It's the monitors hooked up to the twins.
Sirens and lights alert the nurses and doctors. An ultrasound is done immediately and nods are exchanged.
"What's going on? Are the babies okay?"
"We're going to break your water now."
"Why? What's going on?"
"Nothing. It's just a precaution. Please stay calm."

Nate kisses my temple, whispering in my ear as he pulls away.
"It's all going to be just fine. Relax."
His words are a temporary bandage on my emotions.
