It's cold outside! So I decided to write you another chapter ;)
OH and I'm new at writing about premature babies/births so if I get any information wrong please tell me and I will fix it. I've tried to make sure my information is plausible by going to medical sites.
You know you love me! XOXO, Grlwitspunk224 (if anyone watches Gossip Girl LOL)
It had been one week since Jamie had passed out and I had taken her to the hospital only to find out that Jamie was going to have baby early. 3 months too early. That cold January day, Melody Lee Carter and Lola Marie Carter were born. I must say it was unexpected that we were going to have twins. We had told the doctors we wanted it to be a surprise about the sex of the baby but having twins was a surprise as well. The doctors say that everyday the girls take on we should be thankful for. Jamie is still weak but the doctors say she should recover fully in slow time. They also said that it may not be wise to have children again because this pregnancy weakened her a lot.
Today was going to be the first day that Jamie was going to see Melody and Lola. I helped her along the hall way as the rolling IV tagged along. When we reached the room I could sense the excitement in Jamie. We slowly stepped into the room and over to the incubators. Jamie looked at her babies and grinned. She went over to Lola and put her hand into the incubator gently rubbing her cheek.
"I love you Lola Marie", Jamie said still stroking the child's cheek.
Jamie then went to Melody.
"I love you Melody Lee"
She then turned to me and smiled. I went to her and embraced her. "Thank for these beautiful children you having given me Jamie Sullivan Carter"
"You are most very welcome Mr. Carter"
The all of a sudden a beeping noise took over the room.
A nurse rushed over to Lola's incubator.
"I'm going to need a doctor stat! This baby's heartbeat is going down"
The other nurses started working around the room and various noises weird made from the big machines. Suddenly a doctor came in.
"Mr. and Mrs. Carter, I'm going to have to ask you to go back to your room"
Jamie was scared and didn't want to leave her baby.
"No!" I looked at the nurse and realized that it would be too hard to stay in the room if anything happened. As much as I wanted to stay too I knew we had to leave and be patient.
"Jamie come on, let the doctor do his job"
"Landon, I can't just leave Lola here when she needs my help"
"The best thing we can do is let the nurses do their job and not get in the way"
"But." I took Jamie and guided her out the door as the haze went on.
"We're going to have to go in emergency surgery people", the doctor yelped.
As hard as it was for me, I lead Jamie out of the room as we saw the doctor and nurses ushering the incubator into an elevator.
"Landon but "
I lead Jamie into her bed and gently kissed her.
At her bedside was the book her mother gave her full of quotes. I read one that was close to both of our hearts.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Jamie listened intently as gentle tears fell on her face.
"Love never fails" she said that with a gentle smile on her face. I curled up with Jamie in her hospital bed and held her close. I hummed "Only Hope" as we fell into a sleep.

JAMIES POV
"Jamie, Landon rise and shine!"
I slowly opened my eyes to see the warm face of my mother-in-law.
"Hi mom", I smiled and she returned one to me.
Landon was still sleeping and I was well enough to get out of bed and sit in a chair.
I suddenly remembered the horrible site of seeing Lola being ushered into surgery.
"Where's Lola?" I asked scared to hear the results.
She came over and embraced me into a hug.
"Lola is fine. The surgery saved her life"
I let tears fall down my face. For the first time in weeks, the tears had become tears of joy.
"And Melody?"
"She's cute as a button and strong fighter too"
Landon stirred and opened his eyes.
"What's going on…Lola.. is she?"
I looked at my beloved and gave him a smile to reassure his fears.
"They're both alive!"
Landon quickly got up and gave me a hug that told me that everything would be alright.
Sure there were going to be tough times. The journey that Lola and Melody would take had just begun. But I knew that with the love Landon and I had to give, the girls would get through the heavy battle. Love never fails even through hardships.
READ AND REVIEW!
Hopefully I will post a new one on Friday or over the weekend. I promise!
