Chapter 16: Baby Shower Surprises
By the time February rolled around Alyssa was miserable as hell and couldn't WAIT until she gave birth to the two active twins she had been carrying for 8 ½ months now. She and Paul sat down to eat dinner when Paul came to a realization that had yet to cross Alyssa's mind with all that had been going on during her pregnancy "We haven't thought of names yet" he said and Alyssa gasped "Oh my God, how could I forget about names?" she said and Paul laughed "I know that the group would like to know what we plan on naming out rugrats when we go to that baby shower Emily is throwing for us." he said, "I thought we'd keep them in suspense until they were born." Alyssa giggled and Paul nodded at the idea "That's actually an even BETTER plan. But I don't want US to ALSO be in suspense, ya know?" he said and Alyssa laughed again. "Well let's go get a baby name book and look through it" she said getting up, with Paul's help, and heading to the bedroom to get her shoes. Paul helped her put her shoes on and then helped her out to the jeep, which was easier for her to get in and out of than the Charger was. They rode to the bookstore in Port Angeles and both a few different books on baby names, including one with Native American names in it. On the way home Alyssa said "Maybe they should have the best of both worlds" and Paul raised an eyebrow "What do you mean, my love?" he said and Alyssa laughed "You know like a Native name and another name" she said and he smiled "Let's just look and see what we can find." he said as they pulled into their driveway. He opened the door and helped Alyssa out and into the house. They sat on the couch and the search for names began. After about an hour Alyssa jumped "I'VE GOT IT" she squealed and wrote down two first names. "I love it, I found couple of native middle names I wanted to run by you love. For a girl I thought Elu which means beautiful and for a boy there's either Elan which is friendly or Huritt which means "handsome"." Alyssa thought on that one a minute "Which one do you like for our son?" she asked and he pointed to one "I like that one too" she said writing it down.
The next day was the day of the baby shower and as expected everyone was DYING to know the names they picked out for the twins. "We were going to wait until the Twins were born to tell you guys so that we can keep you on your toes" Paul said with a laugh and a few groans erupted from the group as Alyssa opened the gifts from both the pack family and her true family for the twins. Alyssa and Paul received enough money, diapers, wipes and clothes to cloth and feed a small army. "Guys! You DO know that we are only having TWO right?" Paul said and a few laughs erupted from the crowd, "I love you guys, and I will be back but these two little boogers are pushing on my bladder again." Alyssa said having Paul help her up. "You need a hand?" Bella asked her walking down the hall "I actually have to go too" and Alyssa nodded and Paul let Bella take over and headed back to the living room with the rest of the group. Once in the bathroom Alyssa sat down to use the bathroom "You excited Ally Cat?" Bella asked and Alyssa stood up "ANXIOUS is more the word." she said walking to the sink as Bella used the bathroom, She washed her hands and felt a sharp pain in her back hit shortly after she ran the water over her hands "OW!" she said wincing, "What is it Ally?" Bella asked, "Those two are playing hell on my spine! That shit hu…."she started to say but was interrupted by another sharp pain that lasted a bit longer than the first "Damn it that shit hurts" she said through clenched teeth as she breathed heavily clenching the side of the sink for dear life. Bella quickly jumped up and said "Are you ok? Do you need me to go get Paul?", "No, I think I'm fine it's easing off now" she said relaxing a bit. Bella grabbed her arm and they took a step toward the door when another pain hit "Damn it Bells, this hurts" she said breathing heavily again "You sure you don't want me to get Paul cause it sounds like you are going into labor." Bella said, "No No I'm fine really!" Alyssa said between breaths "It's these damn Braxton hicks I've been having for the past month is all only they haven't hurt THIS damn bad before!", "That's why I think I should get Paul, I think you are going into to true labor Ally" Bella said starting to walk out. Just as she got to the door another pain hit Alyssa causing her to grab Bella's arm "Bella, don't." she said between breaths "My water hasn't broken yet so it's really not a big deal. I just need to sit down for a sec. Help me