Chapter 23: PAN!C
*Melissa is 40 weeks and Lydia is 30
Two months passed relatively well. Scott and Allison have started hanging out more and getting closer to the ways things were before a majority of the werewolf problems with her parents. Melissa and Noah were just sitting around fiddling their thumbs waiting for the impending arrival of Felicity (which should be any moment or day). Lydia and Stiles were getting last minute things they still needed for the twins. Everything was going great. That was until now.
It was three in the morning when Lydia got up to use the bathroom. No matter the time one of the twins was always sitting on her bladder. When she got back in bed the babies were awake and kicking her she was having trouble getting comfortable. She sat up and just listened at the noises around the room. She usually heard Stiles snoring, he had been stopped up for a few weeks now, however tonight he was quiet. Lydia would have probably though something of it but she was exhausted and the babies had just stopped kicking so she just went to sleep.
Lydia woke up at eight and decided to start her day. Stiles was still sleep so she left the room and walked to the kitchen. Allison and Scott were already up. Allison was making coffee and Scott was fixing cereal. "Hey Lydia. Good morning," Allison said "How'd you sleep?"
"I slept okay. Just these two making it harder," Lydia said as she rubbed circles over her 7 month pregnant belly.
They all sat down and Scott and Allison ate. Lydia wanted to wait for Stiles.
An hour later Lydia was getting worried. Stiles was almost always up by nine. Just then Scott's phone rang. Lydia got up to check on Stiles.
She could hear him breathing much, so she tried to wake him. He didn't wake she was starting to get concerned so she tried to shake him harder. She then tried calling his name. He still didn't wake. He felt his forehead. He was burning up. Lydia got out her cell phone.
"911 what's your emergency," a lady on the line asked. "My fiancé is burning up and he's not waking up,". She stayed on the phone a little longer to give them the information they needed and they told her someone was on their way.
Lydia walked out of the room with tears running down her face and a highly panicked look. "Lydia what's wrong?" Allison asked with panic in her voice.
"Stiles he's burning up and the ambulance is coming any minute," Lydia told her friend. "He would wake up. I'm so scared. I don't know what's going on,".
The ambulance go to the apartment complex and up to the room quicker than they thought it would.
"What is an ambulance doing here," Scott asked when he came out of his room he'd gone in to answer the phone.
"They're taking Stiles to the emergency room,"
He started to panic on the inside asking a bunch of questions but letting Lydia go. "Well it seems like we'll be right behind them. That was Dad he said Mom's in the hospital having the baby," They grabbed their stuff and headed out the door.
They got to the hospital probably faster than they were supposed to legally. They ran to the reception desk and said, "My mom is having a baby. Melissa Stilinski."
The nurse typed a few things into her computer, then said, she is in room 347 in the maternity ward."
Scott thanked her, before running up the stairs to the maternity ward, and not stopping till he reached room 347. He heard the shouts of his mother before he even stepped into the room, and almost didn't want to go in as he didn't want to see his mother in pain, but he knew he had to be there for his mother, and he needed to tell the sheriff about Stiles.
"Scott," Melissa said happily as she noticed her son walk into the room, "Thank goodness you're here. This idiot keeps trying to tell me stories about his days as a deputy to take my mind off the pain." The sheriff rolled his eyes. Scott smiled at his mom, but then waved for the sheriff to follow him into the hallway, where Allison was waiting.
Once they were standing outside, Scott dropped the smile as he whispered, "Stiles was just brought in about fifteen minutes ago. He was burning up, and he wasn't responding."
Noah went in to panic mode. He started asking all the regular question like when and what was going on. Scott held on to the man's shoulders. "Hey. First calm down. I don't know what's happening. Lydia rode with him. I don't even know what floor he's on,". The sheriff took a breath and ran down the hall to the reception desk. Scott watched him then turned to Allison. "Can you stay with my mom,". She nodded, and he ran to chase Noah down the hall.
"Where's my son. I need to see my son,". Noah yelled at the receptionist.
"Okay sir, calm down. What is your son's name," she asked.
"Don't tell me to calm down," Noah said still raising his voice.
Scott intervened. "His name is Mieczyslaw Stilinski,". He then turned to Noah for a second time and got him to slow down his breath again.
The receptionist looked up his name. "How do you spell that?" she asked.
Scott could see that Stiles' dad was getting worked up again. "It's M-i-e? he started.
"c-z-y-s-l-a-w," Noah finished.
"Okay he is in room 523 in the ICU unit," said the woman.
Noah calmed down, apologized and thanked the lady before he and Scott went to the room.
They found Lydia standing outside the room. "Lydia. hey," the sheriff greeted her. He looked at her. She looked uncomfortable –which was understandable because she was standing at 7 months pregnant with twins. "Why don't we go and sit down," he suggested.
"No I'm fine I don't wanna leave before they give me more news," she said her voice hoarse, it was obvious and understandable that she'd been crying.
"We won't go far and we'll tell someone so they can find you," Noah said. Lydia nodded.
"Scott, I know your concerned for your friend, but do you think you could go check on your mom," asked the sheriff. "I promise to let you know if something as soon as we do,".
He nodded then took the elevator down to the third floor.
Noah led Lydia to the waiting room on the floor.
"Hey mom." Scott said as he entered her room. She seemed calmer now than when first arrived. "How are you doing?"
"Better now. They gave me an epidural for the pain, and Allison has been keeping me busy," she said.
"That's good," he said trying to hide what was going on.
"Your mom was telling me the story of when you were born. So adorable and how mean,". Allison said as she lightly slapped his shoulder.
"Ow. What do you mean?" asked Scott.
"Your birth was a lot harder than this one. The epidermal didn't work," said Melissa.
"Sorry," Scott said more because he only have heard her due to thinking about Stiles.
"Honey are you alright?" she asked. She knew when he had something on his mind, she was after all his mother.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine," said Scott.
"Were did you and Noah go?" she asked.
"Just down the hall for a moment," said Scott.
A few hours went by and Melissa was ready to get started. They called in a nurse to get Melissa set up.
Just then Noah peaked his head in "Scott" he whispered.
Scott left the room and joined Noah and Lydia in the hall. Noah went in the room to see Melissa and left Scott and Lydia alone to talk.
"They figured out what was wrong with Stiles,".
