Claire couldn't help from crying. She felt like she was useless at the moment. She heard Orlando calling for her, and wiping her face before taking herself upstairs. She went slowly because she knew not to cause too much stress on her body. She looked up ta him and walked over. She heard him nad sighed before nodding. She took her phone and texted Rex to bring Ricky's phone. She then looked up after texting and said, "I texted him." She put her stuff on the dresser turning to leave before hearing him. She smiled softly wiping at her eyes still and went over and got onto the bed before putting her head on his chest and whispering, "I'd take this over nothing." She smiled up at him. She kissed him gently, then more passionately then stopping hearing him. She chuckled and nodded, "Brooklyn is cute." She told him with a smile. "Brooklyn Dawn?" She offered raising an eyebrow. "I would say Brooklyn Grace, but considering Beau's name is Grayson, they'll hate us for giving them matching names." She chuckled before looking up at him.

Claire looked up when Dalton came in. She bit her lip seeing the canes and didn't want to apart of this conversation. She watched him give the pain medication, before putting it on the dresser. She looked up seeing him break the news. She suddenly got a burst of sickness. "Excuse me." She mumbled, hand muffling her words because it was over her mouth trying not to puke. She made it to the bathroom before feeling whatever she had had for breakfast come up. She didn't bother closing the door. She hadn't even thought about it. She finished, and washed it down the drain before pulling her hair into a pony tail so the next time she puked she wouldn't get it in her hair. She grabbed a towel pressing it to her face and shuddering as she leaned against the counter of the bathroom with her eyes closed. She swayed for a moment before standing up and going back. She leaned against the wall for support. She heard him yelling and whispered, "Yes you will. You'll always be their leader until our children take over if they so wish." She told him gently before feeling another burst of nausea. She went back into the bathroom leaning over the sink before dry heaving. Nothing came up, and she gasped washing her mouth out with water and shakily looking into the mirror at her palor complexion.

Orlando looked at Claire as she spoke and smiled brightly. "No no. I totally love that for a name. " he said excitedly, rubbing her side. "Brookelyn Grave and Beau Grayson. That's so adorable. They can deal with it." He said and chuckled. Orlando was pissed about the whole cane thing, glaring daggers at his brother. "I'm not fucking doing it." He said again. Dalton sighed, both men looking over at Claire when they heard her. Orlando sighed. "Who the fuck respects a cripple? I wouldn't even be a tenth intimidating as I am now. We'd be interrogating and they'd laugh in my face." He said angrily, pushing them away from him with his good arm. Dalton picked them up again. "You fucking know what Orlando." He said angrily. "I just had these specially made for you, because I love you, I've saved your ass, her ass, and your gang boys plenty of time. Using my own money to buy that shit because I love you. I didn't fucking put your knee back together for you to go fuck t up again because you're too damn proud to use a cane." Dalton said and shoved them back to Orlando. "You're going to fucking use them Orlando." H said and turned before storming off.

Orlando watched Dalton, his eyes glaring as his brother ranted. But his face weakened and he frowned when Dalton left. He didn't even manage to say 'come back.' Orlando sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Claire, baby! You okay?!" He asked, calling out to her. "I'm sorry. I wish I could help you."
He said, when Claire returned he gave her a weak smile. "You need to rest, stop running around. You aren't superwoman. The babies need it." He said and reached out, taking her hand, and kissing it. Rex got Claire's text and headed over. He hadn't looked through the phone at all because he was waiting to let Claire and Orlando to want it. He knew they would use information on it. He went to their house. When he went inside and found the couple he handed the phone to Claire and gave her a report. Which ticked orlando off a bit. He was already agitated, because of he pain he was in, his usual self, and the whole situation was very stressing me. "I'm still fucking in charge Rex. You don't have to act like im not here and I'm not an idiot."
He snapped. Rex took a step back and looked at his bosses. "I'm sorry sir... I didn't mean it. Just got a little used to it the last three days." He said and bit his lip. "She asked for the phone."

