"good or bad?" madelyn asked, worried coating her words.
"both," the o.b. replied.
"what's the good news?" madelyn asked.
"the good news is you are having twins."
"oh, my god. twins? are you sure?"
"we're sure."
"that's- that's amazing. now, what's the bad news?"
"one of your babies umbilical cord is wrapped around the other babies neck." the o.b. informed.
tears started to slowly roll down madelyn's face.
"is- is the baby alright? is it alive? is my baby okay?"
"we don't know for sure. it would be ideal to book another ultrasound."
"yes. yes, book the ultrasound."
"okay. how's tomorrow sounding?"
"tomorrow's great. around 4:30?"
"yeah, we have an open slot."
"great. that's great, i'll see you tomorrow." madelyn ended the call, letting her tears run down her face slowly. she stared at her phone before dialing alex's name.
the phone rung once before alex picked up.
"hello."
"alex. there's- there's something wrong."
"where are you?"
"outside o.r. 3." madelyn answered before he hung up.
madelyn sat down on the bench outside the o.r. taking in the information that she had been given. madelyn softly put her hand over her babies, as almost to protect them.
madelyn felt she had failed as the one thing she was supposed to provide as their mother. she had failed to provide one of her babies the safety of her womb, and she couldn't help but feel like that was her fault.
madelyn was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps coming from down the hall. in a few moments, alex was standing in front of her.
"what happened?" he asked, clearly out of breath from running.
