Chapter 3

HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM

Cooper: Addison what's going on? Char is she alright? Oh my god, please don't tell me she's…(Addison cuts him off)

Addison: Cooper, she is stable for now, but it was touch and go for an hour. We thought we lost her for a minute but she is a real fighter.

Cooper: And the babies?

Addison: They are perfectly normal. Charlotte's body just went into overdrive with all the shock and didn't know how to deal with it.

Cooper sighs in relief. The thought of losing her, made him sick to his stomach. And the babies, he couldn't handle losing them when he has already started to love them.

Cooper: Can I go see her?

Addison: Only if you're very quiet and calm because she needs her rest to fight this out.

Cooper: Of course

CHARLOTTE'S HOSPITAL ROOM

Cooper enters Charlotte's hospital room and sits next to her bed, holding her hand. Charlotte is asleep so Cooper decides to just watch her because he couldn't keep his eyes off how beautiful she was and how lucky he is to have her in his life.

One hour later we see Cooper asleep in the chair snoring. Charlotte starts to wake up and starts to wonder what happened. Cooper awakens to Charlotte's soft words.

Charlotte: Coop, Coop?

Cooper: Hey Char (gives her a kiss on the lips). You had me worried for a minute.

Charlotte: The babies… (Cooper cuts her off)

Cooper: There are fine. They are little fighters like their hot momma is.

Charlotte: I can't lose them Coop. I just can't. (Starts to cry)

Cooper puts his face on top of Charlotte's stomach

Cooper: You heard Momma. Be good for her otherwise no presents for you.

Charlotte: I'm so glad you're here with me

Cooper: I wouldn't be anywhere else.

Charlotte: What about Violet?

Cooper: (Surprised) Oh with everything that's been happening, I haven't told her anything.

Charlotte: Well I need to rest because I'm rather tired. You go see Violet but can you please not mention the babies until we know for certain that they are okay?

Cooper: Char, you heard Addison before… (Charlotte cuts him off)

Charlotte: Please Coop, not a word.

Cooper looks at Charlotte and smiles. He couldn't resist that cute face of hers to disagree.

Cooper: Okay Char. I'll say nothing about the babies until you're ready.

Charlotte: Thank you.

VIOLET'S OFFICE AT OWG

Cooper: Hey Vi.

Violet runs up to Cooper for a big hug.

Violet: Cooper! How are you? How's Charlotte? Addison just told us. I'm so sorry… (Cooper cuts her off)

Cooper: Thanks. I'm coping as best as I can. I'm trying to be strong for Charlotte. What did Addison say?

Violet: If you ever want to talk about it, you always have me here okay?

Cooper: I know that Vi. So what has Addison said to you guys?

Violet: How is Charlotte feeling? Is…. (Cooper cuts her off again)

Cooper: VIOLET! Stop ignoring my question! Please, I don't need this 'playing games' act on top of what I am going through right now! Spit it out already!

Violet: Fine! Well it was Addison that told me this but I know about the twins and how Charlotte almost died.

Cooper: Who told you that?

Violet: Well I went to St Ambrose to go find Addison as I was going to ask if she saw Charlotte last night because I was worried about her.

Cooper: Okay

Violet: I'm not finished yet! Anyway, as I was walking down the hallway I heard Addison's voice yelling out, 'No time Coop! Get Help! We need the crash cart now! So I was feeling a little nosey and had a peek to see what was happening.

Cooper: Oh no! This isn't good.

Violet: Hello I'm still not finished talking yet Coop!

Cooper: Sorry keep going

Violet: As I was saying, I went to see what was happening, and then I heard Addison and Dr Harris discussing about the babies and if they would make it too. I didn't realize it was Charlotte until Addison came in this morning looking like a wreck and telling us 'that Charlotte almost died but is stable now'.

Cooper: You finished yet?

Violet: I'm afraid so.

Cooper sighs in relief that he can talk to someone about charlotte and the babies but he still not sure on how to break the news to Charlotte yet.

Cooper: I'm glad you know Vi, but Charlotte is going to hate and blame me for this, you know that right?

Violet: Isn't she happy about the babies?

Cooper: No that's not what I meant. I mean she told me not to tell you or anyone for that matter, and now that you know she will assume that I was the one that told you.

Violet: I promise I won't tell anyone. I swear!

Cooper: Since when can you keep a secret? You're the gossip queen with a big mouth!

Violet: But Charlotte scares me so trust me I won't

Cooper: Yeah she can be scary sometimes. Like when I go to the toilet and leave the seat up afterwards by mistake, she spits out fire to me and I usually end up having to ice my jewels for a good half an hour or so.

Violet: That's Charlotte for you.

Cooper: Speaking of Charlotte, I better go back and see her. We are going to see our babies for the first time on the ultrasound machine.

Violet: That's so exciting. I remember the first time I saw Lucas. It was magical. It makes the whole thing feel more real.

Cooper: I know! I can't believe I'm growing up. I mean babies on the way, the perfect fiancée, planning my wedding, and even a new house all in a space of a year.

Violet: I know the feeling. I can't believe I am married to Pete and have a son like Lucas. They are my life. I never thought I could be this happy.

Cooper: I agree! The thing is that me being with Charlotte, it doesn't even scare me. It used too but now it's exciting. And I don't want it to end. (Looks at his watch). Okay I really have to go now.

Violet: Hey Coop?

Cooper: Yeah?

Violet: Give her a big hug from me and never ever tell her that I'm scared of her okay?

Cooper: Believe me I won't!
