Chapter 111

"Ok, Natalie. Push for me!" Dr. Chase said over the insanity that was going on in the delivery room. Natalie screamed as she pushed, but no baby slid down the birth canal. "FUCK!" the Doctor screamed. "Nurse Stephanie, call down to OR, get me a room. We're going to need to do an emergency C- section." Then, she looked at Natalie. "I'm going to go tell Mr. and Mrs. Draiman what's going on. While I'm gone, my staff will prep you for the C-section. When I get back, we'll take you to the OR and deliver those babies."

"Mr. and Mrs. Draiman", the Doctor said when she walked into the waiting room.

"Yes, Doctor", David said with Brie's head in his lap.

"We're going to have to take Natalie down to the OR. There's some unforeseen problem and we've going to have to perform a C- section."

David nodded. "Do whatever you can to keep all of them alive, Doctor."

"It's not looking that grim yet, Mr. Draiman, but we'll take whatever measures we feel necessary to keep the babies and Ms. Lightfoot alive."

"Thank you for the update, Doctor."

--------------

Forty- five minutes later, Dr. Chase came back to the waiting room. "Mr. and Mrs. Draiman. I have some very good, but surprising news."

Brie sat up from where she laid in David's lap. "What's going on, Dr. Chase? David said you had to do a C-section."

"We did, and it's a good thing we did. Mr. and Mrs. Draiman, you're now the proud parents of four more beautiful children. Two boys and two girls."

David and Brie's eyes went wide. "Are you serious?" Brie asked.

"You're kidding", David said.

"No, I'm not kidding. I'm dead serious. You have a grand total of eight children now."

"That's great news!" Brie shouted. "Thank you Dr. Chase."

"Yes, thank you, Doctor." David said.

"Do you have names for the children?"

"No, well, not the boys. We have names for the girls."

"Well, you two better get to thinking. You can come back and see them here in a few minutes." The Doctor walked away.

"FOUR?! BABY, WE HAVE QUADS NOW." Brie was trying to keep her excitement to a dull roar.

"I know. What are we going to do with eight kids?" David laughed.

"I have no idea, but Malachai's old enough to help out with them now, and he's soooo good with Maddie."

"That he is. We may have to hire nannies for all of these kids after the war is over."

"I hear that, but let's not worry about that right now. We need to name our new sons."

"Well, why don't we name on of them after Matt, like we were going to do Madison if she'd been a boy."

"I like it. So, ok. So far we have Meagan Leann, Makayla Dawn, and Matthew James. We need one more."

David unconsciously rubbed his hand over his scalp. "Fuck, I have no idea, but we need another J."

Brie's eyes grew wide. "I've got it. Instead of Matthew James, we'll name one James Matthew and other one we can name Jeremiah Alexander."