Claire smiled seeing his bright smile, touching his cheek gently and nodded, "It'll be adorable." She murmured before kissing him again. She was in the bathroom still when Dalton started to scream at Orlando and winced in the mirror, feeling herself become nauseous once more. This wave passed quickly before she choked down the bile in the back of her throat. She heard Orlando and nodded before coming into the room and murmuring, "I'm alright." She told him. "It happens." She murmured a smile on her face gently. She got into bed with him, and intertwining their hands together and felt a wave of exhaustion pass over her. She nodded before murmuring, "I don't do it, who will?" She asked him teasingly, knowing full well he would. She gave him a kiss before sagging into his side, closing her eyes and resting her eyes for a moment.

Claire opened her eyes hearing Rex come into it. She took the phone gently before passing it over to Orlando. She heard Orlando and looked at him frowning before keeping her mouth shut knowing better than to argue when they were in front of others. She gave Rex a small look when he looked at him and sighed before murmuring, "Thank you, Rex." She gave him a small smile before looking at the phone, paling at the fact that it had her and Orlando on it. She shook her head before saying, "I can't watch it." She told him hiding her facen and then standing up. "I'll go order your favorite while you watch it." She then went downstairs, finding her phone and dialing the number for the take out he loved. They delivered it after about half and hour and she carried it upstairs huffing once more. "Those fucking stairs are killing me." She teased before gicing him another small smile.

Orlando looked over at Claire and nodded slightly, he kissed her cheek as she got up. Rex helped Claire downstairs. He left when she ordered orlandos food. Orlando watched the video, he had the sound on, but quiet so that Claire wouldn't hear it. He had a very solemn look on his face as Claire came up. Orlando didn't know how to feel about it, but he knew it was real now. "Should I delete the videos?" He asked. Looking up at Claire. "We can look through the information on his phone and find out about his gang. Without a leader I could try and get them to join ours and expand ten fold. That's what I was trying to do. But they kinda got me." He said and out the phone down before taking the playe form Claire, smiling. "Thank you so much. I Couldn't ask for a better wife." He said and smiled brightly. "Stop walking up and down them then." Orlando's voice was quiet, and had a weird tone to it. But he ate his food and then put the plate down before slowly and painfully lowering himself so he could lay down, Orlando put his arm around Claire and yawned. He said goodnight before quietly falling asleep.

Orlando lay awake thinking for a while, but did his best to seem asleep. He couldn't help but think about how worthless he was now. If he couldn't be the badass gang leader, what fucking use was he? What was the point of life? Eventually he did fall asleep. And he dreamt of the mocking he would get from his guys. And how terrible his life would be. When he woke up the next morning, he painfully rolled onto his side, burying his face in the pillow. He bit it from the pain and to keep himself from crying. Orlando didn't wanna get up, he didn't wanna do anything. He just wanted to lay here. He reached onto his side table and took a few pain killers, able to lay down more comfortably. He hoped he didn't disturb Claire, he assumed she would spend most of her time in this room with him. So he couldn't just start crying about how shitty his life was going to be now. He had to lay here and accept it.

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire didn't want to argue with Orlando but she wanted to tell him her opinion. She knew he might not like it, but she hoped he cherished her opinion some days. She yawedn before looking up seeing the solemn look on his face. SHe frowned before sighing and said, "I think we should. It was wrong and savage in the first place to even do that." She whispered shaking her head gently. She then gave him a small smile before blinking listening to his words, "Awh." She smiled before kissing him. "We'll get it." She told him sitting down with him. She nodded and laughed hearing him, "I'm glad, because I hope this is the only one you'll have." She teased him, but meant it. She hearing him and shrugged, "How else would I take care of my love?" She kissing him. "I'm alright." She heard his tone and gave a small frown before eating her food as well. "I think you overreacted with Rex." She told him gently. "He's just trying his best to help." She told him before leaving it alone.

