( Eric's POV)

I hung up the phone. I still couldn't believe what H told me.

Calleigh got into an accident. The words rang through my mind over and over.

What if she doesn't make it? What would happen to our twins? How old I live without her?

Thoughts and scenarios entered in my mind.

"Eric? Eric, who was that phone call from? What happened? Eric?" Emily said. She waved her hand across my face.

"Huh?" I said.

"Who was the phone call from?" Emily repeated.

I sighed. "It was from a co-worker, he told me Calleigh got into a car accident."

Everyone froze for a few minutes letting the information sink in.

"Is she okay?" Ryan asked.

I shook my head. "I'm not sure. H said it was serious. Emily, Mr. and Mrs. Duquesne will ride with me; Ryan, Walter, and Natalia take Ryan's car. "I commanded.

I drove past the speed limit racing to the hospital.

"Eric can you slow down: you're doing a 60 in a 40 mile zone" Mr. Duquesne said

"You're daughter just got into an accident and you expect me to slow down? I don't know about you but I want to see Calleigh before anything else happens!" I said angrily.

We drove the rest of the ride in silence.

I saw the hospital sign; I turned into the parking lot and got out.

Everyone else followed me into the e.r. I tried to get the attention of a nurse in blue scrubs.

"Are you looking for someone?" she asked.

"Yes, Calleigh Duquesne she was in a car accident."

"That patient is in the operating room. Can you wait in the waiting room until I have room information?"

I nodded. The nurse led us to the waiting room, a young couple and a woman in her mid-twenties with a child sat in the room.

I paced around the room, waiting for any news about Cal. Ryan placed an arm on my shoulder.

"We both know she and the twins are going to be okay." Ryan reassured me.

"But I can't help with the what ifs, you know?" I said my voice shaking. I felt weak and had chest pains. I sat down and took deep breathes.

"Do you need anything?" Ryan asked. "No I just need to sit." I said

Dr. Wong walked in to the waiting room.

"Are you all here for Calleigh?" We all nodded. "Calleigh suffered multiple injuries from the car accident: broken arm, two fractured ribs, a slight concussion and internal hemorrhaging. We had to have an emergency C-section. Both baby a and b are boys, baby a is four pounds three oz and baby b is four pounds. They are in the NICU for respiratory problems. Calleigh is doing okay she is in recovery now. You can visit her in a few minutes."

Everyone sighed in relief.

"Eric, you have two boys aren't you happy?" Walter asked.

I smiled. "Hell yeah."

"So who is going to visit Cal first?" Natalia said.

Everybody looked at me. "I guess I'll go."

"Do you have a name for the boys?" Emily asked.

"No we don't" I said before leaving.

0-0-0-0-0

Calleigh was laying down on the bed when I walked in.

"Hey Cal" I said. She looked up, smiled and open her arms out for a hug. I pulled her in for a hug. "I thought I was going to lose you today." I said softly. "Do you feel ok?"

"Okay, I feel a little sore, my sides hurt. Have you seen the babies? "

"Not yet, we still have to figure out names for 'em."

"Let's go to the NICU." I wheeled her down to the NICU.

All the premies had many tubes tied to their incubators. They were all so small and fragile. Ours had tiny blue hats on and a breathing tube.

"I didn't think they would be so small." Calleigh said. "I was thinking would name one Demetri and the other Alexander James. Do you like the names?"

"They're perfect." I said. We signed the birth certificates.

Dr. Wong came in. "Hey, are you settling in okay?"

Cal nodded. "Well we got some test results concerning the babies and baby b Alexander has a disability."

"What is his disability?"

"Alexander is deaf"
