My head felt heavy as I opened my eyes. I looked around and seen I was in a hospital room.

"Rae!" I looked over as Rex and a doctor came into the room.

"Hello. Miss Sanders. How are you feeling?"

"My head feels like it weighs a ton." I said slightly smiling.

"Well, that's what happens when you get a concussion."

"What are my injuries?" I asked rubbing my sore eyes.

"You have a concussion, 3 cracked ribs, and a broken leg. You and your babies are lucky."

"Speaking of baby, where is my child?" I asked.

"Your baby girl and boy are doing fine."

"I have paternal twins?" I asked happily.

"Yes Ma'am. They sustained no internal or external damage."

"Oh thank God." I said smiling.

"The police are waiting outside to ask you a few questions."

"Alright show them in but when can I see my babies?" I asked.

"I'll send a nurse to go get them."

"Thank you." I said as the doctor left the room and was replace by 2 uniformed officers.

"Miss Sanders we need to ask you a few questions."

''Yes of course. Please have a seat." I said and they sat down.

"Alright Miss Sanders., Xavier is your boyfriend. How long have you 2 been together?"

"2 years." I said.

"When did he start harming you?"

"A year into our relationship but he started beating me worse when I told him I was pregnant." I said lowering my head.

"Have you ever tried to leave him?"

"When I was 6 months pregnant, he was beating on me and I told him that if he did it again, I was leaving but...he threatened me." I said letting the tears flow down my cheeks.

"What did he say?"

"He said that he would hunt me and my children down and kill us." I said and Rex handed me a tissue and I wiped the tears from my face.

"Do you believe he would do that?" I nodded.

"Are you wanting to press charges?"

"Yes...I don't want my kids harmed. They're innocent." I said wiping the remaining tears away.

"Thank you ma'am. Do you have somewhere you can stay?"

"She'll be staying with me and my husband." Rex said smiling.

"I'll let you know if anything comes up and thank you for your time."

"No problem." I said smiling. The door opened and 2 nurses bought my children in and I could see the smile on the officer's faces.

"Here you go Miss Sanders. You have 2 wonderful children. Have you picked out baby names?"

"No." I said embarrassed.

"That's alright. I'll be back later to get the names." The 2 nurses left and Rex picked up my baby girl and handed her to me. I stared down at my child thankful that she wasn't hurt. She's so precious.

"I think I have a name." I said smiling down at my baby.

"What?"

"Devon Rexi Sanders." I said looking up at Rex.

"You're naming her after me?"

"Yes. You've done so much for me. It's the least I can do." I said smiling.

"What about this little one?"

"Owen Charles Sanders." I said smiling.

"Hey Owen. This is you Auntie Rex."

"Let me hold my son." I said laughing as Rex made silly faces at my son. I laid Devon back into the baby warmer and Rex handed me Owen. I cradled the small baby in my arms. I haven't known my children for 5 minutes and I already love them.

"I'm staying tonight so I can help you with the babies."

"What about the club." I asked.

"I called Raph and told him to shut down for a while. Family Emergency."

"Won't that cost you some money?" I asked laying Owen into the baby warmer.

"Girl we can make that up in one night with your singing."

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yes. Now why don't you get some rest."

"Thanks Rex. I mean for everything." I said smiling.

"It's not a problem." I smiled one last time before laying my head back on the pillow and quickly falling asleep.
