Chapter Seven: One to many

Emma is now in premature labor, she has been for about five hours. the doctor said she was four centimeters dilated. Emma was having contractions every four minutes, so she finally got an epidural. Emma was now not feeling anything, the doctor checked again, she is now six centimeters dilated. we are now on hour seven, Emma is up too eight centimeters dilated. Julian left to go get her food so Emma is now alone. while Emma was relaxing in the hospital room she hears footsteps and thinks it's Julian and perks up. who actually walks in is Julian's mother, Emma freezes in place. Emma begins to speak "what are you doing here", Emma says. emmas mother-in-law just smiles and walks over to her, Emma starts freaking out. Emma quietly presses the nurse button, "I can't believe you filed a restraining order against me all I did was try to save my son", Emma's mother-in-law says. after a few minutes of berating the nurse arrives. Mrs. Salono what did you need the nurse calmly asks. this woman is bothering me and I would like her to leave, I also have a restraining order against her", Emma responds. "Ma'am we will need you to step out if your not wanted in the room" the nurse calmly answered. I have every right to be here those baby's are my grandchildren and I want to be here to meet them she replied. Security shows up right as Emma's mother in law starts getting aggressive and physical trying to get to Emma. At this point Emma's in tears, for one contractions and two for all the drama in the room. Julian shows up to see his mother being dragged out yelling and cursing. What's going on, "why was my mother here, and Emma darling are you alright" Julian asked. Emma just started sobbing uncontrollably, don't know what to do I'm.. I'm.. just freaking out right now. Emma was now crying, "it just dawned on me that I'm going to give birth to twins soon, and I barely have any knowledge on taking care of kids". Julian didn't say anything just yet all he did was kiss Emma on the forehead and hold her hand. "Emma no matter what it is you will completely master it in no time, and we will learn together", Julian reassured Emma. After Emma had calmed down a nurse came in to check to see how many centimeters Emma was now dilated "You are now dilated eight centimeters", the nurse says. Emma was now calm and Julian went to go get something, "I know you guys probably can't hear me, but I just want you to know that you two are the most important people in my life", Emma spoke quietly to her baby bump. Emma started singing purple rain by prince to her daughters to be, purple rain was the song that played for her first dance at her wedding. Emma hoped it would be the baby's comfort song when they got older. Julian came back into the room to see emma quietly singing purple rain while holding her baby bump, this is the reason he married her for her kind heart. Julian decided to join in on the quiet karaoke, he walked over to her and held her in his arms and they sang purple rain together. "Emma I hope that stay as kind and beautiful as you are today till the day we die". The two of them stayed in each other's arms for a little while, just thinking about how lucky they were to have each other. Emma wished this moment could last forever but suddenly... "Julian I think there's something that's changed, I don't know how to describe it but can you go get the nurse or doctor". Julian did just that, "Emma your ten centimeters dilated and it's time to start pushing", the doctor calmly told her. "What, already!?" Emma exclaimed. The doctor counted and Emma pushed, while Emma crushed Julian hand in here's. One hour later and the first girl was born, she was healthy. Ten minutes later the second girl was born, and she was also healthy. All of a sudden doctor looked at Emma and Julian confused, "there seems to be a third baby", the doctor spoke calmly. Julian turned white, and Emma just looked as if it was at this point not the craziest new she heard. "Emma we will need you to push again", the doctor asked. Ten minutes later the third baby was born but it wasn't a girl but a boy. "Yes it's a boy!!" Julian exclaimed. After everything had calmed down Emma had come to her senses, "Wait a minute", Emma asked. "so you over looked one of baby's". "This happens more often then not, many time triplets can look like twins in ultrasounds", the doctor explained. Emma was relieved and all she wanted to do was look at her baby's, but since they were premature she couldn't see them for a few hours. A few hours had gone by, and Emma was finally well enough to walk around a small bit. The first thing Emma wanted to do was see her baby's, but what she was met with the crushing disappointment of having to see baby's in the NICU. Emma started crying at the sight of her baby's in the NICU, so she just went back to her room. Once there she saw that Julian was waiting there for her and she jumped into his arms practically, crying. "Emma darling I know its hard but you need to be strong, for them". Emma was reassured by this, and she cuddled into his chest. "Emma I just remembered we need to pick names", Emma had almost completely forgotten about names at this point. After hours of consideration they came up with the three perfect names, the first girl would be named moon, the second would be star and the boy would be sunbear. They were the best names for them, and the choice was unanimous between them.
