Mercedes woke every time she heard any kind of noise on the baby monitors. From the tiniest mumble to a cough and she was up checking on the kids. At around 3 am Mercedes was woken up by sniffles coming from the baby monitor. She was out of bed and down the hall before she knew it. When she walked into the room she saw both of the kids awake and Noah was crying. When she set on the edge of the bed both kids crawled into her lap and snuggled into her chest. "What's wrong NoNo are you ok?" Mercedes asked while rocking the kids back and forth. Noah looked up into her eyes with a red nose and said "I had a bad dream." She started rubbing his back and kissed his temple before saying "Mama's here now I want let any bad dreams get you." Noah looked at her with watery eyes and said "You promise?" Mercedes smiled and kissed his and Rachel's foreheads and said "I promise." Mercedes scooted back with the kids still in her lap until she was in the middle of the bed and began to rock them back to sleep. "Your not leaving are you mama?" Rachel asked as her eyes fought to stay open. "No baby now get you some more sleep." With that being said Rachel and Noah's eyes fell closed and they fell into a blissful sleep.
When Mercedes woke up she was on her back with the twin snuggled into her sides. After a few minutes of laying down holding the kids she heard a soft knock on the door. With a whispered come in Brittany came into the room and said "Hey Cedes breakfast is ready and Santana says that you have to leave by 9:30 because the doctors appointment is at 10:30." Mercedes nodded her head in acknowledgement before gently shaking the kids awake. When they began to stir she gently removed herself from in between them and went to the closet to find them something to wear. Brittany had bought them a few sets of clothes and put them up the night before. When she turned to check on the kids they were sitting up looking at her. She smiled at them as they rubbed their little eyes and said "Good morning my sleepy heads." she received some grumbles in return. She chuckled before turning back around and pulling out the kids an outfit each. She laid them down on the bed then walked over to the twins grabbed their hands and walked them down to breakfast.
When they made it to the kitchen Santana and Brittany were at the table waiting for them. Mercedes said good morning to them before getting the children situated in their seats before taking one of her own. She looked up at the table and when She saw all the food she raised her eyebrow at Santana who just shrugged. Laid out was a spread of all her favorite foods from blueberry pancakes to a fruit salad. Before they could began to say grace there was a knock on the door. Mercedes was about to get up but Santana told her to sit and she went and answered the door. When Santana came back into the kitchen following her was Tina her husband Mike and Jake. "Hold up you didn't say there was food" said Jake. When Mike also saw the food both men ran to get a plate from the cabinet so they could eat too. The kids laughed at the men's antics. Tina shook her head and said "Boys you can't live with them." Mercedes chuckled and said "But you can't live without them." When everyone was finished laughing and they were sat at the table Mike was introduced to the twins and they took to him as fast as they took to Brittany. During breakfast it was decided that they would go to the doctors, then head over to the court house.
Breakfast was full of laughter and joy. When it was over Mercedes and Jake took the twins upstairs to get them dressed and ready to go. After washing their faces and brushing their teeth Mercy took the twins to get dressed. Rachel in a pair of jeans and a green Princess and the frog shirt with her new green and white Princess Tiana shoes. Noah in his new black and green jeans and a teenage mutant ninja turtle shirt with a his new black and green ninja turtle shoes. When the kids were dressed Mercedes took them to the living room and asked Brittany could she do something to their hair while she went and got ready. When she received a yes from Britt she ran up stairs and hopped into the shower. When she was finished she went to her closet and pulled out a black business suit with a dark purple blouse and her purple stilettos. After getting dressed she put her hair up in a professional bun and went back down stairs. At the door waiting for her was Santana, Jake, Tina and the kids. Before she could say anything the kids ran to her sides and grabbed her hands. Everyone smiled while Mercedes asked "Okay so do we have everything we need?" when she received all yeses she grabbed her coat and put it on after noticing the twins were already in their coats. She grabbed each of the kids hands before she walked outside to Jake's burnt orange mustang. In the back seat sat two car seats which she buckled the kids into before hopping into the front and buckling up for the ride to the hospital. The trip was filled with the kids chatter in the background along with a few coughs coming from Noah.
