Owen's POV
Maya was still sleeping but she wasn't allowed to get out of bed anyway so I was making her a simple breakfast of toaster waffles, fruit and orange juice. Its between almost a month since I've moved in to help Maya around the apartment and with the bills she hated being on bed rest but the doctor thought it was best so as much as she groaned about it she knew it was necessary. I finished breakfast put it on a tray and took it into the room.
"Maya wake up got you some breakfast." I said shaking her lightly until she finally opened her eyes.
With her being almost 7 month now it was getting harder to push herself up or to even sit-up so I helped her sit up to eat.
"You made me breakfast how sweet," Maya smiles sleepily.
"Only for the best." I said making her blush as I hand her the tray and got in the bed on the other side.
"This is good, you should cook more." Maya said a few minutes after began eating.
"Only for you and the two in your belly." I tell her biting into my food.
After we finished eating I cleaned everything up and put in in the dishwasher fir later and straightened everything up as Maya took a quick shower. I helped her get comfortable back in bed.
"What time you go to work at?" Maya asked as she booted up her laptop to check her second job email.
"I'm about to head out now, but call if you need anything." I tell her since the last few weeks I've caught her trying to clean and work on the nursery.
"I will don't worry, can you check the mail before you leave through, the bills are supposed to be coming soon and I want to figure how much to divide it by." Maya says worried at the end handing me the mail key as always.
"Yeah no problem, I'll be back at lunch." I tell her.
With that I made my way out of the apartment and stopped at where all the mail is kept and opened Mayas mailbox and grabbed everything out and made my way out to my truck and make my way to work.
"Hey how's Maya?" Luke asks.
"Going stir crazy by only being aloud on her feet for a certain amount of time each day." I tell him as I boot up my work computer.
"I'm sure but it's for the babies' health." Luke said as we began to go through the company email stuff.
"She gets that it's just annoyed with us since she so used to doing stuff on her own, I told her I'd be back at lunch so she could at least eat." I told him flipping through some papers and then answering one of the emails.
"Must be hard to lay in bed all day, not sure I could do it if i wasn't deathly ill." Luke said looking up
I had a lot to catch up on and the morning went by quickly. I looked up and realized it was 12:30 and time for me to go make lunch for me and Maya.
"I'll be back in about an hour." I say standing up grabbing my keys and making my way out of the building nodding to some coworkers and into my truck. It took 15 minutes to get to the apartment and park. I grabbed the mail from earlier and made my way into the apartment, my surprise when I walked in it was boiling in the room and Maya was out of bed and standing and arguing with the landlord dude.
"You can't have a second adult living here it breaks your lease," the landlord says.
"What the hell going on?" I ask getting both there attention's before running to Maya "Your on bed rest, you're supposed to be in bed not arguing with someone." I said scolding.
"The central air quit working at about 10 and I called him to come fix it, and he started throwing a fit about it especially when I said I would just call you to ask if you buy some fans on the way home if he couldn't fix it soon" Maya said softly and running a hand through her hair.
"Her lease lists one adult and two children. You can't live here." The landlord says glaring at me now as Maya waddles to go sit on the couch looking worn out already and using a magazine to fan herself.
"She has to be on bed rest, she's not supposed to be getting up. I'm not living here only staying here to help out or would you rather have a bunch of ambulances outside because something happened to her?" I glared back at the asshole.
"Fine he's can stay, but he's gone as soon as the babies are born, I'll see if I can get the ac fix by the tomorrow." The landlord said before stomping out of the apartment glaring.
"It's hot in here I cannot stay cooped up in an apartment when it's boiling in here and outside." Maya whine.
"Don't worry I'll call Luke to go buy some fans for in here." I told her smiling. "But you need to get back in bed and I'll go make some lunch." I said helping her up and her back into bed before I started making lunch as I called Baker.
"What's up you just left 30 m8nutes ago?" Luke asked answering the phone.
"Yeah and walked in on Maya and her landlord going at it, he's a real dick I tell you." I say as I start making some BLT's. "Take your lunch now I need you to run up to Target and get 4 standup fans."
"How come." He ask curious.
"The fucking central air quit working and dickwad said he'll try and get it fixed by tomorrow, and no way in hell is Maya going to pass out from no air and those babies in danger." I said pissed at the thought.
"Be there in 30." Was all I heard before a click.
Maya's POV
I was laying in bed when I felt a tight pain run through my belly and instinct told me I was in labor so I reached over to call Owen.
"Hey are you okay?" Owen asks when he answers.
"Yeah fine but I've gone into labor," I tell him.
"You what?! Okay uh hang on we'll be right there don't move!" Owen says and hangs up.
