Both men were being so sweet, how could she resist? “Petal’s gone?” she asked.
“Forever,” Dave answered.
“And you want me to come back?” Her voice was small and quiet, full of doubt.
“Forever,” he answered again.
“You’re not mad at me?” she asked with a quiver in her voice, looking at Evan.
“I won’t deny we were worried and scared, but no, I’m not mad at you. I want you to come with us and we will all talk. If you want to come back here tonight, you can. But we need to talk and work things out. Baby, I miss you and I miss holding you at night. I want you back in my arms and will do anything to accomplish that.”
“Really?” Sadie still wasn’t sure of herself.
“Really,” both men answered. They stood up and pulled her up with them. “Do you need anything before we go? Let’s go eat and talk.”
“I want to go and check on Jenna. She didn’t look good, and I’m not sure I should leave her before Kyle gets back,” Sadie answered, chewing on her lip.
“That’s a good friend, baby. Why don’t we just order pizza and we can talk here if you’re comfortable with that?” Evan suggested.
“That should work,” Sadie answered. “I’ll just run up and check on Jenna. Can you take care of ordering the pizza while I do that?”
“Go check on her. Evan and I will be fine. We’ve been here lots of times and know where everything is,” Dave answered.
Sadie found Jenna curled on her side, crying. “What’s wrong, honey?” she asked.
“It’s too early,” Jenna answered.
“Honey, are you having pains?” Sadie asked, a little scared. The babies weren’t due for a month or so.
“Yes, I’m scared. It’s not time yet,” Jenna cried.
Sadie yelled for Dave and Evan. “We have to get her to a hospital. Call Kyle.” She looked panicked.
Evan called for an ambulance, and Dave called Kyle. Sadie sat and held Jenna’s hand, trying to be as reassuring as she could. “Honey, it’s going to be ok. We’ll take care of everything, Kyle is on his way. You just breathe and concentrate on those babies,” she said, squeezing Jenna’s hand.
“I’m so scared,” Jenna whispered. Sadie was too, but didn’t want Jenna to know it. Her sisters had children and she knew babies could be unpredictable, but she didn’t know much about twins.
Evan had run down to meet the ambulance and Dave was pacing nervously. Sadie sent him down to help Evan, not wanting his pacing to upset Jenna any further.
After what seemed like forever, but was probably only a few minutes the ambulance arrived and Jenna was swiftly taken to the nearest emergency room. Sadie rode with Jenna and the men followed in one of the trucks.
Chapter Eighteen
When they arrived at the hospital, Sadie went with Jenna and the men were escorted to a waiting room. The doctor informed Sadie and Jenna that everything was good, and this was to be expected with twins. He stated it could still be several hours before the babies arrived.
Sadie hoped so. She didn’t want her friend to suffer, but she wanted Kyle to be there to see his babies born if possible.
While the doctor was examining Jenna, Sadie stepped out of the room and called Evan to tell her men what was going on. Finding out it would still be several hours before Kyle arrived, Sadie went back to be with her friend.
The next few hours were uneventful and Sadie managed to doze in the chair while Jenna slept. The doctor had given her some medicine and she was much more comfortable now.
The sun was just starting to come up when she heard a commotion in the hall. She looked out to see what was going on, and saw Kyle storming down the hall. Running to him, she explained that Jenna was sleeping and that he needed to calm down.
He allowed her to lead him to the room. Seeing Jenna, tears started in his eyes and he whispered, “She’s beautiful.”
Sadie left them for a few minutes of privacy and went to find her men.
She found them in a waiting room, uncomfortably dozing in chairs. They both looked exhausted, but she was glad they were there.
