Stella's POV: it's been a couple weeks since Kelly's family had a surprise trip to visit us it was great having them here. I got to hang out with Katie one on one for once. Me and Kelly went to his high school reunion it was nice to see where he went to school and also meet some of his old friends and his old girlfriend, right now I am 32 1/2 weeks pregnant with the twins up until now I was feeling pretty great but now I've been feeling more and more tired each day. The older kids are at their summer camp while Greyson is taking a nap me and Kelly are hanging out watching tv

K= so how much longer until little man wakes up do you think
S= I give him about 45 more minutes
K= yes same so how have you been feeling
S= i've been feeling fine
K= are you sure Stella I noticed how you have been acting the last few days
S= all right so I've been feeling tired lately
K= figured so how about you go lay down rest as much as you can
S= I can't I have a doctors appointment here in a couple hours
K= I know but I bet if you lay down just for a little bit it will help you big-time
S= okay fine but wake me up by one since the appointment is at 1:45
K= all right I can do
S= thanks see you soon
K= all right

I go and take a little nap about an hour and a half later Kelly gets me up and I get myself ready for my appointment. About 20 minutes later we head toward my doctors appointment we arrive within 15 minutes . I sign in and we went to be called back within five minutes we are called back the nurse takes my vitals and we went on the doctor to come in ( 5 minutes later)

S= ( knocking) come in
SD= hey Stella hey Kelly how are we today
K= we are good how are you
SD= i'm doing great so are you ready to check on your babies
S= oh yes I am
SD= all right then lay back ( she does)
K= hey Dr. is it normal for Stella to be feeling tired a lot more lately
SD= oh yeah totally normal nothing to worry about
K= that's good to know
SD= here are your babies (
looks at the screen)
S= they look so big in there
SD= well they are measuring right on track they both are about 4 1/2 pounds
K= wow that's good
S= they are healthy still right
SD= oh yeah hundred percent as it looks baby a which is baby girl is feet down and baby B which is baby boy is also feet up
K= what does that mean
SD= as of this moment you will have to have a C-section
S= what if they both turn if not one of them turn can I get birth naturally like I did three times before
SD= sadly not because of your placenta previa you have to have a C-section no matter what because you could bleed out
K= how soon do you want to do the C-section doctor
SD= I say we schedule a C-section when you are about 38 weeks pregnant
S= do we have to schedule it today
SD= no you can do that in two weeks when it's your next appointment
K= all right
S= thank you doctor
SD= it's no problem everything else looks good so see you at your next appointment
K= all right see you doctor
( she leaves)

Once the doctor leaves we gather up our things and leave the room We stopped by the nurses station to schedule my next appointment and then leave, once we leave The doctors we stop and grab some food before we go and pick up the other kids from summer camp. We get home about 45 minutes later and we all start to eat about 15 minutes later we are almost done eating

S= so guys do you know who's birthday that is coming up in a couple days
LM= no I don't
SM= who is it mom
S= well guys it's dad's birthday
SG= it is when is it
K= it's tomorrow sailor
LM= wow that's cool
SG= are we going to do anything for daddy tomorrow
S= sadly we can't
SM= why not
K= well because I have to work
SG= you have to go to work on your birthday that sucks why can't you call off dad
K= well when you're in town you can't just call off work just because it's your birthday so I have to go to work sorry sailor bug
LM= oh man that sucks
S= but we will do something for him when he gets home
SM= all right mom
SG= maybe we should visit him at work tomorrow and sing him happy birthday
LM= yeah let's do that
S= we will see about that tomorrow kids
K= beside you guys got to go to summer camp tomorrow
SG= oh man that sucks
S= don't tell me you don't like summer camp you guys
SM= no mom we do
LM= it's the best
SG= I just want to see daddy tomorrow for his birthday
S= maybe if I feel good tomorrow after summer camp we will stop by for a couple hours
All= all right

