It's been 245 days now since Sky got pregnant, and we are in the hospital as planned. She is lying on a bed while I am standing next to her, deaf to everything that is happening around me. The doctors and nurses are doing everything ready. Walking around in blue, even I am in blue. I feel like I am choking on my own heart. Seems like Sky had noticed it, because she looks at me worried. No wonder, my whole body shakes. I have felt like this for weeks now, but it's worse now.
Everyone is sitting in the waiting room. The boys, Rachel, Luke and even Sara and David. Sky's grandmother will show up later as soon as her plane has landed. It didn't go so well when Sara and David met. She gave him a big slap on the cheek. I could hear it on the way to this room. David deserved it though. Even if he is more different than he was years ago. He spends most of his time with Ethan and Nathan. Seems like they like him, but I still fear him. How could I not, even he understands, which did surprise me. He promised me that he would use all of his time doing good things with my children. All the good things he should have done to Andy and me, but I would rather see him spend time with them than with me. It makes me happy.
"Hunt, you are frozen." I hear Sky say worried, but I just manage turn to look at her with widened eyes. Yes, I am defiantly stuck on my ground right now. She is defiantly not going to see me run out that door.
"Thank you." She smile to me as I breathe. They have this blue cover that blocks our view, well, I can see if I move, but I would rather let Sky hit me in the face than to throw up on the floor. Don't tell her I said that.
"I can't feel anything." She chuckles and it makes me snort. They gave her many drugs and now it has probably started to work. The doctor said she would be numb from her chest and down, she might not feel a thing. Maybe some, but not any pain. Unfortunately, the pain is going to come afterwards. That is when I am going to pass out. I know it is not me, who is going through the agony, but watching my wife miserable is my pain.
I look at her as I hear them say that everything is ready, and she squeezes my hand, nervously. My heart is now ready to burst out through my chest, and my legs feel boneless. It's like my body is failing on me on the most important moment in my life.
I see them working, but not what is going on. Sometimes Sky is squeezing my hand. They said it could be uncomfortable, but we knew that it would not be painless. This is only going to take around ten minutes to get them out to this world, but it is going to take longer when they are going to stitch her back up. How is it possible that I am still standing?
After a little while, the sound of crying comes to my ears, and now I can't defiantly not breathe.
"It's a boy!" The doctor says, holding up the little, crying and messy Jace. I bite my inner cheeks as I feel the tears wants to come out of my eyes. Then the nurse starts packing Jace in and dry him. I look at them smiling, but then another crying comes to my ears.
"It's a girl!" They all say and I bit lower lip in tears as I see Andi. One boy and one girl.
After a short while, the nurse hands them over to me, and I look at them, packed in a blanket. Andi has a pink cap while her brother has a blue one. These two are so small and adorable.
I kiss each of them on the head, before I bend down to Sky. Who has tears in her eyes as she moves her fingers lightly to touch each of them on the cheek.
"Now we know who it was that broke your ribs." I chuckle and lean in to kiss Sky's forehead.
"Yeah, that little girl really knows how to kick." She grin as she keeps touching on their skin.
"And that boy is as stubborn as you." I comment, because he didn't want to move the right way.
"There is no one more hard headed than you, Hunter." She says raising her eyebrow and it makes me roll my eyes. She looks at me as if she just won the biggest war.
"I still love you, honey." I smile as I lean in to kiss her forehead again.
"I love you too." She says lightly as she kisses Jace and Andi's cheek.
