Dylan and the guys came all the way to the promontory. "You're crazy I can't believe you drive like this," Steve said at Dylan's address.

"Only when I'm alone. I like to feel the wind in my face and anyway it's my Porsche, look at her. It's incredible.

The four enjoyed the sunset of fire in front of them. Together. Again.

Everyone with their lives more or less spread. Pinched by jolts and changes.

"What do you say let's go back?"

"Yes," Dylan sighed.

Brandon took his cell phone to warn that they were coming back and saw the messages of the three missed calls from a number he unfortunately didn't know. He chose to dial Kelly.

"Brandon, thank goodness."Kelly answered

'we are in the hospital. You have to run there. Brenda has contractions."

"What?"

The line was disturbed but enough for Brandon to understand the essentials."

Brandon hung up and got closer to the guys.

"Dylan we have to run to the hospital."

Brenda looked around the nurses, They all seemed fidgeted and that made her panic even more.

She wanted Dylan to be with her, he was always the one who told her, "Bren, relax"... "Bren, everything will be fine."

The pain took her back and she grabbed the side of the bed.

"This was strong, wasn't it?" The nurse smiled at her as she moved her hair from her face and hooked her to the fetal monitor.

Brenda was terrified and when she saw Kelly enter the room she held on to her.

"Still nothing?"

"yeah ," Kelly replied, "they are coming.Finally Brandon looked at his phone I couldn't be wrong," Brenda laughed and Kelly laughed too.

Kel held her hand "and until Dylan comes I'll stay with you"

Andrea and Doc Spencer came in at that moment and that made the girls feel better.

"What's going on?" Brenda asked worriedly.

"Well Bren, you're in labor, I'll give you something to stop the contractions, because it's early. After that I will administer steroids to you in the hope of accelerating lung development and giving it a better chance in case we get to childbirth," Spencer smiled at her.

"What if it doesn't work?"

Andrea was honest: "Brenda, you have to stay calm we have to try to avoid childbirth, we still need at least 5 weeks. You have to concentrate, breathe, and stay calm. We'll deal with it. We need to make children gain weight and allow them and greater lung development."

'Children?' Kelly was surprised "you mean there are two of them!"

"It was a surprise," Brenda sighed.

"Your brother will go crazy," Kelly smiled.

Brenda smiled at her.

Andrea shook her hand and began To administer under the supervision of Spencer.

"Children born at 30 weeks have a good chance Brenda. You can do it."

Andrea took a deep breath: "This should stop the contractions, if you still have them I will start steroids too." Andrea left the girls alone as Brenda watched the fetal monitor listening to her children's hearts.

"they are a boy and a girl?" Kelly asked excitedly.

"We didn't want to know, will you keep the secret?"

"Of course" Kelly smiled, stroking her hair, "now try to stay calm ,"Kelly took a hint of tear from Brenda's eyes "I'm here and I'm staying here."

Dylan's face contracted with pain mixed with nervousness. He felt a tear in his stomach. The road seemed to stretch making the goal further away. They shouldn't have to go that far. They shouldn't have to go that far. He repeated himself.

"Dylan, please slow down, maybe I'd better drive," said Brandon scared of Dylan's face but by now he wouldn't stop for anything in the world, he had put himself at the wheel and he would stay.

"Damn." Dylan said out loud as a truck stood in front of him slowing down his run.

"So we kill ourselves," David tried to say, looking at Brandon.

Dylan nailed in front of the hospital and got out of the car still on.

He ran inside the hospital.

"What room is Brenda McKay in?"

The nurses typed the name on the computer frightened by the nervousness of the man in front of them.

'Room 217'.

Dylan ran away immediately without those having time to give directions.

Brenda grabbed Kelly's hand: "Tell me when it's over." Brenda was suffering. She shook her hand the time of the contraction then let go.

Kelly followed the contraction on the monitor "it's almost over."

Andrea came in at that moment.

"I thought you gave her something to stop them" Kelly told her worried.

Andrea smiled maternally "the mechanisms of childbirth are still a mystery.. let's do everything we can. Bren, I'll give you another injection but that's all I can give you, so we'll see, there's the other set of steroids here too." Andrea squeezed Brenda's arm "we can do it but not without you" she said "you have to be brave."

"Brenda." Dylan sighed breathlessly, had run through the entire hospital in search of her room to get to which he had not listened to any information.