We just hang out for the rest of the day, when it came time for dinner we both decided we didn't wanna cook so we ordered something which was pizza. A couple hours later all the kids cut fast and they all went to bed pretty fast so now it's just me and Kelly

S= thank god today is almost over I am beyond tired
K= did that nap you had earlier help you
S= it helped a little but not much
K= well hopefully you can get some sleep tonight
S= let's hope so since it's your birthday tomorrow is there anything you would want
K= no not really I got everything I ever wanted with you and the kids
S= oh how sweet
K= I would love maybe so sex but I can't with you being pregnant and all
S= yeah that sucks maybe once I have these two I will give you the best birthday present ever just months later
K= I can't wait so what do you think about what the doctor said today
S= about having a C-section
K= yeah so what your thoughts
S= I don't know it seems a little scary
K= of course it does
S= especially since I had the other four kids naturally
K= and without any pain meds you are a wonder woman Stella
S= Why thank you
K= you're welcome but this time around it's the safest option for you and the babies
S= yeah I guess you're right
K= well say that again I what
S= not happening so I've been thinking about something
K= you have what is it
S= well first off I love all my kids with all my heart
K= yeah same here
S= well with us losing Sutton in the complications with the twins I think I'm done having kids
K= wow you are
S= yeah we have enough kids
K= ( laughs) yes we do
S= so are you good without having anymore kids after these twins
K= yeah we got some great kids so I'm happy with the six kids we have
S= good we are content with the kids we have
K= yes we are
S= so that brings up my next thing I need to talk to you about which is I think you should get snipped
K= wait what
S= you should get a vasectomy
K= no way that's happening
S= why not
K= well first of all it hurts
S= of course it does
K= Second off why can't you have your tubes tied
S= I think it will be easier for you to get a vasectomy
K= yes it would be easier but you were the one that carried them
S= are you kidding me Kelly
K= what did I just say something wrong
S= you know what you said
K= i didn't mean it like
S= I think you did you just don't want anyone to touch your thing what's a little bit of pain compared to me giving birth to four of your kids which I did without no pains meds i'm going to go get a bath while you think about what you just said

I let Kelly along with his thoughts and go take a nice long bubble bath. I get out about 30 minutes later get myself dressed and go to bed, about 10 minutes later I feel Kelly getting into bed beside me

K= hey Stella ( doesn't answer) so first off I'm sorry
S= thank you for saying sorry
K= and second of it does make sense for me to get a vasectomy you are the one who gave birth to four wonderful kids and you did it without meds so I can handle a little bit of pain if you would like me too
S= all right thank you now let's get to bed

We fall asleep pretty fast

Kelly's pov; it's been a couple weeks since my family made a surprise trip down to visit us it was a great to have them here the kids loved when everyone comes to visit. Since I get to hang out with other people besides me and Stella. It also worked out for when they came down because it happened to be my high school reunion right when they came down, so they got to watch the kids while me and Stella had a little date night out without the kids. Right now Stella is 32 weeks pregnant with the twins yesterday she had a doctors appointment and the doctor told us some concerning news about delivery, most likely Stella will have to have a C-section to have the twins I know it for Stella was sad to have a C-section but in the end she was just happy that sounds the babies were healthy then they can be born anyway they want to. Last night me and Stella both decided it was time to stop having cats after the twins come because we have enough kids to love. But at the end of that conversation we kind of got an argument about who should be the one that gets something done when we can't have kids anymore but in the end I agree that it should be me that gets a vasectomy. Today is my birthday but I have to go to work unfortunately, I wake up and get myself ready since the weather so sleepy I decided to take the kids to the summer camp before work since I have a few. Once I drop them off I head home and grab my stuff to check on Stella and Greyson, when I walked into the house it felt strange for some reason I heard some water running in the bathroom and also heard Greyson crying so I go and check on what's going on

