When they got to the hospital, the doctors confirmed that yes, Mellie was having contractions, but thankfully, her water hadn't broke. They managed to stop her contractions, but wanted to keep her in the hospital until she delivered, to be sure that if she started having early contractions again, they could stop them. Of course, Mellie was extremely upset, but it was for their babies. Their children's lives depended on her staying in the hospital, so she was eventually perfectly okay with it. Fitz stayed by her side the entire time she was in the hospital, and Mellie managed to keep those two in the oven until she was completely to term, finally delivering the babies at 42 weeks. At 4:32 AM, she delivered the first baby, Benjamin Carter. 10 minutes later, their baby girl, Bellamy Danielle, was welcomed into the world.

After they cleaned off the babies, the nurses handed baby Bellamy to her mother, and little Benjamin to his father. They held them, cooing over how absolutely adorable they were, and how amazingly well Mellie did, for the 4th time, in labor. She moved over slightly so that Fitz could sit next to her, and he did, kissing Mellie's sweaty forehead.

Benjamin, who Mellie was already calling Benny, came out with a head of dark hair, weighing in at a surprising 9 pounds, 3 ounces. He was 20 inches in length, and he was already the sweetest baby in the world. Bellamy, who Fitz had already given the nickname of Bella, had been only a bit smaller than her brother, at 19 inches, and 8 pounds, 13 ounces. They switched babies, and Fitz glanced down at his little girl, immediately falling in love with the beautiful, blonde haired, blue eyed baby in his arms.

The nurses took the babies after a while, after Mellie had fed both of them, and she almost immediately went to sleep, exhausted from the labor. Fitz watched her for a bit before leaving, going home to get changed, get Mellie and the babies some clothes, and to get Teddy so that he could meet his baby brother and sister, and so that he could see his mommy, who he missed like crazy.

When Mellie woke up, Teddy was curled up into her side, sucking his thumb and watching Spongebob on Mellie's iPad. She smiled at him, running her hand through his hair as she yawned and tried to adjust to the light in the room. "Good morning, beautiful boy." She kissed the top of the little boy's head, and when he noticed that his mother was awake, he immediately dropped the iPad and turned around, hugging Mellie tight.

"Mommy!" He giggled, kissing her cheek. Mellie just laughed and smiled down at him, gently rubbing his cheek. "Where's babies?" Teddy asked her, snuggling into her once more.

Mellie just laughed, gently rubbing her baby boy's back. "I'm sure they'll be here soon, sweetie. The doctors have to watch them to make sure that they're healthy enough to go home soon." She glanced over at Fitz, who was sitting in the chair next to her bed, watching her bond with their son.

"Yous no forget about me now, rights?" He frowned, looking up at his mother. "Now that the babies is here?"

Him asking that just broke Mellie's heart. The fact that he even thought that killed her on the inside. "Baby.." Mellie sighed and pulled her baby boy into her arms, holding him close. "Honey, of course not. You're my baby boy. I will never forget about you. I will love you just as much as I do now. The only difference is that you have a little brother and a little sister now. You're a big brother. I'm not going to forget about you and I'm not going to love you any less. And neither is daddy." She kissed the top of his head, sighing quietly.

"Me no wanna be big brudda…Me wanna be the baby." Teddy complained, burying his head in Mellie's chest. When she was pregnant, he was so excited about having two new babies in the house, about being a big brother. He still wanted to be the baby, his mommy's little boy. He didn't think about how much he'd have to give up until now. No more snuggling in between mommy and daddy at night, no more drinking mommy's milk, no more being the baby. The twins were the babies now and they were going to get all of the attention that used to be his. And he didn't like that.

Mellie sighed, watching as Teddy lifted his head up and looked at her, tears in his bright blue eyes. "Honey, you're still mommy's baby."

