Chapter 40: Autopsy

Cara's POV

It's happening.

It's time!

The doctor warned me that I'll deliver between 30 to 36 weeks.

I am now on my 35th week.

I can feel small contractions on my abdomen. I am scheduled for a C-section next week for mine and babies safety but like their father my kids are all impatient.

I rub my abdomen in circles after a contraction and murmured "You're all impatients huh." I felt a swift kick on my side, probably baby C.

I am thankful that my contractions are mild and still tolerable. If not I'll not be calm at all.

We tried to see the genders but my children are covering each other so we just decided to paint their nursery a light brown color.

To be safe all the clothes that we bought are in white.

At this moment, I wished my mom was here to guide me.

It's early morning so Blake is at the gym. I change out of my Pyjamas and waddle towards the gym.

I need to be calm and not startle Blake. I don't want to repeat the incident before when Ella's in labor.

Thank God that our new house has an elevator so It was easy for me to navigate around the house.

Once I reached the gym. I saw Blake wearing nothing but his work out shorts running on the treadmill.

"Blake." I called out.

Blake looked back and when he saw me, he smiled and stops the treadmill.

He grabbed a towel on his side then proceeds to wipe his deliciously ripped upper body and gorgeous face.

Stop it Cara! You can't be horny and in labor at the same time!

"Amore are you craving? Do you want me to buy something?" He excitedly ask.

I need to break the news slowly.

"Yes. We need to go to the hospital." Damn it. I told him direct to the point instead of slowly.

Blake suddenly freeze and look at me wide eyed. He glance down to my huge abdomen and tried to form some words but nothing came out.

Blake closes his eyes and take a deep breath.

"I'm fine. I am calm. You practiced this many times Blake." Blake repeatedly chanted.

I lean at the doorway waiting on what dumb things my idiotic husband will do.

Blake opened his eyes and calmly retrieve his phone from the pocket of his shorts.

He's currently calling someone and I bet it is only James.

Obviously I can only hear one side of his conversion and it goes like this.

"James."

"No. I am not pranking you."

"No. I am not also asking for sex advise again."

He ask James for sexual advise?

"Cara's in labor."

At this point Blake's voice was getting louder.

"I know! I am fucking calm!"

"Okay see you there."

Blake end the call and much to my surprise, he is still calm.

But I am wrong.

So fucking wrong.

He went out of the gym leaving me waddling behind.

He stops at the top of the stairs and open a hatch on the wall that I did not even know exist.

Blake brings out a mic like contraption.

Oh. Fuck no.

"Mic test. Mic test 1,2,3"

Blake's voice rang out the whole house.

What the hell's happening?

"Can you hear me? The day that we've been waiting for has finally come. Cara's in labor so all of you keep calm and do all the assigned task. Understood?"

Voices simultaneously answered "Yes sir!"

Blake look back at me and smiled proudly

"See? I am calm!"

"Good job. Can we go to the hospital now?" I praised.

Blake nodded and he assist me to our elevator. I saw his hands shaking while pressing the button for the ground floor.

Is he really calm?

All the staff are running around the house. I am assuming to do their assigned task as Blake announced a while ago.

When we reach the front door Blake's going out still topless and wearing only his gym short.

Charlie just raised his eyebrow when he saw Blake and then he look at me. I descretely shakes my head.

"Blake." I called.

Blake looked back at me.

"Oh right the bag. Wait Amore."

He went back inside the house and run towards the nursery room. He came back dragging 2 large suitcase. He's still not changing his partially naked status.

Are we staying at the hospital for a month? Why do we need 2 ass suit cases?

Blake rolls out the 2 suit cases and let the staff placed it at the trunk of the car.

"Come on Amore, let's go!" Blake overcalmly said.

"Are you forgetting something?" I ask while I cross my arms on my chest.

"No?"

I stare at his chest and he followed where am I looking.

Blake sheepishly smiled and scratch his head.

He was going back again when he stopped and turns around.

"Can I at least take a shower?" He asked in a small voice.

I glare at him.

"One minute!" Blake shouted while running towards our room.

I look at Charlie and said "Can you believe it?"

