Chapter 69
Brian's View
"Baby are you ready?" I called from at the bottom
of the stairs. Tiffany and I were gonna go catch a movie and go to the beach.
I thought she would like to get out of the house and have some fun. Not TOO
much fun because I don't want anything bad to happen to her.
"Honey?" I called. I listened and heard nothing and
then all of a sudden there was a big thud.
"Sweetie!" I yelled running up the stairs and into
out room. I looked and saw Tiffany hunched over grabbing her stomach in pain.
Her purse was the thud that I heard.
"Oh my God! Tiffany what's wrong?" I asked worried
rushing over to her. She put her hand on my shoulder to keep her balanced
as I wrapped my arm around her waist.
"The…babies…they're coming!" she managed
to get out. I could tell she was in a lot of pain. I could already see sweat
forming on her forehead.
"Oh my G…we need to get you to the hospital.
Just stay calm OK?"
"I am calm!" she yelled.
"Shh…I know it hurts but we've been through this
before," I said leading her out into the hall and then down the stairs. Michelle
and Christian came running out of the living room laughing. They then stopped
when they saw us.
"Are you alright Mom?" Michelle asked concerned.
"She's in labor...get Courtney and Jason and get out
to the car quick. Lock up the house when you come out," I said rushing to
get the door. I then grabbed Tiffany's hand and led her outside. I opened
up the car door and helped her in. The entire time she was groaning in pain.
I jumped into the driver's seat and said, "Breath baby. Breath."
"I am breathing!" she said frustrated.
Michelle and the other kids then ran out of the house
and to the car. They jumped in and I drove to the gates and then drove through
them. I turned onto the highway and drove as fast as I could. Tiffany was
holding her stomach in so much pain. I took her hand and squeezed it.
"What's wrong with mommy?" Courtney asked hugging
her teddy bear to herself.
"She's having a baby," Michelle said.
"She's having the babies?" Courtney asked
excited.
"Yes...duh! That's what going into labor is stupid!"
Jason said.
"Be quiet! I don't need this right now!" Tiffany said.
Everyone then turned quiet and I just squeezed her hand affectionately.
"We're almost there," I said. She just nodded her
head and rested her hand on her stomach.
I pulled up to the hospital and jumped out. I ran
over to Tiffany's side and swung open the door. I helped her out and helped
her inside. Michelle was in charge of going to the emergency room with the
kids. She knows the drill by now. I mean this is a regular routine to her
probably. She's been though this many times.
"Excuse me..." I said to the lady at the front desk.
She was on the phone laughing and she just put one finger up for me to wait.
I looked at her annoyed as she giggled and chewed on her gum. Tiffany was
breathing heavily.
"Excuse me..." I said again. She just looked up at
me and then started talking again. I grabbed the phone from her and slammed
it down. "Now listen to me! My wife is in labor and two babies are about
to pop right out of her and I want her to be laying down when that does
happen!"
She looked at me in shock and then looked over at
Tiffany, "Um...I'll be right back. We'll get her back as soon as
possible."
"Thank you," I sighed. Finally Tiffany was wheeled
back into a room and set on a bed. I sat next to her and grabbed her hand,
"How's my baby doing?"
"Tired," Tiffany said closing her eyes. I kissed her
forehead and stroked her hand.
"Are you in any pain?"
"Not right now," she said quietly. "I will be in a
second though."
"Just squeeze my hand all you want," I said.
"Believe me I will. I'm surprised your hand isn't
broken yet. It has sure been through a lot," she smiled slightly.
I laughed lightly and said, "I know."
We talked a little more and luckily she wasn't in
too much pain. I knew the babies wouldn't come for another hour or so. You
never really know when the babies will come. I just hope that they are alright.
I don't want them to get hurt or die on me. I'm praying every second that
they'll come out healthy and hopefully my prayers will work.
