Unfinished
Chapter 63
Ever since we got the news of the twins Brooke went into preparation mode. Getting anything we needed for the nursery. Getting Sawyer ready to be a big sister. The announcement of twins got her more excited then before. Making plans clear wuth Rachel who would take over the store until she returned from maternity leave. She threw herself into that.
While i got things settled at work. I was going to take paternity leave. 12 weeks.
It wasn't until the ride to the hospital. Did Brooke start to unravel. I parked the car. And held her in my arms.
As she cried and screamed. Clinging to me.
She was 37 weeks pregnant. With our babies. And apologizing for falling apart.
I locked eyes on her. And made it very clear. She didn't need to be strong for me.
"I want to see and hear you're thoughts and feelings."
"I have faith that our babies are going to get through this and come home as soon as possible."
"You're handling this better then i ever could." Lucas proclaimed.
It could take two to three days before the babies were born after Brooke was induced. Which brought on the labor.
I had no idea she was about to go through so much with her mind body and feelings until right before we left.
Sawyer was staying with my mom.
The two of us had rebuilt our relationship to a stronger place.
Once we were in her hospital room. She was given the medication to start the induction.
Brooke focused on her deep breathing and what we learned in birthing class. At first but once the contractions started to get more intense.
I heard her yell and cry out in pain. But Brooke wanted to do this and be fully engaged and present.
I did what i could comfort her. Eventually she fell asleep.
And i was relieved. She was in pain and discomfort. Refusing pain relief.
Seeing her this way was alot more difficult then i expected but i had never been more in love with her.