"Yes I do. I bet he forgot where your room was."

Sure enough As soon as Charlie said it we saw Blake running on the other wing of the house to where our room is located.

I want to hit my head on the front door repeatedly.

After at least 10 minutes and 3 contractions later Blake runs down the stairs wearing a casual clothes and slippers.

"I'm ready! I'm here!"

"Are you sure? You might forget applying some sunscreen and lotion" I sarcastically said.

Blake stopped on his tracks and said "Oh shit I forgot!"

He runs back to the room again.

What the fuck?! I saw Charlie laughing his ass off.

Blake runs back again and he hurriedly ashers me out of the house.

He let me inside the car first and then he entered the car next. He buckled both our seatbelts and wait for the car to start.

"Why's the car not starting?" Blake dumbly ask.

To my irritation I throw everything I can put my hands on to Blake and hit bim repeatedly.

"Why do you think huh? You fucking put me in the driver's seat! You want me to drive my ass to the hospital while in labor?!" I shouted.

Blake God Bless him just realized that there is no stirring wheel in front of him.

Calm my fucking ass!

He's much worse than James!

Blake's POV

I did not mean to place Cara in the driver's seat!

I am just panicking. I tried to be calm but there's no way that I'll not panic.

We finally arrive at the hospital after an hour. Cara was so angry she turns to violence.

The nurse assisting Cara was discretely staring at the black eye and a bump on my head that Cara gave me inside the car.

I glare at the nurse daring her with my eyes to say something. The nurse immediately looks away.

That's what I thought missy!

Dr. Bryant smilingly approach us and greets Cara and when she switch her gaze at me, she was startled in my appearance.

"Mr. Bradford what happened?"

"Car accident." I mutter.

Dr. Bryant nodded in understanding.

There's no way I'll tell her that I got decked by a 4 foot 11 inches pregnant woman. That's embarassing.

I saw Cara looking at me. I pout at her asking for forgiveness.

She just rolls her eyes.

Cara was transferred to the operating room for her C section. The nurse hands me a scrub to wear inside the operating room.

I almost refuse to go inside but one look at Cara I accept the scrubs immediately.

Cara gave me a look that promised my current black eye will becomes 2 if I did not enter the operating room.

I entered the room and saw that they already prepped Cara.

A nurse gave me a chair. As soon as I sat down they starts to open my wife's body. The whole time I am holding at Cara's hand in support.

I mistakenly peek behind the curtain and I fucking wish I didn't.

I need to douse my eyes with acid.

I thought this is C section but why am I seeing Cara's intestine?!

Is this Autopsy!

I look at Cara in panic but she's just staring in to space gripping my hand.

I was out off my stupor when I hear  the doctor say

"Baby A out and it's a girl." I look Cara wide eyed.

"Girl?" Cara whispered.

"Yes." I said softly.

"Baby B is a Boy!"

"Baby C is a Boy!"

"Baby D is a Girl! Congratulations!"

The room was full of our babies cry.

Cara and I are full on sobbing. We have 2 boys and 2 girls.

I kiss Cara's face and repeatedly thank her for carrying our precious babies.

"Mr. Bradford you can step out of the room now so you can see your babies. Mrs. Bradford will be out after we stitch her up." The nurse said.

I nodded at the nurse and kiss Cara again and whispered "See you later." Cara groggilly nodded.

Before I went out I look back at Cara again and accidentally saw them removing the placenta and is that her uterus outside her body?

Yup. Definitely an Autopsy.

I prayed that they put her back together.

I changed out of my scrubs and saw James and Ella waiting outside the operating room.

"How's Cara Blakey?" Ella asked.

"Her autopsy- I mean her operation is almost done. She's fine and the babies are all fine."

James raised his brow and I just shake my head. Still can't get over on what I saw.

"Yey! So what's the gender?" Ella excitedly asked.

"The eldest and the youngest are girls. In between are 2 boys."

"Oh my gosh Gideon! I want the same!" Ella exclaimed.

James just kissed Ella's head.

"Congratulations Blake." James said.

"Hey Blakey. Why do you have a Black eye and a big bump on your forehead?" Ella asked while James smirked.

Godammit.
