M ok
B thank you
M Ben hold my hand
B don't worry I got you
Dr ok are you ready
M ready as I will ever be
The doctor started with nurses and other doctors around. He got twin A out quickly. And he didn't start to cry so he cut he cord and handed he to the other doctor and nurse. She weighed him he was a little over 4 pounds.
B is he ok?
Dr I am not sure yet but my guess is his lungs are not yet strong enough and that is why we didn't hear hi cry yet but don't worry the doctors are working on him and cleaning him off.
B ok
Mary was crying, Ben was still holding on to her hand
Dr let me work on getting the other one out and then we will find out what is wrong

In he hospital room they are still getting the other baby out. And twin A finally gave out a small cry but the other doctors brought him to the NICU because they are doing a better check to make sure everything is fine.
In Mary's room
Dr ok I am going to take the other one out
B ok
The doctor got him out and cut the cord and passed him to the other doctor quickly so that they could get him up the NICU fast. The doctors and nurses rush him up there
M what is wrong?
B yeah why did they rush him out so fast?
Dr well let me stitch Mary back up we will get you guys in a room and then we will come in and explain
B ok
He finished with Mary and put her back into a regular room.
B now can we see or find out what is wrong with our babies
Dr yes the other doctor is on his way down
B ok thank you
The doctor came in
Dr hi I am doctor will the one taking care of the babies
B hi what happened to them?
Dr will well twin A is just 4 pounds which is not bad and his lungs seam to be fine he did start crying after a while. But he does have a feeding tube in him so he could get stronger because he was born early.
M ok what about the other one
Dr will twin b on the other hand is much smaller he is 1.95 pounds so that is why he had to be rushed out so quickly. So we will have to wait for his lungs to get stronger and everything else and we had to give him oxygen to breathe and he also needed a tube to feed him. Because we need him to get bigger and he can't eat on his own yet.
Mary started crying when she heard this
B will he be ok?
Dr will well we will have too wait and see I have seen many babies that are this little and make it just fine.
M so why did they come out so early?
Dr will well we don't know for sure but it seamed like the smaller one was not getting enough food so it is a good thing they came out so we can help them. Because that one was hiding we coun't tell.
B so where are they now? And when can we se them?
Dr will they are both in the NICU being taken care of. Ben you could go and look at them but you won't be able to hold twin b for quite a while because he is so small and has the oxygen and tubes. And we will see how twin a is sometime tomorrow.
M why can't I go?
Dr will well one you need your rest and you will be sore for a while, and you have a cold I noticed so we don't want to get them sicker.
M ok I understand
A nurse came in
N what are their names if you have them picked out yet?
B twin A is Charlie Mathew kinkirk, and twin B is jack Benjamin kinkirk
N ok thank you
Dr will your doctor will be in to check on you in the morning if you need anything just press this button and someone will be in.
N Mr. Kinkirk are you staying
B yes
N ok I will bring some stuff down and whenever you want to go and see them just come and get me and I will show you where to go

B at the time they are all ok
C well what happened?
B well they got twin A out and he was not crying for a while but then he started to he is just 4 pounds and seams to be doing just fine. But they are feeding him with a tube and they are observing him. On the other hand twin b is not doing so well he had to be rushed to the NICU he is only 1.95 pounds and they didn't know he was that small before because he was always hiding behind his brother. So he has a feeding tube, and they put him on a respirator to help him breathe.

Jack is still having trouble breathing so he still is on the respirator and we have to get his weight up before he can go home.
B when could Charlie go home
Dr well we need to get him eating before he goes home and we still want to watch him because they are premature anything can happen.