CLaire smiled hearing him, before kissing him Goodnight. She knew he wasn't asleep, but knew better than to try and talk to him at the moment. He needed his space just as much as she did. She soon fell asleep, her cheek pressed against his arm gently. Her lashes fell against her cheeks as she slept, her mouth parted slightly. She woke in the morning and gave a soft groan from her back hurting. She sighed going to be happy when her twins were born. She sat up, giggling as she had to try a few times. She laughed, enjoying the simple things at the moment. She heard Orlando and looked over seeing him get some pain killers. She kissed his head before standing up and going to take a shower. She got out when she was done, getting into a dress that was for maternity. She huffed once more as she had to use a lot of energy to do so. She then grabbed her text book and sat in the bed as she highlighted passages, biting her lip as she did so. She was still in classes and had a 4.0 at the moment and was trying to keep it that way.

It had been a few months since Orlando was rescued. He was healing up quite well. All the bruises were gone, his arm was healed, his ribs, his cuts, and only one really scarred. His knee was better, he could walk and put pressure on it. Not a lot or for long periods of time, but a little, he refused to use the canes, refused to even acknowledge that he had them. He may have fallen depressed about the whole thing, but he was still too proud. Orlanod was still having Rex run things. He didn't want to see his guys. Hell at this point he didn't wanna do anything. Orlando felt worthless, he felt like a failure, and useless. He barely talked, and the only time he left their bed was to use the bathroom. Which was a twenty minute adventure because he had to go slow with his knee. Orlando knew Claire would have the babies soon, that worried him. He didn't want to be a failure as a dad too. But he was pretty much unemployed and a crippled loser. Orlando had given up, life wasn't worth it to him anymore. Ricky ruined him.

Orlando laid in he and Claire's bed, on his side, the blanket pulled up tight to his neck as he slept the day away. His eyes shot open and he groaned, he had to piss. He slowly swung his legs over the bed and grabbed the night stand as he pulled himself up. He pretty much stepped forward with his good leg, and dragged the bad one. It took five minutes to get to the bathroom. Five to use it and get back up. And five to get back to bed. When he was back in bed he was tight under the blanket again. Orlando was a bit skinnier now, losing weight form not being able to move because of the injuries,and now because of the depression. He was in bed and just closed his eyes, not sleeping, they both knew he wasn't. But she left him alone when he pretended to be asleep. Orlando wouldn't be much left if he didn't get his ass in gear soon, he needed to his the gym, work out, get a knee brace, be the badass he was. But here he was laying down moping

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire honestly had no clue what do to. He just stayed in bed all day, and Rex and the guys were getting restless, wanting to see him and see their boss whom they all admired. Claire was having a difficult job trying to juggle that as well as her pregnancy. She refused everyone from seeing him, even his brother since he didn't want to. She had apologized over and over, and had even broken down crying when Dalton had questioned her. She had told him she didn't know and everything was just closing in around her. He had said a couple months back that she didn't need to be a superwoman and such but she felt like she was doing everything and it was starting to get to her. She had to sit down a lot, and had been told to keep off her feet as much as possible, but while being active and she honestly didn't know what the fuck that meant. She was quite confused with the whole thing.

