• "Shakespear being read by a firey latina woman, the man is rolling his grave." He teased lightly as he came into the living room, shrugging off his coat and leaning down to take off his boots. They had been pretty blessed all winter with only have one large snow starm but the weather seemed to be making up for it now because it was a near white out outside. He shook off his head, getting the snow flakes off before they melted and after a moment he finally stepped all the way into the living room. "I take it you found the books Cammy brought yesterday?" He walked by the couch, dropping a kiss to the top of her head as he made his way into the kitchen to fix himself a drink of hot cocoa with a large helping of baileys added to it. He had a thing for warm drinks lately, he got chilled deep in his bones and it was hard to get rid of it but the cocoa and alcohol seemed to help a bit. (NT) -- Joey, 11:29:07 01/17/07 Wed

• She narrowed her eyes at him in playful contempt "Well the baby doesn;t understand English yet and the words are way too complicated how he wrote them so he can spin down there for all I care" She grinned a touch and closed the book , setting it down on the floor beside the couch. "You're baby is driving me crazy..." She murmered just loud enough for Joey to hear. "He's been kicking all day" She didn;t know that it was a he- it was just a guess- she figured no girl could be this cruel. "Yeah I found the books... and the cookies." (NT) -- Nina, 11:36:22 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• He rolled his eyes, looking over at her from over his shoulder where he was standing in the kitchen. "He does too understand English." He stated, narrowing his eyes at her. "Since that is basically all I speak." He knew a few spanish words and phrases, enough to get him by, but he wasn't fluent in it like Nina, Rio or Lysia had been. He hated when Nina and Rio went off on a tangent and he had no clue what was going on. He was thinking about that for a moment so it took a second for her words to sink in but when they did he was immediatly taking himself over to sit next to her after taking a long drink of his chocolate concotion. "She brought you cookies? What kind? I didn't get cookies." He honestly looked slightly offended at that, that Nina had gotten cookies and he hadn't. (NT) -- Joey, 11:45:33 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• She cocked a brow importantly at his offended look "White chocolate and macadamia nut ones... my favourite ones... and you aren;t carrying an overdue human being around with you so you don't deserve cookies." She honestly didn;t mean it when she went off into spanish mid-conversation with Rio. She'd been teaching Cammy some spanish too, but Joey had never really taken to it- just picked up the odd words from her. "He understands spanish better... he never listens to me when I talk at him in English. " She sat up slowly, as elegantly as she could, when he came and sat with her, leaning in to brush a kiss to his lips "I saved you a cookie anyway". (NT) -- Nina, 11:51:15 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• "Well, he listens to me just fine in English. Maybe he just doesn't want to listen to you." He teased lightly as he looked over at her before he shifted to gently support her back when she leaned forward and met her halfway to give her a sweet kiss hello, lingering for a moment before he made sure she got settled back comfortably into the couch again. He was a little concerned that she hadn't gone into labor yet but he was sure that the baby knew when he was ready and was kind of just trusting nature to take it's course. "Just one cookie? You only saved me one?" He questioned, pouting again. "I am going to have to call Cam and talk to her about this. Or, actually, now that her and Travis are hooked up..I can harass him about it and he can get her to make me lots of cookies by...withholding sex..or something." (NT) -- Joey, 11:58:48 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• She grinned a touch "Well its a big cookie! And I'm feeding your baby in here- You're lucky I saved you any you know" She settled back in the couch again, laughing a little at his comment about Travis withholding sex "Girls can go without longer than guys can- he'll cave way before she does." She had been concerned that the baby hadn;t come yet- but she'd spoken to her health care worker pretty much every day and she had reassured her that a week over wasn;t a big deal, but if it went on for much longer they'd probably take her into hospital and induce her. Nina was kinda planning on a short trip to the hospital- in and out with no complications- to keep the costs down. (NT) -- Nina, 12:05:45 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• He sighed dramatically, his brows furrowed boyishly as he pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders. "I am still a growing boy, you know." He stated before he frowned and raised a brow. "Excuse me, I have gone without sex for extended amounts of time, thank you very much. And Travis is the freaking picture of self control." He grinned lightly before he quieted his voice and murmured to her. "You would have loved to see it the other day, it was...cute..I guess. I dunno. He was over here watching the game and she showed up and they got all awkward...she left but took my keys instead of hers so I knew she was outside...he followed her out and kissed her in the rain and all that and then took her home with him...I'm telling you Nina, the boy is whipped." (NT) -- Joey, 12:17:20 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• Nina grinned as she heard about the goings on in the rain, though Cammy had already told her anyway. "I miss all the romantic stuff... 