I slowly walked back to the room Jasmine was in. My head down as I thought about what the doctor said.

One hour, all it took was one hour for my life to turn upside down and I personally never thought I would care for anyone as much as I care for him.

If Summer wasn't there holding me when the doctor told me the news I probably would've collapsed to the ground.

I mean, all that fucking prying I did for him and he...

And he pulled through.

I looked up and laughed.

A smile broke out onto my face. "Fuck yeah!"

I started jogging towards Jasmine's room feeling elated. I went through so many emotions in the last couple of hours happy do to my babies being born, love, protectiveness, sadness, anger, and now...my happiness is finally back.

I burst through the door and Jasmine's head jerked as our daughter began to cry. I grimaced as Jasmine huffed before her eyes widened and she sat up.

"Y/n please tell me our son is okay."

I sighed and closed the door behind me before walking up to her. I leaned down once I got to her and reached for our daughter before kissing her forehead.

She handed me our daughter and I slightly bounced her as I shushed her causing her to instantly quiet down.

"Y/n!"

I shook my head. "Oh sorry I'm just really happy and I wanted to bask in the silent happiness but I forgot you don't know," I nodded for her to scoot over and she quickly did as I sat next to her. "Well, he's okay."

She let out a shaky breath before running her hand through her hair. "Thank God."

I nodded getting a good look at her. She had bags under her eyes which were red and puffy. "You look like shit."

She rolled her eyes. "Well sorry I was worried about my son and not only that but I just had a baby and haven't gotten any sleep yet."

I chuckled softly. "Sleep now then, I'm here and everything's okay with our little family, the doctor said he's okay and if all- when all goes right he can go home with us."

She looked at me before smiling softly and shaking her head. "That's great but, I don't think I can sleep until our-"

I quickly shook my head and scooted down the bed as I laid my daughter on my chest before holding my arms open. "Sleep."

"Okay okay but um, take off your shirt."

I frowned. "Um, I don't think I want to have se-"

"Shut up," she rolled her eyes. "We talked about this, skin to skin contact so she can hear your heartbeat and your bond grows."

I quickly nodded. "Oh yeah, I forgot," slowly sitting up I handed Jasmine our daughter before pulling off my shirt. "Now sleep?"

She nodded as she yawned.

I laid on my back as she laid our daughter on my chest before laying on the pillow.

I frowned raising a brow. "Um hello?"

She chuckled before shaking her head. "I'm fine on the pillow."

"But why?"

She sighed and shrugged. "Shut up so I can sleep."

She shut her eyes and I huffed before looking down at our daughter and kissing the top of her head.

"Your mom's a meanie."

-

"I never thought you'd have kids before me." Quincy shook his head as he looked down at my daughter in his arms.

I rolled my eyes as I raised my head off of Vanessa's shoulder. "Shut up you fruit."

Everyone chuckled, well everyone but Vanessa.

I noticed she's been quiet since she came to the hospital and I wasn't sure what was going on but, I was obviously going to find out.

I stood and stretched. "You hungry Jazzy?"

"No-"

"Yes," Maria cut in. "You know what she likes so, bring it back," she then flicked Jasmine's forehead. "Él está bien, así que comer."

I looked back at Vanessa and held my hand out. "Come with me."

She glanced at Summer who nodded. Grabbing my hand I pulled her up before throwing my arm over her shoulder.

"Bitch ain't ask me if I-"

"Quincy cuss in front of my baby one more time." Jasmine glared at him and I chuckled.

"Wait Y/n," Quincy called out causing me to raise a brow. "We um, need to address a topic."

I frowned and he glanced at Jimmie who was sleeping with Travis.

My eyes widened as I looked down and gestured towards Y/n Jr before fanning it.

His eyes widened and he quickly shook his head. "He is to me as she should be to you."

He is to me...boyfriend?

Ohhhh girlfriend, Vanessa?

I subtly nodded towards Vanessa and he shook his head looking at Jasmine.

Jasmine should be my girlfriend?

"About what you called..."

Called who?

My eyes widened and he nodded as I nodded too. "Right gotcha."

Damn, I did call her my girlfriend huh?

I smiled at Vanessa as we finally turned and walked out of the room.

"What was that about?"

"Guy stuff anyways," I sniffed. "What's up mama?"

"What do you mean?"

I looked down at her as she looked up at me. I raised a brow causing her to sigh before looking back down.

"Y/n it's your happy day, I don't want to interfere with my problems."

I chuckled. "Baby so much has happened last night and this morning, I'm pretty sure I can handle anything right now."

Vanessa bit her lip and I nodded. "Talk to me."

She sighed. "My dad is back."

I frowned. "Wait didn't he..."

She nodded. "Yeah, he did."

Wow.

"So your obviously not okay but are you mad or sad?"

We stopped at a vending machine and she shrugged. "I'm annoyed."

I pulled out my wallet as I turned to the machine. "Annoyed?"

"Yeah because...because I'm not mad at him and I want to let him back into my life so bad but, I can't right?"

I sighed as I put the number into the machine before looking at her. "Well um, your a reasonable woman and you obviously would still be mad if he deserved it so..."

"Well, what would you do?"

I looked down and bit my lip. "I'd kill my father but, I've hated him all my life and I know you used to have a bond with yours," I gulped looking back up at her. "Did he give an explanation?"