"You're here." Brenda smiled.

Kelly left the place taking a few steps back and Dylan took Brenda's hand.

"I'm sorry." Dylan whispered, "What's going on?"

"They're trying to stop the contractions. Andrea just gave me something and we just have to wait to see if it works."

Dylan looked at Andrea, "What if it doesn't work?"

"Let's give birth to the children."

Andrea looked at the concern in Dylan's eyes: "Let's give some time and I'll be back to you Bren." Andrea came out followed by Kelly.

"I'm scared," said Brenda.

Dylan took her in his arms, holding her tightly and kissing the top of his head. "I'm here now."

Brenda grabbed Dylan's arm as she felt another contraction, closed her eyes, held tight.

Brandon and Steve went to meet Kelly left alone in the hallway. As soon as she saw him Kelly hugged him tightly, the tension and fear enveloped her too, she started to cry in Brandon's arms.

"But where were you"

"I'm sorry," he whispered, "How's Bren?"

Kelly shook her head, "We're waiting, I guess that's all we can do."

"I probably should call my mother and dad."

Kelly nodded and Brandon picked up his cell phone to warn his own.

Andrea and Spencer managed to stop Brenda's contractions.

After a week she was still in the hospital, severely checked that she had no sources of stress or other signs of premature birth.

She had to limit her movements, she was stuck in bed. Dylan hadn't left her for a minute by entrusting Blanca to Brandon, Kelly and the Walshs.

Blanca came to visit her mother once a day. She told her about the new things she did. It was a continuous source of joy for Brenda. Blanca was talking all the time. She followed up her notebooks, told her how Grandpa Jim helped her and also Uncle Brandon and Aunt Kelly. She was doing her homework together with Sammy.

Cindy was the only change for which Dylan left Brenda but only went home for a shower and came back to the hospital.

"I hate this bed." Brenda snorted watching Dylan return to the room.

Dylan smiled at her "Look on the bright side, it's been a week, we've gained time and it's not forever.

"I have to get up." Said Brenda impatiently.

"Bren, you can just go to the bathroom and I won't let you do anything else."

Brenda looked up to the sky "it's okay then I want to go on my tour to the bathroom"

He accompanied her to the bathroom and then put her back to bed under Brenda's gaze.

"What is it?" Dylan said he could hear her eyes.

" .. Can I take another ride? ." Brenda smiled showing her teeth.

"No." Dylan shook his head laughing.

"I tried," Brenda shrugged, laughing then her gaze suddenly made it serious.

"What else is there?" Dylan asked.

"I think my waters have just broken"

"what..?"

Dylan began to get fidgeted, he pressed the call button.

'Yes?' The nurse's voice came out metal from the intercom ..

"Brenda just broke the waters"

Andrea and Spencer rushed into Brenda's room along with a couple of nurses.

Brenda nodded nervously at all directions as she looked for Dylan now relegated to a corner of the room. Brenda was prepared for caesarean section. There was no more time and there was no way to stop labor.

Dylan called Brandon.

"Hey," Brandon answered

"Brenda broke the waters," Dylan said without making it end, "it's still early Bran," Dylan said in tears, "can you call your parents?"

Brandon put the pen on the desk "I'm coming Dylan."

Kelly was in the middle of a lecture, the University security officer apologized for the trouble and handed her a note.

Professor Taylor read it quickly.

"The lesson is over guys, five minutes in advance, for next week there is a test, and it will not be easy I warn you. Have a nice weekend," she said.

Kel took the bag and quickly left the university.

They were all called in a chain and everyone found themselves in the hospital.

They waited patiently in the hallway, only Kelly was aware that they were twins. She had kept the secret even it was hard had been for her to keep it with Brandon.

Dylan was allowed to enter and stay with Brenda during the caesarean section. He sat next to her head and a drape separated them from the operating station ..

"Hei.." Dylan told her, gently stroking the side of her cheek with the back of his fingers.

Brenda nodded nervously, "Hei"

Andrea looked across "Okay Bren, here we are, they're starting the incision now, you shouldn't feel any pain just a lot of pressure. Are you okay?"

"Yes." Brenda nodded .

"Okay, courage." Spencer began the cesarean section while Andrea checked Brenda's parameters. They were endless minutes.

Suddenly they felt the first baby crying

"She's a little girl," said Andrea full of joy.

