As this is a fiction, I have taken a little bit of a license with the exorcism ritual. It's based on the 'Norvus Ordo Rite'
Will and I walked back downstairs, into the kitchen and met with Dean, Sam and Bobby. We agreed that we were going to go out and grab something to eat and then we would come back and start working on the next phase of the plan to get rid of Lilith.
The next three weeks passed quickly as the house was arranged for the anticipated arrivals, Lilith and the twins. The plan was to get Lilith to attack at the house, once she was inside to lure her into the study where a devil's trap was strategically placed. Once in the trap, we would interrogate her to find out what she wanted with Dean's soul and the twins. When we had the answer then Sam and Dean would exorcise her. We ensured that Lilith could get into the house, but that she would not be able to get near the twins in their nursery. Once the house had been demon proofed Dean, Sam and Bobby spent the time researching exorcism rituals trying to find the best one to remove Lilith from the possessed person; although we had the colt we disliked the idea of using it as this would result in the death of an innocent. Having researched all of the exorcism rituals, they decided that the one that the greatest chance of working and not harming the possessed person would be the 'Norvus Ordo Rite' fortunately this was one that Dean, Sam and Bobby were familiar with and had used on more than one occasion. As a result of their research Sam and Bobby had found that with a couple of changes to the ritual and by tapping into Sam's and my powers instead of just sending Lilith back to hell the ritual could be used to kill her.
During my last visit to Dr Roark, my obstetrician, I told her that I although I would have the twins in the hospital as this was the safest thing for them, I wanted to them to be home within 24 hours of delivery. I told Will that I thought that we could protect them better at the house than at a hospital as we couldn't put up devils traps around entrances to a hospital nursery or to my hospital room. I also said that as Sam had seen Lilith possessing a girl she could also possess any member of the hospital staff and take the twins out of the nursery anyway. Dr Roark thought that this was an unusual request but as I said that it was either this or I had the twins at home, she agreed but said that she would only let the twins out of the hospital if they were strong enough.
The morning of the 11th April started like every day since we had returned home, everyone met in the kitchen and had a relaxed breakfast, discussing what was about to happen what they had found out in their latest research. Dean and Sam had accepted Will and I as family in the way that I had always hoped for. As we were clearing away after breakfast, I felt a cramp in my lower back this subsided after a couple of seconds, I put it down to the twins moving around and catching a nerve. The cramps started again as I was tidying up and preparing the nursery and continued off and on for the next two hours. I decided to lay down to see if this would calm the babies down and get them to move away and stop lying on the nerve hoping that this would stop the cramping. Will stuck his head in the bedroom an hour later and asked "Are you alright?
I have felt that something is off all morning." I said "I'm fine, it's just the twins are moving around a lot and keep pinching a nerve in my back." Will said "Are you sure that is what it is, the twins seem perfectly calm to me." As Will finished that statement, another cramp hit and this one was more powerful than any of the others that I had felt all morning. I grabbed hold of Will's hand and squeezed until the pain subsided. I said "We need to go to the hospital I think that I'm having contractions and Dr Roark told me to come in as soon as I thought that I was having contractions." Will grabbed my bag from the nursery it had been ready for a while, as at the last visit the obstetrician told us that as I was expecting twins there was a greater chance that they would be premature. I had managed to make it to 39 weeks, which would make the twins a week premature but at the check up two days ago, the obstetrician had told Will and I that if the twins should arrive in the next week then there shouldn't be any problems with the health as their lungs were fully developed. Will and I headed down to the study to let Bobby, Dean and Sam know we were leaving, as we came in through the door Sam, said "Toni is everything alright? Do you need anything?" Will replied "Yes. Can you ensure that the nursery is set up as I need to take Toni to the hospital we think that the twins are on the way." Sam looked at the two of us and said "Alright, one of us will drive you to the hospital while the others stay here and finish preparing the nursery."
At this point, Dean and Sam started to play rock, paper, scissors I looked between them and said "Excuse me, but could you tell me which one of you lost and who is driving me to the hospital as these contractions are getting stronger and more frequent." They looked back at me and Sam said "Dean, but it's not who lost it's who won and in a complete fluke Dean won. Whenever we've played in the past he has always lost. We both wanted to take you to the hospital so it only seemed fair to choose this way." As another cramp took hold I grabbed hold of Will's hand and said "Ah, Guys we really need to leave now." Dean grabbed the keys for the Impala turned to Sam and Bobby and said "Make sure everything is ready we need to keep Toni and the twins safe. I'll call you when I have news."
At this we headed out the door to the garage, the Impala and Georgetown University Hospital. We arrived at the hospital approximately 15 minutes later and headed straight for the maternity ward. Whilst Will was filling out the paperwork to get me booked into the hospital, Dean and I were taken back to a room and told that Dr Roark would be along to check on me shortly and that I should get changed into the gown. At this Dean said he was going to go and let Bobby and Sam know what was happening and grab some coffee. Shortly after Dean left Will walked in accompanied by Dr Roark who said "Alright Toni, why don't we take a look and see what is going on and how far along you are." She carried out her exam and turned to us and said "Yes, you are in labor. You are at about 7 centimeters dilated, there's another 3 centimeters to go. Based on your rate of dilation so far I would estimate that the twins will be here by the end of the day. I'll come back and check on you in an hour. A nurse will be in to check your blood pressure and hook you up to the fetal monitor so that we can keep a track on the babies' heart beats." As Dr Roark left the room Dean came in with a coffee for him and Will and asked "OK, so what's what." Will turned to him and said "The doctor is saying it's going to be a few more hours at least. If you want to go back to the house, don't feel that you need to stay here." Dean said "Are you kidding, you're not getting rid of me that easily. I want to be here, we all did, hence the rock, paper, scissors. Also, who else are you going to get to do the coffee
run?" A nurse appeared and said "OK, Samantha. I'm here to take your blood pressure and set up the fetal monitor." Will, Dean and I looked at each other and smiled, I turned to the nurse and said "You can call me Toni everyone else does, Samantha is a family name but I don't use unless it is on formal occasions." The nurse said "No problem, I know how that is. My parents named me Jacqueline, but I go by Jackie. If I anyone calls me Jacqueline I flashback to my youth and think I'm in trouble." At this there was a low level laugh around the room. As we had been talking Jackie had put the blood pressure cuff on my arm and taken the pressure. She wrote it on my notes and walked around the bed to put on the fetal monitor.