'though I don;t think you were ever whipped on me" She narrowed her eyes at him playfully , pursing her lips and finding her fingers, linking them into his lovingly "Cammy's all girlish and cute about it... She already told me about the kiss int he reins... and all the other gory details." She grinned gently, she loved the couple, they were both really good people and they deserved to be happy. (NT) -- Nina, 12:21:59 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• He smirked lightly, looking down at her. "You would hate it I was whipped, you'd get bored in no time." He grinned, reaching up to brush a strand of curly hair back that had escaped it's tie. He knew she felt like she was huge and unattractive right now but to be honest he thought she was beautiful, so gorgeous carrying his child. He was a little nervous about being a daddy, he wasn't sure he would be able to handle it plus everything else he had going on in his life. The last thing he wanted to do though was be an absentee dad, him and Jason hadn't had the best upbringing and he was intent on not having his own child have that thought when he was older. He would do his best and that was all he could do and Nina would be an amazing mother... (NT) -- Joey, 12:31:44 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• She kept her gaze narrowed on him, though a slight smirk tugged at her full lips. She would have gotten bored if he'd have fallen whim to her and been in her back pocket all the time, she enjoyed the argueing and the break-ups and make-ups. It was just who they were, and to her their relationship was perfect. Nina hadn;t gotten any nerves about parenthood since she'd resolved herself to keeping the baby. The only nerves she'd had throughout this whole pregnancy were in the beginning when she'd had to tell Joey about it. She had been convinced then that he'd leave her. "Help me up? I need to pee..." She asked, holding her arm out to him, managing to get to her feet. As soon as she did, though a pain shot through her and she gripped hard to his arm, her lips parting as she exhaled heavily, closing her eyes "Holy crap" she growled between gritted teeth, her eyes squeezed tightly closed. (NT) -- Nina, 12:40:57 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• He shifted to stand and help her up, his eyes on her for a moment before she suddenly flinched and gasped. His eyes widened for a moment, his head cocked to the side as he swallowed heavily. Yeah, that wasn't a contraction, he wasn't ready to have a baby yet, he would just pretend that didn't happen. "You pee more than a racehorse." He stated, completely and totally trying to just ignore the fact that his very pregnant girlfriend could quite possibly in labor. He wasn't ready for it so he refused to believe that it was happening. Simple enough. His hand supported the small of her back, his eyes down on her. "Do you want to go upstairs?" (NT) -- Joey, 12:49:43 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• Nina cried out softly and shook her head, leaning forward a little as she tried to relieve the pain in her abdomin "I wanna go to the hospital... it hurts." She didn;t notice his denial, she was too busy trying to breath through the intense pain, like bad cramps. "You have to drive me there now..." (NT) -- Nina, 12:56:19 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• He frowned, shaking his head. "No...it can't be time. It's supposed to take awhile, a long while, before you have to go to the hospital, even if the contractions have started." He stated softly, as if trying to convince her. "You are probably just having indegestion or something. Nothing to worry about. You should just take a shower and then everything will be fine." He nodded again, pursing his lips. Damn it, why wasn't Jason home? Where the hell was his brother when he needed him?? (NT) -- Joey, 14:20:31 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• She lifted her face upto him at that, breathless , tears forming in her eyes. She bit at her lip and nodded softly, trustingly, her eyes fixed on his, believing him. She hadn;t been scared about any of this, until right now. She gulped in heavy breaths, her brow furrowed. The pain subsided a little but it was still there- she had assumed the pain would go away as soon as the contraction was over. "Okay..." She released him arm but still clutched at her stomach , tuirning her gaze to the stairs and begining over in that direction slowly, heading upto the bathroom (NT) -- Nina, 15:08:16 01/17/07 Wed

  ---