Dylan saw her emerge in the arms of the pediatrician who immediately took her away, there was the second to be born.

"And here's the prince," said Andrea. A male and a female. The story that was repeated.

The children were taken away.

"Go with them," Brenda said to a tearful Dylan.

Dylan shook his head "I want to be with you," he replied.

Brenda showed disappointment but realized that Dylan was unable to move at the time, the emotion was overwhelming him.

Brenda looked at Dylan as tears flowed down the side of his eyes. He closed them by taking the moment.

Dylan looked at the pediatricians cleaning up and treating his children. Brenda smiled, Dylan leaned down and kissed her on the lips several times.

"I love you," he told her. Brenda whispered, "I love you too." Brenda's smile was weak and pale and faded as her eyes swirled upwards and closed her eyes.

"Bren?" Dylan said softly, "Bren?" He began to shout Dylan, attracting the attention of doctors.

"Andrea?" Dylan looked at her quickly. The alarms began to sound.

Dylan was quickly got up and walked away from the hall.

"You have to go out Dylan"

"What's going on?"

Andrea was in a state of urgency "you have to go out" she shouted at him.

Dylan surrendered and went out where the enthusiastic group welcomed him.

'So?' Kelly asked with a huge smile.

"I'm a boy and a girl," Dylan said weakly.

"Twins?" Brandon was stunned but his happiness immediately went out as soon as he saw Dylan's dark look.

"What's going on?"

"Something is wrong with Brenda, she fainted, I don't know"

Cindy put her hands to her mouth in shock and collapsed sitting supported by Jim alone.

They saw the children pass inside the incubators headed to the pediatrics.

"They're fine," the pediatrician told a Dylan too desperate to listen. He just looked at the children.

"My wife?"

"The doctors are trying to do what they can, they will be out soon, I'm sure she'll be fine," the doctor smiled weakly sad at that situation.

Dylan stood against the wall with his eyes closed, his head leaning back.

Brandon tried to console him: "why don't we go to see your children, there's nothing you can do here"

Dylan looked at him hard "I don't move from here."

Kel squeezed to Brandon "let's go, Brandon, let's go see your nephews. He won't move from here"

Dylan smiled weakly at her. "You go and see the little ones. I don't want them to be alone but I'm not able to move from here. Not until I have no news from Brenda"

Brandon and Kelly headed for the nursery.

"Brenda will be fine, it's true My love?" Brandon asked his wife by actually clinging to her.

"Brenda is a tough one. She'll be fine, don't worry," Kel comforted him by holding him tight to himself.

"The kids?" Brandon suddenly remembered "we have to go get the kids"

"Donna with Felice takes care of it, "we'll stay here until we know it's all right.

Kelly kissed Brandon on the lips and consoled him with a sweet look. She loved when he relied on her.

"Let's go to your nephews. Brenda would like this, you know"

Brandon let go into his wife's arms and together they headed for pediatrics.

Andrea went out almost an hour later.

Dylan went to her with Jim and Cindy

"How is she doing?"

"It's okay. We stopped the hemorrhage. Unfortunately, the childbirths are unpredictable and the use of medicines in the past weeks has weakened clotting. But she's fine. I take her to intensive care. She should wake up in the next few hours."

Andrea smiled and Dylan smiled too.

Brenda was taken to the ward almost an hour later. Dylan was allowed to stay next to her. However, there would have been no way to drive him away.

"He looks like Bren." Kelly smiled as she brought her head closer to the boy. . "That's true," Brandon said.

"And she, she looks like Dylan. Darker, more serious," Kelly laughed, holding on to Brandon's arm.

"Twins, I can't believe it." Brandon looked at his wife who could hardly hide anything from him.

"You knew that, didn't you?"

"Ehhh" Kelly shrugged "I promised not to say anything."

"Ah good. You know... I've always wanted the twins"

Kelly smiled "and who knows..I still have a few years left"

Brandon kissed her "Would you like more children?"

"You?" Kelly asked.

Brandon smiled and squeezed her to herself "I would love... whatever comes will come, we will commit."

"Ah I think so" Kelly said then looked back at the twins "they're wonderful"

"I just wish Dylan would come and see them. It's the father"

"He will come," Kelly said, "as soon as Brenda gets better, he will come."

Brandon kissed Kelly's temple and they stayed a few more minutes.

Dylan was next to a Brenda who breathed alone but seemed not to emerge from that deep sleep she was stuck in.