sit on the tub Bells, please?" she pleaded and Bella helped her over to the tub. "See that's better" Alyssa said once she sat down "All better" She sat there for a few minutes as the contractions kept coming closer and closer and she tried to grin and bear it so that Bella wouldn't freak again. "I think I'm ok to walk out now" Alyssa lied and so Bella helped her up. Just as they neared the door to walked back out to the group the worst pain Alyssa had felt in a long time hit and she held on to Bella and the door frame to stay steady as a rush of warm liquid flowed down her leg. "Ally, come on baby let's sit you back down here" Bella said leading her back to the side of the tub "I am getting Paul, sweetie your water just broke" Alyssa nodded through the pain as Bella calmly collected herself and walked out. Bella walked up to Paul and whispered in his ear "Alyssa needs you but don't panic". "Will you guys excuse me please?" he told the group and calmly walked down the hall trying not to freak like Bella told him to. He opened the door to the bathroom and saw Alyssa crying and breathing heavily sitting on the side of the tub. "Lyssa, what's-"he said talking a step into the bathroom and seeing the puddle on the floor. "Is that what I think it is?" he asked and Alyssa nodded through her breathing "So, it's time?" Alyssa nodded again and Paul grabbed a towel to wipe up the mess on the floor and picked Alyssa up carrying her out the front door yelling "We'll be back" to the group before putting her in the car and hauling ass to the Reservation hospital. "I don't have my bag" Alyssa said through her breathing and crying, "I'll call Bells, we're almost there honey. Stay with me" he said picking up his cell and dialing Bella's number. "Hello?" she answered, "Bells, I need you to go over to our place, Alyssa left her purse there at Emily's there's a spare key in her wallet. I need you to look in our bedroom and bring the bag. Let everyone know not to panic and fill them in" he said and Bella agreed "We'll be there soon cous" she said before they hung up.
Paul and Alyssa arrived at the hospital in record speed and Paul picked Alyssa up out of the car and carried her in not waiting for a wheelchair. "May I help you sir?" the lady at the desk asked "Yes, my wife is in labor. Her water had broken and her contractions are about 2 minutes apart" he said in a rush. The lady immediately called for someone from labor and delivery to come and take her back. Someone was there within seconds and they rushed down the hallway with Paul right by Alyssa's side the whole time.
Alyssa got into a labor room and Paul helped her change into a gown, soon after a nurse came in and said "Well Mrs. Hach let's see if we can take you back to delivery yet or not." she said lifting her gown and measuring "Oh yes, you are at an 8 dear, I'll have to send someone in immediately unless you want to deliver here in this room." The nurse quickly rushed out and an orderly came in as quickly as the nurse left carrying a gurney. The orderly and Paul lifted Alyssa only the gurney and she was quickly rushed to the delivery room. "Paul! Where's the fucking doctor?" she said after they had been in there for a while "I've got to push! I've got to push now! They want out!" she screamed and just as she said that the doctor came bursting through the door "Sorry I'm late we had another delivery next door. Let's see here" he said lifting her gown, "DOC! SERIOUSLY! I'VE GOT TO PUSH!" Alyssa screamed and Paul grabbed her hand tighter "Do something Doc, she didn't even have time for pain meds. Get our children out" he said and the doctor looked as if he were going to pass out as another nurse rushed in. "DOC! What the FUCK Man? Why are you as white as a damn ghost?" Paul screamed furiously and that's when Alyssa screamed even louder "I feel the head! I've got to push!, "DOC! Snap the FUCK out of it and deliver my fucking children!" Paul screamed furiously and the nurse sensing his agitation yelled "DOC! What's going on?" she said walking over to the doctor who wiped the sweat from his forehead "This is my first multiple birth!" he confessed. "You have got to be fucking KIDDING ME!" Paul screamed "Nurse, you done this before?" The nurse nodded "Get down there and deliver our children. YOU" he screamed furiously at the doctor "Get another fucking doctor in here NOW that knows what the fuck he's doing NOW!" The other doctor, terrified of Paul's wrath ran out quickly as the nurse positioned herself at Alyssa's feet. "OK Alyssa, you're doing good. You're gonna feel a little pinch here but I'm just gonna clip it so you won't