My Little Red (BOOK 1)

59-Sleep Well

•
It's been 3 hours since Blair has been rolled into the room. Landon is on the phone taking in a harsh voice. Dalton is pacing outside Blairs room. I'm just sitting here with Kaden worried for Blair. A few minutes later the doctor comes out of the room. Landon gets off his phone and turns to the doctor with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Is she okay?" Dalton worries.

"She is. You are allowed to come in now because she is about to have a baby." The doctor says walking back into the room with Dalton following closely behind.

"Should we have Kaden stay with someone because we don't know how long we will be here." I ask.

"Let me see if Crawford can get here." He says mink linking Crawford. After he finishes he nods his head and we wait for Crawford. Denise and Knox then come running down the hall in there Pajamas.

"We were getting ready for bed when we got the news." Denise says hugging me tight. Landon just narrows his eyes at Knox. Crawford then walks down the hall to where we are. I hand him the diaper bag, but am hesitant about giving him Kaden.

"It's okay Olivia. I'll take care of Kaden. My little sister can play with him. She loves babies. She babysits because apparently that's what teenagers do." He says with a slight laugh. I give him Kaden. Landon and I kiss him and we watch as Crawford leaves. We sit back down in the hospital chairs and wait for the news. The door flies open and Dalton had the biggest smile on his face.

"The baby has been born." He says. Landon does a bro hug and congrats him. Then we heard Blairs stressed cry for Dalton. He runs back inside quickly and wait for the news again.

Ten minuets later Dalton walks out of the room and has a teary smile on his face. "Blair had another baby." We all go hug him, but the doctor pulls Dalton back in the room again.

"It's twins!" Denise squeaks hugging me while we jump up and down. Knox and Landon are having their own conversation quietly as we celebrate. Dalton then walks out with a sad look on his face. He has tears on his face.

"Our last baby was just born. She just died a little bit ago. She was born breathing but something was wrong with her heart." He sobs. I hug him tightly and he cries on my shoulder. I'm rubbing soothing circles on his back, calming him down. After a little bit his breathing is back down to normal and he pulls away.

"Thank you. Would you like to meet the babies. We already named them." He says softly. We all rush into the room to see Blair holding 2 pink bundles in her hands, she looks like she is half asleep. She looks up at us and gives us a tired smile. We follow Dalton to the side of the bed Dalton picks up one of the babies.

"This is Skylar Madison Carpenter. She is the oldest. I can tell them apart by the birthmarks. Some identical twins have birthmarks in the same spot but my baby girls don't. Skylar's is a small tan spot on the back of her knee. She is also heavier." He rambles looking down at Skylar with so much love in his eyes.

"Would you like to hold her?" He asks me. I nod my head quickly and he carefully hands her to me, like she is made out of glass. I hold her to me and Landon smiles down at his niece.

"Skylar is a nice name." Landon says, putting his hand through her already there hair on her head.

"Now this is Sarah Kimaya Carpenter. Her birthmark is on the side of her elbow. Denise would you like to hold her?" Dalton asks. Denise nods her head and she holds Sarah. Knox looks like he's planning his future with Denise. I can tell he wants a child with Denise. She may not see it yet but I see it.

"Hey, Blair. You look exhausted! I think we should go to give you sometime to rest. Have a great night. We love you." I say hugging her and Dalton, then kissing the babies heads.

We grab the birth certificate and head back home. Landon and I talk about babies and weddings. Let me tell you something I am excited for my future with him and Kaden. Once we get back to the house we walk inside to see Crawford watching TV with Kaden sleeping on him. He turns his head towards us and we thank him.

"It's getting really dark outside Crawford. You should wait until morning to go back to the pack house." I tell him. He rubs the back of his neck.

"I don't want to impose on you guys. I'll be fine." He says.

"Crawford. We have a guest room that is ready for someone to stay in. It's an order to stay." I tell him. He laughs and grabs a extra blanket and heads to the extra bedroom upstairs. Landon is on the couch holding Kaden and dozing off just like Crawford was doing.

"Come on, Love. It's time to go to bed." I yawn, grabbing Kaden and heading up to the nursery. I sat in the rocking chair and turned on the noise machine. I started rubbed circles on Kaden's back and softly hummed the tune to "Humble and Kind." I guess I started to doze off because I opened my eyes to Landon lightly shaking me.

"It's time for bed. I just put Kaden in the crib. I'll carry you." He says grabbing under my thighs and lifting me up. I wrap my arms around his neck and he carries me to bed. He lays me down and I throw my dress off and he takes off his. I lay my head on his chest once he gets back in bed, I start to fall asleep. The last words I hear are:

I love you my beautiful Olivia.
