Okay, I know that I haven't updated in a very, very long time and that this is a very short update. I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing. So hopefully I will have more soon. I want to thank everyone who keeps writing and giving me the kick in the pants that I need to keep going with this story.
The first thing on Skye's mind as she pushed her way through the drugged fog was her children. She could feel that they were no longer safely inside of her. She needed to see her children. She needed to feel them. She needed to know them. But every time that she managed to regain enough consciousness to be aware of where she was, she just couldn't push past the lethargic effects of whatever it was they used to put her out. It wasn't long before the effort to push up past this fog became too much. To Skye, these brief moments on the edge of consciousness seemed to last an eternity.
But finally, she could open her eyes and look around. After Skye took a few moments to orientate herself, she found the nurse's button and asked to see her babies. Skye could hardly contain her excitement. This was it. She was finally going to hold her babies. When the nurse brought in her son and placed him in her arms. Skye was smiling and crying at the same time. This little one was hers. He was absolutely perfect. She counted his tiny fingers and toes and gently kissed his forehead.
The nurse came in again and picked up the baby to take him back to the nursery. Skye looked at her expectantly. "I would like to see my other baby now."
The nurse looked slightly nervous. "I'm sorry miss, but there has been a small problem with the other baby. We can't bring her in right now."
"What do you mean? Why can't you bring her to me? Where is my baby?" A thousand different possibilities ran through Skye's mind. Each scenario was worse than the last. Each reason had something to do with Alcazar.
"I will get the doctor. He will explain the situation to you."
Skye began to panic. "Oh god, he broke his word, didn't he. He did something to my baby."
The nurse yelled for the doctor.
The doctor ran in with Alcazar right behind him.
"You son of a ! What the have you done with my baby." Skye yelled as she struggled to get up.
Skye was so hysterical now that the doctor called for a seditive to calm her.
Alcazar ignored the doctor and walked up to Skye. As Skye hit out at him, Alcazar scooped Skye up into his arms and strode out of the room. He held her tightly to him in order to limit her ability to hit him. That didn't stop her from trying.
"Fool woman. Stop squirming before you hurt yourself." Alcazar growled.
"Where's my baby?" Skye cried out. "You promised. You promised not to harm either of my babies."
"I didn't." Alcazar stated coldly. He suddenly stopped in front of a window. Skye felt a sharp jolt of pain around her stomach as Alcazar dropped her feet to the floor. He grabbed her chin tightly and turned her head to look through the window. "Look." Alcazar ordered. "She's right there. You're daughter is right there."
Skye squirmed for a moment to get loose until Alcazar's words began to sink in through her panic.
As she looked through the window, she saw her daughter in an incubator with tubes running in her nose.
"What's wrong? Why does she need those tubes?"
"She was having trouble breathing. The doctors have some worries about her lung development."
"Will she will be okay?"
"She has been improving. They will be removing the tubes in a couple of days if she continues to do well."
"Can I hold her?"
The doctor came to her side and said, "Maybe you can hold her latter. Right now I need to get you back to bed and check your stitches."
"Please I want to hold my baby."
"I want to examine you first. But if everything checks out, I will give permission for you to be rolled to the nursery for her next feeding."
"Doctor, I want arrangements made for the children to be moved into Skye's room as soon as the girl is well enough to be moved from the nursery." Alcazar stated.
The doctor nodded. "That can be arranged."
"The babies can stay with me?" Skye asked.
"As soon as it is safe for them to be with you. I trust that will keep you from having anymore of these episodes." Alcazar replied.
Skye nodded as Alcazar picked her up and carried her back to her room.
"Everything is going to be fine Skye. You will have your babies and I will have you. Everything else will work itself out with time."
