The nurses immediately put Layla in a wheel chair and took her straight to the delivery room. Layla was thankfull they didn't have to wait. The contractions was hitting her hard now and it felt as if the babies wanted to come right then and there.
Layla looked around her Doctors and nurses moved about getting the neccessary equipment to deliver two babies. They soon placed Layla onto the bed and started to give her pain medication to numb the pain some. After 30 minutes, Layla began to feel better but she was already in labor.
Nurse "Okay Layla, when I tell you to push, you need to push with all your might, okay?" the nurse looked at her.
Layla nodded "Okay". How hard could birth be this time? Layla had two kids before separate, and thought this shouldn't be any different. Layla looked at Bo who had entered the room as well.
Bo came into the delivery room and took his place besides his wife. Bo wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her lips gently. "Bo, I'm glad you're here," Layla said, stifling a scream.
"I wouldn't miss our babies. Just hold on to me, Darlin,' " Bo said as Layla dug her fingernails into his shoulder.
Bo stayed with her for two hours as she labored through the contractions. The doctors kept saying they wanted her to wait until they were a minute apart, but it just wasn't time yet. In the middle of contractions Bo held a glass of ice to Layla's lips.
"Okay. We got through that one, Layla," Bo said, smoothing back his wife's sweaty curls.
"Bo, why is it taking so long?" Layla whimpered.
"I don't know, but I'm going to be here as long as you need me," Bo said, giving her a deep lingering kiss.
"I love you, Bo," Layla said, smoothing his face gently with her hands as another contraction started and she screamed in pain.
"Doctor, that was awfully close," Bo commented, holding his wife in his arms as she cried.
"I know, Mr. Duke. Five minutes since the last one. It's almost time," the doctor said as the contraction ended.
After six hours of Labor, Bo and Layla's twins were born. The Doctor smiled and handed each one to them "They are beautiful", he said .
Layla held Calleigh and Lauraanne in her arms they were so tiny, yet so fragile. Her forehead was
sweaty and she looked exhausted. "Bo, they are perfect". she kissed each one on the head.Layla never felt any happier. She was so glad they made it through the pregnancy allright.
Within the next hour the rest of the Duke family were oohing and ahhhhing over the twins. Lori took pictures and beamed happily for Bo and Layla. Sandra and Lisa begged to hold the two. They had become obsessed with babies ever since they visited the baby hospital room.
Bo looked at his wife. She was totally exhausted from the birth and smiled at him sleepily. "How are ya feelin,' Layla?" Bo asked after everyone left them alone.
"Sleepy. Bo, are the children healthy?" Layla asked, massaging his face gently with her hand.
"They are beautiful. Just like their mama. Now kiss me, Layla," Bo ordered his wife.
"Why?" Layla asked as Bo trailed his lips from her forehead to her lips.
"I haven't kissed you since I brought you in. Since when do I need a reason," Bo said, pressing his lips firmly against hers. Layla twined her hand in his hair as she kissed him back before falling asleep. After a few minutes Bo went to get coffee. He was going to stay at the hospital where he could check on his wife and make sure nothing would harm her.
Layla Duke was happy. Happy because she had two beautiful twins and happy that that Bo was
her the entire moment to see their beautiful daughters come into the world. Layla looked at Bo
"You never have to have a reason to kiss me", she said as she kissed his lips tenderly back.
When the twins were born, Layla was so happy to see them. They had their father's blonde hair
blue eyes, and her facial features.
Layla fell asleep before Bo left the room and she felt safe having him near. Everyone seemed excited about the twins.
That night, the nurses woke her up so she could feed the girls and eat a decent healhy evening Meal. Layla smiled as the nurse brought her two girls in "How are my girls?" she asked.
The nurse smiled at her "They are doing great. Just woke up from a nap."
Bo walked into the room as Layla ate a healthy meal. After losing blood and being in labor for so long the doctors said that she had to regain her strength slowly. "How ya feelin,' Darlin?' " Bo asked, kissing her lips gently and running his hand through her dark hair.
"Hungry and I want to go home. every time we have a baby I miss being next to you at night," Layla said.
"Me too. Since we're kinda far from Hazzard I had to get a hotel room and Danny slept with me last night while Amy slept with Sandra and Lisa. I can say that our son kicks," Bo said.
Layla laughed as she put down her fork. "Did Rick go to jail, Bo?" Layla asked.
"Yes. This time it's guaranteed. He's gonna get life. Now if we can do that to Darcy then we'd all be happy. She just always has an alibi when we question her," Bo said, picking up the fork and feeding his wife with a few kisses in between bites.