I grab my bag for the hospital and wait for them on the sofa. They must have run every red light because they make it to my place in ten minutes.
"I have Maya you get her bag," Owen instructs Luke as soon as they're in. "Just breathe Maya it'll be okay just breathe." Owen tells me.
"I am breathing, the contractions are still ten minutes apart we have time." I tell Owen.
We get out to Luke's car and Owen puts me in, Luke hops in back and Owen rushes us to the hospital.
"Woman in labor, woman in labor!" Owen tells the front desk in a panic.
"Okay we'll take her up to delivery, you must be the father," says the nurse.
"Yeah," Owen nods and I don't say anything different as the orderly helps me into the wheelchair.
Luke's POV
It's been almost 15 hours since Maya went into labor. You would think that with her having twins it would have been quick and easy. But apparently her babies wanted to be stubborn for their arrival. Tris and the others were on their wait out to L.A. cause when Maya first got taken back she asked me to get a hold of them for her and the only flight they could get was a redeye flight. They wouldn't be here for at least another hour since it's almost a 3 hour flight plus the night time traffic in LA. Owen came out a couple times since we been here and let me know she been able to get the epidural and it was helping with the pain but the babies were still being stubborn so they were having Maya walk the halls to try and get her dilated further. If she didn't start soon they were going to give her some kind of drug to make it go easier. I figured it be awhile till Maya went into labor so I went down to the cafeteria and got a coffee. As I was making my way back to the delivery wing I heard my name being called and I looked back and saw Tris and the others here along with duffel bags.
"She have the babies yet?" Tris asked panting as he, Zig and Jenna caught up to me.
"No not yet there having her walk the halls to see if it'll help speed up the delivery." I tell them and we hop in the elevator and rode up to the delivery area.
It was another 20 minutes after we were waiting in the waiting room until Owen came out in one of their suites for deliveries' and was smiling.
"The babies have arrived." Owen told us all.
"Are they all ok? What she name them?" Jenna said excitedly and quickly.
"There all healthy and doing great. The oldest is Evan Matthew born at 3:45 A.M. at 5lb 5oz 20 in, and then Blake Ryan born five minutes later at 5lb even and 18 in." Owen tells us all getting the others more excited and wanting to see them all.
"I'll go call Mom and Dad now and tell them." Tris says pulling his phone and getting a look from Owen. "There waiting for the call anyway."
Tris left to make the call in an area were bars appeared and Owen said he was going to go back in and check on Maya and said he let us know when we could see everyone.
Maya's POV
It's been a whole 24 hours since Evan and Blake made their appearance know and making me a new Mommy. I'm so happy now that I'll be able to hold my sons now. I'm still tired from everything plus it never is easy to sleep in a hospital for long and I can't wait to get home and start my live with my family now. The Dr. was just in an told me off all the precaution's to take and easy, no heavy lifting stuff, and no driving until my stiches come out, so that's going to be hard a little since I live on my own and I don't want to bug Owen and Luke a lot, even though Owen still will be staying with me for a few more weeks whether the landlord liked It or not. The doctor said they were preparing the babies now and would send them in shortly and then an orderly would be along with a wheel chair for me. I was just about finished packing my bag up when Owen walked into the room.
"Ready to go home?" He asks.
"Yeah I just got to wait for them to bring in Evan and Blake and we can go." I said nervously. "You'll probably have to carry them out to the car its policy for me have to go in a wheelchair out of the hospital."
"No worries I think I can handle it." Owen said sarcastically making me laugh as the door opens again and in comes the nurses and the orderly bringing Evan and Blake along with the wheelchair. Owen takes the babies and I get in the wheel chair, the orderly wheeling me to the parking lot. Owen leaves Evan and Blake with me while he runs to get the car. He was back a few minutes later and clicked the car seats into place in the backseat of my car. Since his truck only had two seats and a middle I let him use my car to drive us home. I got out of the wheelchair and when we were all in and buckled Owen started driving us home.
"Happy to be out of there?" Owen asks as I look between the backseat and outside as the sun was shining.
"Yes I hate hospitals," it will be nice to be home.
"And with your sons, it'll take a while probably." Owen said pulling into the parking structure.
"It will especially since the Dr. put some restitution on me since I got stiches, and one of them is no driving , it's going to be hard since the boys need to go get check out next week, and I still need to shop and get food and all." I said worriedly as Owen parks.
"Well of course I'll drive you guys," Owen says.
"You have work Owen, you can't always drop something for me." I said and easing myself out of the car.
"Sure I can and no arguing about it." Owen said as he grabs both Evan and Blake since I still can't lift anything.
