"Richard!" Lizzie was standing in the middle of the kitchen.
"Lizzie?" He ran into the kitchen.
"Call Will."
"What?"
"Tell him eight months, two weeks, three days."
"Your-" Richard turned white.
"YES!" She called Charlie and began making her way to the garage.
"Okay, Will knows." He hung up his phone.
"Call the number on top of the bag." She pointed to her overnight bag. "Thats the hospital."
She opened the door to the bug and got Charlie into it.
"They're ready for you." Richard got into the car.
"Great. Now drive!" Pain darted across her stomach.
"Got it."
Lizzie didn't think she had ever seen her bug work so hard.
Will was having the best worst day ever. Of course on the day my twins are being born I get caught in stuck and go! He hit his horn. He decided the best thing to do would be to call Richard. He answered on the first ring.
"Darce! Where are you?" He sounded panicked.
"Stuck in traffic. How is she?"
"Good." There was a scream. "For now."
"Was that Lizzie?" It sounded like she was being tortured!
"Contraction. Dude, you need to get over here!"
"What do you think I'm trying to do!" And Will hung up.
"Where is he!" She grasped for Richards hand.
"Lizzie, breath." Charlotte had her other hand.
"I've done this before Charlotte!" She snapped. "I need Will!"
"He's coming." Richard flashed a look up at Charlotte.
"I need Will." She said weakly.
"He's coming, Lizzie." Charlotte pushed some of her hair back. "Richard, can you go spend some time with Jane?"
"I should stay here. Will would want me to." He held Lizzie's hand.
"I would," Lizzie sighed, "if I wasn't here." Will walked through the door.
"Will!" Lizzie reached for him.
"Its okay. I'm here." He kissed her.
"I think I'll go to Jane." Charlotte let go of Lizzie's hand. "You'll do fine, Lizzie."
"Can you give me a minute, Richard?" Will asked. Lizzie screamed as another contraction hit.
"Sure. I just go-"
"Talk to Charlotte?" Lizzie teased.
"Shut up..." He turned pink, left the room and closed the door.
"Lizzie-" Will started to apologize.
"Of all the events to be late to!" She panted.
"Its not my fault that people chose to get into a five car pileup!" He all but yelled.
"Easy, tiger." She held onto his hand.
"Where's Mary? I thought you wanted her to be your nurse." He held her hand tighter.
"I sent her to get someone from the airport." She was already tired.
"Who?"
"My dad." She took a few deep breaths.
"Your father? Are you sure?" He was surprised to say the least.
"Yeah. He was coming in today anyway. I've been talking to him a lot lately." Lizzie winced at a contraction.
"So that was your mystery guest?" She nodded and a nurse came in.
"How are we?" She checked all the machines around her. "Almost ready?" Lizzie nodded.
Lizzie screamed and gripped Will's hand as if her life depended on it.
"Its a boy." Her doctor said lightly.
"Bennett. Bennett James." She smiled. Mine and Will's mother's maiden names.
"Ben." Will whispered. She looked at his face. Poor Will, he looks scared to death! Then she saw him, over Will's shoulder.
"Dad?" She whispered before screaming out again.
Two minutes twenty-nine seconds another baby cry filled the room.
"Another boy."
"Thomas." She whispered. "Thomas Jonathan."
"Jonathan?" Will asked.
"After your father." She smiled. "So each has a little piece of both of us."
William kissed her forehead. "I love you. And Ben and T.J." He smiled.
"Ben and T.J. Perfect." She kissed him. "Just like you."
"I am far from perfect. I almost missed our sons birth." He smiled.
"Yes, well almost is not did."
"Here they are." The nurse brought over the first of the two blue bundles. "This guy is the elder of the two."
"Ben." Both she and Will spoke at the same time. Lizzie took Ben in her arms and saw Will's eyes.
"He has your smile already." Will said softly.
"And your eyes." She held the boy close.
"Here's the second of the two." The nurse said softly.
"T.J." They both said again. Will took T.J. in his arms.
"Lizzie," Will said softly, "T.J. has your eyes." She looked as saw T.J. had Will's nose.
She brushed her finger down the tiny nose. "And he has your nose."
"I hope not." Will muttered.
"Why? Its a very attractive nose." She smiled.
"Wanna trade?" He laughed.
"Sure." They carefully traded the bundles with minimal fuss from either.
"They're easy going..." Lizzie murmured.
"Just like their mother." Lizzie looked up at the deep voice.