Claire sighed hearing Orlando's grunt from upstairs. She hoped every morning he would try to get up and come downstairs and be the person he used to be. Now, he just moped a lot and it scared her. She felt a small tear fall from her eye. She wiped it off before doing more paperwork. She bit her lip so as to not be heard. She sighed, being exhausted from looking at all of the paperwork. She also couldn't go out in the field anymore and she had finals tomorrow and didn't think she could take it. She felt the stress and got up before heading into the bathroom. She felt a contraction, but the doctor had said that was normal so long as they didn't get too close apart. She felt it fade before getting into the shower. She loooked up at the shower head, feeling the same contraction pain. She got out after a while and then dressed. She went to the bed and gasped gently. "How're you doing?" She asked, finally not caring if he made her think he was asleep; he wasn't and they both knew it.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando heard Claire moving about the house, he was actually surprised she was being so active while so pregnant, it worried him, but he stayed quiet. He worried about Claire a lot, when he wasn't thinking about how shitty his life was, he thought about Claire. He thought about how much he loved her, how beautiful she was, and then his thoughts turned dark. He thought about how she was stuck with a loser like him. That she probably hated him, that she deserved better. Those were the times he actually cried to himself. Orlando heard Claire come in and sit on the bed. He bit his lip hoping she'd leave him alone. "Fine." He answered curtly. Not being mean, he didn't want to talk, he didn't know what to say anymore. He hadn't seen anyone in months, other than Claire. He was lonely. But he also wanted to be alone. He didn't understand it. Orlando seemed to collapse within himself, he pulled the blanket tighter around himself and higher up on his face.

Orlando whined loudly when a sharp pain go through his knee. It happened a lot because he wasn't doing anything to heal it, no physical therapy. Dalton wasn't worried about his brother. He wasn't even allowed to see him now, and Claire made up excuse after excuse. He knew this stress wasn't good for her, and he needed to know how his brother was. No one had heard from him or seen him. Dalton decided this was it. He was going to see his brother. He needed to know Orlando was alive. Dalton headed over to their house. He didn't even bother to knock as he went inside. He headed upstairs to go and see his brother.

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire winced at the pain, taking slow and deep breaths as the doctor had told her to do, glad Dalton was going to be the one delivering the twins. She trusted him, and didn't feel uncomfortable around him. She heard Orlando and side hearing how short his answer was and decided to try and read her text book, gasping at the pain every now and then. She didn't mind it, it meant she was alive. She cursed gently before feeling it starting to fade once more. She knew it would start back up though. She could usually tell when it was through and when it had just started. This particular contractions weren't done yet, and were extra painful. She then came to a conclusion and bit her lip, keeping it to herself knowing the doctor had said not to worry about it and to just let it happy and if they happened two every minute to go to the hospital because more than likely they were going to occurr.

Claire looked up when he whined and sighed. She shook her head and kept her thoughts to herself, reaching a hand over to gently pat his hair. She then pulled he hand back hearing the door open, and sighed before looking up. She couldn't get up at the moment it hurt too much. She waved to Dalton before saying, "Dalton's here to see you, Orlando." She told him before closing her eyes, tilting her head back and simply taking in deep breaths. She gritted her teeth at the pain, knowing if she ended up having the twins, she was going to be a bitch. She was actually super sick of Orlando's brooding. She never said anything, hoping he would just get better and he didn't. She gripped the bed tightly, her knuckles turning white.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Dalton smiled at Claire before he moved over to Orlando's side of the bed. Orlando didn't say anything or react, he wanted Dalton to go away. But Dalton knew his brother, and he shouldn't be acting like this. Dalton grabbed the blanket and pulled it down, showing most of orlando from the chest up. "You're not doing shit, and you're not eating. Do you want to get your ass kicked when you go back in the field? "He asked. Dalton could tell by how much his muscles had diminished, and he look in his eyes. Dalton sighed and looked down at his brother. "What's wrong with you? You aren't my brother." He said. Dalton's eyes shifted to Claire and they widened. He knew those signs from anywhere and he went around the bed and placed a hand on her stomach. "Claire. Why didn't you say something when I came in? How far apart are your contractions." Dalton said and shot a glare over at Orlando. "Your wife is probably having your fucking kids Orlando." He snarled before looking back to Claire.