We arrived home and Owen got the carriers, when I opened the door I was surprised to see everyone there to welcome us home. I smile and everyone greets me and begins cooing over the babies. Luke takes a carrier and Tris takes a carrier then Owen helps me to sit down. Everyone had to see both the babies, and they were passed around while I got a minute to rest.
"How are you feeling Maya?" Jenna speaks as Luke takes his turn in holding Evan and Zig's holding Blake.
"Sore but the Dr. said it was to be expected for a while just to take a easy on stuff." I tell her as I lean a little into Owen without realizing it.
"The babies are beautiful, they look like you," Jenna grins.
"Thanks hopefully they'll get everything from me." I said quietly like a get a comfort squeeze from Owen. "So how have you guys been doing? We haven't been able to talk as much and sorry about that."
"Maya it's understandable and its going good works great." Jenna says smiling at me, she became a Social Worker and most of her emails were of how they were able to protect another child that day.
"It's school." Zig said with a shrug as he passed Blake over to Jenna as Tris got a turn with Evan. "Go to class, go to work, do homework come home and spend time with girlfriend."
Tris told us about the same except of the apparent cute boy in one of his drama classes which had Owen rolling his eyes at that one making the rest of us snicker at the brothers bickering. Zig, Jenna and Tris stayed till later in the day when they headed to the hotel for some rest cause they were leaving on a redeye to make home so they good rest some before their classes and work on Monday. We bid them goodbye and Luke stayed around to help some. It was an hour after the others left and almost time for Evan and Blake to be put down.
"Alright time to feed them and get them ready to be put down." I tell Owen and Luke who were putting dishes and stuff away for me as I was still a little sore and tender. Owen walked over and helped me up.
"Get comfortable in bed and we'll get them ready for feeding," Owen says.
I carefully make my way into my room and quickly change into a shirt that would be easy to move to feed the twins. I climbed into bed just in time as Owen and Luke brought in the twins.
"I think it's best if I feed one at a time," I remark.
"Okay why don't you feed Blake and we'll get Evan ready to sleep," Owen suggests.
Owen looks at them a second before figuring out which one is Blake and handing him to me. They take Evan into the nursery to get him ready for bed and I spend about ten minutes feeding Blake. When they return they have Evan bundled and ready for bed and they take Blake. By the time I've fed Evan they have Blake ready for bed and Owen takes Evan from me.
"Guess I should head home, I'll see you guys in the morning but call if you need anything," Luke says hugging me and kissing the twins forehead.
Luke lets himself out as Owen and I get both the twins into their bassinets and turn out the light.
"While there out I'm going to try and get some sleep as well." I tell Owen as I get back into bed yawning a little since it's been a tiring day.
"Yeah I think we should both get some sleep, no telling when these little guys will wake up." Owen replies.
I wanted to argue that he'd didn't gave to get up when the boys started to cry but I knew it would be a big help and plus I didn't want to argue either, Owen's been amazing to me since he found out I moved out here, along with Luke. I laid down just as Owen undressed and slid into the other side of the bed, I was used to by now of his sleeping in his boxers but it never bothered me. I was dozing off fast and neither of us realized in our sleep we cuddled up in each other's arms until the babies both started to cry in sync.
"They must be hungry," I yawn sitting up and putting on the bedside lamp.
"I'll go make there bottles." Owen said standing up and making his way out of the room as I get myself up and over to the bassinets and trying and quiet them a little.
Even though I am breastfeeding them I decided to supplement as well so if that I am not around at the time or anything else Owen or Luke could feed them as well. I pick them each up from the bassinets and cradle them until Owen comes back with the bottles.
"Here give me Blake." Owen says taking Blake and handing me Evan's bottle and we began to feeding them as there crying started to die down as they began sucking on their bottle.
Standing for a bit was starting to hurt me some where my stiches were and I carefully sat down on the bed and continued feeding Evan. After about fifteen minutes they both fell asleep again and we put them back in their bassinets. Owen and I were still tired also we went back to bed ourselves and caught up on some sleep. It was another few hours and was awoken by a cry from one of the bassinets. I pulled out of Owen's arms and waking him up in the process, and carefully pushed myself off the bed and quickly swooped down and picked up Blake and started rocking him against my chest but it was too late Evan also woke up and began screaming his little lungs off. Owen picked Evan up and told me he'd go make him a bottle so I started feeding Blake. I was mesmerized by the way Blake feeding that I didn't realize Owen walked back in feeding Evan until he spoke up.
"Shit. Sorry I should have realized what you were doing." I heard Owen say and I look up and see him with his eyes closed but still feeding Evan his bottle.
"Owen its okay I'm just breastfeeding, we share one bed you can see me breastfeeding." I said getting him to open his eyes.
He was hesitant for a few moments but made his way to his side of the bed and got in and continued feeding Evan. Evan finished and was asleep before Blake, but Blake wasn't settling down after his feeding.