• "Ah Fuck." He growled out, shaking his head and going back to catch her before she hit the stairs. "Go get in the car, I'll get your bags." He didn't want to admit that this was happening but the pain on her face was impossible to ignore and that was what had him bounding up the stairs two at a time to get to their bedroom and grab her already prepared overnight bag. His cell phone was whipped out, quickly dialing his brothers number. The phone was held between his ear and his head as he took the stairs three at times in his rush to get out to the car with her. (NT) -- Joey, 06:31:42 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Nina never cried- she was tough and hardy and she could deal with just about anything, but the pain she was experiencing right now just didn't feel natural and she was terrified. She headed out to the car slowly, clenshing her teeth against the pain and easing herself into the passenger seat when she got there. // Jason's answerphone clicked on with the familiar message and beep. Jason was done working but heading out to lacey's boyfriends place to pick her up... or ex boyfriend now he guessed... he wasn't sure how it was all working out but Lacey said it was okay and he just took it in turns with Joey to do the pick-ups and drop-offs at the stables attatched to the big house. He noticed the phone ringing but just as soon as he went to pick up it switched to answerphone. Jason gave it a minute or two before he called Joey back. "Hey bro...what;s up?" (NT) -- Nina, 06:42:55 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• His eyes narrowed as his call waiting kicked in while he was leaving his brother a rather abrupt message, quickly he switched over. "I am taking Nina to the hospital, meet us there." He instructed, throwing the bag into the back of the truck and sliding into the passanger side. His eyes drifted to his girlfriend as he held the phone between his shoulder and his ear and shifted the truck into reverse, his other hand moving to squeeze her leg softly, reassuringly. He didn't want her to panic so he was trying to maintain some resemblence of calm now that he had come back to reality. (NT) -- Joey, 15:21:52 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Jasons brow instantly furrowed and he beeped his horn for Lacey, telling her to hurry, which the girl did, breaking into a run as she headed for the truck, pulling herself in beside her big brother with a confused frown "We'll be right there, Lacey's with me." He mirror'd his twins actions, balencing the phone between his shoulder and ear and jerking the stick into reverse, spinning the wheel with his right hand. // Her fingers dug into the seat as he reversed and she had another sharp stab of pain amongst the constant dull pain. She groaned out and whimpered Joeys name, beginniing to feel more and more like this wasn't right. (NT) -- Nina, 15:35:49 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• He glanced over at his girlfriend with worry in his gaze, his hand lifting to take hers and bring it to his lips. "Hurry." He stated to his brother before he flipped the phone shut and easily and compently navigated his way through traffic. "Easy baby, we'll be there in just a few minutes..." He murmured reassuringly to her, everyonce in a while glancing at her out of the corner of his eyes. She looked pale even beneath her tan and that worried him and there was a light sheen of perspiration covering her face. His eyes narrowed and he sped up a little.... (NT) -- Joey, 15:43:01 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• By the time they reached the hospital she was close to loosing consciousness... her head was woozy and dizzy and she could barely keep herself sat up, barely hold her head up. Jason and Lacey arrived just a few minutes before Joey did- being a little closer to the hospital than the house was, and lacey ran ahead to warnt hem Nina was being brought in in labour and starting to fill out the forms for them while jason parked up , meeting Joey at his care right as it pulled up. A frown instantly appeared on his features as he opened Nina's car door and saw how limb and out of it she looked, and he picked her up out of the seat, taking her around to his twion as he climbed out of the car, his blue eyes locked on his brothers "She's bleeding" he murmered in hushed tones, concern tense over his features, handing her over and taking Joey's car keys from him so he could park the car up. (NT) -- Nina/Jason, 15:51:21 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• His jaw clenched when he saw the blood in the seat and gently took his girlfriend into his arms, holding her carefully like she could break at any moment. "We are going to get help for you baby, just hold on alright?" He murmured softly, going through the automatic doors and looking around for Lacey. When a doctor came up, Joey's eyes lifted, looking boyish, childish and scared. "She's bleeding..." He murmured, his brow furrowed as he looked back down at Nina with concern. He was scared for her, scared for their baby and just...well scared in general. (NT) -- Joey, 15:56:19 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Jason tookt he keys and slid intot he drivers seat, pulling the car away from the entrance and driving