She nodded.

"Was it a reasonable one?"

She nodded again.

"Then let him in Nessa," I stepped towards her and grabbed her hand. "If you feel like you can forgive him then do that. You never know what could happen tomorrow so live in the now and don't think about the past or the future," I scoffed. "Nobody got time for that shit."

She chuckled. "Says the girl with twins, all your going to do is think about their future now."

I groaned. "I knowww and I'm fucking panicking mama."

She chuckled and cupped my cheeks. "Thank you Y/n, and as long as you stay the same your kids are going to be soooo damn lucky to have you as a parent."

"You think?"

She nodded. "Yup, you'll do great."

I let out a shaky breath and nodded. "Thanks," raising a brow I shrugged. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you-"

"Your kids were being born baby, don't fucking apologize."

"I know I just-"

"You wanna make it up to me?"

I quickly nodded.

"Then give me a kiss."

"Done."

Leaning down I gently pressed my lips against hers and she hummed as our lips began to move slowly. I wrapped my arms around her waist as my stomach started to flutter. She slid one hand down my cheek and gripped my chin before pulling back slightly.

"Much better, now let's stop before we're gone for hours."

I chuckled and nodded. "Your right, plus I need to hurry and get this food back to Jasmine before she kills me."

Vanessa chuckled as I turned around. "She's not pregnant anymore."

I bent down grabbing the chips before nodding in realization. "Oh yeah, sorry she gave me PTSD."

She chuckled again as I pocketed my wallet and grabbed her hand before we started back towards the room.

"Awww poor baby, I see both you and Quincy have PTSD now."

I shivered as I thought about the monster Jasmine once was. "I fucking bet, she was a demon."

We laughed as we made it to the room and walked in seeing Quincy pouting as Jasmine and Summer laughed.

"What happened?" Vanessa asked as she sat next to Summer.

"Y/n's daughter legit just smacked me." Quincy rolled his eyes.

I chuckled looking at Jasmine who nodded. "She's been beating up everyone and it's hilarious."

I shook my head walking towards them as I handed Jasmine her chips as she handed me our daughter.

"Ohhh so you were the little kickboxer huh?"

She smiled slightly and I chuckled before pecking her nose and sitting on the other side of Vanessa.

Knock knock

There was a knock at the door before the doctor who saved my son's life walked in causing me to quickly stand.

"Everything okay?"

She quickly nodded and smiled. "Everythings actually so perfect that it's slightly worrying so," she walked further into the room as a nurse came in rolling a little tub that my son laid in. "I decided it's okay for your son to be in the room with his family now."

Jasmine quickly threw her chips to the side and went to stand before the doctor shook her head. "No mom you rest and we'll be him to you," she nodded towards the nurse who rolled our son over to Jasmine before the doctor turned to me. "I was also coming to make sure everything is okay with her."

I nodded and walked towards the doctor as she grabbed her Stethoscope. "You can hold her I really just need to check her heartbeat."

I nodded again as she moved the blanket and pressed the Stethoscope against my daughter's chest.

I glanced behind me as Jasmine held our son tenderly and everyone surrounded her.

Looking back at the doctor I gulped trying to hold back my tears.

"Um again, thank you."

She looked up at me with a small smile. "It's my job."

I nodded. "And I can't thank you enough for doing your job and saving my son's life."

She nodded towards Jasmine causing me to look back as her dad wiped a tear that rolled down her cheek.

Pulling back her Stethoscope she shrugged. "That's all the thanks I need. That happiness you're going to get in your heart as he takes his first steps and says his first words is best thank you possible."

I nodded and bit my lip as she rubbed my arm. "I'll be back to check on them both later."

She cleared her throat. "We'll leave you all to it."

The nurse rolled the tray towards the door as Jasmine looked up. "Thank you."

The doctor winked. "Anytime."

They walked out of the room as I looked down at my daughter who was looking up at me.

"Man I love you."

-

"Jazzyyyy help me." I groaned looking up at Jasmine who chuckled and shook her head.

"I have names idiot your the one that said you didn't want help."

I smacked my lips. "Well let me hear them, wise guy."

She rolled her eyes as she shifted on the bed. "Okay first Zion, no real reason I just like it."

I nodded. "And we can name our daughter Zyaire."

She rolled her eyes. "Because it sounds the same?"

I pursued my lips. "What no, I just like it?"

She chuckled. "I was also thinking about Nova for our daughter because her eyes are bright and also because her cry was super loud."

I nodded and rubbed my chin. "Right right right, and Nevo for our son."

She huffed shaking her head. "And finally Makarios for our son."

I frowned looking at Jasmine. "What?"

"Makarios, means blessing in Greek and he's obviously a blessing."

"Ohhhh," I hummed. "And Makaria!"

Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Y/n-"

"No hear me out, Makaria is the daughter of Hercules and she was a fighter just like this one already is."

She nodded slowly. "Well, I like all the names you threw out there."

I popped my collar. "Now how do we pick?"

She shrugged looking down at our son.

"Which name do you guys like?" I asked looking to the right.

Jasmine looked up and around the room before frowning. "Y/n who the hell are you talking too?"

I frowned my eyebrows. "Yo I don't know why the fuck I asked that."

She laughed and shook her head. "I love your weird-ass."

I smiled at her as she pecked our son's head.

"I love you too Jazzy."