Orlando let Dalton just move to Claire, he was curious as to why, but didn't say anything. Dalton was talking to Claire and wanted to move her downstairs into one of the reclining chairs because it would be better for her to give birth in. Which he said to her. When Dalton told him that Claire was probably in labor, his own eyes shot open. Orlando sat up quickly and looked over at Claire. "What can I do?" He asked, biting his lip nervously. Dalton looked at him. "You need to come downstairs and support her Orlando." Orlando got out of the bed and winced as his knee hit the ground. Dalton picked Claire up, but glanced back at Orlando. "Use that damn cane or so help me God, Orlando, I'll beat you." He said. Dalton carried Claire down and put her in the chairs, reclining it for her. Orlando muttered angrily for annoy before grabbing the csne that was shaped like a gun and slowly making his way downstairs. He went into the living room and sat down besides Claire and took her hand. "I love you so much baby." He said nervously.

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire winced hearing Dalton and sighed knowing he was right and she just kept how she was trying to ignore the fact that he was being quite mean to him. She soon felt him come over and looked up feeling his hand on her stomach. Hearing him she said, "They're 6 minutes apart, and because you only said to worry if they were less than 3 apart." She told him, another one coming on and she groaned. She heard Dalton and whispered, "Please don't be mean to him, Dalton." Her eyes were pleading. She then gasped once more and tilted her head back letting the pain ride over. Feeling him pick her up, she grabbed onto his shirt to steady herself and muttered, "I'm way heavier than I used to be because the twins are in me." She told him knowing he knew this, but still felt the need to apologize. She couldn't help herself. She bit her lip trying to make sure she didn't scream. This was fucking painful!

Claire looked up seeing him immediately sit up from Dalton's words. She heard him and sighed. She was glad to gave him back, if only briefly. She heard Dalton and nodded. "Please use the cane." She told him wanting him down there witrh her. She felt herself being put down into the recliner and grabbed the arms of the chair, trying to relax her body. She soon started to breathe, hoping she could have her children in a hospital and not in her living room. The blood would never come out of the carpet and she kind of wanted to be sedated for this. She knew how much it was going to hurt. She tilted her head back in pain before hearing Orlando and looked up feeling him take her hand. She nodded and said, "If you love me, stop acting like this!" She said unable to control herself anymore. "You need to get up everyday and exercise and come out and be social. The gang needs you. They aren't going to think less of you. They still love you and not a day goes by that they don't ask me how you're doing and I have to lie to them and say you're getting better. Your leg isn't getting better because you refuse to get up and get out of the house. You need to Orlando, I can't take watching you rot away in a bed." She finally said her back arching from the pain. She gasped whimpering in pain.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando was sitting besides Claire, looking between her and Dalton when clair elegant to speak. He looked over at her, slightly in awe. But bit his lip as a tear rolled down his cheek. He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry. I love you. I promise I'll do better." He said and whined quietly. Dalton looked at them and shook his head. "Good, but Claire. We need to get you to a hospital. Well mine, because otherwise you're giving birth here." He said. "Orlando go unlock your car and get the doors open for me, I'm gonna bring her out there." He said. Orlando nodded and pushed himself up before making his way outside, he unlocked the car and opened three doors before getting into the passenger seat himself. Dalton picked up Claire and carried her out, laying her in the back seat before he got into the drivers seat. Orlando turned and reached back to hold her hand. "I love you, I love you so much." He said nervously. Dalton drove as quickly as he could to the hospital. He would have to get into his scrubs and such while they got Claire ready. He pulled in and helped her inside, a nurse immediately brought her even into the maternity ward, giving Orlando some scrubs and a chair to sit in besides her. She also gave her some medication to relieve the pain.

Dalton quickly washed himself and got into his scrubs, gloves, and mask as he headed to her room. He ordered his team to get two of everything. He headed in and looked at Claire. "You need to dialate a few more centimeters, Claire." He said quietly. After about another hour she was ready to give birth. Dalton had Claire start pushing, and Orlando hold her hand. It took nearly forty five minutes minutes before Beau came out, a nurse washed him off and wrapped him in a blanket before handing him to Orlando. Ten minutes later Brooklyn followed. She was washed and wrapped and handed to Claire. Orlando was grinning from ear to ear, tears running down his face as he looked at the twins. "I can't believe this." He choke diut, Dalton smiled and washed himself off before coming back in. "O, you gotta fill out the birth certificates."

