Chapter 34

Something Terrible

Please review this chapter. I know I didn't quiet get 5 reviews but I haven't uploaded in a while and I miss writing and I can now with my new computer. Remember it is in Sam's POV!

It was two days till the christening of the two girls. Freddie and I were doing the last minute preparations. The church was all organised and the reception. I had picked out the girls dresses too. After Sunday I could start planning our wedding. Freddie and I were watching American Idol and Taylor and Lilly were in bed sleeping.

"This is nice. Just the two of us," Freddie said.

"Yeah. I know. I've missed it."
"I'm sorry. Work's been really busy lately."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just there's this big meeting next week and I've been sort of stressed in work about it."
"You never told me."
"I know. You're probably worse than me though. You have two newborn babies to look after. You shouldn't be worried about my work."
"But I am Freddie. Just tell me next time and I will do whatever I can to help you."
"I will," he said as he kissed me.

Then one of the twins began crying. I got up leaving Freddie to go and see what was wrong. It was Lilly who was crying. She was really warm and really red round the face. I began to get worried. I think that there is something wrong with her.
"Freddie!" I shouted into the living room.

He came in.
"What's wrong?"

"I think Lilly's sick, like she has a fever or something."
"We should take her to the hospital. You take the keys and go on down to the car with Lilly and I'll get Taylor."
"Kay," I said as I left the nursery.

I grabbed the keys and walked as quickly as I could downstairs to the lobby and out to the car. I was so worried about Lilly. What if something was really wrong and with the christening only two days away. Would I have to cancel it? I strapped her into her car seat and waited nervously for Freddie. Finally he came out with Taylor and quickly strapped her into the car and we drove to the hospital.

When we arrived I quickly got Lilly out of the car and ran into the hospital with her. Freddie would follow us in with Taylor I was just so worried about Lilly. What if she was really sick?
There was a nurse at reception. I ran over to her quickly.

"You have to help my daughter," I said to her.

"What's wrong?"
"She was crying and I went in and noticed she was really warm and really red round the face."
"OK I'll take her into the doctor now. You'll have to wait here though," she said to me.

"OK just please make her OK."
"We'll do our best."
I handed her to the nurse and took a seat as I watched Lilly disappear into the room.

Freddie came in holding Taylor in his arms.
"Where is she?"

"The nurse took her in. I'm so worried Freddie."
"I know," he said as he sat down beside me and kissed my forehead while giving me a hug to try and comfort me.

Hours passed I had begun to get really worried. I hope she would be OK. Surely the doctor or nurse should have told us something by now. Taylor was sleeping peacefully in Freddie's arms. She didn't have a clue what was going on. I actually wish I didn't know what was happening at the moment. All I could think about was Lilly.

Finally about an hour later the doctor came out of the room that Lilly had gone to. A ran over to him.
"Is Lilly OK? Please tell me she is OK," I said as tears scrolled down my face.

"She's going to be fine. She does have a fever and we would like to keep her in for a few days. I'll need you to fill out some forms though."
"OK but her christening is in two days. It's a tradition in the family to have the christening before they are a month old. See my fiance's dad died a while ago and he would really like to stick to the tradition."
"I'll do my best Miss,"

"Puckett. Sam Puckett."
"OK Sam follow me this way and I'll get you the papers."
I followed him over to the reception desk and he handed me papers to fill out just about Lilly. After I had finished I went over to Freddie and told him the good news.

"We should bring some of Lilly's stuff here," he said, "Do you want to take Taylor and I'll go and get them?"
"No it can wait till the morning."

Then the nurse came over.

"Miss Puckett, you may go and see your daughter now."

I stood up along with Freddie and we followed the nurse to Lilly's room. When I saw her she was in the incubator. I felt so sorry for her. She looked worse than what the doctor had told me. Freddie and I sat down on the two chairs that were in the room. We just starred at her for about half an hour and talking to her. If the christening had to be cancelled it had to be cancelled. Lilly was the most important thing at the moment but I didn't want to disappoint Freddie. I just hope that it would work out.

Please keep reviewing. I think I've done pretty well in updating tonight. It's almost midnight so I'm pretty tired but I want to make sure everyone is happy with the stories they like. Thanks again for all your reviews so far they have been amazing.
