The next morning was hard for me. I had a hard time getting out of bed. I managed to look over at the nightstand and saw the time. 8a. I looked over on Throttle's side of the bed and noticed that he was already up and making breakfast. I grabbed my cell phone and text him that I can't get out of bed.

Throttle was just pouring some OJ for me when his phone went off. I took it out of his left rear pocket and saw the text I sent him. He shut the stove off and moved the pan off the current burner, then walked to our room.

He opened the door and noticed that I was still in bed. He asked me why I can't get out of bed.

"I think my back might have given out during the night. I think a lot of it had to do with all the felons I was forced to take down. Some managed to throw me down on my back that I think being pregnant made it that much more worse. Call the Dr. and find out if he's willing to make a house call since I can't move."

I winced at the slightest movement. "Easy, Michelle. Don't make any sudden move."

"I wasn't trying to. Just call the Dr."

Throttle knew I was in pain, but he also knew I didn't need to snap at him.

"I'm sorry, Throttle. I didn't mean to snap."

"I understand you're in pain. I'll call the Dr. from your phone. What's the name of the Drs. office?"

"Its Dr. Sloane's office. Just ask for him if he's available."

"Ok. I'll also get a heating pad out of the bathroom, too. The heat might help your back some."

"You're so thoughtful, babe. Thank you."

He smiled at me then grabbed my cell phone. He looked up the number, dialed it then waited for someone to answer. In the meantime, he went into our bathroom and grabbed the heating pad for my back.

"Dr. Sloane's office. This is Stephanie. How may I help you today?"

"Good morning. This is Throttle Thornboy. Michelle Montana's fiancé. I was wondering if Dr. Sloane would be willing to make a house call this morning? Michelle is unable to move. Her back gave out on her during the night. It hurts for her to make any movement."

"I will find out if he is busy and you can ask him. Do you mind if I put you on hold, Mr. Thornboy?"

"Not at all."

"Ok, thank you." Then he was put on hold. He came back out of the bathroom with the heating pad. He plugged it in then set it on the low setting for right now. He was hoping that he didn't have to wait too long before the secretary or Dr. came on the line.

Throttle sat down next to me on the bed. Not long after the Dr. came on the line and asked how I was.

"She's hurting pretty bad, Dr. I put a heating pad under back and set it on the low setting. By chance, would you be willing to do a house call this morning since she can't move without being in bad pain?"

"Of course I can. Just give me your address and I'll be there as soon as I can. Thank you for calling, Mr. Thornboy."

Throttle gave the Dr. the address to the new place, then hung up. He set my cell phone down on the night stand, then told me that he was going to finish making breakfast.

"And it smelt so good, too. If I wasn't hurting so bad, I'd have you bring some in for me."

"Right now, your back is more important than your breakfast. After the Dr. leaves and hopefully you'll be able to move, I'll fix you a big breakfast and you can eat it in bed. How's that sound?"

"That sounds wonderful. How did I come to deserve such a sweet gentleman such as you?"

"Despite all the abuse I took, my mom made sure I was raised to respect women. I could never hurt a woman. Especially the woman I love dearly." Then he bent over and kissed my nose.

I wanted to hug him so bad, but I knew that if I tried to move my arms, I was going to hurt worse than I already do. Instead, he hugged me but very carefully.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

An hour and a half later, the Dr. showed up. He knocked on the door. Throttle walked from our room, down the hallway and to the door. He looked through the peephole and saw the Dr. He unlocked the door, opened it and let him in.

"I know you probably won't be here long, but could you please take your shoes off? We just moved in and don't want the carpets dirty."

"I understand that. I take my shoes off when I get home, too. Where is she?"

"She's in our room. I'll take you to her. Her back hasn't gotten any better since the heating pad was put under her back. I don't know what else to do, Dr."

"Don't worry, Mr. Thornboy. You did the right thing by putting a heating pad under her back."

"Thank you. I remember doing that for my mom after my dad had beat her severely."

"You seem to have turned out well considering you came from what we call a broken home."

"I was also beat by my dad. I swore I would never do that to a woman. Women should be respected, not abused."

"Very true."

They had walked into our room when Throttle said that women should be respected not abused. He was right. They should be respected.

"So, how you feeling, Ms. Montana?"

"Please call me Michelle and I feel like I'm being stabbed every time I move or try to move."

"Don't worry. I'll find out what's going on. I brought a portable scanner with me. It will scan your body and find out what the problem is. Don't worry, it won't hurt the baby in any way, if that's what you're worried about."

"Yeah, I was worried about that. I'm also worried that I might be paralyzed."

"I hope you're not, babe."

"And if it turns out I am, then what? You still going to stay by my side or walk out on me?"

Throttle couldn't believe what his over-sized ears just heard. He carefully grabbed a hold of my right hand and pointed to the ring on it.

