Seven months Later
"As we predicted baby C isn't as healthy as A and B." Dr.Philis explained. Rue reached over and squeezed Mateos hand for reassurance. "We don't know a lot but he looks like he is still breathing he is fighting. You have a fighter." He smiles as he closed his charts.
"Wyatt." Rue whispers quietly.
"Excuse me?" Dr.Philis asked confused.
"Wyatt. Is his name. Luca picked it out." Rue smiled.
"Well Wyatt his a fighter." Dr.Philis smiled.
Rue smiled in response as Dr.Philis left the room.
Mateo turns towards towards Rue and smiles, "You named them?"
Rue nods and smiles, "Who you all call Baby A, is Kaiden, Baby B, Jazlyn, and then Baby C, Wyatt."
"Jazlyn? Like after your sister?" Mateo asked.
Rue nods as she rubs her now huge stomach. "2 months." Rue smiled.
Mateo smiled slightly then looked down and his smiled faded, "Yeah, two months."
"Can you go pick up Luca?" Rue asks. "I don't think they will be very happy if I left this hospital after 6 months of sitting in this room." Rue laughed.
"Yeah, I'll go get him." Mateo squeezed her hand quickly then left.
Rue lets out a deep sigh and looks over to the window. She slowly touches the side of her stomach where Wyatt is and makes slow strokes over him.
"Be strong baby boy." She whispers.
3 weeks later
"What do you mean choose!?" Rue asks Mateo as he paces back and fourth.
"I mean, I cannot stand here knowing you are carrying that bastards kids!" Mateo shouted at Rue as he made dead eye contact with her.
"But they aren't his kids! They are mine! And as far as they will ever know, their father was not Mark!" Rue tried to explain to him.
"They won't know, but I will! Luca will! So choose!" Mateo insisted
"I will not choose between you and Luca and these babies!" Rue exclaimed.
"Fine! Then I am taking a Luca and We are going back to the states! You and your kids can make it without us!" He huffed out.
"You cannot take my son!" Rue cried out.
"I can, and I will! I already talked to my lawyer and my lawyer has talked to yours, you are unstable to take care of Luca as of now, so he is going back home with me." Mateo commanded.
"Mateo I swear to god, if you take my son from me I will never forgive you! Never!" Rue choked out between her cries.
"Then I guess you are never going to forgive me." He shrugged as he left the room looking back at a red faced crying Rue. "Have a good life Rue."
And he left. Leaving a crying Rue without anyone. Never looking back.
Delivery Day
"No! I can't do this!" Cried out a sweaty Rue. "I can't do this alone, not again!"
"Come Rue, you can do this. You are the strongest women we have ever met. You can do this." One of the nurses reassured her as she grabbed Rues hand.
"N-no! It hurts to much, I can't!"
"All you have to do is get at least 1 baby out, the others will be easier!" Dr.Philis tried to reassure her. "You've fone this before and you can do it again!"
Rue took a deep breath a pushed as hard as she could until she heard a cry. She relaxed as she tried to sit up trying to see her baby.
"A healthy baby boy." Dr.Philis smiled as he lifted him up to show Rue before a Pediatric Nurse took him.
"One big push on three Rue." Dr. Philis repositioned his self. "One. Two. Three." He said as Rue took a deep breath and started to push once again.
At the same time as felt the baby removed she watched the baby get took immediately from Dr.Philis. No cry.
"W-why isn't he crying?!" Rue asked scared.
"Push on three. We need to get your baby girl out now." Dr.Philis ignored her question. "One.Two.Three."
Rue started pushing one last time and this time couldn't help the sounds of pain escaping her throat.
Dr.Philis grabbed her babygirl and smiled.
"A healthy babygirl." He told her as he picked her up to give Rue a better view.
Rue smiled but stopped soon as she looked over at the boys.
She looked over at the Nurse wiping her forehead with a rag and asked her, "W-why isn't he crying?"
The nurse only gave her a small smile before turning away from her.
"W-Why ain't anyone answer me!" She raised her voice causing everyone to look at her.
Dr.Philis frowned and went over to her bedside. He looked down at her and sighed, "Remember how I told you Baby C could be born with some complications, or in rare occasions still..?"
"So he isn't okay? That's why there was no cry?" Rue asked him as she started to sweat again.
"He was born.. still." Dr.Philis told her.
Rue choked back a sob and spoke, "Y-you mean dead?"
"Yes."
