Hey all my story fans. With this next chapter I hope to get more reviews. So please R and R! This chapter contains season two spoilers… so if you haven't seen the ending episodes, debate on reading. I am certainly proud of this chapter. I'm a big one on writing fluff.
Keely and Phil decided to keep the babies names a secret until the babies arrived. They had told Mandy that they had conceived earlier, and that the babies were due any day now. She was on the next flight home from Chicago. Phil told his parents about the futuristic mix-up and that made them all the more excited. Phil was working from home until the babies were born, and than he was taking a one week absence for Keely.
Phil walked out of his office and silently down the stairs to the front hall. He tiptoed into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water, a loaf of wonder bread, a slice of American cheese, ham from the deli, and a bottle of Hellmann's Mayonnaise. He heard someone move in the living. Oh please tell me I haven't woken up Keely. He thought morosely. He pulled a knife from the utensils draw and walked over to the table. He dropped everything down on the kitchen table noiselessly, but when he tried to pull out two slices of bread from the bag, his elbow hit the knife and it went soaring onto the floor.
"Oh shit," Phil yelled quietly.
"Phil, I'm already awake." Keely called from the couch. She pushed herself off the edge and walked slowly into the kitchen. "You didn't wake me, I was already awake." Phil put down the slices of bread and wrapped his arms firmly around Keely. She rested her chin on his shoulder. "No wonder I'm so big!" Keely said suddenly.
"What?"
"If I was really six months pregnant right now, even with twins, I would be so much smaller. It kind of makes me happy."
"So you're happy that we won't have fat kids." Phil said jokingly.
"Ha ha no, I'm more happy that our kids won't have abnormally large heads." Keely laughed quietly. "I don't feel good." She whined.
"What kind of, not feeling good?" Phil asked placing the back of his hand on Keely's forehead.
"I'm just so tired; I can't sleep because the babies won't let me lie down." She moaned and sat down at one of the kitchen chairs. Phil picked up where he left off with his sandwich.
"You want one?" He said holding up the loaf of bread. She pondered for a moment, and then shook her head. They sat in silence until Phil finished making his ham and cheese sandwich. He pushed the waste to the end of the table and sat down next to his wife. She laid her head down on the table and looked up at Phil as he ate. He saw her looking at him so he grabbed her hand and held it.
"Phil, I have a baby related question." She piped up.
"Shoot," Phil said with his mouth full.
Her cheeks turned red as she prepared her self. Phil squeezed her hand for encouragement. "Are we going to breast feed, or do the formula thing?"
"You'll breast feed for sure." He said as he finished his last piece of sandwich.
Keely lifted her head. She was very surprised at Phil's comment. "Are you sure, because that would mean that they would be with me for the most of the time, and that wouldn't be fair to you."
"I don't care about the less spent time with my children. I just want them to be happy and healthy. Did you know that babies who drink breast milk over a formula are less likely to get diseases and infections?" He asked.
"No I didn't know that." She said laughing. "Where'd you learn that?"
"You remember that day the doctor tested me for potential STD's that I might have passed onto the baby?" Keely nodded. "Well somehow we got talking about formula verses breast."
"Dun Dun Dun," Keely joked. She laid her head back on the table. "Ugh, I want to lie down." She groaned again. Phil leaned over and kissed her forehead. He cleaned up his mess quickly so he could sit back down.
"Do you think anyone expects me to be doing work right now?" Phil asked.
Keely shook her head. "No considering the fact that not even I have any idea what you do for your job."
"I'm a head CEO for Philip Morse and I design tracings for new electrical equipment and then I help make them." Phil stated proudly. "I make a lot of money." He said gloating.
"Hey, I make just as much money as you do." Keely said angrily.
"Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't fired you yet because of your absence." Phil said smartly.
"Ha ha, very funny Phil." She said folding her arms in her lap with her head still on the table. "They didn't fire Rebecca on Full House because of her pregnancy, and they won't fire me."
"Yeah, but they didn't fire Rebecca because her brother in law was her co host."
"Okay, that was the last straw Diffy." Keely said lifting her head up. She stood up and plopped her self down on Phil's lap. He pretended to be in pain until Keely smacked his arm, hard. Phil kissed her cheek and allowed Keely to lean back into him.
