Shawn's POV

Two weeks, it's been two weeks since I became a father.
Sabrina is still in the hospital with high fever and she's not showing any sign of improvement.
I brought the kids back home a few days ago and everyone has been helping me with them: now I know how to change diapers, feed them and make them fall asleep.
Both of our families are still here in New York, they're all staying in an hotel except for my mom who insisted to stay with me and help me with the twins and I'm so grateful for that.
Sabrina's family visits her daily but Sarah is the most affected one, if it wasn't for Peyton she would stay with her 24/7.
Since some photos showing me walking out the hospital with the babies came out the internet has been going literally nuts. There are people saying that Sabrina and I broke up and some conspiracy theories saying that Sabrina died. Needless to say that I've been avoiding to say anything about the current situation, I don't wanna make people worry more but today I have an appearance on Jimmy Fallon and I don't know how it's gonna go.
I'm currently at the hospital with the twins to visit Sabrina, I enter the room with the stroller with the babies in it. Thankfully they're sleeping right now.
Sabrina looks so pale and sweaty, she's also trembling, this makes me so sad, I just want her to be okay.
"Hey sweetie" I say as I kiss her forehead
"Hi Shawn" She replies to me basically whispering
"How are you doing baby?" She tries to sit up but I stop her
"I'm okay Shawn" She sighs
"That's what you say, what about what the doctors say?"
"I'm feeling better" she's looking down, meaning that she's lying
"First of all, don't try to change argument and second, you're a terrible liar" I gently caress her hair
"How are the babies?" I smile at her
"They're fine, look" i point at the stroller where they're still sleeping
"Even though they were born a month before they're strong and wonderful fighters, just like her mom" I can see a faint smile on her pale face
"Tell me more about them: are they angels or monsters?" I slightly chuckle
"Angels during the day and monsters at night"
"You look tired" I grab the hand that she was moving towards my face to touch my cheek
"I'm not tired Sab, I'm fine" She slightly chuckles
"You're a terrible liar as well Shawn" A tear runs down my face
"I'm just worried about you"
"I'm gonna be fine dude"
"What do the doctors say? You still haven't answered my question"
"Doctors say that it's a miracle that she's still alive" Sarah interrupts our conversation as she enters the room
"Is this true?" I look back at Sabrina
"It's not that serious"
"Not that serious?! You've been laying here for two weeks with an infection that might cause you death!" Sabrina sighs and closes her eyes
"Don't even bother try talking to her Shawn, I've tried everything. The worst thing is that she's not even trying: everyone keeps saying that she could easily get better if she wanted to" Sabrina groans in frustration
"Do you think that I'm not trying Sarah?!"
"Not hard enough!" Sarah starts crying. Why is she so moody? She's angry before and sad the second later.
"If not for yourself at least try for Shawn, the babies..." Sabrina opens her eyes and looks at the twins
"Or for your niece or nephew..." This time she sits up with a shocked look at Sarah. Is she pregnant?!
"What?"
"Yes Sabrina, I'm pregnant, I'm having a baby" Sarah hold her sister's hands
"You're becoming an aunt"
"For how much have you been pregnant? And why do you always keep these things from me?!"
"I just discovered it a month ago and I wanted to surprise you after you gave birth but things got complicated... and you're not even trying..."
"Yes I am!"
"Okay calm down Sab, you need some rest right now, okay? Sarah, can we talk outside?"
"Yeah" We both walk out and pace around the hallway
"Congratulations, you're gonna become a mother, how do you feel?"
"I was super happy at first, Peyton and I were planning to have one for a long time but now that I saw what Sabrina went through" She sighs
"I don't know Shawn, I'm scared and confused"
"Hey" I rest my hand on her shoulder
"Everything is gonna be fine, the fact that your sister had some complications doesn't mean that you'll have them too"
"Thank you for the support man"
"You're welcome" She looks at the babies in the stroller that I'm pushing, it's a miracle that they're still asleep
"They're beautiful" I slightly smile
"Yes they are"
"And totally different!"
"At least it's easier to know who is who"
"So the blondie that looks exactly like Sabrina is Harry?" I nod
"Yes"
"And the one that looks like you is Alex?"
"Alexander, how can you still not know the name of your nephews?" We both chuckle
"Anyways, I'm gonna name him Alex"
"I feel like you're gonna be the aunt that tries way too hard to be cool"
"And I feel like you and Sabrina are gonna be the same when my baby is gonna be born"
"That's true" We see a nurse coming out of Sabrina's room
"What's happening to her? Is she fine?" I ask her
"She's doing better, like way better and I'm glad to tell you that if everything goes right, she might come home in a few days" I smile widely
"Thank you ma'am" what?! How could she recover in only a few minutes?! This is impossible!
Sarah and I come in to find her standing, is this a miracle?!
"Sabrina!" She smiles
"Hey, what's up?"
"What are you doing up?!"
"I'm trying to get better"
