The Visions Left Inside Me Are Slowly Fading

**Ember’s POV**

As the day drug on, the doctors came in and out of the room, running test after test. The baby’s heartbeat stayed strong, faint but strong. The blood I’d loss had been a large amount, but for the most part I considered myself lucky, I’d gone limp as soon as I saw the car coming. I saw the craziest look on her eyes, but she hadn’t made it out alive. They pronounced her DOA when the EMT’s arrived at the scene. Matt, I’d heard the cracking of the bone, but no joke, all in all he was lucky we weren’t dead.

I felt coherent for part of the day, but mostly had just slept. Zack and Brian took turns visiting myself and Matt. One point I thought I’d heard Jimmy’s voice whispering in my ear, but it couldn’t have been. Jimmy was dead, but I know for a fact Jimmy saved my baby. He wouldn’t let a miracle child escape Brian and I if he could help it.

Brian had brought the cops in for a statement until they told him that Casey had died on scene. I don’t remember much else, other than the steady beeping of the heart monitor that alerted us of mine and the baby’s presence.

**Zacky’s POV**

I’d gone in and out of Matt and Ember’s rooms all day, we told Simone what happened as soon as she delivered…they’d come out and told us that there were two babies. One boy and one girl, Simone hadn’t named them yet wanting Matt’s opinion. The doctors had discharged Matt after splinting his wrist; however, the CT scan had showed a few bruised ribs that would likely keep him tender for the next few weeks.

“Hey, I’m hungry,” I was pulled out of my thoughts by the little boy who looked so much like myself.

“What are you hungry for bud?” I asked him staring into that face, my mini me.

“I don’t know, macaroni and cheese?” Lyric responded shrugging like I usually did.

I smiled slightly and nodded standing up, “Is Landon hungry too?”

He shrugged again, “I can ask.” He scampered over to Landon who was playing with Jason Berry.

Landon seemed to perk up at the mention of food and Lyric pointed to me presumably telling him that I was going to take them to get food. Not long after, Landon came and tackled my lower legs, “FOOOOOD” He yelled out happily.

I chuckled and scooped him up in one arm as Lyric grabbed my other hand, “Guys we’ll be back in a bit. These tykes need some food, let Tenney know yeah?”

“Will do,” Larry smiled slightly at the three of us. All of us had been a little on edge since earlier, especially Larry. I think he somewhat blamed himself for the hostility with Casey. She’d never gotten the chances that Savannah and Tennessee had. She didn’t make the cut like they had with the dance positions.

“Mommy,” Lyric let out as we were waiting for the elevator. He took off letting go of my hand and I followed him.

“Lyric!” Tennessee mimicked his tone smiling as she knelt down on one knee and hugged our son.

“He’s taking us for food,” Lyric smiled big at her as her gorgeous brown eyes met mine.

“Oh yeah?” She asked him.

“Yeah!” Landon said excitedly squirming around in my arm making me hold him tighter so he wouldn’t fall.

“Well that sounds fun,” she giggled at their reaction.

“Would you like to join us?” I invited her as Lyric took my hand again.

“Uhh,” she started thinking about it.

“Yeah Mommy, come with us!” Lyric smiled up at her.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the little man, he was definitely a momma’s boy, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of how much I wanted to teach him. “alright, I’ll come with.” Tennessee took Lyric’s other hand as we went back to the elevators and down to the cafeteria.

**Matt’s POV**

I sat in Simone’s room, in one of the recliners they had set up to make sure I was comfortable. I held my babies in my arms, one in each, so beautiful in their own ways. I didn’t know what I wanted to name them, I know Simone was trying to come up with some, but I just couldn’t get past the part where I’m a daddy now.

“I like Charlotte Elise,” Simone said out of nowhere.

“Where’d you get that from?” I asked her curiously as both babies snuggled into me.

“Your middle name is Charles, my middle name is Elise,” She shrugged smiling at the sight of me and the kids.

“Charlotte Elise,” I grinned widely. “I like it. What about for him?”

There was a knock at the door as the nurse came in, “Sorry daddy, gotta take the kiddos to the nursery for the night.”

I nodded and helped her put them in their own little bassinet carts they had them in. She scanned their bracelets before taking them out the door. “Goodnight little ones,” I called after them and Simone grinned at me shaking her head. “What?” I asked meeting her gaze.

“You’re adorable, you know that?” She grinned as she scooted over in the hospital bed. “Come lay with me.”

I nodded and eased myself out of the chair, being careful to lay down but give her enough room. She cuddled up to me, careful of my ribs. “So what are we going to name our little boy?”

“Brian James?” She suggested.

I snorted in laughter, “BJ? Good try babe, but no.”

She lightly slapped my chest laughing. “Alright, well what are you thinking?”

“Owen Matthew?” I beamed at her.

It was her turn to chuckle at the suggestion, “I like Owen, but not too sure about Matthew. You already have one baby named after you.”

I huffed playfully, “Alright, Owen Michael?”

She thought about it, “Owen Michael, I like it.”

I grinned, “Owen Michael and Charlotte Elise.”

She kissed me chastely, “Our perfect babies.”
