Thanks for all the wonderful comments! You guys made my day :) Now if I can only make yours….
JAMIES POV
I gently lifted my eyes open and tried to see anything. As my vision cleared I realized I was in a place where I hoped never to be again: an intensive care room.
"Landon?" I whispered. There was no answer. I then touched my stomach.
"Oh please let the baby be alright" I whispered as hot tears trickled down my face. I felt so tired and my eyelids fell heavily.

As I sat in the waiting room chair I silently prayed that Jamie would be alright.
"Mr. Carter?" I glanced up and saw a doctor hovering over me.
"Yes?"
"You can see them now" I looked at the doctor's face with tears in my eyes.
"Them?" I asked.
"Yes, you can see your daughters" I looked at him with a quizzical face.
"Did you say daughters?"
He gently smiled back at me. "Yes, your daughters" My face lit up but then fell again.
"Are they okay?"
"We are doing everything in our possible way to keep them alive."
I nodded and followed him down a hallway. As we stepped into a room I got a nervous chill in my body. What I saw where 3 nurses, machines and two incubators. I stepped closer to the incubators and saw two tiny humans. They were so tiny I felt if anyone touched them they would break. I put my one hand in each incubator and for the first time ever I felt my girl's heartbeats. Teardrops fell from my eyes and I softly talked to them. I could swear that I saw them smile.
"Can I see Jamie?" I asked.
"She is resting right now and is very weak"
"I need to see my wife" I said sternly. The doctor nodded and led me to another room.
As he opened the door I saw Jamie, a pale ghost barely clinging to life. Her eyes were closed but she still looked beautiful.
"I'll give you 10 minutes and then we will have to discuss some matters" the doctor said as he left the room.
I took Jamie's hand and her eyes slowly opened.
"Landon!" she shout whispered.
I smiled through my tears and gently squeezed her hand.
"Hey baby"
"I love you Landon"
"I know you do" I said still trying to show my braveness.
"We have two little girls"
Jamie giggled. 'I'm guessing you'll have to go to ballet lessons'.
I nodded still holding her hand.
I took a chair and moved it next to Jamie. "I can't lose you Jamie"
"Hush, you won't. Right now we have other things to worry about, like what our babies' names should be"
I agreed. "What about Melody? I asked. Jamie smiled. "And I always loved the name Lola", she whispered.
"So Melody and Lola Carter", I smiled.
"That's perfect" she said.