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire watched as he watched her, unable to help herself. She was pissed because she was in pain and the way he was acting. She saw a tear roll down and wiped it away and nodded. "I love you too." She told him before setting her head back whimpering from hte pain. She gasped and heard Dalton and said, "How the fuck do you expect me to move?" She snapped at him, groaning from hte pain and setting her hair back her hand squeezing Orlando's. They were coming faster now. She gasped once more before letting Orlando. Feeling Dalton pick her up, she gasped and laid in the backseat, her hand on her stomach. She had to call her parents. She texted them telling them she was in labor. She then tossed her phone on the floor. Holding Orlando's hand she nodded murmuring that she loved him too. She sighed as they took her to the maternity ward. She started to scream from the pain before they sedated and numbed her. Claire gasped as the pain decreased and she felt drowsy from all of the pain she had been in for the last thirty minutes. She didn't understand how but she was exhausted. She tried relaxing herself, knowing it was no good to be tense.

Claire looked up at Dalton hearing him and groaned. "Fuck." She told him shaking her head. She dealt with this for an hour having heard the nurses tell their parents they couldn't come into the room and had to wait in hte waiting room. Claire soon had to push for fourty five minutes. She pushed as hard as she could, squeezing Orlando's hand tightly, her own knuckles going white from her squeezing so hard. She felt Beau come out, and felt exhausted but knew she had to get Brooklyn out too. She screamed feeling the pain coming back and soon Brooklyn was out too. She gasped once she was done and took her baby and smiled down at Brooklyn and took Beau too and kissed each of them on the head, still exhausted. Soon, they took her babies in order to go do whatever they did. Claire was hesistant to give her babies away and watched them go sadly before putting her head back on the pillow and breathing, sweat rolling down her face. She let go of Orlando's hand, knowing it must have gone numb by now. She opened her eyes slowly to look at Dalton and Orlando.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando frowned softly as they took the babies away, but knew they had to. At this point he didn't even know if he had a hand anymore. Claire was surprisingly strong. He smiled as he looked at her, even disheveled from birth he still thought she was beautiful. "You're gorgeous." He murmured as she opened her eyes, he leaned down and kissed her forehead. Dalton rolled his eyes and smiled. "Your parents can come in when the babies are all set. They've just gotta make sure they're healthy, weigh them, measure them, the whole set." He said. Orlando filled out the birth certificates. Beau Grayson Burton, and Brooklyn Grace Burton. He smiled brightly before handing them to a nurse. The twins were brough back each in their own little incubator beds, their hospital wrist bands marking which was which. Both looked like their parents. Beau had miniature Orlanod features, but with Claire's eyes. And Brooklyn looked like her mother but had orlandos lips. Orlando looked at his brother. "Can I hold my baby girl?" He asked, Dalton nodding and handing her to Orlanod, she was wrapped in a small pink blanket.

Orlando beamed with pride, excitenedd, and pure happiness. She had beautiful eyes that were a light blue right now. The nurses let her parents in, and Dalton called Dominic so he could come. Orlando looked up at Dalton. "Call Rex, he needs to be here!" He said excitedly.

Henrry came in nervously, they had made he and his wife wait for so long while she gave birth. He smiled st Claire. "Wow, this is amazing, I'm happy for you." He said and kissed her head, looking down at beau. Henrry sighed and bit his lip, he was upset that the baby looked just like his father. But he didn't say that. He just smiled and looked at Brooklyn. "Looks just like he really mommy." He said and smiled again.