it over tot he parking lot. Lacey glanced up as the automatic doors opened and pointed the doctor in her older brothers direction, becoming concerned as she saw Nina being carried. She rushed to finish the forms and pushed them hastily back at the nurse , rushing forward witht he doctor but staying out of the way, not wanting to interfere or get in anyones way. An intern rushed over with a wheelchair for Nina, who was barely lucid by this point, barely conscious. She was bleeding out and both her and the babies heartbeats were slowing. The doctors rushed her up to an OR with barely time to prep her or the room. Lacey rushed along behind Joey, Jason running to catch up with them. (NT) -- Nina, 16:06:35 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• He frowned heavily as she was taken away from him, his brow furrowed heavily as he demanded answers from the doctors. "What is going on?? Why is she bleeding so badly?!" He questioned frantically, his head cocked to the side as he let out a low breath and ran his hand over his face. "Jason..." He murmured turning around to look at his brother as if he could fix all of this. Joey was usually the responsible one, the one who could fix everything but not right now, right now he was at a loss and scared and worried and unsure of what was going on and he just wanted Jason to...do something to make it better. (NT) -- Joey, 16:10:02 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Jason didn;t have the answers for him, however much he was desperate to provide them. His hand squeezed his brothers shoulder in compassion and helplessness as he shook his head a touch, looking up as a doctor came back out from the room to report back, though he couldn't seem to determin which of the twins he was supposed to be talking to "Your girlfriend has a ruptured uterus ... we've put her on an iv and that will help to restore her blood volume to normal and then we will proceed with a caesarean section... the baby should be fine...". Lacey tucked herself to Joey's side supportively, hugging him as her concerned gaze travelled past the doctor into the swinging doors of the OR. (NT) -- Nina, 16:19:39 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• He shook his head as if he didn't understand. How did this happen? The doctors said that even though she was a bit overdue she was fine and healthy. They said she was fine! His eyes narrowed on the doctor as his arms wrapped around his sister for support, resting his chin on the top of her head. "What about Nina?" He questioned, he had said that the baby was fine but he didn't say anything about Nina and he needed Nina to be ok. They could make more babies but there was only one Nina and he couldn't live without her. (NT) -- Joey, 16:26:28 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• The doctor hestitated at that and glanced at the mans siblings before continuing "We're going to do everything we can... if we can keep her stablized and control the bleeding she should be fine.... though we may have to perform a hysterectomy if we can't repair the walls of her uterus... The sooner we can get her to stablize the better her chances will be... we're doing absolutely everything we can for her ... we'll keep you updated." (NT) -- Doctor, 16:34:30 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• His hand ran over his face, fingers fisting as he turned around and spun for a moment before he turned back to the doctor. "We were here a week ago and they said everything was fine. What the hell happened?!" He growled out, not understanding and getting very close to panicing. He just wanted Nina to be ok. He wasn't even thinking about the baby right now, he was completely focused on his girlfriend and making sure she was ok. She was the most important thing in this world to him and he needed to know she would be ok. (NT) -- Joey, 16:37:43 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• The doctor could understand the young mans frustraitions and concerns, but he really couldn;t make any promises he couldn't keep. "These things can't be predicted, they just happen... nothing could have prevented it.... We're going to do absolutely everything we can, I have to get back in there now, but I will keep you updated" With that the doctor retreated back into the OR, leaving Jason running a hand over his face, feeling tense and stressed- his twins emotions affecting him as much as they ever did. Lacey chewed at her lip fraughtly, her hand reaching to rub Joeys back a moment before she spoke "I'll get you some coffee... " It seemed the most helpful thing she could do right now, and she took of down the hall to get her brothers some drinks. (NT) -- Lacey, 16:50:16 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• He dropped down onto the chair, his hands dropping into his head as he groaned. "Am I a horrible person Jay?" He questioned softly, his eyes dropped to the ground. "I don't even care about the baby right now, I mean, I want her to be ok but...god, all I want is Nina. I would have made her get rid of the baby as soon as we found out if I had known this was going to happen..." His eyes were on the ground, tortured and hurting. He didn't