Here you go guys! New chapter!
One Week Later
"What do you mean you decided to name one of the boys Wyatt?" Alex asked. "Don't I get a say?" He asked starting to get angry.
"Well I figured since I'm the one pushing them out I had the right to pick one name without your consent." I shot back. Alex rolled his eyes.
"Fine, but no more baby name parties with Addison. We decide the rest of the names together." He told me.
"Whatever cranky pants." I teased. Alex smiled and kissed me.
"I love you Kallye." He said. I grinned.
"I love you too goob." I joked and kissed him back. Toby came running through the living room. Alex scooped up Toby as he ran past. Toby shrieked with joy as Alex lifted him up upside down and tickled him.
"Momma make him stop." Toby giggled. I shook my head and started tickling him too. Toby couldn't contain his laughter no matter how hard he tried. My stomach took a nasty turn and I immediately stopped tickling Toby. Alex frowned worriedly. He put Toby down.
"Go wake up your brother and sisters." Alex told Toby. Toby nodded and ran off. "Kal, what's wrong?" Alex asked.
"I feel sick." I told him. Alex felt my forehead.
"Holy crap. Kallye you are burning up." He told me worriedly. I suddenly felt dizzy.
"Alex." I said shakily, and collapsed into his arms.
Addison's View
"Everything looks great Callie. Cloey is a little smaller but that's okay." I told Callie. She smiled. My phone rang and I answered Alex's call.
"Addison, Kallye she collapsed. She collapsed in my arms. She's running a high fever her blood sugar is low, rapid pulse, high blood pressure." Alex rambled.
"Alex calm down, take deep breaths. Have you called an ambulance?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're on the way to the hospital. I left the kids with Mer and Trey. Addison what about the babies?" Alex asked worriedly.
"Calm down. I'll meet you in the ER." I told him and hung up.
"What's wrong?" Callie asked.
"Kallye collapsed." I told her and ran off to the ER. I got there as they were unloading Kallye. Alex was distressed so Callie took him to the waiting room while I began on Kallye. They had her on oxygen with an IV of fluids already. I was checking on the babies when she woke up.
"Addison?" she coughed.
"Hey Kal." I smiled.
"What's wrong with me?" She asked.
"We're waiting on blood test results. We also ran an EKG and a CT." I told her.
"How are my babies?" She asked.
"They look good. Are you experiencing any pain?" I asked. She nodded.
"My stomach, lower abdomen." She told me. I instantly thought Appendicitis. Bailey came in with Kallye's test results.
"Kallye we need to take you Appendix out now." Bailey told her. Kallye nodded. I had to stand in on the surgery to make sure the babies stayed stable. Alex had calmed down once he found out all we had to do was an Appendectomy. It had been incredibly scary for all of us. Being a high risk pregnancy we all instantly thought the worst. Instead of this being an out-patient surgery we decided to keep her overnight. After my shift I went and sat with her. She was asleep. I sat down in a chair at the foot of her bed and soon fell asleep myself.
Enter Dream
Jacob was fast asleep in a hospital bed. He had wires and IV's galore. I sat in a chair at the foot of his bed. He was about four years old now. He looked weak and sickly. His cheeks were flushed from his fever. His hair stuck up in weird places. The oxygen mask fogged up with each breath. Derek came in with Sebastian on his hip. The triplets were one and a half now.
"Momma." He giggled.
"Hey Seb." I said putting on a fake smile.
"Home?" Sebastian asked.
"Not tonight buddy. It's daddy's turn." I told him and kissed his forehead.
"Both!" Sebastian demanded.
"Momma has to stay with Jacob." Derek told him.
"Jacob home too!" Sebastian argued.
"Seb, Jacob is really sick. He needs to stay here." Derek explained. Trenton wheeled in with Jocelyn on his lap. Her fire red hair was pulled into pigtails and her big blue eyes sparkled when she smiled.
"Where are Courtney and Ellie?" I asked.
"At the vending machine." Trenton said and flicked one of Jocelyn's pigtails. She smiled.
"Momma home?" Jocelyn asked. I shook my head and she frowned. Jacob coughed and sat up in bed. I sprang up and kept the oxygen mask from falling off.
"Derek take them home, I'll call you later." I told him. He nodded. I gave each kid a kiss on the cheek before they left. Jacob lay in bed wheezing. He needed a lung transplant soon.
"Mom." He panted.
"Yeah bud?" I asked.
"Am. I. Going. To. Die?" He asked wheezing between each word.
"Oh baby. We'll get you a lung. Promise." I told him. He coughed. Alex came in with Jacob's chart.
"How are you feeling buddy?" Alex asked. Jacob coughed and wheezed.
"Awful. Uncle Alex when will you have my lung?" Jacob asked.
"Soon bud." He said and checked his vitals. Then he smiled at me and left. I followed him.
"Alex what's the timeline? How much time do we have?" I asked.
"Two weeks." Alex told me.
End Dream
I woke up sweating. Kallye was watching me with concern.
"Addison are you okay?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, just a bad dream. How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Bad." She replied. I stood up and checked her vitals.
"You're running a fever." I observed. I checked her incision which was infected. I ordered a round of antibiotics stat. Kallye wouldn't be going home anytime soon.
