I thought this was going to be the last chapter but it didn't flow very well. And I found the perfect place to end this chapter. So there will be one more short tidbit that wraps everything up and leads into the next story. But for now here are the answers to all your demands. Happy reading.

Surgery suite one

"Is the neonatal team ready?" The young doctor asked as he made the first incision into the taunt skin of the lower abdomen. He could feel his heart beating double time. Planting his feet he took a couple deep breaths to control his nerves.

"Yes sir." The circulating nurse answered as she handed him a sponge. "They're in the other room scrubbing up." She glanced through the window in the double doors to check on their progress.

"Has Dr. Ross been informed of his patient's condition?" He asked mopping the first drops of blood away. He recited the layers he had to cut through in his head.

"He's on his way in." The nurse informed him, handing him the next tool. "He should be here soon." She reassured him.

"That's a good thing." The doctor breathed.

"Vital signs are as follows. Blood pressure remains elevated, 190/110. Heart rates a little fast at 110." The anesthesiologist called from the head of the bed where he monitored the patient.

"Let's open her up." The doctor said as he burned away the layers of adipose tissue. The circulating nurse looked up as the neonatal team entered with their equipment. She smiled encouragingly at her partners.

"Almost there?" The neonatalogist asked as he approached the patient. He leaned in to look over the nurse's shoulder.

"Should be just a minute." The surgeon said parting the layers of fat. He teeth clamped on his lip as the muscles under his hand began clenching.

"She's seizing." The anesthesiologist called out. "Heart rate's up to 150."

"Give her some more sedation." The doctor called out as he turned to the circulating nurse. "Scalpel. We have to get this baby out now." He said urgently. "Where's Dr. Ross?" He whispered almost desperately.

Finding the top of the uterus he sliced a thin line to open it. Placing the scalpel back on the stand he reached for the sponge the nurse handed him, cursing when it slipped out of his blood soaked hand.

"Breathe." She instructed softly as she picked up another sponge. He nodded his thanks and mopped up the blood from the incision. Reaching his hand inside the sack he gripped the infant and gently pulled it out. He smiled widely as he cut the cord and handed the baby over to the neonatal team.

"Blood pressure is remaining high. Systolic is at 220." The anesthesiologist called out.

"Okay, lets get the placenta out. Once we do that she should level out." The doctor declared in a confident voice. "How's the little one doing?" He called to the team working behind him.

""Weight is four pounds. He's breathing on his own." The nurse called out.

"That's good news." The circulating nurse celebrated. Her smile slipped as she studied the exposed uterus. "Umm doctor." She breathed, directing his attention to the patient.

Frowning he slipped his hand through the incision he had made at the top of the uterus. Feeling around he looked up in surprise. "There was no mention of twins in her chart."

Eyes widening the nurse swung around. "Hey, get ready." She called to the other team. "We've got another one here."

The team raced around getting out extra supplies as the doctor pulled out a second infant, this one much smaller than the first. Handing it off he turned back to make sure the uterus was empty and to remove the placenta.

"How's he doing?" He called over his shoulder.

"He's breathing, but not too good." Came the strained reply. "I need a size one endotracheal tube. Stand by with the ventilator."

"How's everything going?" Dr. Ross asked as he came through the door.

The circulating nurse let out a sigh of relief. "Both babies are out." She told him, watching his reaction carefully.

"Both babies?" He asked shocked. "You do have the right patient?"

"Mrs. Levesque, diagnosed with eclampsia, who started seizing tonight." She recited laughing.

"But there was only one baby on all the ultrasounds." He said stumped. He walked over to his partner. "Where are we at?"

"Just pulled the placenta out." The younger doc said.

They looked up as a second nurse pushed open the door. "Hey, is this Mrs. Levesque?" She asked leaning into the room. "Her husband's being brought into suite 3. He's been stabbed." She informed them.

"Pressure's drooping." The anesthesiologist called out into the shocked silence. "Systolic's down to eighty."

"She's bleeding out." Dr. Ross announced as he plunged his hands into her abdomen.

