Ok, so here's chapter 2. Hope you like it!

Chapter Two: Hospitals and Family

Matt Camden sat down at his table in the cafeteria at the New York City Medical Center near New York University, where Sarah attended night classes. But it was 12:45pm, not even close to being time for Sarah to bring the kids up for dinner so they could switch vehicles. Matt would then take the kids home with him so Sarah could go to class. Then, when Sarah got home, he would go back up to the hospital if a patient called in and was in labor. That was their typical day.

But today was by far not typical. Matt had six patients on his own right now, and five of them had not even delivered yet! His usual amount of patients per day was about 3 or 4, since he was fairly new to this part of the city, so today was especially stressful for him.

At that moment, Elisabeth, his personal assistant at the hospital, brought over his lunch. "Sorry, Dr. Camden, but they're really busy up there. I didn't mean to take forever. I got you some macaroni and cheese, a piece of pepperoni pizza, some chocolate chip cookies, a bag of Cheetos and a Coke. I hope that's all right."

"That's fine, Lisa," Matt replied. "What would I do without you?"

"I'm not-" she got cut off by Matt's pager.

"Sorry. I'll get that," Matt said. He answered it and spoke for a few minutes. "Ok, can do," he said. To Elisabeth, he said, "They need me up in room 208. Michelle's ready to deliver."

"What about your lunch?"

"Could you take it up to the break room for me and leave it so I can eat on my next break?" Matt said hurriedly.

"Of course. It'll be in the fridge," Elisabeth replied.

"Thanks. Gotta go," Matt said as he headed over to the elevator. When he finally got up to the maternity ward, he heard Michelle, his 22-year-old patient trying not to scream at her boyfriend, who was simultaneously trying to get her to look at the stuffed ducky he was holding. Matt stifled a grin as he tried not to laugh at the sight. It reminded him of his dad doing the same thing to his mom when the twins were born.

"What are you laughing at?" Michelle asked when she saw Matt.

"I'm not laughing," Matt said. "It just reminds me of my parents when my twin brothers were born."

"Was your mother about ready to kill your dad?"

"No, but the bunny was just about ready to lose his head," Matt replied as he looked at Troy, Michelle's boyfriend. Troy quickly put the ducky away. Matt nodded in approval.

"Ok, Michelle. Are you ready to see your baby?" Matt asked.

"What do you think? She's squeezing the circulation out of my hand," Troy said. He held up his bluish-purple hand.

"Ooh," Matt said sympathetically.

"Hello! I'm having a baby over here!" Michelle screamed at them.

Less than an hour later, Matt said, "It's a girl!"

Michelle held her baby and Troy proudly announced his new daughter's name. "Her name is Brookelyn Christine Asher," he told his mother, who was on the phone with him.

Matt left the room for his break. When he walked into the break room, he headed over to the fridge and took out his lunch. There was a note with it, too. As he ate, he read the note.

Matt,

Hey, baby, it's Sarah. I took the kids out shopping for their new summer stuff. We stopped by to say that dinner will be at 6:00 at the little Chinese place three blocks down from the hospital. We'll see you then.

Love, Sarah, Tommy, Zach, Morgan and Gabbey

Matt smiled as he looked at the kids' handwriting. They were all so different. Even the twins'. His pager rang at that moment. That turned out to be his final break of the day. Soon, it was time to walk down to the restaurant.

When he walked in, he saw his kids sitting at a table near the back. "Daddy's here!" Morgan exclaimed happily. The kids were already eating their dinner.

"They couldn't wait," Sarah explained. Matt smiled as he took a napkin and wiped off Gabriella's face, which had sauce from her orange chicken on it. He sat down and began to eat his own orange chicken and his chicken fried rice. He kissed Sarah after dinner.

"Let's get home, Matt. The kids want you to see their new stuff," Sarah said.

"What about class?" Matt asked.

"I'm not going. I called in sick so we could have some family time and so Liliana can have a break. I'd want one after chasing around four over- hyper children from 4 in the morning until noon and then from 8 to 11 at night."

"But the kids aren't up at four in the morning or at eleven at night."

"Still..."

"You're right."

They went back to their house. The kids showed off all of their new clothes and toys to their father, except the twins, who showed off their video game skills. They spent a nice evening together as a family. Matt wondered what it would be like to have another baby around...