" Dylan's voice broke " Brenda please comes back to me, wake up our children are waiting for you. Blanca is waiting for us. You've struggled so hard."

Brandon came in at that moment.

The fact of knowing Andrea was an advantage in terms of visits granted.

"D?"

Dylan quickly wiped the tear from his face "I don't know what to do.." he said.

Brandon put a hand on his shoulder.

"The kids are beautiful, Dylan, why don't you come to them."

Dylan shook his head "not without her."

Brandon was disappointed but understood. If it had happened to him it would probably have been the same.

"Dylan... Bren is a fighter, she will make it. And those children are a miracle. They need you."

Dylan looked at Brandon: "Brenda will get angry when she finds out I didn't go to them, but I just can't get up from here"

"I know." Brandon looked at his sister.

She went out shortly after and Dylan stood next to Brenda. He begged. They were surprised to pray, he who had never really believed in God. Especially after a life like his.

He asked God to give him another chance, and if he didn't want to do it for him then to do it for her and their children. As Dylan prayed, he felt a shook-on. Brenda's fingers moved.

"Bren?" He whispered Dylan.

She began to open her eyes.

"Oh God Bren!"

Brenda smiled.

"Hei" Dylan stroked her hair.

"Did they be born? Are they okay?"

"A male and a female" whispered Dylan "they're fine"

Brenda smiled "we did it Dylan"

He nodded his head and was crying.

"What happened?" Brenda asked.

"I don't know something went wrong, but I was too desperate to listen to the explanations."

"You lost a lot of blood" Andrea said it gently as she appeared behind their back "but I was sure you would be back"

Andrea shook her hand.

"I want to see my children"

"You're too weak Brenda I can't afford you to go to pediatrics, I'm sorry."

"Dylan?" Brenda asked in desperation.

Dylan kissed her on the lips "I'm going, I'm going to talk to the pediatrician."

Brenda smiled.

"I love you," he said.

Brenda closed her eyes, the feeling of being close to him was so beautiful.

Andrea continued with the visit. She checked Brenda's status "I think the worst is over," she told her.

Brenda smiled.

Jim and Cindy arrived shortly after.

"Blanca?" Brenda asked.

"she is with Brandon and Kelly to watch the babies"

"I would see them..." sighed Brenda who felt the pain in the breast of the milk she was riding.

Andrea felt sorry for her, she had struggled so hard.

she went up to pediatrics where she found Dylan with the pediatrician.

"Josh" said Andrea talking to the pediatrician.. "they can get off with the incubator" I'll stay with them all the time "let's go you know we can do it."

Dr. Mckenzie surrendered mainly because Dr. Carson also joined the choir.

"Come on Josh"

"And it's okay.. but maximum half an hour and the babies have to be back "

"Of course.."

Dylan entered Brenda's room.

'my love ?'

Brenda looked at him.

"How are the children?" Brenda asked worriedly.

"See it yourself," Dylan said.

The entry of the two incubators followed.

Brenda cried to see her children sleeping inside the plastic boxes. Warmed up by light. Very small.

"How are they?" Brenda asked the pediatrician.

"They're fine," he smiled.

"Hi little ones." Brenda said by sticking a hand in the hole and giving them a little caress.

Brenda was in tears watching every little line. As she had waited for that day. How long she had waited.

"Now the children have to go back up."

Brenda nodded.

Andrea gave her a caress "try to get back and I'll give you permission to go up."

"Okay," Brenda said, rearranging herself in bed.

doc Spencer came in at the time to check on Brenda but before letting out Dylan stopped both of them.

"So Mr. McKay.. these children don't have a name and as the doctor who gave birth to them I have to urge" she smiled "do you have the names?" He asked smiling.

Brenda nodded happily.

"Luke and Lee Ann McKay," Dylan said with a smile.

Doc Spencer wrote the names on the tablet.

She smiled and Dylan and Brenda smiled at her.

Dylan turned to Brenda.

"I go to the kids while the doctors will visit you"

Brenda nodded.

"Then I'll get back to you"

"Okay," she replied.

Their hands tightened. The sky was clear. Dylan looked at him from the windows of the hospital as he went to pediatrics. She saw Blanca in the hallway along with Brandon and Kelly... and with her she went to the babies.

Blanca and Dylan went hand in hand.

A new chapter in life was beginning.