want to not care about his baby but he just loved Nina so much that he wanted her desperately. (NT) -- Joey, 16:55:39 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Jason slumped down beside his brother and shook his head slightly, resting it back against the cream hospital walls "That doesn't make you a horrible person... just makes you in love with your girlfriend.... You've never met the baby... it has no identity yet... more can be made.... can;t make another Nina...." He set his jaw a little, swallowing hard. They were all so close... but he felt especially close to nina- she was carrying his neice or nephew... she was his brothers girl... she was family more or less. "She;s tough Joey... she'll be alright..." He nodded a touch. Maybe the doctors couldnt say it... but he could. (NT) -- Jason, 17:03:17 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• He nodded slowly, running his hand over his face to hide any tear tracks he might have on his cheeks. "Yeah...yeah she's tough...bad ass." He nodded a little, biting his lip as he let out a slow breath. "Yeah, really tough...she could kick my ass if she was pissed enough at me." He smiled wanely, his brow furrowed gently as he looked over at his brother. "Have you ever been in love Jay? Really loved a girl? It's the scariest thing I've ever been through, for real...scares the hell out of me." His jaw tightened, his brow furrowed. (NT) -- Joey, 17:09:45 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Jason tightened his jaw a little and drew a breath, before nodding slowly "Yeah Joe... I think so..." He was falling more and more in love with Mackenzi every day... to the point were he couldn;t imagine life without her. "Nina could kick your ass... mine too ... crazy ass latina girl.... you always went for the crazy ass girls..." He smirked just ever so slightly, trying to lift his brothers spirits a little. (NT) -- Jay, 17:23:08 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• He let out a soft breath and gave his brother a hesitant smile. "Yeah..she's threatened to kick your ass a few times too...and she's not crazy...she's just...opinionated." He smirked a little, looking up towards the door of the O.R. "You would think she would have something to say about Nina by now.." He murmured, even though it had only been a few minutes, Lacy hadn't even gotten back from getting coffee yet but he was damn impatient to get some sort of word on his girlfriend. "I am going to ask her to marry me...soon as the baby is born and everything is ok." (NT) -- Joey, 17:28:33 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Jason smiled a touch at that and nodded a little. It didn;t suprise him really... He knew his brother well. "Good... Make an honest woman out of her and tie her down..." He winked and let a smirk flicker at his lips. Lacey reappeared as if on cue, smiling a little as she handed the boys the plastic cups of coffee before sitting down on the other side of Joey, taking his hand gently. Severl minutes later the doors swung open and an intern appeared, approaching them "Nina is stablized and they're proceeding with the caesarean section now... You can go in if you want... be there with her...." (NT) -- Jason, 17:40:40 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• Immediatly, without a seconds hesitation, he jumped up, nearly knocking over his coffee in the process of handing it over to Lacey. Immediatly, he followed the doctor and hurried to get scrubbed up, finally making his way in to where he could see his girlfriend. His breath caught in his throat and he could feel tears stinging his eyes to the point of being in pain but he finally caught his breath and his cool and took a step forward. "Is she...awake?" He questioned, his brow furrowed softly as he looked unsurely towards a nurse. (NT) -- Jory, 17:48:17 01/18/07 Thu

  ---

• The nurse nodded a little and offered a smile. It was much safer for the baby and the mother to use a local anethetic rather than a general- so Nina was awake and aware- though still very drowsy and sedated. The nurse lead him over to stand by her head, her long brown curls were hiden by a plastic cap and tubes were going into her, linked up to the IV that was keeping her alive. As soon as Joey got up by Nina's head her eyes darted up to him, no trace of fear or anxiety in them... if anything she was calm and resigned- something she was rarely. The doctors proceeded with the c-section, while Nina just looked up at Joey, a single tear slipping from her brig brown eyes as the babies cries filled the OR. (NT) -- Nina, 02:21:34 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• He was glad she was calm because he was pretty sure if he looked down at her stomach he was going to throw up everywhere. It was all he could do to gaze into her eyes, at her face, and not freak out. