Chapter #11- Safety and News
Hospital/Clinic- (I changed the doctor's office to a clinic/hospital (but a small one) as well so patients can stay as long as they need.)
Nikolas rushed in, and Lucky was the first person he saw.
"Lucky, where's Jasmine?" Nik said worriedly.
"She's back here, come on." Lucky said as he brought Nikolas to his wife.
"Jasmine, sweetheart…" Nikolas said as he reached his wife.
"Nik…what are we going to do? What—"
"Shh...I'll tell you what we're going to do. First and foremost, we're going to get the twins checked out right now. Then we'll figure out to do about Stavros." Nikolas said, leaving no room for argument.
"Okay…" 'Jasmine' said.
"Let's see what we have here…" Liz said as she applied the gel for the ultrasound. While Liz was doing that, Lucky took Jasmine's blood pressure, and stress level.
"Well Jasmine, you and your twins are very lucky. (No pun intended.) Your twins are fine. There was no damage done that we can see right now, but we will definitely do more testing to make sure." Liz said.
"Thanks. Am I going to be discharged tonight?" Jasmine asked, not really wanting to go 'home,' but wanting to be close to her boys.
"I highly recommend that you stay overnight. More testing still has to be done, and your stress level is way too high. It's not very safe there right now. I suggest, Nikolas that you go back and get your boys. If there's a time to get out of Greece, it's now." Lucky said.
"He's right…this is a good of time as any, and if this is our only chance…" Nikolas agreed.
"But if you get the boys, Stavros will know something's up." Jasmine protested.
"He already knows something's up – he saw the makeup! Had he not, (and I'm not blaming you or the boys) – then you wouldn't be in here right now." Nikolas said, frustrated.
"So now what?..." Jasmine pondered.
No one answered her, but Lucky left the room. No one knew why.
Lucky knew this was a situation he couldn't handle on his own so he brought in a reinforcement.
A reinforcement known as Luke Spencer.
He called his dad, asking him to come to Greece so he could help some friends of his. He didn't tell Luke about Nikolas because he didn't want to drag his mother into this anymore than she already was via Stavros alone.
Luke was on the next flight out to Greece.
Elizabeth left Nik and Jasmine alone to go put the tests that she ran into the lab, and wait for the results.
While alone, Nikolas decided to carefully hold his wife in his arms.
"The boys…they feel so responsible for this. I told them it wasn't their fault – and it's not." Jasmine said.
"I told them the same thing because when I checked on them, they were still awake." Nik replied.
"I think I know what gender the twins will be. I think they'll be girls….before when I left for here, I referred to them as girls." Jasmine said with a soft smile.
"You do, do you? Well I won't mind having more girls in my life. I've always wanted a daughter – I might get two now. But I'm glad you're having them." Nikolas said, smiling as well.
"Our wedding babies." Jasmine said chuckling.
"Absolutely." Nikolas said as he lightly kissed Jasmine on her forehead.
"Besides,
2 girls would make our family complete." Nikolas said.
"How
so?" His wife asked.
"Easy, I have my princes, hopefully
you'll be having our princesses."
"But you're
the Prince, Nikolas…" Jasmine said, not sure where Nik was going
with this.
"Yes, but the boys and hopefully these girls are our gifts, our love. And you my dear, are my queen." Nikolas said as he softly, but passionately kissed his wife.
After breaking the kiss, and a few more minutes of silence, Jasmine spoke.
"I don't think I can lie to them anymore Nik. I'm this close to telling Liz & Lucky the truth. But I know the more people I tell, the more likely it'll get back to Stavros, and if that happens, I don't think I'll ever see our sons again…" Jasmine finished, trying to control her crying.
"Well, let's just wait on our plan til tomorrow ok? Go to sleep now sweetheart. Just close your eyes and think of our children. I'll be here when you wake up."
"Can we find out whether we're having boys, girls, or one of each first?" Jasmine asked.
"Sure, I'll be right back." Nik said as he stepped out of the room.
He soon returned with Elizabeth.
"Well, I'm happy to report that you will soon be the proud parents of two beautiful baby girls." Elizabeth said smiling.
Jasmine broke into a smile that Nikolas hasn't seen in a while.
Nikolas smiled right along with her. "You were right. We're having two beautiful princesses." Nikolas whispered in Jasmine's ear as he bent down and kissed her cheek.
"I'll let you get some sleep." Liz quietly said as she slipped out.