When they reached the hospital Mercedes and Jake got the kids out who immediately grabbed Mercedes' hands tight and looked around in wonder. As Santana and Tina walked over to them they noticed Santana was on the phone. They waited for her to finish and when she was she said "Okay so that was Callie she said that she and Arizona are here and their just waiting on us to check in."
Calliope Torres was Santana's cousin on her moms side of the family. Growing up Callie was more like Santana's older sister. When they would visited each other they were inseparable. Santana was the first person Callie told she was bisexual and in turn Callie was the first Santana told she was a lesbian and was in love with Brittany. From when Callie found out she was pregnant, to when she was in the car accident that almost cost her and Sophia their lives, to her and Arizona's wedding to their separation Santana was there and was Callie's shoulder to lean, cry and scream on. When Santana started her second year of law school she got the best surprise because Callie, Arizona and Sophia moved to New York. Grey Sloan memorial hospital decided branch out and build another hospital but this time New York and the board all decided that they would sent Callie and Arizona to run it. Some nights when both Callie and Arizona have to work doubles or night shifts Santana, Brittany, and Mercedes babysit Sophia. Between the time Callie and Arizona had to spend together getting the hospital up and running and them having to spend time because of Sophia they rekindled their romance and get back together. They have become one big happy family with the crew in New York.
When they walked into the hospital they were welcomed by Callie who greeted everyone and waved to the twins before ushering them to the room Arizona was waiting in. When they walked in Rachel finally asked the question that had been on her mind since she saw Callie. "Mama who are they?" Mercedes smiled at her and said "This is your aunt Callie and your aunt Arizona." Rachel nodded her head in understanding while Noah scrunched up his face and said "But where are we and why are we here mama?" Mercedes looked at his confused face and said "We're at the hospital baby. Aunts Callie and Arizona are doctors. We're here to get you guys checked out and make sure your ok." the twins looked at each other still confused and Rachel said "But what's a doctor?" All the adults came to the same conclusion but Tina was the one to ask the question "Did Shelby not take you guys to see a doctor if you were sick?" both of the kids shook their heads no and Noah said "She always told us to shut up and go sit down cause we were fine." Mercedes had a look on her face that could kill. She was so pissed she had to take calming breaths just to be able to function. The other adults in the room were also sporting their own angry faces about the situation.
Arizona was the first one to snap out of her rage as soon as she heard Noah let out a cough that sounded terrible. So she looked over at the kids and put on her best 'Magic' smile and said "Well why don't we get started." The twins looked from Mercedes to Arizona and back a few times before Mercedes walked them into the room and over to the exam table. Jake Callie and Santana excused themselves out into the waiting room while Tina stood off to the side while Arizona checked out Rachel. Aside from being underweight, a little small and the bruises on her body she was ok. When Arizona asked Noah to take a deep breath she noticed that he was wheezing and short of breath so she sent him to take a few tests and an MRI of is chest to see why. She also put in orders for both of the children to have full Body CT scans just to make sure there was nothing internally wrong.
When the results came in Arizona diagnosed Noah as an asthmatic and she set him up on a Nebulizer machine to try and regulate his breathing and stop the wheezing. When his breathing treatment was finished she checked his lungs again and he was breathing better. By this time the Full Body CT Scans were back and Arizona was looking over them. Rachel's scans came back fine. However Noah's scans showed that he had broken a bone that didn't heal the best way but that it was ok and wouldn't need any surgeries in the future to fix it. After checking him out physically aside from some bruises and being under weight he was also fine. Arizona took a deep breath and readied herself for the interview she was about to put the kids through. "Hey Mercedes I know this is going to be hard for you but can you please wait in the waiting room while I ask the kids some questions?" Arizona asked while looking Mercedes straight in the eyes.
Arizona saw the separation anxiety setting in by the look on Mercedes face, so she pulled her to the side and said "Mercy I know this is hard but I need to talk to them and find out what happened. They won't be able to tell me if they see you upset. So please go out in the waiting room or take a walk and pick up Noah's inhaler." Mercedes was about to disagree when Arizona cut her off and said "I promise that everything is going to be ok. I'll be here Tina will be here and Santana will be here." After thinking about it for a minute Mercedes agreed. She walked over to the twins and said "Hey babies ok mama has to step outside for a few minutes while you talk to Aunty Arizona okay?" When she saw the look of panic on the kids face she said "Mama isn't going anywhere I'll be right outside of the door. Aunt Santana will be in here and aunt Tina will be in here too. It's all going to be okay. I promise." The kids calmed down a little but had a scared look on their faces. Rachel looked Mercedes in the eyes and said "Promise you won't leave mama?" Mercedes gave them both a kiss on the forehead and said "I promise I'll just be outside the door with Uncle Jake."
