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erika: Well now, I believe that you had to be involved so this isn't his entire fault. Just then the nurse walks in.

Nurse: How are we doing right now?

Liz: IN LOTS OF PAIN!!! Just then the contraction slacks off. Is it time for the epidural yet?

Nurse: Well if you 2 ladies will excuse us for a minute I will check and find out. Carly and Erika walk out of the room. A couple minutes later the nurse walks out. Well I am going to go find the anesthesiologist it is time for the epidural. She walks down the hall to page him. Carly and Jase stand up and head back in.

Jase: Liz, when they give you the epidural, do you want me in here with you?

Liz: Yes please. I still don't know about the idea of someone shoving a needle in my spine though. She cringes.

Carly: Trust me Liz, once those drugs take effect, you will love it. Just then the anesthesiologist walks in.

Dr: You ready Mrs. Morgan.

Liz: Yes can my husband please stay in here with me?

Nurse: Sure he might be a big help too. Ok I need you to sit on the edge of the bed. Mr. Morgan if you will go stand in front of your wife and hold her arms. Mrs. Morgan if you will sit with your back strait. Hopefully starring into those beautiful eyes of your husband that might help. Liz gets to the edge of the bed just as a contraction hits.

Nurse: Ok Mrs. Morgan just breath through it. Hopefully by the time that the next one starts the epidural will be given. As the contraction passes, Jason grabs her arms.

Jase: Ok honey look at me. I know this will hurt but it will be better after that. Look me in the eyes dear. She looks up at him.

Liz: Jase, I don't know about this.

Jase: Liz, come on just look at me. Give it a few more minutes and it will be over. The anesthesiologist grabs the needle.

Jase: Ok honey, don't pay attention to them listen to my voice. I love you. This will help bring our babies into the world easier. She then feels the needle enter her back.

Liz: Jase, it hurts so bad.

Jase: Honey, just relax almost done. Hold on honey, I love you more for going through this for me. Just then the nurse looks at Liz.

Nurse: Ok dear it's over. Now you can lay back down in bed. Liz lays back down.

Jase: Honey was it that bad?

Liz: It hurt but it's fine now.

Jase: You want anyone else in here right now?

Liz: NO just you. Can you come sit on the bed with me?

Jase: How about I sit in this chair?

Liz: That's fine.

10 hours later Liz is still in labor. Jason is starting to worry because Liz is so tired.

Dr. Meadows: Let's give it a little while longer before we make any decisions. It is her first labor they tend to take longer.

Jase: But she is so tired.

Dr. Meadow's: Trust me come time to deliver she will have the adrenaline kick in and be just fine. If I thought there was any danger I wouldn't think twice about a c-section. She leaves.

Liz has now been in labor for 12 hours.

Liz: Jase, get the Dr. I think they are coming. I can feel something. Jase runs into the hall. We need Dr. Meadows in here ASAP.

Nurse: Let me check her real quick then if it's time I can page her right from the room sir. The nurse comes in to check her.

Nurse on the phone: I need Dr. Meadows paged into room 312 stat. Patient is ready to deliver.

She hangs up the phone and gets Liz ready for delivery. Ok Mr. Morgan, the best place for you to be is to get behind your wife and let her lean back onto you. He climbs behind Liz and she leans in-between his legs. Ok Mrs. Morgan, I don't want to have to use the stirrups yet so on the next contraction if you could bring your knees up to your chin and push we can start while Dr. Meadows is on her way up. Liz starts to feel another contraction.

Nurse: Ok Mr. Morgan Help your wife get into position. He does. Now Liz Push. Liz scrunches up her face and pushes. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and breath and right back at it. Liz pushes again.

Nurse: Good, now take a breather. Just then Dr. Meadow's enters the room.

Dr: How are we doing?

Nurse: The head of the first baby is right there.