"Hi daddy." She whispered.
"Hey Lizzie." He said softly and took a step in. "Can I come in?"
"Of course you can." Her dad looked so run down and tired. He still had his laptop bag from the airplane and his glasses rested on top of his head. "I missed you daddy."
"I missed you too, Lizzie-bug." She smiled.
"I missed you calling me Lizzie-bug, Daddy-bee." She smiled when he laughed at his old nickname. Lizzie looked at the younger of the two twins. "Daddy, this is T.J." She smiled as he walked towards the edge of the bed.
"T.J.?" He pulled up one of the chairs.
"Thomas Jonathan." She smiled.
"Lizzie..." He sighed and looked at the little baby in her arms. "Can I hold him?"
"Sure daddy." She handed over the little bundle and took Ben out of William's arms. "Will, you remember my father?" She said sweetly.
"Of course. Mr. Bennett. Pleasure to see you again." He moved from his place in his chair to sit on the bed.
"You take care of my baby girl. And my grandsons." He said fiercely. "I made the mistake of letting her down once and I will not do it again. I will protect her this time."
"Dad. It wasn't you who kicked me out. We've gone through this." Lizzie bounced Ben in her arms.
"I don't care if I didn't kick you out of the house. I didn't help you. I wasn't there for you. I won't make that mistake again." He softened and turned back to the baby. "Can I meet the other one?"
"Yeah. Will can you take T.J.?" Will walked around to Lizzie's father and took T.J. out of his arms.
"I promise." Will said softly to Lizzie's father. "I promise I'll protect them."
Lizzie's father handed over the small child. "Thank you." He turned back to Lizzie. "And who is this?"
"Ben." She handed over her son. "Bennett James." She yawned.
"Get some sleep, Lizzie." Will sat down on the bed again.
"But-"
"No. I'll look after them. You need sleep." Will held the baby close to his chest and put a hand on her leg.
"Okay." She yawned and shut her eyes, dreaming of her future with her boys.
Will watched Lizzie fall asleep. She seemed so at peace and so happy.
"Hey Darce?" Richard stuck his head in.
"Richard." Will looked over his shoulder.
"How is she?"
"She's sleeping." He held T.J. closer to him. "Have you met Lizzie's father?"
"Yeah, outside. Charlotte's waiting for the signal to come in." He whispered.
"Okay." T.J. squeaked and Will shifted.
"Who's this?" Richard moved closer into the room.
"Thomas. But we call him T.J.."
"Could I hold him?" Richard sat down on Lizzie's bed across from Will.
"Sure." He shifted around. "Mind his head and neck."
"He's so tiny." He whispered.
"Yeah." Will said softly.
"So do you have a daughter yet?"
"No. Lizzie's dad has Ben." He smiled.
"Two little Wills? I had better warn Lizzie." They both laughed softly.
Will turned to Mr. Bennett. "Did you meet Jane?" He asked, his arms feeling empty.
"Jane?" He looked up from the bundle.
"Yes?" They all turned to the small voice.
"Hey Janie." Richard gave Will back his son. "What's up?"
"I wanted to see Lizzie." She said softly. "Mom said I could come in alone. She's with Mary and Charlie." She saw Lizzie sleeping in the bed. "Is she okay?"
"Yeah. Shes sleeping." He sat back down. "Did you meet Mr. Bennett?"
"Nope." She popped her 'p'. "Hi." She waved. "Are you related to Lizzie?"
"I'm her father." He said softly. "Mr. Dar-"
"Will. Please."
"Will. Could I talk to you?" He suddenly looked uncomfortable.
"Sure." He put T.J. in his bed and Mr. Bennett put Ben down. The two men walked outside.
"Will!" Charlotte turned away from Mary and eyed Mr. Bennet for a moment. "How is she?"
"Sleeping." He put his hands in his pockets.
"Can we go in?" Mary still had her scrubs on. Will nodded and the two silently entered the room.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"Jane." He looked back at the room.
"What about Jane?"
"She look like Lizzie did as a little girl." He said sadly.
"How much has Lizzie told you?" Will didn't want to overload him. Or tell him something Lizzie wanted to tell him herself.
"She said that she was married. She was having the boys. She said she knew the child she had eight years..." He looked back at the window. "Is that Lizzie's... Is that my granddaughter?" Will just nodded. "Do you think... Has Lizzie forgiven me?'
"I think you have to ask her that yourself." He turned and walked back into Lizzie's room.