After the monitor was on Jackie left the room and saying on the way out "I'll be back in 30 minutes to check your blood pressure, the babies' heart beats and how frequent the contractions are." "OK, Jackie. We'll see you in 30 minutes." I replied and reached over and squeezed Will's hand, looked at him and he said "It's going to be alright, I know they are a week early but they are fine. You know that and I know that. Their heart beats are strong and just think by the end of the day we are going to see our babies. You do know how much I love you don't you." I leaned in to him, kissed him and said "Yes, I know. Whilst we have the time have you thought about names, we have been too busy over the past 6 weeks to really think about anything other than Lilith and keeping the twins safe." At this Dean who was sat in the corner of the room watching 'Oprah' piped up, I recommend Dean. Will turned to him and said, "I think one Dean in the family is enough don't you." Will started again and said "Are we sticking with Winchester tradition, the youngest having to be named Sam or a variation therefore." I replied "how about we change the tradition slightly instead of Sam being the first name we make it a middle name." Will smiled at me, leaned in and kissed me lightly to which there was a slight coughing in the background and "Is this really the time and place for that. Do you know how traumatizing it can be for a young person to see oldies making out." At this I pulled out one of the pillows from behind my back and threw it at Dean, "I'll give you oldies.. Can I now have my pillow back, pregnant woman in labor here?"
"OK, back to baby names. How about Hope Mary & Faith Elizabeth if they are both girls, and we add Samara to the youngest and Aidan John & Cole Matthew and we add Samuel to the youngest." Will looked at me and said "I love them; they include the people who have been loved by both of us, but how about we add Dean and Bobby. It would be Aidan John Robert and Cole Dean Matthew." I countered with "Cole Dean Matthew William, this means that all the important men in my life are included. As we finished our discussion, Dean returned the pillow and leaned in and hugged me and turned to Will and said "Do you want a coffee? I'm going to get myself a coffee."
Three hours had passed and Jackie and Dr Roark had been in and out of the room several times keeping check on what was happening, at the latest check up Dr Roark said "OK Toni it's time to move you to the delivery room. Will, are you coming?" He said "Try keeping me out." They moved me out of my room and into the delivery room; Cole Dean Matthew William made his very loud entrance into the world at 11:45pm, much like his namesake 29 years ago, and was followed by Aidan John Robert Samuel at 12:05am, who was a lot quieter. I told Will that he needed to stay with Cole and Aidan until we were back to my room. The boys would have separate birthdays and while they were identical twins this would be one of the things that would
separate them. I had been settled back in the room with the twins when Dean reappeared at the door, I signaled him and he came into the room. I said to him "I would like you to meet Cole Dean Matthew William and Aidan John Robert Samuel." Dean looked at the twins and said "They are handsome boys Toni. I'm going to go home and tell Bobby and Sammy and ensure that the nursery is ready for you to bring them home. Just give the house a call when you are ready to leave and someone will come and collect you." I looked at Dean and said "Thank you, you do know that we won't be able to come home in the Impala that whoever picks us up will need to drive the SUV." Dean looked at me and said "If I come I'm sure I can be a soccer mum for the day" and he exited the room before I had the chance to throw the pillow at him again. I turned to Will and said "Aren't you going home too? You need as much sleep as I do." He replied "It's OK, as this is a private room, I've cleared it with the hospital that I can stay here with you. I'll sleep better if I'm in the same room with you and Cole and Aidan until we get home."
At 3pm the following day Dr Roark came to do her rounds and said that she was happy that the babies were strong enough to go home. Will rang the house from his cell phone and was told that Dean would be there to pick us all up in 30 minutes. I was happy that I would be home with all my boys in under an hour. Dean walked into the room to find us ready to leave and said "Your chariot waits." We walked out of the hospital, Dean was carrying Cole and Will was carrying Aidan. This was the beginning of the next chapter of my life, all we needed to do was stop Lilith and that would be easier as the danger of me going into labor during her attack had been removed. We arrived back at the house and Dean pulled the SUV into the garage, the door opened and Will released both of the baby seats from his seat in the back and handed Cole down to Dean and walked out with Aidan. I walked ahead of them and as I reached for the back door it opened and there was Sam and Bobby with the biggest grins on the faces. Dean and Will walked past them into the kitchen and as they put the seats down on the table, I said "Sam, Bobby I would like you to meet Cole Dean Matthew William and Aidan John Robert Samuel. Now if you don't mind I'm going to take my boys upstairs and get them settled in their nursery and lay down and get some sleep myself." Everyone nodded and after I had picked up Aidan, four sets of hands went to get Cole. Will said "Sorry, guys. Father's privilege."
