Erin Lindsay: Time stops

Awake

"Wake up Erin!" I thought to myself. It took a lot of work but I managed to open my eyes. When I did I saw Jay. Waiting for me at my bedside.

I opened my eyes and looked at Jay. He was in tears and he cried harder when he saw me. "Erin...." He began.

I tried to speak but nothing came out. My voice was too horse and sore to talk. "Shh baby don't try to talk. You're okay." Jay soothed right as Will and Sharon came in.

"Okay Erin. Your limbs are going to be sore and it will take a little bit of time to gain function again. As for your injuries. Your arm will be wrapped for the time being. You lost a lot of blood too. Lastly your girls..Esmée is a mess and Baylie hasn't stopped crying for three days.

"H...How are...my..t...wins?" I asked hoarsely.

"We were worried there because they were without oxygen for 50 seconds. Our hope is that it won't affect them."

I nodded and turned towards Jay. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have gone in there"

"Erin Sophia Halstead. You were doing your job. All that matters to me is that you're alive. And all four of our children are alive."

"Speaking of children, can I see Baylie and Emmi?"

He nodded and right on cue Natalie came in holding my distraught baby and my emotionally exhausted six year old.

"Mama!"

"Hi Emmi baby" I cried as she carefully hugged me and kissed me. Jay then came onto the other side of the bed and held our happy baby now. "Hi Baylie." I took her in my arms and cuddled her. "Mommy missed you so much. Your my baby princess."

She cooed and fell asleep in my arms sucking on her pacifier. Emmi too, soon crashed with me. I smiled at them hoping they would be good big sisters to the twins.'

"Jay..Lets get married. Like soon. Because we have to celebrate life. You never know when your last day will be."

He leaned over and gave me a kiss. "I agree. Let's do it this weekend then. I love you Erin Halstead"

I smiled and leaned into his hold. "Babe. I can feel the twins wiggling." I said bringing his hand over to feel. He put a little pressure down to feel and his face lit up once again. By now I started to regain some movement in my upped body.

7:00pm-
I could feel everything again and I was walking around. About an hour ago they let me hold my kids and walk around the hospital. Here we are now getting discharged.

As we were walking to the car, I heard a thump and then a wail. Esmée who was walking behind me, had just falling on the pavement after tripping.

She continued to cry as she sat up. "Are you hurt sweet Esmée?" I asked her while looking at her face and arms and legs for injuries. She nodded and showed me a bruise. I kissed the bruise and picked her up. Even though she was six I still carried her sometimes. It was only when she was sad or hurt or needed a little extra love. But soon I wouldn't be able to pick her up.

"Jay. I have an idea of transport situations for our kids."

"Okay. So do I."

"Go first."

"I think we should I either get a big van or a Land Rover."

"Let's go with the Honda Van. I looked it up and it seats eight people. Just in case Emmi wants to have any friends over for a play date or when Baylie grows up the same."

He nodded in agreement. "What was it that you were thinking?"

"As for like right now and whenever we go out we need to carry three of them. Baylie can't walk for another couple months not until May or June, at least. Plus we are having twins. Esmée can walk. She's six. What if we either got a triple stroller, or use the baby carrier that Hank gave us for Baylie's baby shower.

"I like the stroller idea. That way we can save your back. By now we had arrived home and since our children had fallen asleep on the way, we put them down for a nap.

"Jay, I'm really tired and sore. Do you mind if I go lie down for a bit?"

"Not at all. I'll come with you." He replied leading me to our bedroom. After a little nap and a little down time, we were going to face time Amanda and Carisi. Just a little bit before Baylie was born,on June 15 Amanda gave birth. She now has one boy and one girl who are twins. Their names are Jackson Dominick Carisi and Eve, pronounced (E-v). Eve Alexa Carisi.

I soon fell asleep exhausted from everything. Even though I was in a coma and slept, every part of me was just tired.

Jay Pov:
I figured it would be best to let Erin sleep. I couldn't imagine how she was managing along with carrying twins.

While she was sleeping, I heard Baylie start to stir on the baby monitor. Since she was a light sleeper just like her mother, I had to be very quiet to go check on her and make sure she was okay.

When I walked into her room, I saw her wide awake moving around. I sat back and just smiled at her for a second. Of course that was only for a minute because she began to whimper. "Hey baby girl, mommy's sleeping so I'm gonna take care of you okay?"

Gently I lifted her out of the crib and bounced her a little. She wasn't crying so I didn't know whether she needed a change or she was hungry. I laid her down on the changing table and checked. Dry diaper, that meant she was hungry. With Baylie in my arms I went to the kitchen to make some baby formula. We had just started to ease into it so we were taking it easy. I put Baylie in her high chair and fed her.

Back to Erin Pov:

I woke up a while later and it was time to face time Amanda and Carisi. When that was finished I got dinner started for my family.

We ate happily and then sat on the couch to watch a movie. "Ez what do you want to watch honey?" Jay asked her lifting her up onto his lap. "Uhhh can we watch frozen?"

"Sure baby " I said putting the disc in. And with Baylie in my arms and Emmi on Jays lap we had a family movie night.
