Chapter Twenty

Jessica woke up and looked around the room. She felt sore and exhausted even though she couldn't remember doing anything that made her feel so bad. As her mind started to work and her eyes focused she realised she was in a hospital room. She was hooked up to a drip and there was a vitals machine although it wasn't hooked up to her. She realised the babies weren't in the room. She moved her hand over her stomach and knew that's been delivered. She felt a scar and winced in pain. She tried to move but didn't have the strength so she reached for the call button.

A nurse walked in with a smile a few seconds later.

"How are you feeling?"

"I don't know...like crap." Jessica said. "Where are my babies? Are they alright?" She said trying to move again.

"Don't move honey, you've had a major C-Section. You'll be sore and all. The twins are just down the hall in the special baby unit. They were both small, but their lungs are developed enough for them to be able to breathe without so much machine help. You're son, has a small problem. Nothing that won't fix in time. I'll get the doctor to come by and explain everything to you later. In the meantime, would you like me to get you're husband?"

"Boyfriend." Jessica corrected.

"I'm sorry, who?"

"He isn't my husband. He's my boyfriend."

"Oh, well you're boyfriend then. Would you like me to get him?"

"No, can you call my sister Katie."

The nurse nodded and left the room. All she could think about was how her son had a small problem. What could it be? She questioned herself. But came up with nothing. She felt so tired. The nurse came back and told her that her sister was on her way. Then the doctor came in to explain everything to her.

"We did a C-Section as you've been told, and the babies are doing fine. You'll be sore for a while, but you should be able to walk by tomorrow so you can see you're twins. Now, I believe you have names for them?"

Jessica nodded. "Rebecca Jade and Randy James."

The doctor smiled. "I'll have them write that up. Now, Randy came first, and he was having some distress with his breathing. We were able to quickly change that so he won't suffer any long term effects. He does however have a small heart murmur. That can be fixed as he grows. So I wouldn't worry too much. Rebecca is fine. They both need help keeping warm and they are being fed through a tube. But other than that, you're twins should grow to be strong and healthy regardless of the earliness of their births."

"Thanks." Jessica smiled. "Can I see them?"

"Well, maybe later. You're still a little weak. I'll come back later." The doctor left and Katie came in.

"Hey sis."

"Did you see them? Are they ok?" Jesse asked.

Katie sat down. "Yeah, they're awesome. Don't worry. Eddie prayed for them. He's way religious."

"I know." Jesse smiled. "It's nice to know someone's watching over them."

"Randy's been there all night. Dave came and got him not long ago. They had a meeting with headquarters. He'll be back later."

"I don't want to see him." Jessica said.

Katie frowned. "Why?"

"Just reasons."

"Reasons you should tell me, before I go and kick him hard."

"Ceecee told me what Michelle hit on him at the bar the night I saw Dave. That doesn't bother me, we didn't even know each other then. But what bothers me is he saw us, Michelle and I talking at graduation and he didn't tell me about her. I mean, if he had I might have some understanding why she was going for me."

"That bitch. I knew something was up last night. I'll kill her."

"What? Who?"

"Casey. She was talking to someone on the phone. I don't know who, but I was listening. She was saying how you were in hospital and maybe you'd lose the babies. That way Randy would leave you and give her a clear shot. She's stirring shit because she has a thing for Randy. I'll kill her."

"Ceecee said that?" Jessica said feeling very hurt.

"Yeah..I'm sorry."

"But sh..she's my best friend. We've been friends forever."

"I wouldn't lie."

"I know." Jessica nodded as she felt the tears.

"Let me handle her. I'll be back later. Eddie's coming by too."

"Don't get into trouble." Jessica said hugging her sister.

"I won't." Katie said leaving the hospital with one person in her sight.

When Katie found Casey she was talking to Lucy back at Jessica and Randy's house. Katie walked over and pushed her.

"What was that for?" Casey asked.

"You know what bitch, you fucked with my sister once before and now you went too far. You don't ever EVER tell me you had nothing to do with her early labour. I heard you last night talking. You want Randy huh? Well, lets see you get through me to get to him."

"You heard that? You shouldn't have been listening."

"Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't have been doing. You're a two faced whore Casey and Jessica knows all about it."

"She believed you?" Casey asked looking worried.

"Yes, I'm her sister. Of course she believes me. She knows I don't lie about shit like this. Now, lets do something about it." Katie said pushing Ceecee again.

"I'm not going to fight you." Casey said walking away.

Katie jumped in front of her. "You might not fight. But I'm gonna." She said punching Casey in the face.

Lucy screamed and John came out to break them up.

"Do you think Jessica would want this?" He asked Katie since she was the one punching.

"Yeah, I just saw her. That bitch made Jessica have early labour on purpose because she thought it would make Jess lose the babies and then she'd have a shot at Randy."

"Is this true?" John asked Casey.

She didn't say anything which made John nod his head. "I'm disgusted at you're attitude towards someone you claim to be best friends with. I think you better leave before Randy comes home and finds all this out."

Casey got up and Katie tried to get at her again but John blocked her.

"John let me kick her ass." Katie protested.

"No, move in my house now." John said pointing in the direction of his door. Katie rolled her eyes and went inside to wait for Randy to get home. Boy did he miss alot today.