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were focused, his large hand moving to cover her hair at the top of his forehead. He just murmured softly to her, telling her he loved her, that he was proud of her and that everything was going to be ok. His voice was thick and husky, evidence of his emotional state. When the baby's cry filled the room his breath caught and his eyes flew up, catching sight of his child as she was brought into the world. (NT) -- Joey, 09:22:32 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• The baby was taken straight into an incubator, just to monitor her heartbeat since there had been the drop in pressure in the womb. The doctor looked to Joey and spoke through his mask "You need to go with your baby now... we have to proceed with Nina's surgery immediately..." The nurse moved to him and procceded to usher him along with the incubator that was being rolled out of the OR. They covered Nina's face with a mask and put her out, though as soon as they did, as the baby and Joey reached the swinging doors, her heart monitor started beeping and her levels dopped right down, putting her heart into cardiac arrest. "Get them out of here..." The doctor commanded- as a couple of nurses went to urge Joey out with the newborn little girl. (NT) -- Nina, 09:39:57 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• His breath caught and he looked back at Nina but was quickly pushed through the doors and taken to the nursery with his daughter. A low breath escaped his lips as he watched the baby get cleaned up, checked out and then handed to him wrapped in a fuzzy pink blanket. He was a little unsure for all of five seconds but then it just seemed natural the way he was holding his little girl. His brow furrowed heavily as he looked up at the nurse, his eyes shining. "Can you get my family, please?" He requested, wanting his brother and sister here with him to meet their new niece. (NT) -- Joey, 09:47:08 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• The nurse smiled gently and nodded, slipping from the nursery to go and find his siblings. Several moments later Jason opened the door and let Lacey through ahead of him, resting a hand on his little sisters shoulder as he followed her over to where his twin stood. Lacey bit at her lower lip and peered into her brothers arms at her little neice "Is she alright?" Lacey murmered... she seemed to be. Jason drew a deep breath as he looked at his neice, feeling as close tot he little baby as he would if it was his, probably because of the strong bond he and joey shared. "And Nina? Is she okay?" He finished off. (NT) -- Nina, 10:06:08 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• He nodded a little as he looked down at his daughter for a long moment, taking in her tiny features. He couldn't really say she looked like either one of them because all she really looked like to him was a wrinkly old man. His lip tucked between his teeth as he looked up to his siblings. "She's all red...but that's normal they said..." He let out a soft breath, shifting to place the baby into his little sisters arms. "Nina's being operated on again...I don't know whats going on. None of it makes sense." (NT) -- Joey, 10:10:38 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• Lacey swallowed heavily as Joey placed the little girl into her arms. Lacey was pretty tall and skinny, though she was starting to grow into herself now- her arms had a lot of strength from the horse riding and her legs were the same, but you wouldn;t call her muscley... she felt giant in comparision to her little neice though "Oh my god... shes so beautiful..." Lacey murmered. Jason gave his sister a slightly unsure look- he wouldn;t exactly call the wrinkled little girl beautiful- but she was amazing. He glanced to Joey as he spoke, his brow furrowed slightly "There probably just stitching her up and stuff ... Do you know what your gonna call her?" (NT) -- Jason, 10:16:18 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head lightly, slightly distracted thinking about Nina. He didn't want to worry his family though so he kept quiet about his girlfriend and instead just shook his head. "We haven't decided yet, Nina had a bunch of names she liked..." He smiled a little at Lacey as she held her niece, his little sister was such an angel and he loved her to death. He probably didn't tell her that enough either, hell he didn't tell anyone that enough. Had he ever told Jason that he would be lost without him? That the other half of him would be missing and he didn't think he would properly be able to function? No, of course not...but he needed too. (NT) -- Joey, 10:26:22 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• The baby closed her hand around one of lacey's long blond curls which made her smile a little. She knew her brothers loved her- just as much as she loved them... and they could probably all afford to say it a little more often. Jason smirked a touch at Lacey's awe and shifted to take the baby "Quit hogging her... its my turn now... " he murmered quietly, returning Laceys smile as she ever so carefully handed the little girl over. Jason took her in his strong arms and cocked about "Wow... she looks just like we're gonna look fifty years from now... congratulations man" He smirked a little at his twin, knowing that he was preoccupied worrying about nina but trying to keep things calm and light hearted. (NT) -- Jason, 10:33:03 01/19/07 Fri

