Chapter thirteen
I take in a gasping breath, bright lights over me with multiple voices around me. Only one voice stuck out over the rest, Kelly's. She was calling my name and I turn my head in her direction. I reach my hand out to her and she takes it. Her breaths start calming down as we held eye contact, her face stained with tears. "I almost lost you Jennifer," she chokes in a shaky whisper. She places my hand on her stomach and I could feel the twins kicking wildly. "They need you Jennifer, they only calm down for you."
The doctors and nurses around us kept quiet as she spoke with me. "Good call bringing her in Claire," one of the doctors say softly. "We almost lost her."
"Is she dead," I ask in a raspy whisper.
"Katie," Kelly asks in a choked whisper and I nod. "Yes and so is Kevin's brother."
I let out a relieved sigh and close my eyes. I let my thumb sweep at her stomach as the twins kicking calmed down. She lets out a relieved sigh and steps closer to

I woke to my mother and sister kissing my forehead. I notice tears in their eyes and realize they were looking at Kelly next to me. She was hugged to my right arm with our hands laced between us.Tears fill my eyes and choke in a whisper, "I wanted her to have a wedding better than the one I had with Jessica and I ruined it by ending up in here.""You can still give her that sweetheart," my mother chokes in a soothing whisper and I look at her as tears roll down my cheeks. "You still have that beautiful beach wedding you planned for next year. You planned this small gathering because she didn't want to wait after what happened with Katie.""There isn't going to be a wedding next year if I'm not there to participate," I choke quietly and she looks at me with hurt eyes. "I almost died twice in the last six weeks. Whose to say that something doesn't happen in the next year. I don't even know if I'll see my twins born if I continue with the job I have.""You

"Good morning," she says quietly, brushing hair off my forehead."Everything okay," I ask in a murmured whisper.She nods lightly and says softly with a smile, "Just admiring how cute my wife looks sleeping.""Sorry I ruined your moment," I say quietly and she gives me a kiss."It's okay," she says quietly as Claire walks in with my medication and her prenatal vitamin. "Thank you Claire.""You're welcome," she says with a smile. She looks at me and asks shyly, "Are you up for me helping Kelly give you a sponge bath today?"I raise eyebrows at Kelly and she lets out a light laugh. "Claire's already seen everything. She's been one of your nurses since we met," she chokes quietly at the end. "You've just been unconscious when she's helped change you into a hospital gown.""Honestly if Kelly didn'

My chest was fully healed within the last week and Devon was impressed. She was checking my artery with an ultrasound machine and scoffs in surprise. "I never had a patient heal this fast before," she says amazed, gently wiping away the gel from my chest."My mother always joked I had mutant DNA when I was a kid," I say with a smile as I fasten the buttons of my shirt."I still want you to take it easy a couple more weeks, but I don't think it'll hurt if you want to have a romantic evening with Kelly," she says with a sympathetic smile.Tears of relief fill my eyes and couldn't stop myself from hugging the other woman.

Kelly was nearing the end if her pregnancy with just two days to go. She's been moody and Claire and I do the best we can to keep her calm. It's been mostly Claire who gets her to calm down while I'm working. I'd calm her down the rest of the way when I get home. Though today was different, when I came home it was quiet. I went looking for her and Claire and found them napping in our bed. Kelly had her head on Claire's chest and Claire had her hand resting on Kelly's stomach. I smile at the view and leave them to sleep. It was rounding dinner time so I decided to surprise them with dinner. I decided to make something that Kelly has been asking me to make, my chicken parmesan that I made our first night she moved in.

Two weeks have passed since the twins were born. We were able to take them home a few days after they were born. The first twin we named after Kennedy. The second twin we named Peyton. Thankfully she hasn't had any problems with her breathing since I revived her at birth. It was the middle of the night when I heard whimpers from the nursery. I carefully slip out of bed and enter the nursery. I peer down at the twins and Peyton's face was scrunched up, like she was ready to start wailing. I look at at Kennedy and she was sleeping peacefully. I quickly scoop Peyton out of the crib and take her to a rocking chair. She immediately calms in my arms, keeping my eye contact. Her eyes droop with sleep and turns her face in my chest. She grasps at my shirt, shuttering a sleepy sigh. I gently rock the chair and she curls up in my arms. I feel my eyes get heavy as I rock her back to sleep. I close my eyes and let out a tired sigh.