Claire was exhausted and just wanted her babies and to sleep with them beside her. She brushed her hair away from her face and looked up hearing Orlando. She smiled at him before kissing his cheek. Looking up, Claire nodded, "Alright." She told him tiredly. She soon saw them come back in and smiled happily before taking Beau in her arms and kissing him telling him in his ear that he was a beautiful baby. She smiled before looking up when her parents come in. She felt her mother come over immediately and coo over the babies and told her how beautiful they were. She smiled at her, her emerald eyes shining with pride and happiness. She looked down, giving Beau her finger and laughed as he began to stick it in his mouth. She bounced a little before holding him to her chest and looked up at her dad smiling once she heard him. She saw Orlando holding Brooklyn. "Mom, Dad, meet Beau Grayson, and Brooklyn Grace." She told them.

Claire let her mom and dad hold Beau a smile on her face. She yawned before sinking down into her own bed and letting her head fall onto her pillow a smile on her face as she watched her parents intereact with her babies. Rex got a call from Dalton saying that Claire had given Birth. He blinked eyes widening before grinning from ear to ear. He couldn't help but yell in happiness before grabbing his shit. He told the guys and almost all of them wanted to go see the children. He laughed telling them one at a time before heading to the hospital knowing the guys would come in tomorrow to see the two of them. He came into the hospital before looking at Orlando. "Congratulations, Bosses." He told them and smiled at Their children.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando looked at her parents as he watched them look over the babies, he frowned when he recognized the look on Henry's face. But his eyes went back to Brooklyn and he lit up. She was sleeping, but she was so beautiful. She looked like Claire and Orlando knew he would protect this girl with his life, both of them he would, but he was going to raise Beau to be like him. They were going to be a badass family. After her parents headed out Orlando put Brooklyn and beau into their beds and leaned back into the chair he had next to Claire's bed. He let out a soft groan from working his knee, looking to Claire and taking her hand again. "I love you. I love this. I love them." He said tiredly, Dalton was half asleep in another chair in the corner. He wanted to stay with his brother and sister in law, but he was exhausted. Orlando looked up as he heard someone come in, grinning slightly. "Thanks bud." He commented, Orlando got up with his gun cane and moved to Beau's bed. "This is your future boss, y'know." He teased before sitting back down again. Orlando took claire's hand and pointed to a seat for Rex.

"So once she and the twins are set to go home, I'm gonna take them all home. I'm gonna be trying to get back to work more. However I can't promise I won't be snappy with little to no sleep trying to care for them. But the next couple days get everything set for me, paperwork, interrogations, anything I need to do set it up and I'll get it done." He explained and looked to Claire, raising an eyebrow. He had an opinion on what he wanted her to do, and how he thought it would go. But he knew Claire wouldn't have it if she didn't agree. They had to get on the same page. But she was too stubborn to just sit back and let him be the big bad guy he wanted to. To take it all on and protect her, take care of her. Orlando kissed claire's knuckles absentmindedly. He was fine, acting as if the past few week hadn't happened.

Claire smiled looking up at her parents and seeing that Orlando looked even happier by the fact that he was so happy seeing his Children and gave a gentle smile to herself before looking up at her parents, smiling when she felt her mom run her hand sthrough her hair. It felt nice to kind of be coddled since she had been coddling everyone for so long. Claire whined a little when ORlando took Beau from her and put him in his bed, but she knew it was the best. She also knew that she needed to sleep as well. Feeling Orlando take her hand, she looked up and smiled before saying that she loved him as well. Feeling his hand, she laced their fingers together before seeing him sit down and then move to Beau's bed. Seeing that Dalton had fallen asleep, she chuckled slightly to herself before yawning hearing Rex. She took his hand once more, running a small ahnd throughout her hair and then fluttering her eyes closed exhaustedly. She kind of felt bad for yelling at Orlando earlier, but then again, knew it wa the right thing to do otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the message and would still be actinh strange, and she needed him back. He had done more than enough whining and groaning and moaning about everything that had happened.