I burped him and rocked him but he still wouldn't get to sleep.
"Give him to me," Owen says and I hand him Blake.
Owen started pacing around holding Blake to his chest and gently rubbing his back. I fell asleep again before Blake did.
Owen's POV
When the twins woke up at seven to feed again Maya and I woke up.
"I'll make a bottle and feed Blake," I tell her handing Evan to her before I pick up Blake.
I cradled Blake against my chest as I made my way into the kitchen and made his bottle. I noticed the supplement was getting low so Maya would need to pump again soon. I checked the temp of the bottle and began feeding Blake as someone started knocking on the door, luckily it didn't startle Blake and he continued to suck on his bottle.
"Hey man." I said when I opened the door and saw Baker standing there and let him in before continuing to feed Blake.
"Hey how'd it go with their first night here?" Luke asks as we sit down on the couch.
"Alright up every couple hours to feed and be changed." I said and looking down at the baby in my arms and continued to talk. "This one here decided to be stubborn after his 2nd feeding and didn't want to go back to sleep and cried for another half hour until he crashed."
Blake finished up his bottle and I burped him just as Maya walked out into the living room with Evan cradled in her arms and she smiled and said hi to Luke.
"We should change them and then put them in the swings so we can eat breakfast. Have you eaten yet Luke?" I asked gently getting up not to stir Blake who fell asleep already.
"Sounds good." She said and asked Luke if he would change Evan so she could start breakfast.
"Uhh I guess, I never really changed a baby before but I guess I should learn if I'm going to be around them a lot and help out." Luke said nervously causing me to laugh as he takes Evan from Maya and we head into the nursery.
"It's pretty easy just messy I'll show you," I snickered as I laid Blake on the changing table and quickly changed his diaper with Luke looking over. I showed him what to do and where the stuff was at and it was his turn to change Evan.
We switched spots and I went over to the boys dresser and grabbed an outfit for each boy to wear and was about to sit on the floor and change Blake when a cry out from Luke made me look over.
"What's wrong?" I ask and see something wet on Luke's shirt.
"He just peed on me, I need a new shirt and a new diaper." Luke said holding up the now soiled diaper and looking down at his messed up shirt.
The sight of that just made me burst into laughter especially after Luke started to glare at me. I put Blake in his crib for a minute and grabbed another diaper and help's Luke change Evan. After he got the hang of changing a diaper we quickly changed the boys and so Evan wouldn't get his outfit wet against Luke now soiled shirt I carried them both out to the living room and put them in there swings and setting the speed to low so they be rocked to sleep.
"What happened?" Maya asked coming out of the kitchen looking at Luke and me.
"Evan peed on Luke." I said laughing and that caused Maya to snicker before geeing a straight face and yelling at me to go give him a shirt to change into.
As Maya went back into the kitchen to finish breakfast Luke followed me into Maya room and I grabbed him a shirt.
"Thanks," Luke said taking the shirt.
"No problem."
We finished changing the boys and getting them dressed, then put them in the swings so we could eat.
"Are you going to go back to school Maya?" Luke asks as we eat.
"Yeah I can take a few classes online until they can go to daycare," she replies. "I'll have to return to work too," she says.
"Not for a few months," I said.
"I will have to go back to work soon though," Maya stated firmly.
"Yeah not for six-eight weeks though, just take care of the boys, and the two of us will deal with everything else, and when it's time for you to go back to work then well find the best daycare around and put them in there." I reply back cautious about them all being taken care of.
"I appreciate it but it's not your responsibility," Maya argues.
"No its not but we are going to help you Maya. You've only been here for less than six months, and in that time had twins 3 months later." Luke explains are reasoning.
It looked like Maya wanted to say something else but the sound of one of the twins crying over the monitor stopped her.
Owen's POV
"I'll finish getting Evan dressed can you pack their diaper bag and grab a couple of bottles from the fridge?" Maya requests.
"Yeah no problem." I said picking up Blake who was squirming like crazy and carried him out to the living room and buckle him in his carrier.
Then I went to the nursery for their diaper bag and looked through it to make sure they had all the essentials. I went back out to the kitchen and grabbed a few bottles from the fridge and packed them in the diaper bag. Since Maya was still getting Evan ready along as herself I was about to sit down and catch some sport scores when there was a knock on the door stopping me from sitting down. Luckily Blake didn't start crying since we've noticed if there a sudden noise he would start to cry in a heartbeat. I quickly walked over as another knock that was a lot hard started on the door. I opened the door and on the other side stood a guy a few years younger than me glaring at me. He was my height with spiky blonde hair and green eyes that looked cold.
"Can I help you?"
