Musichetta had to leave, but Marius and Cosette stayed. They put Josephine, Maximilien, and Charlotte in the crib. It was cramped, but all three little babies fit. Éponine was still sleeping on the bed. Enjolras and Grantaire were sitting next to the bed. Enjolras was holding Éponine's hand and Grantaire had his head on Enjolras's shoulder. Marius and Cosette were sharing the couch in the living room.
Grantaire woke up and rubbed his neck. He looked at Enjolras and wasn't surprised to see him awake.
"Can't sleep?" Grantaire asked.
"No. I'm worried. Éponine seems so small and frail. Besides, Cosette was saying how hard it was to deliver twins," Enjolras said.
"'Ponine's strong. She'll make it through," Grantaire said.
Enjolras kissed Éponine's hand. "She can't leave us now. She has to make it through."
"Enjolras, you need to relax," Grantaire said, touching his shoulder. "She's fine."
"Is she? Is she really?" Enjolras turned to look at him.
"Yes. Besides, she has Joly looking after her," Grantaire chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Enjolras frowned.
"I feel as if I didn't wake up by chance. I woke up by fate. If I hadn't woken up, we wouldn't have gotten Cosette and Musichetta in time. I don't think we're qualified to deliver a baby," Grantaire mused.
"Cosette's barely qualified herself," Enjolras smiled. "Thank goodness we have Musichetta."
"There are some things I don't want to see, and the miracle of life is one of them," Grantaire said.
"Marius drunk should be added to the list," Enjolras said. "I was the only one sober so I remember it. You don't want to know what he did."
"Let's put in the inside of Bahorel's mouth. I've never seen so many rotting teeth, and that includes my teeth as well," Grantaire said.
"Don't forget Courfeyrac and his thing. Walking around naked is not charming," Enjolras said.
"One time I walked in on Joly, Bossuet, and Musichetta. I don't want to elaborate" Grantaire said.
Enjolras and Grantaire laughed for a few seconds. Grantaire sighed and closed his eyes. "So, what's going to happen now?"
Enjolras sighed, "You know, with two babies, we're going to need extra help in raising them."
Grantaire grinned. "Night Apollo," Grantaire fell asleep.
Enjolras listened to Grantaire's snored and Éponine's breathing. He sighed again and prayed that he wouldn't lose anymore of his friends.
