Chapter 15

Lilly POV

"What did you just say?" Taylor asked.

"I said my water just broke." She said louder.

"Oh my god. Okay no one panic. Rose let's get you into our shelter." Daley said. I ran over and grabbed one of Rose's arms and Daley grabbed the other one. Everyone looked panicked. Miley, Taylor, and Melissa all followed behind us. We hurried into the shelter and laid out pillows for her to lie on and many blankets all so she would be comfortable.

"Rose, are you having contractions?" Daley asked putting another pillow behind Rose's head.

"Yeah they are still like 10 minutes apart." Rose said breathing heavy. Melissa was holding Rose's hand when her next contraction hit. She started to squeeze Mel's hand and her knuckles turned white. She was trying to control her breathing but she groaned.

"Ow…" She said. She breathed heavy for a minute then said, "Okay, that one is over." She let go of Mel's hand and looked apologetic. Rose was sweating so I was blotting her head with a towel.

"Taylor hang up this," I threw a sheet at her, "over the door so the guys can't see what is going on in here." I said quickly. She went over and tied the sheet over the opening so the guys were shut out. Rose requested this and she only wanted the girls in the room.

"Here Rose take these." Daley handed her some pain medication. "I know this might not help much but it can't hurt." She said. Rose took the medicine and laid her head down on the pillow. She was trying to relax as much as possible.

"Taylor, read me what it says in the first aid book about emergency childbirth." Miley snapped.

"Sure let me do all the work." Taylor said grabbing the first aid book. The scanned the index then quickly skimmed the rest of the pages. "There's nothing in here about that!" Taylor shouted.

"Well I was there when my mom had my little brother. I was there the whole time. I can help." Melissa said.

"Okay well then talk us through it!" Daley said loudly. Melissa went over to Rose's head.

"How are you doing?" She asked her.

"Right now I'm fine. I don't how long it's been since my last contraction but I think it will start soon." Rose said panting.

"Rose, who do you want to guide the baby out down there. Who would you feel most comfortable with?" Rose looked around at all of the girl then said,

"You. I want you and Daley down there, Lilly and Miley helping me with my pushing and such and I want Taylor to do anything you need her to do." She said. She grabbed Miley's hand because her next contraction was starting. She groaned in pain and was panting hard. This one lasted for about 1 minute and then she let out a huge sigh. I added up the time in my head.

"Guys those two contractions were only 4 minutes apart." I said.

"That's when my mom started pushing." Mel said. We all looked at each other and then I nodded at Mel.

"Okay Rose, when your next contraction comes I want you to push." Mel said, moving down to Rose's private part.

"Already?" Rose shouted. Melissa nodded and Rose looked panicked. I held Rose's other hand and we all waited for her next contraction. I looked over at Miley who looked worried but I smiled at her and she relaxed a little.

"Ow!" Rose shouted. Miley and I sat up when she squeezed our hands.

"Okay Rose, you need to push for 10 seconds" I said. "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" I said. She was shouting because the pain was so bad. After ten seconds she breathed heavily and Miley said,

"Again!" She began to push and scream at the same time.

"I can see one of the heads!" Melissa shouted. Rose kept pushing and taking huge breaths in between each push. She was screaming loudly. She was squeezing my hand so tight that my knuckles turned white. Her eyes bolted open and we all looked to see what happened.

"Baby number 1!" Mel said placing a baby on Rose's stomach.

"Taylor grab that blanket and wrap the baby up in it." I ordered to her. She grabbed the blankets and very gently wrapped the baby up in it. The baby was still attached to Rose through the umbilical chord but we were going to cut that last.

"Rose just a few more pushes!" Melissa shouted. Rose was yelling and panting until final she stopped. "Baby number 2." Mel said handing the baby to Taylor who wrapped the baby up. Miley grabbed the scissors from the first aid kit and handed them to Mel.

"So we have to cut the umbilical cord for both of them and then clean out the nose and mouth." Mel told us. She quickly cut the first baby's cord and the baby started crying. Taylor grabbed some tissues and was wiping out the baby's nose and mouth. Mel did the same thing to baby number 2 and so did Taylor. The babies were crying but not loudly. They were both wrapped up in a blue and green blanket. Rose sat up and was holding them both in her arms.

"Are they boys or girls?" Rose asked Mel. Mel smiled and said,

"Two girls." Everyone looked so happy. The two babies were asleep in Rose's arms.

"Daley, what month is it?" Rose asked Daley.

"Umm, April why?" Daley said. Rose smiled and said.

"April and Ava. Those are there names. The first one's name is April Megan Gerald and the second one's name is Ava Bella Gerald."

"Aw those names are so cute." Melissa said petting one of their heads.

"Are they identical?" Taylor asked.

"They sure look like it." Miley said. Ava was in a blue blanket and April was in a green blanket.

"Someone go get the guys." Rose whispered. I got up and walked out. Every single one of the guys jumped up.

"How is she?" Jackson asked first.

"She's fine and so are her babies." I said smiling.

"What are they?" Eric asked.

"Why don't you go find out for yourselves." I said. They all ran past me and when they got to the door way they froze. The girls looked up at them and smiled.

"Guys, I'd like you to meet Ava and April." Miley said.

"Yes I was right!" Eric shouted, but whispered.

"So Rose who is the god mother?" Nathan asked. We all looked at her curiously and she said,

"You guys get to decide. I want it to mean something. So you decide." She said. We all looked at each other because we all knew we wanted to be the god mother.