"I'm sure she'll get caught. Just because she's rich doesn't mean she owns you and the police," Layla said, cupping Bo's face gently.
""That's what she had the drugs for. She'll drug a guy until he thinks she's the most perfect girl on Earth. That's what Sarah and Sam think she's gonna do to Nathan. She'll give him such a concentrated dose that Nathan will be singing her praises before he realizes what he's doing," Bo said.
"Bo, don't worry. Nathan is a good, strong young man and he loves Sarah. Just feed me and then the nurse will bring our babies to us," Layla said, kissing Bo's lips gently. Bo kissed his wife back. He hoped she was right about Nathan. Right now he was going to do as his wife said and look at the two girls she had given him.
Sarah was relaxing on the couch at home after she got done with the house chores. It was now her eigth month of her pregnancy and she felt so uncomfortable and grouchy. She demanded for pizza every Friday, Chocolate trouffles during the week, and wanted Nathan to fix her favorite meal at least twice a week.
She knew she should get started on that garden she wanted to make, but Sarah didn't feel motivated and Darcy still flirting with her husband didn't make things better at all. She had the air
conditioner on that day on full blast. It was a hot summer's day and she wished Nathan came
home soon.
"Don't worry, Daddy will be home soon and with more food!" she tried telling her baby that but was she really just trying to tell herself that? sitting down Sarah tried to paint her toenails. She couldn't even reach them so she groaned. Guess she would have to get Alicia to do them for her. Sarah groaned. She hated being so fat. It made her feel not beautiful. that day she wore a pale yellow maturnity gown, and her brown hair was up in a ponytail. "I can't paint my toenails" she whined to herself. "And I'm a big fat grown Hippo". grabbing a snickers bar she began to eat it and started to get into soaps just like Layla and Alicia did when they got pregnant.
Sarah's favorite soaps was young and the restless and Bold and the Beautiful. There lives were always fascinating, never a dull moment. She was in the middle of watching Bold and Beautiful when Nathan came in. Chloe, her pet dog jumped into her lap wanting to be petted "At least you love me even if I am a fat Hippo". the dog barked.
Nathan kissed his wife's lips gently. "Of course I still love you. I like fat hippos," Nathan teased, earning him a smack against his chest before Sarah rose painfully to her feet and put one hand on her back.
"I don't know if I like hitting you or kissing you," Sarah said with a groan.
"I would prefer kisses. After a hard day of fighting fires they are a reward," Nathan said, pulling her into his arms and kissing her at intervals as they danced around the room to a CD featuring Peter Cetera songs.
"How was your day?" Sarah asked as they set the table for dinner.
"Long. At least Darcy didn't bother me today. I still think it's good that we're having Mama and Aunt Daisy bring this baby into the world. Knowing Darcy she'd steal the baby out of the hospital," Nathan said as he put the huge vat of spaghetti on the table.
"I have to go see the doctor tomorrow. Your mother and Alicia have agreed to take me," Sarah said after they prayed over the food.
"Just take a Will with you. I don't want one of Darcy's servants, who thinks he's in love with her, to try to hurt you," Nathan cautioned.
"Nathan, now that Darcy knows I'm having a baby I don't think she'll try to kill me. I think she'll try to keep me alive so she could take the baby once he or she is born. By the way we still need to find out if it's a boy or girl," Sarah said.
"I'm old-fashioned. I don't want to know," Nathan said, sucking up a mouthful of spaghetti through his lips and taking a slice of garlic bread.
"Nathan, after we eat can you paint my toenails? I tried, but I can't reach my toes because of the baby. I was going to ask Alicia and decided that you are the best one to ask," Sarah said.
"Sure. Just show me which color you like," Nathan had painted her toenails before. He didn't mind doing it, even though the stuff that she used smelled terrible.
As he did her toenails with a choice of color she liked a light blue, Sarah laughed as Nathan made a face at the horrible smell as he painted both feet. Soon he was finished.
That night, Sarah called Will to see if he would go to the hospital with her tomorrow. Will agreed that he would and Sarah felt happier and relieved.
The Doctor's office was crowded with expected mom's. Sarah went in not long after she arrived.
That day, they would have a sonogram done, and Sarah would get to find out the sex, if she wanted. Like Nathan, Sarah decided she wanted to be surprised herself.
At the Doctor's office, Sarah felt nervous and uncomfortable. She was afraid one of Darcy's servant's might be around. She leaned towards Will, feeling edgy.