"You know that's not fair, right?" Phil said stroking his wife's shirted stomach.
Keely placed her hand on top of Phil's as he moved it up and around her stomach. "What's not fair?" She said, hoping that he wouldn't bring up the breastfeeding thing again.
"We have the same last name now. I can't call you Teslow anymore." Phil continued rubbing her stomach, even when he felt one of the babies kick. "We should get a divorce so I can call you Teslow again." He said jokingly. But Phil should have known better than to say something like that to a woman whose hormones were being over produced every minute. Keely got off his lap and stood with her back to Phil for a second. He looked at her confused. It was only until she turned around that Phil could see she was crying.
"I don't want to get a divorce." Keely sobbed. Phil stood up to hold her. "I love you, with all my heart." She cried harder and Phil rubbed circles into her back.
"Keel," He said while holding her. Her stomach was in the way, but he didn't care. "I was just kidding. You know I love you with all my heart and I would never, and will never divorce you." Phil kissed her face repetitively.
"I know," Keely lead him over towards the living room so she could sit down on the couch. "Just don't scare me like that again, okay." She said angrily. Phil nodded and helped her sit down. Keely leaned in and kissed Phil square on the lips. He lied down across the couch with his head on one of the arm rests and Keely laid her self on her right side on top of Phil and waited for the babies to make a fuss, but surprisingly, they didn't. She rested her head down on Phil's chest and smiled as he placed his chin on top of her head. He wrapped his arms around her and let his hands fall on her hip. Her extra weight wasn't bothering him at all.
About two hours latter Mandy Teslow used her key to get into the junior Diffy's house. She had just gotten back from Chicago and was very excited about seeing her daughter and son in law. She had the most perfect gift for Keely, and she couldn't wait to give it to her. The second she entered the house she saw Phil and Keely asleep on the couch. They look so adorable together. She thought happily. Due to the couple's siesta, she decided to go into the kitchen and make her self something to drink. About twenty minutes later Phil stirred when he heard something fall in the kitchen.
It couldn't be a burglar. Phil thought. The drive way is too long and we're too far away from any other houses. He cringed as he felt eyes on him. He opened his eyes and saw Mandy standing in the door way. A wave of relief swept over him as she smiled. The babies must have felt his tension, because soon enough Keely turned over and saw her mom standing in the door way.
"Mom," She yelped. "Oh my God, I haven't seen you in forever." Tears streamed down her face as she hobbled over toward her mother. "I missed you so much."
"Oh Keel," Mandy said taking a step forward and embracing her daughter. "Honey you look beautiful."
Keely pulled away and whipped her eyes. "No I don't, are you kidding me? I look like a whale."
"Well you look like a very beautiful whale." Mandy joked. She could see that Keely didn't like the joke, so she moved onto the gift. "Keely," Mandy said while leading her daughter over to the couch next to her husband. "I told Phil about this, and he thought it was a fantastic idea. Oh, I've missed you so much, and I'm so glad these babies are coming earlier." Keely glanced at Phil whose eyes were on his mother in law. Mandy reached over toward the side of the couch. She pulled up a plastic bag with something inside. She handed the bag to Keely who let it sit on her lap for moments while she glanced at it.
"What is it?" She asked while she took a long velvet box from the bag. "Oh my word." Keely pulled open the box and stared dumbfound at the gift.
It was a pure gold heart shaped locket with Keely written in manuscript cursive across the front. She opened it up, but their was nothing inside except for little tiny picture papers. She closed the locket and flipped it so that the back was facing her. The back said Phil.
"You can put the babies' first pictures in the locket. There are also more picture paper in the locket so if you and Phil ever decide to have more kids, you'll have enough room." Keely looked up at her mom in awe.
"Mom, this is wonderful." Her mother stood up to hug her daughter around the neck. "I can't wait until the babies are born so I can put their pictures in here." Mandy pulled away so that Keely could get to Phil.
"I told your mom you would like it." Phil grinned and pulled Keely onto his lap. Keely kissed Phil with all her might. He smiled into her mouth then pulled away.
"Alright you two, are you going to your parents house for dinner tonight?" Mandy asked Phil.
