Ben quickly carried me through the castle and downstairs; as he held me closely he whispered sweet nothings to me to try and reassure me. Thankfully Evie had taken Ben's warning and didn't follow us; however due to my hypersensitive fairy hearing I could hear her crying down the phone to Doug.
Before I knew it Ben was now carrying me down the main staircase; and I heard Adam and Belle gasping as they saw us run past them in the main hall.
"Ben what's wrong?" I heard Adam say.
"Don't Father" Ben warned him. "Just don't!" he snapped as his eagerness to get me to the hospital. "I need to get Mal to hospital" he advised as he stood still to speak to his parents. "NOW!" he shouted.
"What's wrong with Mammy?" I heard Edward say as I snuggled my face into his chest as my stomach continued to convulse in pain.
"Edward come here" Belle called to him.
"No!" he puffed.
"Mal, Ben please?" I heard Evie's voice and I saw her start to run down the stairs and towards us.
"Mother please get the children out of here!" he snapped. "They shouldn't see this" he urged.
"Ok" I heard Belle reply. Thankfully she was able to quickly get Edward and Isabelle back into her room with her; however Adam stayed outside to monitor what was going on.
"Evie" Ben growled. "I have warned you once; don't make me do it again" he added darkly as I whimpered in his arms.
"Ben I am their mother" she replied.
"And I am Mal's husband!" he snapped back. "Something of which I believe you have very much forgotten" he urged. "Yes the twins aren't my children-" he started.
"Yes-" she started cutting him off.
"But I am involved! Whether you like it or not!" he shouted cutting her off.
"Ben" I muttered and he looked down at me.
"Baby?" he cooed.
"We need to go" I urged hoping that this would stop him and Evie having an argument.
"Ok baby" he muttered before he pressed a kiss against the top of my head. "You do not-" he warned her. "Come near that hospital" he added. "Or else!" he snapped and he spun around and quickly carried me from the main hall, before anything else could be said or done.
Ben quickly then helped me into the limousine and we slid onto the seat; I watched as Evie ran out towards us. However before she could get near the limousine Ben slammed the door shut and locked it. Dawson, mine and Ben's driver quickly pulled away and I couldn't help but sigh to be out of that situation.
"Everything will be ok my love" Ben muttered to me as he pulled me back to him.
"I hope so" I answered meekly as Ben pulled his phone out to ring Doctor Cameron to advise him we were on our way. I still couldn't believe what had just happened! I did feel guilty as I have caused this situation; but in hindsight I was trying to do best by everyone involved – something of which I would very easily do again! Evie and Doug needed to understand that even though that I was carrying their children I had my own family to look after – and I would make sure that they knew this!
When we arrived at the hospital Doctor Cameron was waiting for us with his staff and I was quickly taken into a side room away from prying eyes. When asked what had happened I quickly told him that I had felt dizzy and nauseous and I stumbled and fell. I noticed that Doctor Cameron threw a concerned look at me and Ben and we quickly looked away from him. There was no way that we could put out the story of my argument with Evie - that wasn't going to help anyone involved.
Doctor Cameron quickly ran through an extensive amount of tests to make sure both me and the twins were ok. However the only result that we were able to have straight away was when we had an emergency scan. Both me and Ben both sighed in relief when we heard that the twins were ok; I don't know how I would be able to live with myself if anything had happened to them.
After a very long and agonising wait Doctor Cameron came in and gave me and the twins the all clear. However to air on the side of the caution he wanted to keep me in overnight for observation due to my blood pressure being slightly higher than it should have been. I nodded to this; ideally I wanted to go home but I knew that I needed to follow his advice.
After Ben rang his parents to let them know what was happening me and Ben talked about what had happened today. I still had mixed feelings on it; as I had caused this situation; however Ben quickly dismissed this. He stated that there was nothing wrong with us spending time together; and he urged that he didn't want me to feel guilty of this. He then advised that he thinks that we both need to speak to Evie and Doug as we all needed to know where we stood. I hated the fact that the three of us had argued and I wanted to make things right; and I hope that we would be able to do this. I also agreed with him that boundaries need to be set in place; not just for me, Ben, Evie and Doug – but for the twins as well.
I then decided that it was time to finally put Evie out of her misery and I rang her; she quickly answered on the second ring – which told me that she had been watching her phone to find out any updates.
"Mal" she stated. "Is everything ok?" she quickly asked.
"Yes" I muttered. "The twins are fine" I advised as Ben squeezed my left hand in both of his.
"Are you ok?" she questioned and I heard her voice break, which told me that she had been crying.
"Yes" I replied. "But they are keeping me in overnight" I explained.
"Why?" she exclaimed. "I thought you said you were fine" she advised as I heard Doug ask her what was happening in the background.
"I am" I insisted. "They are just being cautious" I stated.
"I see" she noted. "Can I come to see you?" she questioned hopefully.
"Yes" I nodded. "And I think you better bring Doug" I added. "The four of us need to talk" I finished sternly.
"Yes" she answered. "I believe we do" she gulped.
"Ok" I said. "Well I guess I'll see you soon then" I advised bluntly.
"Yeah" she replied. "See you soon" she continued.
"Bye" I stated before I quickly hung up. Yes I was going to remain civil for the twin's sake but Evie had to learn she can't act the way she had done today. There was no need to shout at me or Ben, talk to us in that manner or slap me. Yes I understood why she acted the way she did – but things were going to have to change.
