Stay
Chapter 23
In the delivery room. It's easy to lose track of time. It's as if what goes in the outside world stops because all you can see and focus on is the person you love and baby being born into the world.
When Brooke said our twins were stubborn. She was right.
I didn't know twins could be born at different times. I thought they came back to back. But in this case i was proven wrong.
Our son was born first. Blond hair and blond eyes.
But our daughter. Something was wrong.
Brooke pushed then laid back. Pushed again. And our daughter wouldn't arrive. When this went on for longer then it should.
Brooke was asked to stop. But Brooke refused.
She didn't want surgery. She wanted to bring them both into the world herself.
And she did. But the complications. Only went further when Brooke fainted. And i knew by the sound of her cry something was wrong.
I let our son be taken to the hospital nursery. And i stayed with you and her for as much as i could.
Until i was asked to move into the hallway. Because they needed room to work.
So i waited in that hallway. Pacing and trying to not go to the worst outcome. But somehow we got there anyway.
Because i was met with the doctor and they asked me who should they save. And i said you.
Of course i did. If it came down to it. I couldn't go on in a world without you in it.
I eventually got reunited with you. When you woke up you asked about them. The babies not thinking for a second of what you just endured.