• He laughed softly at his brother, thankful for his distraction. "Maybe what you'll look like, not me." He stated with a smirk and a shake of his head before he looked over to Lacey, shifting to pull her into his embrace, hugging her into his chest. "Thanks for being here baby doll.." He murmured to her, pressing a kiss to the top of her head before he looked back to Jason. "I should probably call and leave a message at the house, I am sure people are wondering what the hell is going on..." He knew for sure that Astrid and Rio especially would be worried... (NT) -- Joey, 10:44:34 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• Lacey hugged Joey tightly, feeling for him, wanting to help him but knowing there was nothing she could do "I can do that... you should wait incase they come back with news..." She looked up at her brother who was just a little taller than she was "do you need anything bringing or picking up?" She was sure Rio or someone wouldn't mind in the least. She'd call Cammy and Kaden too, let them both know- Kaden had always een close with Nina- and Lysia when she'd been alive. (NT) -- Lacey, 10:50:01 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head softly, brushing his lips against her forehead once more. "No...just come back after your done with the phone calls, ok? Thanks lacey..." He smiled softly, finally letting her go before he dropped down into the rocker in the corner of the nursery. Once Lacey was out of the room he finally spoke openly with his brother. "She was in cardiac arrest when I left the room." He stated softly, his jaw set. Nina had to be ok, she had to be. He couldn't raise a little girl on his own, there was no way in hell. (NT) -- Joey, 10:53:03 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• Jason watched their little sister leave, glancing back to Joey as he dropped into the chair. They tended to be a little over protective of Lacey- the girl was seventeen years old but still they hated her to have to experience bad things- not that they'd been able to shelter her from any of that while they were in Juvi and she was alone with their mother and her paedophile boyfriend. He set his jaw a touch as Joey spilt what was on his mind, and lowered his gaze to the little girl. He wanted to tell Joey that she would be fine... but at that point, he didn't know that she would be. "Was she awake?" (NT) -- Jason, 11:02:22 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• "They knocked her out...she was awake during the C-section but she didn't say anything to me..." He let out a soft breath, raking his hand down his face slowly as he leaned back and watched his brother and his daughter. "She has to be ok, god couldn't hate me that much to leave me with a little girl and no Nina. I mean, I've done some bad shit in my life Jay but nothing to deserve that..." His brow furrowed as he let out a soft breath and tipped his head back, closing his eyes against the pain swelling in his chest. (NT) -- Joey, 11:09:38 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• Jason laid the baby back in her crib and went to sit beside him. He didn't point out that if god even existed- he had long forsaken all of them. He didn;t say anything.... he just sat there with his brother, being there for him in this worst hour. Lacey returned ten minutes or so later, and seeing her brothers together she left them alone, choosing instead to go and sit by her neice, glancing up at the nurses as they came and did their routine checks. They all sat and said nothing for a long time, before finally the doctor that had spoken tot hem first, along with the intern that had come to fetch Joey, headed into the room together. Lacey sat up and Jason stood , all of them fraught and afraid of the news that was about to be delivered to them. (inside) -- Lacey, 11:25:22 01/19/07 Fri
  • He sat up immediatly and then stood, his knees nearly giving out on him when he said that Nina was stabelized. Like he cared about making more babies? Didn't bother him in the least, he just wanted his girlfriend. He had to grab his brother for uspport before he cleared his throat and gained his composure. "Can I see her now?" He questioned, his brow furrowed heavily as he looked at the nurse. "Is she awake? She's going to be ok?" He was asking a lot of questions, he knew, but he was overwhelmed and concerned and worried and sick to his stomach...all at the same time. (NT) -- Joey, 11:37:31 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• The doctor offered a slight smile when he was asked if the young man could see his girlfriend, nodding a little "Yes you can see her... she's still under the anesthetic but she'll be coming round soon... Nina's going to be just fine. The nurses tell me that you babies vitals are just fine, so we'll bring the baby in shortly so Nina can see her as soon as she wakes up. Dr Hammond will take you too her and answer any questions you might have- post op notes please Dr Hammond", he added, before turning and heading out of the room// Lacey breathed a sigh of releif and smiled, looking back to the little girl and letting her index finger brush the little girl's tiny hand. (NT) -- Lacey, 11:46:38 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• He nodded, looking over to his little girl as he smiled warmly at her and his sister before he spoke. "Stay with my baby, Lacey, alright? I don't want her to be alone." He squeezed his brothers shoulder before he headed into the hallway to follow the Doctor. As soon as he was in the room he was pulling up a chair next to the bed, his eyes on his girlfriend. He didn't want to wake her up, she needed to rest and get some sleep so he remained pretty quiet even as he held her hand and just watched her. She was so beautiful to him and he couldn't wait till she met their baby girl... (NT) -- Joey, 11:50:29 01/19/07 Fri

