Not having to throw up all the time felt awesome. After a few days I was better and today exactly a week from when I'd gotten sick, I was heading back to work. I was 29 weeks pregnant now, and honestly I'd never felt better. Teo was anxious to meet his brother and sister.

"Momma, when they be here?" He asked at breakfast that morning. He currently had his mouth full of eggs

"Hopefully eight more weeks." I told him and rubbed my stomach. Teo sighed.

"I'm ready to meet them now." He whined.

"Teo, don't whine." Mark told him. Teo sighed.

"Yes daddy." He told Mark.

"I love you buddy." Mark told him and ruffled his hair.

"Daddy not the hair." Teo told him sternly. Mark laughed.

"Okay." Mark agreed. I smiled. I loved my little family, and I was excited to be expanding it. Kimberly Arianna Sloan and Trenton Daniel Sloan were going to be the perfect addition to our little family. I still wanted them to take their time getting here though. I didn't want them to be premature like Teo. Teo had come at 28 weeks. Ten weeks premature and for awhile we didn't think he would make it. His lungs were under developed and he wasn't gaining weight like he should have been. But eventually he pulled through. He was my miracle boy. George and I were so happy when we got to take him home. But George joined the Army to be a trauma surgeon, and he shipped out three weeks later. He died two months later when a bomb went off in the mobile hospital he was working in on the front lines. I had cried for weeks. During which time Teo stayed with Addison. Fifteen weeks old and I had completely stopped caring for him. After Mark showed me that there was life after George, I vowed that I would never leave Teo again. I promised him the day Addison slipped him back into my arms that I would never again forget about him or stop taking care of him. Teo grew up around Mark. He always called Mark dad even before Mark and I had gotten married. I told him when he turned three that Mark wasn't really his daddy. Teo had nodded and told me that he knew he wasn't because he looked nothing like him. I showed Teo a picture of George in his Army uniform the day he shipped out. George was holding a small bundle and smiling down at it. Teo had asked me what the bundle was and why he was smiling at it. I had smiled and told him that the bundle was him. He stared at with huge green eyes, just like George's eyes. He couldn't believe he had been that small. Then he asked me the question I knew was coming, he asked why his real daddy had left. I told him that George died fighting for our freedom. Teo had nodded and vowed he would grow up to be just like his daddy, but unlike George he wouldn't die. I had smiled and wrapped him in a hug and told him how much I hoped he would be like George.

"Cal, it's time to go to work. Earth to Callie." Mark said. I snapped out of my thoughts. I smiled at him.

"Sorry, I was thinking." I told him and stood up from my spot at the kitchen table.

"Cal, you didn't eat anything." Mark remarked worriedly.

"I'm fine Mark." I assured him. He nodded and kissed me on the cheek.

"Okay, I'm just worried. I want Kimberly and Trenton to be perfect." Mark said. I smiled.

"Me too, if something is wrong I will tell you." I promised him. He nodded.

"Okay, we really do need to go to work." Mark laughed. I smiled.

"Well come on then. Just let me run upstairs and grab my tennis shoes. You get Teo ready, I'll be down in a sec." I told him and kissed him lightly on the cheek. He smiled and nodded in agreement. I walked slowly up the flight of stairs to the second floor. I couldn't exactly sprint up stairs anymore. I was seven months pregnant after all. I went into the master bedroom and made my way over to my closet. Mark and I had decided when we'd moved that we'd both have our own closets. Mark had a lot of suits and I had a whole lot everything. I thought about it for a second before deciding on my bright green sneakers. I walked quickly down the stairs. I missed a step and went tumbling down the stairs. I felt the bones on the top of my right foot crack. "OH MY GOD!" I screamed as tears flowed out of my eyes. "MARK!" I yelled and grabbed my foot. Applying pressure hurt that much more, but being an orthopedic doctor I knew I needed to apply pressure to a break. Mark came running into the living room with Teo hot on his heels.

"Callie, oh my God, what happened?" He asked. Tears were flowing out of my eyes in a constant stream.

