******A few weeks later*****
"Baby! Come on, we have to get going. How is it that I'm ready and already have the twins ready before you are ready to go?" Mark yelled through his house at his wife. "I'm sorry. It took a while to find something to wear. I had to dig throuhg my closet." Maddy said coming out of their room and taking Maicey from the playpen she was in. Mark walked over to get MJ and said, "We were supposed to be there an hour ago, Mad." "I know babe but I couldn't find anything to wear I looked way to fat in all my clothes." "Madelyn Reynolds you are not fat! You are beautiful just the way you are." Mark said matter-of-factly pulling her close to him and kissing her. "Hmm, Not now babe we really have to get going." Maddy said pulling away reluctantly. "There's always when we get home. You know your mom wants to keep the twins tonight." Mark said kissing his wife one last time before walking out the door.
"Hello! Is anyone there?" Maddy said knocking on the door, "Babe I thought the dinner was supposed start an hour ago. They wouldn't eat without us, what's going on?" "I don't know hon-" Mark started but got interrupted by his comm link ringing. "Come in Mark. Mark come in." Jim's voice yelled over the comm. "Over Jim I can barely hear you. Can you lower your voice?" "Mark! You and Maddy need to get to the infirmary NOW!" "What? What happened?" Maddy said worried. "No questions just get here!" That was the last thing Jim said before the comm fell silent. Maddy and Mark exchanged a look and took off running toward the infirmary.
They burst through the door a few minutes later to their family in the waiting room and screaming coming from down the hall. "Ok can someone please tell me what's going on now?" Maddy said walking up to her father. "Well we were waiting for you guys to get to the house for dinner and Skye's water broke. We rushed her to the hospital and she was already almost fully dialated. And-" He was interrupted by another scream from Skye. "Daddy will you take Maice? I'm going to go help with Skye." Maddy asked. "Of course I can. Come here pumpkin." Jim said with his granddaughter reaching for him. Maddy laughed and handed over her daughter before walking back to the delivery room.
"Oh my god! Mads thank god you here." Josh said running over and hugging her as she walked in the room. "Joshua Shannon if you don't get back over here when I can get up you are dead!" his fiance yelled from the bed on the other side of the room. "Oh sorry sweetheart I'm right here." "How are you feeling Skye?" Maddy said walking over to the bed. "Oh you know fantastic I'm just feeling so relaxed right now I could go to sleep." Skye said, "Maddy you know how feel!" "Yeah. I do." Maddy said between laughs.
Almost 30 minutes later Maddy walked back out to the waiting room to find Jim playing with MJ on the floor and Mark blowing on Maciey's stomach making the baby laugh uncontrolably, along with her father. "Daddy, Mark, Zo you want to come meet the new addition to our little family?" "Yes!" Zoe said getting up and running to the back. Mark and Jim got up a bit slower. "Mads honey our family hasn't been little for a while." Jim said getting up and kissing his daughter's forehead as he walked by. "Hey baby. How did it go back there?" Mark asked wrapping his free arm around his wife. "As good as it could have been. You want to go see her?" "Of course I do."
As they walked into the room they saw their whole family wrapped around the bed with Skye holding her newborn daughter in her arms smiling wide. "Oh good you're still here. Mark, Maddy I would liike for you to meet Lynlea Graice Shannon." Mark ran over after handing Maice to Maddy. "I want to hold her!" Mark said excitedly as everyone laughed at him, "What? I love babies. And Maice is getting big so fast I couldn't wait for your baby to be born to have another tiny baby around." "Calm down Mark, here you go." Skye said handing her newborn to him. "Hi Lynlea I'm your Uncle Mark." When Mark looked up every pair of eyes in the room were on him. "Why is everyone staring at me?" Mark asked. "Babe I think it's time to get you home before you want to take Lynlea home." Maddy said walking over and hugging everyone before grabbing her husband's arm and pulling him out of the room.
*******2 days later********
"But baby all I wanted to do was go see her again. She's really cute and I just miss having a little tiny one around. The twins are almost 5 months old and are growing up way too fast." Mark whined. "Sweetie I know but you have to give Skye and Josh time with her. We can go see her later." Maddy told her husband. "Fine." He said defeated. "Look Mark. My parents have the twins. Let's go get dinner or something. We haven't had a date since a few weeks after the kids were born." Maddy suggested leaning her head up and kissing him. "Sounds good to me." Mark said getting up from their laying position on the couch.