They both nodded as she began to walk out of the room. When she made it to the hallway she looked Santana right in the eyes as she told her "Take care of my babies in there. If it becomes to much you tell her to stop. Please protect them." Santana saw all the trust she was putting in so she nodded and walked into the room. After receiving the nod Mercedes stood there and watched Santana disappear into the exam room. As soon as the door shut Mercedes began to pace back and forth. Jake watched her go until he got tired of her pacing and said "Come on Merc you know that everything is ok in there. Santana, Tina, and Arizona would never do anything to hurt those children. So sit down before you wear a hole through your shoes."
Mercedes sighed and began to turn around. Mid turn she felt her self colliding with another body. When she turned around to apologize she noticed a pair of familiar green eyes staring back at her. "We have to stop meeting like this Ms Pretty." Said Mr Green eyes. Mercedes blushed and said "I'm so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." Mr. Green eyes smiled and said "That is perfectly okay with me I don't mind keeping a beautiful woman from falling." Still blushing Mercedes looked way from his penetrating gaze and giggled. They finally pulled away from each other when the heard someone clear their throat. Mercedes turned her head and noticed Jake staring at her with a questioning look. She rolled her eyes when she remembered they weren't alone and turned back around and said "I have to get going but thank you for keeping me from falling again." Mr. Green eyes smiled and said "Of course until next time Ms. Pretty." with that he walked away.
When Mercedes made it over to Jake and sat down he smirked at her and said "Spill who was that?" She shook her head and told him all about her first run in with Mr. Green eyes and then this one. Jake shook his head and said "Just be careful okay? I don't want you getting hurt and now you have my niece and nephew to worry about too. So don't make me have to give him a beat down." Mercedes rolled her eyes and said "First off I know I have my babies now I don't need a recap thank you very much. Two boy bye I can take care of myself. Three it was just a coincidence that we even saw each other again. And last I love you big head you always have my back." Jake chuckled at her rant but he smiled from ear to ear and hugged her to his chest and said "I love you too Mercy me."
Before anymore words could be exchanged the exam room door opened and the kids came running up to Mercedes with lollipops in one hand and stickers in the other. Mercedes pulled both of the kids into her arms and hugged them kissing both of their foreheads. When she looked over at Arizona she had a smile on her face but eyes told it all. They were full of sadness sorrow and down right anger. "So everything checked out. I want to see them again here in two weeks but if there's anything you know you can call and I'll be there. Make sure you pick up the inhaler and if you have any question call me or Callie. I'll see you Sunday for dinner correct?" Arizona asked Mercedes as she began to put the kids coats back on. "Of course. I will pick the inhaler up as soon as possible. Thank you so much for all of your help Arizona I appreciate it more then you know. We will definitely see you guys then I Love you guys and will call you and let you know what happens with the judge tonight." Mercedes replied as she hugged Arizona. "Okay bye have a good day and be safe y'all." Said Arizona as she began to turn to leave. Before she even made it half of a step she heard two little voices say "Bye Aunty Arizona." Smiling she turned and waved before she walked down the hallway.
With a little hand in each of her hands Mercedes turned to Santana, Tina, and Jake and said "Let's go and make sure my babies get to stay with me from here on out." With a round of smiles and nods they all began to make their way down the hallway towards the door to the pharmacy so they could pick up Noah's inhaler. When they got to the pharmacy the line wasn't long so they were pretty much in and out. After leaving the pharmacy with Noah's medicine they headed over towards the front doors. Before they reached the door Callie pulled them to the side and pretty much told them the same thing that Arizona did and she let them know that Sophia was excited about meeting her new cousins. With final goodbyes the gang walked over to their cars and got situated, before pulling out and heading off to the courthouse.
