us while we gather our things.
The nerves set in the second I’m pushed through the doors. I’m scared…terrified, if I’m being honest.
Everyone tells you what to expect, but actually experiencing it is different. Another contraction hits me. I press my face into Trey’s hip while we’re in the elevator on the way up to our room.
When we get up there, I change into a gown. I decided to bring my own so I can be more comfortable and not have my ass sticking out for the world to see.
I get settled in the bed, getting IVs started. They put on the heart monitor for the babies so we can hear their heartbeats. I notice right off the bat that something is wrong. The babies’ heartbeats are very rapid.
The nurse rushes out to get the doctor. She stepped out while the nurses prepared me. Trey follows the nurse out to see what is happening.
“Vinny, what’s wrong?” I beg, the panic blossoming inside of me. My heart is beating so hard in my chest, I can feel it everywhere.
Another contraction hits me hard, causing the babies’ heartbeats to grow even more rapid. Andy’s sister runs into the room and looks at the monitor on the wall. “The babies are in distress. We need to do an emergent cesarean.”
“Okay,” I agree.
I’m absolutely terrified, and everything happens in a rush. I’m wheeled out of the room to another part of the hospital.
The guys aren’t allowed with me. That scares me more than anything, that I’m going to do this alone.
I’m in a constant mode of panic. Everything is happening around me so fast. I can’t even breathe.
“The guys are getting suited up. They will be joining us in a few minutes,” one of the nurses reassures me, but I don’t think I’ll be okay until they’re here.
I’m so scared for me and my babies. The guys slam the door open and rush inside to me. Dr. Anna approaches and says, “Alright, we’re going to numb you from the bottom down.” I’m sat up, and I lean over and clench my eyes closed, scared at the thought of the needle going into my spine.
The guys hold me as best as they can through this, “Alright, you can lie back now,” Dr. Anna says. I let out a deep breath, and the nurses and the guys help me lie back down.
They put a curtain up so I can’t see what’s happening, and Vinny and Trey sit down on either side of me. I’m shaking so hard, the nerves and the anxiety getting to me.
“I am so sorry, mama,” Vinny whispers in my ear before kissing my cheek. A tear rolls down my face. “I’m scared for my babies. Something is wrong.”
Trey takes my hand, kissing the back of it. “Alright, you’re going to feel some pressure,” Dr. Anna says from behind the curtain.
I look at my men, trying to think of anything else besides them cutting me open. I just want to hear my babies’ cries and know they’re okay.
Vinny hums under his breath so I can’t hear the nurses talking. Trey rests his head on my forehead and clutches my hand so tightly.
“You’re so fucking brave, angel,” Trey whispers to me. I can tell it’s hurting him right now that this is happening.
I close my eyes and just wait for it to be over, the tugging and the pulling making me sick to my stomach. I’m trying not to imagine what’s happening.
“We have a girl!” someone calls, and my eyes snap open. I look at the guys, smiling, and it grows when I hear her scream at the top of her lungs.
“Sariah,” I say softly. She’s here. “Just one more,” I tell the guys, praying to god that he is fine too.
“We have a boy. The cord was wrapped around his neck and he ran out of room to get it back loose.”
Then Caleb cries, and the world is completely complete. “Can someone go check on them please?” I ask the guys. I just need them to tell me that they are okay.
Vinny walks away. “They are beautiful, sweetheart. Sariah looks just like you.” My heart fills with so much love. I can’t wait to hold them and smooch their cheeks.
An hour or so later, I’m taken back to my room. Trey hasn’t left my side and Vinny has stayed with the babies.
Our room is the biggest hospital room I’ve ever seen. Trey has pushed another bed against mine so I have extra room and
