Chapter 11

Dana and Edward slipped into their bedroom and quickly got dressed before they made their way to the kitchen. Dana immediately started to make coffee, sandwiches and snacks for the police officers and firemen.

Within twenty minutes she had a huge spread laid out on the table for them.

Police and Firefighters passed through the kitchen, grabbing something to drink, or eat, and thanking her. Soon she found herself sitting on the couch with Cole on her lap.

“Baby, you need to eat something,” Edward pleaded.

She shook her head. “Not hungry now.”

“Damn it.” He stood up and pulled out his phone.

Dana watched as Edward paced the living room. She didn’t listen to what he was saying. She was still trying to calm down from the last two hours. It seemed like a lifetime ago, but her heart was still racing in her chest as if it just happened two minutes ago.

Cole sat on her lap happy as a claim, eating a cookie that Amy gave him. Elizabeth watched her Daddy walking around for a minute before she jumped off Deana’s lap and ran over to him to give him a quick hug before she ran to see Amy in the kitchen.

Dana began to feel lightheaded. “Cole, go see Aunt Amy for a minute, okay?” she said weakly.

“Okay, Mommy,” Cole said, jumping off her lap roughly.

She placed her head in her hands and tried to ride it out. “Ma’am, are you okay?” a police officer asked. She saw him drop to his knees in front of her.

“Just dizzy,” she mumbled.

“Get me a medic in here,” he yelled.

Edward was by her side in a second. “Are you okay?”

“Just dizzy, baby. It’s normal,” she said, trying to stay conscious.

“Normal?” the cop asked.

“She’s pregnant with twins,” Edward said.

“You should be off your feet, ma’am.”

“Dana, I’m taking you in for your appointment now. I just got off the phone with Dr. Downy. He wants you to come in immediately.”

“What about the kids?” she asked hazily.

“Amy’s here and Mom and Dad are on their way now to get them.” Edward said. He turned his attention to the officer. “My parents are coming. Is there any way to make sure they get in?”

“I’ll make sure,” he said, helping Dana to her feet.

Edward picked her up, his ignoring her weak protests and headed towards the front door.

“Amy, we’re going!” he yelled.

She popped her head into the living room with two pudding coated children. “Okay, Mom just called me. She’s on her way.”

“Thanks, Amy,” Edward said. “Bye, guys, have fun at Grandma’s.”

“Bye, Daddy! Bye, Mommy!” the kids said before turning to return to their pudding.

“Everything looks really good,” Dr. Downy said, looking over her blood results and ultrasound again. “The babies’

heart rates are strong and steady. Everything from the placenta to fluid looks good. I think you just had a hell of a scare today, which is more than understandable.”

“Can I get off bed rest now?” Dana asked as she nibbled on a saltine cracker one of the nurses gave her earlier.