Waiting room

'You didn't tell me about Steph." Jayden accused as she walked over to Dave.

He shrugged. "You had enough to deal with and there was nothing you could do anyway." He shot her a look. "I made a decision."

She grimaced. "I guess I deserve that." They sat in silence for a few minutes. "It's so sad. The entire family, all of their lives hanging in the balance.

Saying nothing he placed his hand over hers. They both turned around at the commotion near the waiting room entrance.

"Are you ready to rumble?" Dave quipped under his breath as he rose to greet the McMahons.

"Where's Steph?" Vince demanded to the room in general.

"She's in surgery." Dave explained. "They are doing a c-section." He reminded the older man.

"I know that." Vince growled. "I want to know what's happening. What's taking so long?"

Dave shook his head. "They haven't let us know anything on her or Paul."

"Let you know? They don't 'let' you know anything." Vince shouted pacing around the room. Randy scooted his legs out of the way and kept his mouth shut. "You have to demand this information. You can't let them walk all over you like this." Vince continued to rant.

Dave folded his arms over his chest. "I think if they had anything to tell us they would. We need to keep out of their way and let them do their job."

The other occupants of the room held their breath as the veins in Vince's neck began popping out. "I don't give a rat's ass what you think." He stated, moving in closer to the other man. "I…" He trailed off as Jayden stepped between them.

"Vince, I'm sure Steph wouldn't want you to cause a scene on the day your grandchild is born." She said soothingly as she tried to steer him to a chair.

"And you." He roared shaking her off his arm. "What the hell were you thinking about leading my son –in-law into danger? He should have been here with his wife."

Randy glanced up as Journey and John walked in the99 door. They stopped as a wall of tension leaped up in front of them.

John shook his head. "Why the hell do I keep walking into these situations?" He demanded, his voice carrying through the charged silence.

Journey backed up a step as Vince turned to glare at them. Tugging on her boyfriend's arm she led him to the corner Randy was sprawled in.

"I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you. Trust me you don't want to be involved in this." He murmured. They watched as Dave pulled Jayden behind him.

"Paul's a big boy and he does what he wants." He growled as his phone rang. Not bothering to look at the read out he passed it off to Jayden.

"Hello." She answered, walking a few steps away. She turned to keep an eye on the two men.

"Hey, it's Mark. Any word?" The Texan drawled.

"Not on the patients no. Vince and Dave are about to start slugging each other though." She told him.

"This is hard on everyone." Mark sighed. "Vince isn't making it any easier with his 'I'm in control of the world' attitude."

Jayden muffled a laugh. "That's a good way of putting it."

"Let me talk to him."

Jayden walked toward Vince, coming to a halt when Dave moved into her path. "Stop it." She admonished, shoving him aside. She frowned up at him when he didn't move.

"Mark want to talk to you." She called out tossing the phone to Vince.

Ten minutes later

"Levesque family." The young doctor called out as he entered the waiting room. He stepped back as a room full of people turned to him. "I'm Dr. Mirano. I was the doctor on duty when Mrs. Levesque began having complications and we were forced to perform surgery."

"Is my daughter all right?" Vince demanded roughly as the doctor paused to collect his thoughts.

"We took her into surgery and preformed the c-section." He stepped back when several large men stepped toward him. "We had to put her under heavy sedation due to the seizure activity." He said quickly.

Jayden couldn't help smiling at the look of abject terror on the young doctor's face. "Let him finished." She admonished the rest of the room.

He nodded his thanks. "After we delivered the babies and removed the placenta she began bleeding."

"You screwed up the surgery?" Vince demanded, ignoring the phone in his hand.

Dr. Mirano shook his head. "No Sir. I'm saying that during the course of the surgery your daughter experienced a complication that sometimes occurs. Especially when you take into consideration her health at the time of surgery." He explained nervously.

"And how did you fix this complication?" Vince demanded as he strutted around the room.

"The uterus had torn which is what resulted in the bleeding. There is no way to repair it and we were forced to remove it."

"She'll never be able to have any more children?" Jayden asked as she leaned against Dave.

"No, but we would have strongly discouraged her from repeating this. A second pregnancy would have killed her."