Teddy shook his head, wiping his tears from his face. "No! Babies ruin everythin'!" He yelled and buried his face in his mother's chest, crying hard and loud. All that Mellie could do was rub the little boy's back, and fight tears herself. He had been so excited throughout her entire pregnancy, that not for a second had she worried about this being a problem. Never had she worried that he would have an issue with not being the baby in the house anymore. For once, he had been getting a bunch of attention from both of his parents, for the first time in his life, and that was being taken away from him again. Not on purpose, of course, but infants needed more attention than Teddy did. Mellie and Fitz didn't want to do what they had done with Teddy when he was a newborn and just pawn them off on Marta. They wanted to be good, decent parents to the twins and give them the nurturing that they needed from the start.

Fitz didn't know what to do, and right as he stood up to rub Teddy's back and attempt to comfort him, the nurses brought the twins in. Fitz sighed to himself and sat down, watching as Mellie let out a small sigh as well. One of the nurses tried to make small talk with them both, asking how Mellie was and how Teddy was feeling about being a big brother. Mellie wasn't about talking at the moment, giving one worded answers as she took Benjamin from the nurse. Bellamy was handed to Fitz and the nurses left the room.

Teddy looked up at Mellie with his red, tear-stained cheeks and swollen face, looking absolutely betrayed as he saw his mother with the new baby. He angrily rolled over and shoved his face into a pillow, kicking his feet and hitting the pillow. Mellie opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out as she reached over Teddy and handed the eldest twin over to her husband. This was going to be tough. She leaned over and grasped Teddy's hips, pulling him into her lap. "Baby boy, come here…" She whispered, but Teddy continued yelling and kicking, big crocodile tears streaming down the toddler's face. Usually, this would be the moment when Fitz and Mellie would discipline him, telling him that he was being completely out of control and that he needed to stop before they put him in timeout. But at this moment, they couldn't do that. They were both so absolutely heartbroken at the current moment that they could do nothing but try to comfort him.

"Mes wanna go home!" Teddy cried, shaking his head as Mellie tried to hold him. "Mes wanna leave babies here and gos home with mommy!"

That poor baby. Mellie thought to herself, looking at the little boy and trying her absolute hardest to fight the tears that so badly wanted to fall. "Teddy Bear, baby boy…" The brunette sighed and looked at him, running a hand through his soft dark hair. "Can you stop crying and listen to mommy for a second, please?" She asked, and Teddy looked at her, his pouty face on, and nodded slowly as his mother wiped the remaining tears from his face. "Having the babies around will not change anything. I will still spend all of the time with you that I have before, and so will daddy. Yes, we will both be so much more tired, but it will not cut into our time with you. I promise you that." She kissed the top of his head. "I love you with all of my heart, baby. Nothing will ever change that. Having Bella and Benny will not change the amount of love that I have for my sweet baby boy."

Teddy looked up at her, his tiny lip still quivering. "Yous pwomise?"

"I promise."

He wrapped his arms around her, tightly holding her. "Mommy, mes wants milk…" He whispered and Mellie nodded, adjusting her gown so that he could easily have access to her breast. Fitz gave her a look, and she gave one back, ultimately the winning look. She had been unable to make him stop nursing while she was pregnant, and had told Fitz that once the babies were born, she would make it happen. But she couldn't right now, not with him acting like this. Mellie rubbed his back, watching as the toddler latched onto her breast and began sucking tiredly, falling asleep after a short ten minutes. Mellie left him where he was as Fiz changed the twins' diapers and rocked them to sleep, putting them both back in their bassinets.

"Hey, Mellie?"

Mellie looked over at her husband, raising an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

"You know how you swear you don't have the mother gene?"

She nodded, waiting to hear the rest of what he was getting at.

"You do." He continued. "What you just did with Teddy, what you've been doing with Teddy for nearly the year since we've decided to try and make it work, that's the motherly gene. Maybe you didn't have it with Jerry and Karen, for obvious reasons. But you have it now, with Teddy. And you will continue to have it with Bellamy and with Benjamin. You have that motherly gene, Mellie. It just wasn't active until recently. You've had it all along." He stood up and kissed the top of his wife's head, looking down at his son in her arms. "If you didn't, Teddy would have stopped breastfeeding a long time ago." He joked and Mellie just rolled her eyes, smiling as she kissed him.

"I love you, Fitz."

"I love you too, Mels."