"Um, I believe we are!" Phil said blushing.
"Yeah mom, so we'll see you there tonight." Keely said trying to get her mom out of the house nicely. Keely stood up and wrapped her arms around her mother. "Thank you for the beautiful gift mom, I'm so glad you're back in time." Mandy smiled. "I wouldn't be able to do anything without you."
"Muffin that means so much that you would say that to me." Mandy pulled away and kissed Keely's cheek. "I'll see you tonight. Bye you two." She waved and exited the house leaving Phil and Keely once again alone.
Keely sat back on the couch next to Phil. She rested her head on his shoulder and smiled. "Phil Diffy, you are the most amazing boy I have ever met."
"I remember the Christmas you told me that." Phil answered.
"A lot happened back in high school." Keely replied.
"Do you remember when we became a couple?" He asked her, forgetting what this question would lead to. He took the locket and clipped it around Keely's neck. She smiled and blushed proudly.
Keely laughed in thought of it.
Keely: And the cutest couple is Phil Diffy and Keely Teslow… What the? And today's lunch is… Keely Teslow and Phil Diffy…What? Stop the announcements.
Keely and Phil:
Cutest Couple?
Keely
Teslow: We do kind of hang out a
lot... together.
Phil
Diffy: Yeah. I guess someone could...
mistakenly... think we're one of... those things
Keely
Teslow: Yes yes, they defiantly
could... mistakenly
Phil
Diffy: Unless... do you want to be a
couple?
Keely
Teslow: No!
Phil
Diffy: No...
Keely
Teslow: Do you?
Phil
Diffy: No...
Keely
Teslow: Yes!
Phil
Diffy: Yes?
Keely
Teslow: I do!
Phil
Diffy: Me too!
Keely
Teslow: Yay, we're a couple!
Phil
Diffy: Shh!
Keely
Teslow: Phil, the whole school just
voted us cutest couple. I think they know.
"That was hysterical." Phil moved and made Keely sit between his legs. She laid her head back on his stomach and began to ramble. "We became a couple, and then you were going to leave me. I chased your RV/ time machine down the street, in heels, but I thought I was too late. Then you came back for Curtis, and we had our first kiss. Than you left me again."
They were silent for a while. Phil hated this topic. It came up over and over again. It was like Keely was trying not to forget. Phil moved Keely farther on top of his body so that her head was resting above his heart. "I love you." He whispered in her ear, but Keely was too pushed back in the past to pay attention.
"I was so afraid I would never see you again, Phil. I loved you, and I was fifteen, and it scared me. Please don't ever leave me. You should have seen me sitting there on that hill when I saw you fly away. Phil, don't you ever leave me, okay?" Keely was sobbing so hard it made Phil speechless. If Keely had not been pregnant at the time, this conversation would have only been slightly less dramatic. Phil had never seen Keely in this state. She was shaking and crying and Phil couldn't do anything but hold her and tell her that everything would be okay.
Keely started to calm down, but picked up and started crying and shaking harder. Phil couldn't help but feel afraid. "Keely please stop, you're scaring me." Keely tried to stop crying, but couldn't. She frightened her self and then started to cry harder. Phil got out from underneath Keely and kneeled on the floor by her head. He kissed her forehead over and over again until her crying subsided and she was taking normal breaths again. He placed himself carefully over his wife's pregnant body and held her close to him.
"I'm sorry I scared you." Keely said breathlessly. Phil smiled and pushed stray hair off her face.
"Yeah, just don't do that again, okay?" Phil said softly. Keely nodded and grabbed Phil around the neck.
"I promise, if you promise." Keely said quietly.
"If I promise what?" Phil asked confused.
"If you promise that you'll never leave me." Keely said gazing into Phil's deep hazel eyes.
"Keels, we've been through this a thousand times. I'm never going to leave you." Phil stated matter of factly.
"Phil," Keely said harshly and quietly. "Promise?"
"Keely Teslow Diffy, I promise that under any circumstance will I leave you and our children. I love you with all my heart and I always will. I know how much it hurt when I left you the first time. That's why when I came back I told my parents that I was never leaving again. I couldn't leave because of you, and we came back because of you. I love you and I'm never leaving." Phil pulled Keely into a long passionate kiss.
