PART 15

"Grandpa? Can I read some more?" Jack had finally gotten all of the children into bed, which meant, the two older ones downstairs on the couch that had been transformed into a sleeping bed and the twins in the guest room on the top floor.

"Yes but only for another 10 minutes Alex, ok? It's late and I want you to go to sleep"

"I promise"

"Good night Oliver"

"Night grandpa"

He stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him. His mind drifted to what had happened the whole day. The doctors had found some abnormalities but nothing very conclusive yet so they had decided to keep her over the night. Jack was worried about his daughter right now and for some kind of reason Vaughn wasn't home yet, neither was he able to reach Vaughn on his cell phone. Thus Jack had taken the boys back to his place because he had a lot of work to catch up on.

Thinking of this, he made his way down into the living room, where the twins were already sound asleep. Pacing around the place he finally made up his mind to sit down into the reading chair and get some reading done. The ringing of his cell cut his lecture a few chapters into the new book.

He was startled and hurriedly grabbed the cell as to not wake up the children.

"Hello" he whispered.

"Jack it's Vaughn, where the heck is Sydney? And where are the boys?" he almost screamed at his father-in-law.

"Vaughn take it easy, first the boys are here with me" Jack could hear Vaughn let out a long sigh of relieve but before he could add anything to that Jack went on "Sydney's in hospital but before you're loosing your mind, you have to know that she's ok.

"What? Why? What happened?"

"Focus Vaughn!"

"She has had some pain this late morning so I had to take her into hospital. She was fine when I was there earlier but the doctor called me again later, right before I was supposed to pick her up again. He said it would be safer for her to stay there over night. Apparently the pain had started again and they needed to have a closer look at the Braxton-Hicks contractions since they were coming more frequently."

"Oh my god is the baby ok?"

"Yes so far it is. I called them again half an hour ago and the doctor said she and the baby were fine again. No contractions in the past two hours and she's asleep right now"

"I have to go see her"

"No!"

"No? What is that supposed to mean?"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way. Sydney told me that you should stay home and get a rest. She doesn't want you to worry about her. She's ok she said, just like the baby is. She also said you have to promise me to stay home and get some sleep."

"Jack I can't just sit here and pretend nothing happened but at the same time everything is ok"

"I know, I know! I want you to listen to me, for just once. I promise you that Sydney is fine, just like the boys are. The twins are sleeping and I hope the other two as well!" Vaughn felt himself smiling, as he knew what it was like to get Oliver into bed. Not an easy task at all.

"If you say so, but I know I won't get any sleep anyway"

"At least get a rest, we'll go see her first thing in the morning right after I have dropped the children at school. Is that ok with you?"

Vaughn had to think it over, thousands of things flooding his mind. But as Jack didn't get any answer he repeated himself.

"Is that ok with you?"

Vaughn was trapped between many feelings: needing to see his wife, needing to feel close to her and the baby, needing to see his boys sleep peacefully in their own beds, needing his own sleep, etc. He brushed his hand nervously through his hair while thinking it over one last time.

"Ok, I guess I'll get a rest then"

"Good decision! I'll pick you up around 8"

"Thanks Jack"

The silence of Vaughn's house was then filled with the beeping sound of the phone line that had just been cut. His back fell against the wall while his body drifted off to the ground. The only light in the house was the one from the coffee table right next to the couch. As soon as Vaughn had approached the house he felt something awkward deep within him. The dark and empty house had proofed his feelings right again.

What was he supposed to do? Go to bed and sleep? No! How was that supposed to work?
