I know that I shouldn’t hog him like this. I know that I shouldn’t be this close, that I need to be more careful around him, but I just can’t. I can’t believe that we nearly lost him again.

When they came in to hand over the babies, to have them checked and cleaned, alarms went off in the other room. Immediately people swung into motion and so many things started happening at the same time. People rushing around. All we knew was that our babies were in the room with us, getting weighed and measured and cleaned, and in the next room our mate was fighting for his life.

They wouldn’t let us in the other room, they wouldn’t let us near Gail. And I felt like such a bad father at that moment for caring more for my mate than my babies. But everything indicated that the babies were okay considering how early they were born, and my mate wasn’t.

We’d been fighting for so long to not have him taken away from us, and something like this might still take him. Lucien’s arms around me helped some, but I knew that even he was focused on what was happening in the other room.

“You need to stay strong.” Lucien’s voice against my neck was the only thing keeping me from falling apart. “No matter what happens, you need to stay strong.” I could hear the fear in his voice too, could feel it in the tension in his body.

It probably didn’t even take minutes, but waiting like that, waiting for people to tell us that Gail was okay, it felt like hours. I know that we should have gone over to see our babies, but we could only stare at the door, stare at the door that separated us from our mate.

When a doctor finally came out of the room, we were on him immediately. The man, probably knowing we were there, was able to keep us at a distance, but not easily. “He’s okay now. They’re prepping him to go to the recovery room. You can see him as soon as he wakes up. For now, your babies need you.”

And as we turned around, two male nurses held out two small bundles, wrapped in white blankets, their tiny faces scrunched up. Our babies. Our babies.

I held him, or her, close, nuzzling the little person in my hands. So small, so little. I knew that they were born early, way too early, so they’d be small. But just holding them, their size still surprised me.