K= Stella babe are you okay

I starts looking around still no answer so I go and get Greyson so he can stop crying, once I pick him up I notice a trail of blood into the master bathroom so I start to freak out when I followed it my worst nightmare came true I saw stella Lane in the middle of the floor in a pool of blood so I checked to see if she has a pulse which she does so now I called 911

DIS= 911 what's your emergency
K= oh yes this is Lieutenant Kelly severide my wife is 32 weeks pregnant and I just found her on the floor in a pool of blood can you please send ambulance 61 to my address right now
DIS= yes I can't give me one moment Lieutenant ... Does she have a pulse
K= yes she does
DIS= that's good the ambulance should be there any minute
( 5 minutes later)
SB= Kelly it's Brett
K=

DIS= no problem (
they hang up )
GD= Kelly where are you
K= I am in the master bathroom
SB= oh my God Stella what happened
K= I don't know I found her like this two seconds ago
GD= let's get her in the ambo now

Gabby and Brett Loadcell up on the stretcher and into the ambulance and then we had toward med we arrive within 10 minutes

ML= Brett Dawson what do we have
SB= Stella severide 32 weeks pregnant found in a pool of blood
ML= all right trauma room for Natalie you're up
NM= hey Kelly let me check on the babies April can you..,
AS= grab the ultrasound yes Here it is
NM= all righty thanks
( take a look) oh no
K= Natalie what's going on
NM= Page the OR her placenta broke we need to do an emergency C-section
AS= Kelly come with me
K= I want to stay with Stella
AS= I know you do but you can't but you can still watch your kids Be born
K= all right
AS= follow me

April takes me to an area where I can watch our kids be born it sucks I couldn't be next to Stella when they're born I just hope both babies and Stella will be okay

K= hey April can you maybe stay
AS= of course I can

( in the OR)

NM= are we ready to have some babies
OB= yes we are
NM= all right.., here is baby a it's a girl
ON= here let's weigh her ... 4 lbs. 4 oz.
OB=all right get her to the NICU
NM= here is the second baby it's a boy
ON= let's weigh him ... he is 4 lbs. 7 oz.
OB= get them both to the NICU they are needed some extra support
K= I want to stay here Stella but I need to be with my kids
AS= how about you go be with your kids and I will stay here with Stella
K= all right thanks April
AS= it's no problem

While April stays with Stella I go to the NICU to be with the twins I watch as all the nurses and doctors take care of my babies

NN1= baby girl Stats are dropping we need to tube her
NN2= same with baby boy
ND= all right get them tube and push some meds
K= hey can someone tell me what's going on
ND= are you the dad
K= yes I am what's going on
ND= both of your kids sats i'm dropping which is normal since they were born a little prematurely but we will run some test on them to make sure they are fine
K= all right
ND= we will update you soon

They won some test on the twins as I watch the nervously, about an hour later they were stable so now I just want on news on Stella about 10 minutes later

AS= Hey Kelly
K= how is she
AS= she is stable
K= can I see her yet
AS= yes you can follow me
K= all right
AS=
(getting close to the room) so before we get in there I need to tell you that Stella is still knocked out she might not wake up for a while
K= all right thanks April
AS= it's no problem if you need anything just let me know
K= actually there is one thing you can maybe bring me some milkshakes I think that will make Stella feel better when she wakes up
AS= that's an odd request but I will get them for you any special kind of milkshakes you want
K= how about cookies and cream
AS= all right coming right up

I go into Stella's room and sit by her bed waiting on her to wake up. About 10 minutes later a pop comes back with the milkshakes about an hour later I finally start to talk to Stella

K= hey beautiful please wake up I don't know what I would do without you this family can't lose you I can't lose you The babies are fighting for their lives right now I would do anything just to see your beautiful paradise our kids don't even have a name yet now if you wake up I have a milkshake waiting for you better hurry up before they melt ( starts to cry) please Stella wake up
S=
( sleepy voice) happy birthday
K= why thank you babe
( kiss her)

Now that Stella is awake we just enjoy our peace and quiet as we wait on these about our twins