tear" the nurse said giving Alyssa a shot right below her opened and cutting her just enough for the babies to come out without ripping her open. "Alright Alyssa it's almost time. I need you to push real hard for me for 10 seconds ok." she said "Come on Alyssa push!" Alyssa pushed as hard as she could while screaming and gripping Paul's hand even tighter cutting the circulation off. Alyssa laid back breathing heavily "OK Alyssa you're doing great! Now with the next contraction I want you to push again sweetie we've almost got the head out" the nurse said. Before Alyssa could push again Sue came bursting in (she's a pediatric doctor but that asshole who choked was the only other OB on the floor at the time.) "I'm sorry Alyssa, Paul. He was the only one on today for OB, I was going to check out the twins after they were born but it looks like I'm doing both. Thanks Elaine for filling in so let's see how we're doing here." Sue said sitting between Alyssa's legs "Very nice. OK Baby I know it hurts but I need you to push for me real hard ok?" Sue said and Alyssa pushed with all the strength she had in her and Paul smiled as the head was out. Sue took a pair of scissors to cut the sack from around the baby's face and the supported it's head. "OK Alyssa the head is out but I need you to go ahead and get the rest of him out so we can go ahead and get your little girl here!" she said "PUSH Alyssa" Alyssa took a deep breath and pushed as hard as she could as Paul rubbed her back to try to calm her as she did. A few seconds later there was a scream as Sue laid their baby boy on Alyssa's stomach. "Paul do you want to do the honors?" she asked handing him the scissors. Paul cut the umbilical cord and the pediatric nurse that came in with Sue took their son to have him cleaned up and measurements taken and recorded.
"One down, one to go" Sue said "Sometimes the second comes right off sometimes it takes a bit so Alyssa I need you to let me know if you start feeling the urge to push again.". Alyssa nodded and relaxed a bit back into the bed as Paul leaned over to kiss her forehead "You're doing GREAT baby, we have our handsome little boy so let's hope our little angel hurries up to join him." he said and Alyssa smiled. She felt another contraction coming on and the baby's heart monitor went crazy. "I've got to push Sue!" she screamed and Sue rushed back to her spot. "SUE! What's going on with the monitor?" Paul said panicked and Sue looked at the baby's heart monitor and saw that her heart rate was very high "We've got to get her out NOW" she said "I need you to push Alyssa." Alyssa pushed as hard as she could and felt the head coming out. "One more time Alyssa" Sue said and Alyssa pushed with all her might as their daughter's head popped out. "Alyssa don't push baby I need to get my hands in there and turn her a bit." Paul looked down and saw the head of their daughter was beginning to turn blue "What's going on Sue?" he panicked, "Stay calm Paul, Alyssa Please! I have to get a hold of the cord or she will strangle." she said sticking her hands inside of Alyssa and gently unwinding the umbilical cord from around her neck. "Sue what's going on? Is she going to be ok?" Paul said, "I've almost got it" Sue said and a few minutes later the baby's heart rate slowed back to normal "OK Alyssa her head is free, I need you to push one more time so we can check her out." Sue said and Alyssa pushed as hard as she had ever pushed and a few seconds later their daughter was out. "Judy I need you to get NICU in here NOW!" Sue said when the baby didn't cry like their son did. Paul and Alyssa began to panic. A man ran in with a small crib like thing with an oxygen tank attached and quickly hooked the baby up to the oxygen before rushing her out of the room. "Where are they taking her?" Paul screamed "What's going on?" Alyssa added, "She's alive but her breathing very shallow so I need to get her over to NICU to get her vitals up." she said and Alyssa began bawling "Is she going to be ok Sue? Please tell me she'll be ok" Alyssa screamed, "Right now Alyssa it's hard to tell" she said causing both Paul and Alyssa to break down. "Alyssa let's get you cleaned up and you can go down there with her, we moved your son with her so she won't be alone. Your son is fine, he's healthy and strong. And I can tell that she will be a fighter too but we just need to pray the fight is strong enough" Sue said and they cleaned Alyssa up and brought in a wheel chair for her. She and Paul wheeled down the hall to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and were immediately let inside by the nurse on duty.