Dr. Meadow's: Come on Liz, lets deliver the first one. Liz pushes again, Dr. Meadows: That's a girl I can see the head. One more push and the head will be out. Liz pushes again. We have a head. Let me clean out it's nose and throat and we can deliver the rest of the baby. She quickly does. Ok Liz, just a few more and the first one will be out. Liz pushes again. She screams as the baby's shoulders emerge. One more Liz, come on. Liz pushes again. And we have a boy. Liz lays back on Jason.

Liz: Jase did you hear that? We have a boy.

Dr. Meadows: Now let me check and see where his brother or sister is. She checks. Ok Liz, lets deliver the second baby. It's right here. Push Liz. Liz pushes. And the head comes through.

Dr. Meadows: Ok hold on just 1 minute she cleans the nose and throat out. Ok Push again Liz. This time delivering the second baby doesn't hurt as bad. After 2 more pushes the second baby is in the world. It's a girl. Congrats you guys 1 of each. Liz lays back on Jase.

Jase: Ok, I am going to get up and check out the babies. He gets out from behind Liz. He leans down. Honey, I love you so much right now. Just then the stirrups come out. The nurse puts her legs up into them. Jase goes over by the babies.

After another couple minutes Liz is lying back in the bed with her daughter in her arms and Jase is sitting in the chair with his son. As the nurse is leaving she asks if there is anything else she can do.

Liz: Yeah can you send in my brother and sister and friends out there?

Nurse: Sure but for a short visit. I want you to sleep too. Mr. Morgan if you want I can bring you in a cot to sleep on.

Jase: That's fine. I don't plan on leaving until she does.

Nurse: That's how most new dad's are. She walks out. About a minute and a half later there is a knock on the door.

Carly: Can we come in now?

Liz: Come on in gang. They all walk in.

Jase: Sonny, I have a son and a daughter.

Erika: So what did you name them?

Jase: Well we had 2 of each names picked out. Now we want your help deciding. Ok for the boy do we want Jayson Michael or do we want Brad Douglas?

Sonny: Well I like Jayson Michael best. Carly and Erika agree.

Jase: Sounds like it's decided then Jayson Michael it is.

Liz: Ok now for the girl, it will either be Emily Michelle or Makena Grace. Which one do you guys like best?

Carly: I like Makena Grace best. Sonny and Erika agree.

Liz: Ok so it's Jayson Michael and Makena Grace Morgan.

Carly: I want my new niece. I have 2 boys I don't have any girls.

Erika: I get to hug the new mommy first then.

Sonny: Give me my nephew. He takes Jayson. Maybe we could call him Jay so we don't get him confused with his daddy.

Liz: That's a good idea. Just then the nurse comes in with the paperwork.

Nurse: Ok mommy we need you to fill out the info for the Birth Certificates. Have we decided on names yet?

Liz: Yep, Makena Grace, and Jayson Michael, spelled J-A-Y-S-O-N.

Nurse great names that's all I need. I can fill the rest in. I will bring it in afterwards to get the new parents signatures. Jase and Liz nod their heads.

Liz: Well guys as much as I am enjoying the attention, I am tired.

Sonny: Lets get out of here and let the new parents be alone and bond with their babies. The crew leaves. Jase sits down holding both his children. He looks at Liz.

Jase: Liz, I love you so much more now than I ever thought possible. Thank you for making me a daddy.

Liz: Thank you for making me a mommy, and Jase, I'm sorry about being mean to you in labor.

Jase: Don't worry about it. Seeing my son and daughter born was worth it. Liz yawns. Liz, sleep now daddy needs some bonding time. Liz closes her eyes.

Jase to the babies: I am going to be the best daddy I can be. I can't promise that I won't get mad or angry but I will always love both of you and your mommy with all my heart. It took almost 5 years for mommy and I to get our act together and have you guys, but it was worth the wait. I love you all so much. He looks over and Liz is out. He stands up and lays the babies down in the plastic cribs provided by the hospital. He then lies down next to Liz and goes to sleep.