• Inside -- Nina, 12:12:44 01/19/07 Fri
  • He smiled softly, lovingly at her as he brushed her hair back from her face. "Hey baby..." He murmured, nodding to the nurse to thank her for bringing the baby and looking out for his siblings. His attention promptly went back to his girlfriend though and he smiled back down at her. "We have a little girl...she's funny looking." He stated honestly, his hand shifting to brush through her hair, brushing it back from her face as he looked down at her with such infinite tenderness in his eyes. "God,I love you, you scared the hell out of me baby." (NT) -- Nina, 12:38:39 01/19/07 Fri
  • Nina couldn;t help but break into a grin when he told her their daughter was funny-looking "Must take after you huh?" She murmered quietly. She was in pain but she was too excited to care "Where's my baby girl?" She wanted to see what had been driving her crazy these past nine months and a week. She wasn;t sure what had happened to her or why, it could wait till she'd met her little girl. (NT) -- Nina, 12:51:46 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• He smiled, looking over to the rolling bassinet type thing that the baby was in. "She's sleeping, she sleeps alot already..." He stood up then, going to collect her out of her bed and bring her over to Nina. A yawn escaped his lips as he settled down to give the baby over, he had a long, draining experience that day and was a little tired and overwhelmed. "Lacey called everyone..." His sister had probably let everyone know there was complications too. He'd have a lot of explaining to do.... (NT) -- Joey, 12:59:57 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• Nina sat herself up just a little more, wincing at the pain in her abdomin a little but it was quickly forgotten as the baby was placed into her arms, her brows raising softly at the little girl in awe. "Oh wow... you're right.... she does look funny..." Nina grinned a little and shifted her gaze back down to their daughter. "Has she been crying much? I don't even have any girl names picked out.... I was sure she was a boy..." She grinned a little, glancing back up to Joey "Lacey and Jason are here?" (NT) -- Nina, 13:19:57 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• "Yeah, they were here the whole time. I am sure everyone else is going to show up any minute." He tipped his head, a low breath escaped his lips as he smiled. "She hasn't cried hardly at all except for in the very begining but I mean who wouldn't cry if they were tossed out here from their nice warm home?" He smirked a little, leaning down to look at her more thoroughly. "How you feeling baby?" He questioned softly, his hand shifting to run over her leg softly, just needing to touch her, to reassure himself that she was hole. (NT) -- Joey, 13:40:06 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• she gazed down at her baby. It just felt so strange that she was in her arms instead of in her belly... but she felt so right there. She looked up to Joey as he asked how she was and she smiled a little bit "I'm okay... hurt like hell but its worth it.... are you okay? I'm sorry I scared you..." She murmered softly, so as not to disturb the sleeping baby. (NT) -- Nina, 14:01:32 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• "I'm fine..." Other possibly having taken five years off of his life, he was fine. His brow furrowed a little as looked down at her, brushing back her hair once more. "We gotta think of a name...and you need some sleep..." So did he for that matter. "Why don't you try and get a nap before everyone starts showing up to see you and the baby?" He was sure that everyone would be showing up soon enough and it would be hard for them to get any rest once that started. There was a couch on the edge of the wall that could work for a bed for him and he was comfortable stretching out there while she napped with the baby. (NT) -- Joey, 14:14:13 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• She felt drowsy and a nap would do her good. She smiled a touch and nodded, looking down at the baby once more "Can you put her back in her crib? I don't want to drop her or anything..." (NT) -- Nina, 14:18:25 01/19/07 Fri

  ---

• He took the baby from her but didn't put her back in the crib. Instead, he stretched out on the couch himself,the baby securely on his chest as he closed his eyes and let himself drift off to sleep. They both could use a bit of rest to get them through the next few days until they could go home and just relax together, get used to being a family. (NT) -- joey, 15:32:59 01/19/07 Fri