"This facility is a piece of shit. I want my daughter out of here."
Vince demanded.

Dr. Ross stepped forward. "I understand that this is a very stressful time with both your daughter and son-in-law in surgery. It's up to the patient if she wants to be transferred. And I don't think she will be making that decision. This is the only hospital in fifty miles that can care for the babies." He replied standing toe to toe with Vince.

"Babies?" Linda asked, speaking for the first time as she pushed Vince back. "There is more than one of them?"

Dr. Ross smiled. "An unexpected and very happy surprise. Your daughter delivered twins."

"How is that possible?" Randy asked.

"Well now you see, a man and a women have sex. The man's little soldiers swim up.." Journey slapped her hand over John's mouth to keep him from continuing.

"Didn't you do ultrasounds? Shouldn't you have seen that there was two?" Randy continued as he sent his friend a dirty look.

Dr. Ross shrugged. "Technology is not perfect. We were looking for one baby. I can tell you that the second one seemed to have been hiding in a corner so that even if we were looking we might not have seen him."

"Did you not knowing cause the complication Stephanie experienced during surgery?" Jayden asked.

He shook his head. "Having two babies in there did I'm sure. It would have stretched her uterus and weakened it."

"Is the second baby a boy or girl?" Journey asked.

"We delivered two little boys." The doctor replied smiling.

"They both okay?" Dave asked breaking the ensuing silence.

"Despite being almost a month and a half early the first baby was a decent weight and in good health. They have him on supplemental oxygen so he doesn't wear himself out trying to breath. He is also being tube fed. He is so small that he can't eat and breathe at the same time. He will need to stay in the NICU for a week or two, but he will be fine."

He scratched his head before continuing. "His brother will need to stay a little longer. He was smaller and probably didn't get the same amount of nutrients as his brother. He was breathing on his own, but not very well so they placed him on a ventilator. It should be temporary; to give his lungs time to develop. But he should be fine."

"Congratulations Grandpa." Dave said holding his hand out to Vince. Soon the room was filled with laughter and tears as everyone breathed sighs of relief.

Randy helped Jayden into a chair as her injuries caught up with her. "So do you get to be the godmother of both babies?" He asked her as he handed her a tissue.

"You know, we were worried about Paul dealing with one infant, now he has two." John teased. Everyone's smile slid away at the mention of the new father.

As a group they turned to the two doctors. "Paul was taken into surgery too. Have you heard anything?" Dave asked.

Dr. Ross shook his head. "They were still working on him when we come out. I do know that his kidney was okay but the knife had hit the Renal Artery. They were working to repair it but he had lost a lot of blood."

Recovery room, some time later.

"Hey you." Steph said as she noticed Paul waking up.

"What happened?" He asked groggily. He raised his hand to rub his sore throat, blinking at the sight of the IV in his hand.

"You were stabbed." She explained softly. "Don't you remember?" She asked as he sent her a confused look.

"All I remember is that punk ass kid hitting me with the bat." He moaned as he shifted his sore body. "Is Jayden okay?" He asked.

She nodded. "A little beat up but okay." She paused as she swallowed hard. "I thought you were dead. Before I even knew something was wrong I thought you were dead."

She squeezed his hand. "Then when I was in surgery I remember hearing that you had been stabbed and thinking…"

"You were in surgery?" Paul demanded cutting her off. He took in her pale face.

She nodded. "I had to have the c-section." She explained.

He closed his eyes. "I'm sorry I wasn't here." He whispered as he rubbed a hand down her face.

"You were out protecting this family and that counts just as much." She comforted him. "He's in jail."

"The baby?" He asked softly. He narrowed his eyes as he watched her bite her lip. "What's wrong?"

"There were two." She answered, watching his reaction.

"Two what?" He asked confused.

"Twins. Two little boys." She clarified rolling her eyes.

"Wow." He blinked shocked. "And they're both okay?"

"They will be."

He reached down and pulled her wheelchair closer so that he could kiss her. "Have I told you that you are the most extraordinary woman and that I love you with all my heart."