They walked over to their daughter and son and while he was wriggling around and crying she laid there hooked up to oxygen. She was moving around but not as much. She had dark marks around her throat from the umbilical cord and the sight made Alyssa and Paul both break down. "Can I hold her?" she asked the nurse and the nurse calmly nodded as Alyssa took their daughter into her arms and Paul held their son close. "Come on Baby, this is mommy and Daddy. We and your brother want you to come on and get better so we can go home and play" she whispered to their daughter through the tears "Open your eyes sweetie, Mommy and Daddy love you and your brother very much" Paul, still holding their son placed a hand on their daughter and said "Come on beautiful, I know you are a fighter, you look too much like your mom not to be. Open your eyes baby and let's go home". They switched babies as Alyssa held their son close and Paul held their daughter against his chest. They stayed there for a while. Alyssa laid their son back in the bassinet and just as Paul was about to do the same, their daughter opened her eyes and smiled at them. A few minutes later a loud cry erupted from the tiny newborn and a nurse came rushing over. A few minutes later they carted their daughter away to be seen again by the doctors. "Mr. and Mrs. Hach?" A nurse said after about 20 minutes "We will be moving your children to the normal nursery now as your little angel is doing FINE now. Sue says that it was the shock of the umbilical cord being tangled and the body trying to let the blood catch up to her head that made her breathing shallow. So congratulations. You have a healthy and happy baby boy and baby girl." Alyssa beamed and began to cry again tears of joy this time as Paul leaned over and kissed her before rolling her to the nursery.
"Paul, Alyssa, your daughter is a fighter like I said before and she came through with flying colors. She may have bruising around her neck for a few weeks but that's normal from how tightly the cord was wrapped but she is truly lucky." "I want to change her middle name to Wapi" Paul whispered in Alyssa's ear and Alyssa looked at him confused "It means lucky" he whispered holding her close. "Now we will be in your room later to get the names and such but we have to get them cleaned up and everything so Alyssa you go rest and we will bring your two angels in soon. "We could always go with Angeni" Paul said once they got to the room and she said "What does that mean?" and he smiled and kissed her "Spirited" he said with a smile and Alyssa nodded "It's perfect" she said snuggling into him. They laid there for a while before Sue rolled the twins in. "I know you wanted them in here before that lobby full of people come in to see you guys" she said "I will send them in 4 at a time." At that she walked out and Paul carefully picked up their daughter and laid her on Alyssa chest and cradle their son against his own.
The first to enter the room were Bella, Jacob, Sarah and Charlie. "Hey kiddo" Charlie said kissing Alyssa on the forehead. "Oh Paulie they are beautiful" Sarah beamed walking to Paul's side and kissing him softly on the cheek and doing the same to Alyssa. "SO! What did you guys name them?" Jacob said as Bella stood beside him wiping tears from her eyes sitting Alyssa's bag on the floor. "Well this little firecracker in my arms that is trying to reach out and say hello to everyone" Paul said laughing "Is Caleb Elan Hach.", "What does Elan mean?" Bella asked and Jacob whispered "Friendly" before anyone could answer. "And this little miracle right here is our fighter names Chloe Angeni Hach. And before you ask Angeni means spirited" Alyssa said.
Everyone took turns holding the little ones before the next group came in. Everyone in the pack and their imprints had a turn before everyone left for the night and Alyssa and Paul settled into the hospital room to catch some shut eye before the first round of feeding began. "I love you Ma Ma" Paul said kissing her lightly, "I love you too Daddy" she said kissing him back. They fell asleep together on that tiny hospital bed in each other's arms.