"See this ring? It's a symbol of my dying devotion to you. That no matter what happens, I will love you 'til we both grow old and die. I could never leave you, Michelle Montana. Breaking the bond we have, could kill one or both of us. Its not just a physical bond, it's a mental bond, too. I can feel what you feel and vice versa. I can feel that you're scared. I'm sending good thoughts and strength to you. I want you to get better and I want a healthy baby boy." Then he kissed my hand gently.

After the scan was complete, the Dr. got the results on his tablet immediately. "Good news, you're not paralyzed. You have a ruptured disc."

"Phew. I'm glad I'm not paralyzed. What about the ruptured disc? You can't operate on me since I'm pregnant."

"I will call for an ambulance and have you transported to Chicago General. We may have to induce labor a month early."

I looked at Throttle. He saw the look in my eyes. He looked at the Dr.

"Can I speak with you in the hallway, Dr.?"

"Of course." Then he nodded at me.

They walked out into the hallway. Throttle had closed the bedroom door so I won't get upset even more.

"May I ask what the problem is?"

"Michelle and I have talked about this after she found out she was pregnant 8 months ago. She doesn't want to have the baby a month early through induced labor unless he comes naturally a month early. She doesn't want any kind of drug in her body while pregnant. Is there any chance the surgery can wait until she gives birth next month?"

Before the Dr. said anything, they both heard a bloodcurdling scream. Throttle opened the bedroom door and saw that the bed was soaked.

"Her water broke. She's trying to give birth. There's no time to get her to the hospital. I need to deliver the baby now."

"What can I do to help?"

"Try and get behind her. She's going to need something to lay against when she pushes the baby out."

Throttle straddled me from behind then lifted me up a bit so he could get behind me. The Dr. removed the blankets and sheet that I was currently covered with so he can deliver my baby.

He scooted my legs up then told me to grab my legs and start pushing. I pushed for all my might, then stopped to breathe.

"He's crowning. One more big push should do it. Give me all you got on this push."

I pushed that baby out in big final push. He cried as soon as he was out. Throttle got off the bed and went into the bathroom to get a towel to wrap baby Tony in.

The Dr. used my shirt from yesterday to clean baby Tony up. He also clipped the umbilical cord so Throttle could cut it.

"Congrats, Ms. Montana." He handed me my son for the very first time.

Throttle walked out of the bathroom with the towel. "Would dad like to cut the cord?" The Dr. handed Throttle a pair of medical scissors so he could cut the cord.

"I'd be glad to." Then he cut it.

I looked at Throttle. Something was wrong. He quickly picked up the baby and wrapped him up so he can stay warm. Then he handed the baby over to the Dr. and got up behind me again.

"I think she's going to have another baby, doc."

"How's that possible? Last time she had an ultrasound, I showed one baby."

"I don't know how either, but she's pushing."

I pushed out another baby, alright. Another boy. I couldn't believe this. I was hoping I wasn't going to have triplets.

I was so exhausted after pushing out 2 babies. I wasn't expecting a 2nd baby. I don't even have a name picked out for Tony's twin brother.

Throttle went to the bathroom to get another towel to wrap this baby in. The Dr. asked if Throttle would like to cut the cord on this one, too. He didn't hesitate on doing it.

I held both babies in my arms. They were so adorable. "Throttle, honey. We don't have a name picked out for Tony's twin brother. He was unexpected."

"Don't worry, babe. We pick something by the time we get you to the hospital. You made me so happy, Michelle. You gave me 2 beautiful boys. You did a great job."

"Um..I have a question. Do Martian babies have their fur after they are born or is it like regular mice and are pink when they are born?"

"They can be born with all their fur, but its rare that it happens. Doesn't matter, though. They're beautiful, just like their mother."

We didn't realize that the Dr. had called for an ambulance until he told us its on the way.

"After we get you to the hospital, I'll call Charley and tell her the good news. She can call everyone else."

"What about baby furniture? We hadn't gone shopping for any yet. Tony and his brother came a month early."

"I'll take Modo and Charley with me to pick out baby furniture."

"Take pics first. I want them to have quality made furniture, not crap."

"No problem. I hear the ambulance now."

The ambulance had just shown up and the Dr. went and showed them where I was. When they came in to take me to the hospital, I told them that my fiancé was riding with my and boys.

"Normally we don't allow that, but we will make an exception for you and your fiancé."

Once they loaded me onto the gurney with my babies, they wheeled me out to the ambulance to load me inside. Throttle and the Dr. followed suit.

"I will meet you at Chicago General, Mr. Thornboy. Congrats on 2 beautiful baby boys."

"Thank you for delivering them, Dr. Sloane."

Throttle got inside the ambulance then the EMT shut the door. He went around to the front and got in on the passenger side. I didn't realize there were 3 EMT's. The driver stayed in the ambulance and the other 2 came to help me out.
