Finn rushed to get Santana to the hospital. She clenched her jaw in pain.
"I didn't think you'd come," she said softly as she let out another cry.
"Why? You came in and told me you were going into labor, why wouldn't I have left?" Finn asked as he struggled to not run the red light.
"It's easier to fight three bulls than get you away from Rachel," Santana tried to keep her voice steady.
"San…," Finn stopped, they had reached the hospital.
"Come on Santana," Finn said once she was in the hospital room with the doctor. Santana screamed and howled, far louder than Quinn had and with many more expletives, though none were directed at Finn.
"Please get them out of me!" She shrieked. She heard a baby's cry.
"One's out, just hang on," a voice instructed. Santana bit her lip so hard it drew blood. She cried in pain, again. Too much effort, she thought. Wasn't it bad enough that she had to go through morning sickness and nine months of work? She felt anger, but she looked up and saw Finn gazing at her with awe and longing in his eyes. She heard a baby and she realized that maybe, just maybe, it was all worth it. Then the last baby came out. Santana reclined, not sure of what was coming or what to do next. She struggled to catch her breath.
"When you are ready, I'll send in your friends, they have been very patient," the doctor said. Santana quirked an eyebrow, she didn't know her friends had been here. She also didn't know which ones had come. A few moments later she was handed a baby girl. Santana gasped. She was so little, but so beautiful. She looked like Santana, from what she could tell. Finn came over. He ran a hand through Santana's hair.
"Isn't she perfect?" he whispered. Santana looked up at him.
"She's daddy's little princess already," she rolled her eyes.
"Is the other one…a girl too?" she asked tentatively.
"No, he's a boy. They're just cleaning him up. I think you should hold him first, since I held her first," Finn said.
"You know what this means in terms of names, right?" Santana asked. Finn nodded.
"Yeah, Julianna Katherine Hudson and Hayden William Hudson," Finn said. Santana nodded in agreement. The doctor brought over Hayden. Santana handed Julianna gingerly to Finn and then gathered Hayden into her arms. He looked more like Finn.
"He's gorgeous," Finn said.
"Of course, he looks like you," Santana accidentally let the words that she was thinking slip out. The doctor looked at them.
"You can bring the friends in," Santana said. The doctor nodded. Soon, to both Finn and Santana's surprise, the entire glee club was there. Mr. Schue led the pack, smiling. Next to him was Finn's mom. Twelve guests all together, they all craned their necks to get a better look at the two babies. Santana felt a familiar stab of pain when Finn and Rachel beamed at each other like long lost friends, maybe even long lost lovers. Finn handed his mom Julianna, looking for all the world like he didn't really want to let her go. Mr. Schue came up.
"No surprise here, but those are two stunning babies, what are their names?" he asked.
"Julianna Kathryn Hudson and Hayden William Hudson. Kathryn is Santana's grandmother's name and, well, I think you know where we got William from," Finn said. Mr. Schue's eyes were gleaming. Each glee clubber, minus Rachel, came up and said something sweet to Santana and smiled down at baby Hayden. Finally the all trickled out. Rachel gave Finn a hug and left. Santana wanted to punch her in the gut but she couldn't. Finn looked at her.
"Are you sure you want to keep them, this could really alter our lives," Finn said.
"I want to, but you don't have to. You have your whole life ahead of you and I could never, ever, ever dream of taking that away from you," Santana admitted. Finn looked stricken. He sat down and laced his fingers with hers.
"I would never, ever, leave you to do this by yourself," he said. Santana laughed sadly.
"I know, but do you really want to?" she asked.
"Yeah. Yes, I do," he said.
"But do you really want me? We're dating but…" She couldn't finish her sentence because Finn kissed her.
"Shut up and get some sleep, you just gave birth to two babies," he said playfully.