"Thank you," Keely said while pulling away slowly. "And I promise that I'll never pull an attack like that again, I think." Keely laughed and kissed Phil quickly on the cheek. "I love you." Keely said locking eyes with Phil.
"I love you too." Phil paused. "I think that the too at the end of I love you too, is over rated. It's like a come back for when there's no other way to say I love you to someone who just said it to you. Does that make any sense?"
Keely shook her head and wrinkled her nose. "No, but I don't care. When are we going to your parent's house for dinner?"
"Um, were leaving at six fifteen for six thirty." Phil looked at the cable clock. "So that gives you three hours to sleep before we have to get ready."
Phil got off of Keely and stood next to her. "Wait, are you going back work?" She asked.
"No" Phil shook his head. "I'm waiting for you to stand up so I can carry you to our bed room."
"Oh," Keely nodded and stood up in front of Phil. "Just, don't carry me, guide me." She directed. Phil obliged and got in back of his wife. He put his hands on her hips and became her back support as she walked up stairs. "Basement, one, two, three, attic," Keely said softly.
"Ha. Very funny, let's make fun of the house that both of us work very hard to have." Phil said with a hint of sarcasm.
Keely walked on her own when they got on a main floor. "No, I love the house, hell, I helped pick it out, it's just very big, for a pregnant woman." Phil laughed and entered his and Keely's bed room. He watched as Keely got under the covers of their king size bed. He closed the blinds, and then joined her. He was lying on his back with his head up on the pillow when Keely moved over and laid her head between his shoulder and neck.
"Here," Phil said moving Keely's body closer to his. "You don't have to be so distant." Keely took a breath held Phil strongly.
"I just don't want my big ass stomach in the way." Keely joked. Phil kissed her forehead and then relaxed.
"Your stomachs not in the way Keel." They sat in silence for minutes while Keely shifted uncomfortably. Phil held her while she tried to find a comfortable position. She settled back down angrily. Phil knew exactly what to say to her to make her relax again.
"You mean so much to me." Phil said gripping her waist. "I changed everything just so I could be with you."
"And nothing tops that." Keely said thinking back to what she had said after Phil kissed her for the first time.
"I love you." Phil said as he and Keely fell asleep in each others arms.
Later, Phil woke up feeling as if something was wrong. He opened up his eyes and noticed that Keely was missing. He sprung up into a sitting position upon seeing Keely pacing in front of the bed.
"This was supposed to be your nap, not mine." Phil said grabbing Keely's hand and pulling her on the bed next to him. She was fully dressed and showered and ready to go. "You're already to go. Was it the babies preventing you from lying down?" He asked.
She shook her head. "My back just hurts really bad," She pointed to her lower back. "Right here," She said rubbing her back.
"Here, let me see if I can fix it." Phil said sitting Keely between his leg. He started to massage her back until she pulled away.
"It's fine, go get ready. I'll wait in the nursery for you." Phil kissed her cheek and walked off toward the bathroom. Keely took a glance at the room before walking across the hall to the nursery. She almost cried every time she walked into the room. It would be any day now that their would be two little babies in this room, for the most part. Phil's mother had bought two bassinets for Keely. Their was one for upstairs and one for down stairs, but now each baby had their own. That was Keely could bring the babies anywhere in the house with her.
Keely went and kneeled in front of the closet. Everything was organized perfectly. Not one baby had the same anything. Keely was very big on individuality. She looked up at the wall where the Page and Madison wooden name stencils hung. She grabbed them and held them and placed them on the floor. She sat down next to them and played with each one in her hands. She winced again as pain shot through her lower abdomen. The pain subsided and she stood up. Surly she wasn't in labor. She took the wooden names and walked back into her bedroom.
Keely sat on the bed and waited for Phil to finish getting ready. Pain shot through her back once more time before Phil came out ready to go. "Hey uh, Phil," Keely said quietly. Phil made eye contact with her. "I think we might want to bring my hospital bag with us to dinner."
Phil looked at her with confusion. "Do you think you're in labor?" He asked grabbing her hand and picking up her packed bag from the floor.