"So how has work been?" Maddy asked at their private booth in the back of Boylan's. "Fine I guess. I was just mad I got called in early. I was supposed to be out 6 months to help. I feel like I just left you with no help. I'm barely home and I'm missing out on everything." Mark replied reaching over and grabbing Maddy's hand. She giggled as he caressed her hand with his thumb. "Look babe I'm fine. The twins are a handful, yes, but they aren't as bad as they could be. You-What? I'm fine I promise." Maddy said in response to look he was giving her. "Let's not talk about work or the kids." She finally said after a few minutes of silence. "Well what should we talk about then?" Mark replied. "Well how about we go home and I'll make dessert maybe we could watch a movie, or-" Maddy said smilling as she ran her hand up and down her husband's arm.
"Waitress! Check!" Mark yelled making his wife laugh. "Mrs. Shannon!" Boylan yelled as they were walking out of the bar. They stopped and turned around fast. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Reynolds. I'm still not used to that." "Oh Tom you know you can call me Maddy." "Right um, Maddy how is your brother and his new baby?" "Oh Josh and Skye are fantastic. As a matter of fact he was wondering when you were going to come by and see them and Lynlea." Maddy stated. "Lynlea that is a beautiful name. I figured Josh wouldn't want to see me after everything." "What do you mean everything? Is everything alright, Tom?" She asked putting a hand on the older man's shoulder. "Yes dear. We just had a little argument. You know how we love to press each other's buttons and we both took it a little too far." He said looking at the ground. "Oh no Tom. He was actually worried. He knew you were excited about the baby and when you didn't show up to the hospital. Why don't you come with us we are going by their house on our way home." "Well alright sweetheart. Let's go."
They got to the door and knocked. After a few muffled footsteps the door opened to reveal Josh holding a sleeping baby. "Hey Joshy." Maddy said stepping in the door. "HI Mads, Mark...Tom! You came?" Josh said excitedly stepping out onto the porch. "Yeah sorry it took so long, figured you wouldn't want to see me." Boylan said hugging Josh. "Why? Because of our fight? Oh you know I don't care about that. We push each other's buttons all the time." Josh said as they both laughed, "Why don't you ocme inside? Skye just made dinner." When they walked in the house Skye ran straight to Boylan. After she finally let him go she took her now awake daughter from her fiance. "Tom Boylan I would like you to meet Lynlea Graice Shannon." Skye said handing him her newborn daughter. "Graice?" he asked looking to Josh. "Yeah. Graice, I know how much your wife meant to you and we figured we could show you how much you mean to us by naming our daughter after her." Boylan was about to cry when Maddy spoke up, "I think we should go. Bye guys."
It didn't take long for them to get home after they said their goodbyes. Once they walked in Maddy went straught to their room to get her plex so they could watch a movie. "Babe!" Maddy yelled down the hall. "Yeah Mad? What's wrong?" he asked walking in their bedroom door. "I left my plex at Skye's after spending the morning with her. Can you go get it for me so we can watch the movie? I'm feeling a little weird I'm going to take a quick shower. I'll be out by the time you get back." she asked. "Sure sweetheart. I'll be back soon. You want me to go get you some medicine?" He asked concerned. "No. I'm fine. Just hurry back." Maddy told her husband. "Alright. I love you." He said walking out of the house. "Love you too." Maddy replied as she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
About 45 minutes later the front door opened as Mark got back home. "Maddy? I'm back. Where are you?" Mark asked, "Maddy!" He looked in the kitchen and living room still no response. He heard the water still running so he went back to their bedroom and put her plex on the bed before walking into the bathroom. "Mad? I'm back." He said walking up to the shower. She still didn't respond so he pulled the curtain back to find Maddy laying on the shower floor. "Maddy! Baby! Are you ok? Wake up!" He yelled jumpng into the shower with all his clothes still on. He began to lightly hit her cheek to try to get her too wake up. "MADDY! BABY! MADDY!" She still isn't syaing anything so he gets a towel wraps it around her and takes off running toward the infirmary, in tears and yelling at anyone that got in his way.