"I…I…I…fe…fe…fell down the st…st…stairs." I said choking on my works because of the tears.

"Daddy is momma okay?" Teo asked.

"I dunno buddy. Can you call Auntie Addison for me?" Mark asked. Teo nodded.

"What do I tell her?" Teo asked and grabbed the home phone off its receiver.

"Tell her your mom fell down the stairs and hurt her foot real bad." Mark told him. Teo nodded.

"Okay, I'll go in the kitchen to call." Teo said and ran out.

"Is your foot the only thing that hurts?" Mark asked.

"Yes." I managed. I was still crying rather hard. Mark nodded and looked my foot over rather intently.

"Callie this is a really bad break." Mark told me.

"P…Please st…stop tou…touching it." I told him. The crying was starting to slow in intensity but I was still in unbelievable pain.

"Cal, I have to hold pressure." Mark told me. "My hand is keeping the bone from shifting." He explained.

"It's that bad?" I asked wincing when he moved his thumb slightly to the left. Mark nodded.

"It's that bad Cal." Mark told me. I groaned. Teo came back into the room.

"Auntie Addison said she was on her way over here." Teo reported. Mark smiled.

"Thank you bud. Can you watch some cartoons? I'll take good care of momma. Promise." Mark told him. Teo nodded and ran off into the den. A sharp pain had started to creep across my stomach.

"Mark. My stomach hurts." I told him. Mark slowly removed his hands from my foot.

"Lay back slowly for me okay?" Mark told me. I nodded and slowly leaned back until I was laying on the floor. He lifted up my top and examined my stomach. "Callie your stomach is starting to bruise." Mark told me. I nodded. Someone knocked on the door.

"I got it!" Teo yelled. "It's Auntie Addison." He reported. Addison came into the hallway where we were.

"Mark what's her condition?" Addison asked and got down on her knees next to us.

"Her stomach has bruises forming on it and the top of her foot is badly broken. Do you think the twins are okay?" Mark asked. I groaned and coughed.

"I don't know, we need to get her to the Emergency room. Mark you need to call 911 and then you need to take Teo to school. He doesn't need to see his mom like this." Addison told Mark. Mark nodded and left to do as he was told.

"Addie, it really hurts now." I complained holding my stomach.

"I know Cal, did you hit it when you fell?" She asked. I shrugged.

"I don't remember." I told her starting to feel confused.

"Did you hit your head?" Addison asked. I nodded slowly. I do remember hitting my head on the way down. Addison looked over my head.

"Callie, you've got a big gash above your eyebrow. How did Mark not see that?" Addison asked. Mark came back into the room.

"EMT's are on route, I'll meet you at the hospital." He told us. Addison nodded and Mark left.

Two hours later

Pain medication, is a beautiful thing. I was on Morphine currently. The twins were fine and so was I. I had six stitches for the cut above my eyebrow, and my foot was broken in three places. The pains in my abdomen had just been from the fall, it hadn't harmed the twins at all. Teo was at school and Mark was currently in a surgery. Addison had them keeping me overnight just to make sure no complications arise with the twins. I could still go into preterm labor because my body is under a lot of stress from the fall. My foot was heavily casted in dark blue. I was stuck on crutches, which was like impossible for someone seven months pregnant with twins. Addison came into the room to check on me.

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

"Massive headache, you?" I asked.

"Yeah smacking your head and needing stitches will give you a bad a headache." Addison said. I rolled my eyes.

"I didn't mean to fall down the stairs." I said annoyed. Addison smiled.

"I'm sorry, this hasn't exactly been an easy third trimester." Addison said sitting down on the end of my bed.

"Yeah, that's an understatement." I said running my right hand through my hair. My right hand had an IV going into it. Addison took my left hand.

"Callie, you can do this. You and Mark are going to make it. I promise." Addison reassured me. I nodded. "Why don't you get some sleep?" Addison suggested. I nodded. She smiled and left the room to give me privacy and quiet.