She smiled. "I think I might be." Phil smiled back and kissed his wife. "I think I might have had four contractions so far, one in bed, one when I got out of the shower, one when I was in the nursery and one right before you came out of the bathroom." She winced and gripped her husbands hand hard. "And one right now, yup, I'm having these babies." She stated in pain.
Phil nodded nervously. "Okay, we have your hospital bag, my cell phone, and your cell phone?" He asked Keely gave Phil wide eyes and shook her head fast. "Um, the car seats are in the back of the Hummer."
Keely grabbed onto her husbands waist. "Are we going to the hospital right now?" She asked cringingly.
Phil kissed Keely's head and smiled. "I think so." Phil helped Keely walk down the stairs and out to the garage. Keely got her self into the passenger seat of the car while Phil pulled out his cell phone and called the hospital.
"Hello, Pickford Hospital, Angela speaking." A desk woman answered the phone while adding information into her computer.
"Hi, this is Phil Diffy and my wife Keely went into labor about two hours ago. Mark Deon in her doctor." Phil pulled out of the drive way and sped off toward the hospital. Was it just Keely, or did Phil look more nervous than she did.
"Alright, their will be a lady waiting for you out front with a wheelchair. She'll escort you and your wife to an available room. The maximum occupation of her waiting room is six including your wife, you, and the doctor, so choose wisely. The father is the only one allowed in the delivery room." Angela and Phil hung up the phone at the same time.
"Hey Keel," Phil grabbed Keely's hand, but kept his eyes on the road. "Who do you want in the observation room besides your mom?"
Keely squeezed Phil's hand hard as another contraction took place in her uterus. She screamed a little, but it only lasted a few seconds. She took a deep breath. "Your parents and Pim," She answered while grinding her teeth.
Phil rubbed her hand with his thumb. "If you could do without one of those people who would it be?" He asked her sincerely.
Keely looked up at Phil and breathlessly laughed. "Pim!" Phil laughed and kept driving. Phil pulled into the hospital parking lot and parked in the first parking space under patient parking. He grabbed the keys and his cell phone and shoved them in his back pocket as he ran around to help Keely out of the car. He held onto her as she hoped down from the seat. Phil picked up her bag and helped Keely over to the woman with the wheelchair.
"Hi, you must be Keely!" She said helping her down into the seat. "And you must be Phil."
"Hi, uh, nice to meet you… Clare." He said reading off her name tag.
"I'm guessing that this is your first child." Clare stated proudly.
Phil squinted his eyes. "Yeah, how'd you know?"
Clare laughed. "Because you left the car doors open." She said pointing towards their black hummer. "And because you look so young." She said placing her hand on Keely's knee. Phil blushed and ran over towards the car and shut the doors. He pulled the keys from his back pocket and pushed the lock button. He ran back over to Keely more stressed out than ever before.
Clare stepped in front of the wheelchair and locked eyes with Phil. "Follow me to your room please." Phil pushed Keely into the hospital and into the main waiting room. They followed Clare down a hall and into a back room on the left. Phil helped Keely get onto the bed just like Clare instructed.
"Alright, please put on this robe and doctor Deon will be with you in a little while." Clare left the room with a wave of her brunette hair. Phil turned his attention to Keely who was striping off her pants and shirt.
"Who knew this could all happen so fast." Phil said taking out his cell phone. "I'll call my parents house and tell them we're at the hospital, okay?" Keely nodded and pulled the robe over her head. She sat back on the bed and listened to Phil describe to their parents what was going on. When he hung up Keely grabbed his hand and pulled him over toward the bed. Phil held her body up against his. He could feel her slightly shaking. He could tell that she was trying to be strong and he was so proud of her.
"You don't have to be scared, okay?" Phil kissed the top of her head. "I'll be with you every step of the way." Keely clung onto Phil's shirt.
"I'm not afraid of the pain or what I'll have to go through, because that will all eventually become a part of the past." Keely squeezed Phil as she felt another contraction coming on. She moaned in pain as it reached the most painful part. The pain stopped and she relaxed her grip on Phil. He rubbed her back and watched as Keely pulled her hair up into a pony tail. "I'm afraid that I'll be a mad mother." She confessed.
"Keel, you are going to be the best mother in the world. Our kids are going to love you with a passion, and when their older, there will be times that they get angry at us, but they'll move on." Phil moved off the bed so she could lie down. Phil sat down in a chair by the bed and held Keely's hand. The door clicked and Phil looked up as Dr. Deon entered the room.
"Ah Keely, I just saw you yesterday, huh?" Dr. Deon shrugged. "Who knew these things could happen so quickly." The doctor smiled and looked at Keely's portfolio. "Before I check to see how much you've dilated, let me ask you a quick question about the delivery. Are you planning on having a cesarean section now that there are two babies, or are you stinking with the natural delivery?"
Keely nodded. "I want to do it naturally with no drugs."
Dr. Deon nodded. "Whatever you want Mrs. Diffy." He moved over towards Keely's feet and watched dumbfounded as her face went white.
"Uh um, I uh, think my uh, water just broke." Keely said shyly. Her face turned bright red and she felt her gown soak up with something wet.
Dr. Deon smiled. "Why don't you go into the bathroom and clean up a bit? You can put on a new robe, and then I'll see how far you've dilated." Keely nodded and hobbled off toward the bathroom within the observation room dragging Phil with her. She closed the door behind them and collapsed into Phil's arms.
"Ugh, that was so embarrassing." Phil kissed her head and helped her sit on the toilet.
"Put this one on." Phil said handing Keely a new robe. She smiled and threw off the wet robe. She slipped on the new one and grabbed onto Phil for support so she could stand up.
Keely groaned as she held onto Phil. "Not again," She said as her body was taken over by pain. She fell against Phil as her body dropped to the floor. Tears dripped down her face as she bit down hard trying to bear through the pain. She felt the pain stop and she stood up again, trembling in fear. "That was a bad one!" Keely exclaimed.
Phil helped Keely exit the bathroom and get back onto the bed. "No big deal." Dr. Deon said noticing Keely's, still, white face.
She shook her head. "It's not that, I just had a really bad contraction." She gripped Phil's hand harder; this was going to take a while.
"That's the miracle of child birth." Dr. Deon said smiling. "You go through the most amount of pain that you will ever have in your entire life, and than, you have additions to your family."
Keely grinned sarcastically. "Yeah, it sounds like a walk in the park." She glared at the doctor, but obliged when he asked her to spread apart her legs.
"This might hurt a little." He said work his way down. (Oh my lord, Meghan where are you going with this?)
Keely turned and squashed her face into Phil's shirt as she felt sharp pinches in her lower abdomen. At this rate Phil would have to be extremely lucky to even see her naked again. Phil rubbed her arms and held her close to his body.
"Alright," The doctor stood up and tossed his polyester gloves into a trash bin by the bed. "Keely, your cervix is dilated five centimeters; I think we can get you pushing at nine. You probably only have to wait nine hours at the most."
Keely and Phil gasped. "Whoa," they said in unison.
Dr. Deon laughed. "Yes Keely, you are one very lucky girl." He waved a hand at them. "I'll be back in a half an hour to cheek your progress and don't be alarmed if the contractions seemed to be getting worse and worse." He left the room with a flick of the wrist.
"So that's eleven hours of labor." Phil gloated. "Not bad Keels."
Keely smiled. "I know, you're always hearing about those three day laboring periods. That would suck big time."
Phil laughed. "Our parents should be here any minute now." Keely nodded and Phil continued. "Are you okay with the fact that I'll be the only one in the delivery room with you?"
Keely nodded. "As long as I have you, I'm fine." Keely moved over on the bed so Phil could sit close to her. Phil sat down and leaned back a bit. Keely placed her head on his chest and listened to his beating heart. She was once again consumed with pain.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow!" She said over and over again quietly. Phil rubbed her back and her neck. During mid contraction, the door cracked open and Mandy, Barb, and Lloyd walked in.
Keely waved a hand, but quickly grabbed back onto Phil in pain.
"God, and the doctor in the hall said nine hours?" Barb, Mandy and Lloyd helped Keely count through the pain.
Alright, twelve pages! You guys are so lucky! Can't wait to write more when I come back from camp! Read and Review and give me story suggestions!