Claire looked up hearing him and smiled hearing Orlando nodding her head happily. She could forgive him, but only if he made it up to her, and showed her he would be there again. She couldn't handle it if he just clocked out on her again. She needed him here, not wherever he had been for the last few months. Claire was going to relax for a few weeks and such. She ran a hand throughout her hair once more before wincing feeling whatever numbing agent she had starting to where off. She sighed hoping that the uncomfortableness would go away soon. She greeted Rex with a simple smile before wincing once more, whimpering a little from the pain.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
As the night went on, things calmed down. Henry and his wife left, deciding to come back and visit tomorrow, Rex left and told the guys they could visit one or two at a time over the next few days. Dalton was still in his scrubs, passed out in a chair, another doctor came in and gently woke him to help him get back to his regular clothes, as it was going on to his day off. The twins actually slept well through the night, and Orlando stayed in a chair between the incubators and Claire's bed. Orlando stirred in the early morning. He woke up and looked around the room, at his gorgeous wife, his twins, he noticed Dalton was gone but it didn't bother him. Orlando grabbed his cane and got up, wandering off to the bathroom. As he stood in front of the sink and washed his hands, he looked in the mirror. Orlando realized just then how much his bullshit affected him. His features seemed sunken in, he was skinnier, he sighed and shook his head. Orlanod knew he had to work out and hit the gym, do that stupid therapy Dalton wanted him too. As he walked back he decided he'd wear bulky clothes until he looked like his old self, juts so the guys didn't know just how much it affected him. Orlando returned to the room, and sat down, looking over at the twins as they slept.

Another doctor came in to check on the twins, as well as Claire. He felt bad waking them, but he had to. The doctor checked Claire first so she would be able to feed the twins, he checked her vitals and just talked to Claire about how she felt. "So you can leave tomorrow as long as there are no complications. Well set up their check ups before you leave." He said and he took Beau first, when he returned Beau was whining from hunger, the doctor handed him to Claire, then took Brooklyn. He returned and held Brooklyn before heldping Claire so that she could hold and feed them both at the same time. Orlando was quiet and just observed the whole time. He looked at Claire as she fed the twins, he noticed her breasts seemed swelled but figured it was because they hadn't drunken any breast milk yet. The doctor left the charts, then the room and left the family alone. "Wow, they're so cute." Orlando said with a smile. "I'm gonna start getting Better... I promise. I'm gonna work on my knee, and I'm gonna work out. And I'm gonna be the big bad wolf you married." He murmured as he watched Claire. Orlando took Beau into his arms when he was done feeding, burping the baby and smiling excitedly.

Claire awoke to the the doctor checking all of her vitals and everything such as that. She winced at the pain, knowing she was going to be very sore for a few months and trying to juggle having her babies was going to be a big thing for her. She didn't know how to take care of one child, let alone two at the same fucking time. She wouldn't trade them for the world though, they were beautiful. She smiled hearing Beau whining and them let each of them having one breast each and let them feed, before looking up at Orlando and gave a smile, "Well, this ought to be interesting. Trying to juggle two of them at the same time." She then laughed hearing him. "They are cute." She stroked Beau's face before kissing Brooklyn's forehead. "ALright." SHe told him. "I'm going to hold you to that, and I hope you know that I will be a bitch if you don't do as you've just promised." She teased him, so glad to have her Orlando again. It felt good to feel at ease, and not having to take care of someone much bigger than herself.

It was 3 AM and the Burton household was asleep and all was well. Well that was until Beau started hollering because he was hungry, which caused Brooklyn to start crying and screaming. Claire's eyes flashed open in an instand and she groaned for a moment as she got out of the bed and started towards the twins' room. Once there, she got Brooklyn her pacifier before getting Beau fed and juggling Brooklyn with her other arm rocking her back to sleep. She set Brooklyn down when she was asleep before letting Beau eat his fill, and then burping him before setting him down to sleep in his crib. She sighed running a hand throughout her hair knowing Brooklyn was going to be up in an hour because she would be hungry, meaning Beau would be up as well. She went downstairs and got some pasta, not really caring at this point. She ate it having the baby monitor right beside her so she could hear if her babies needed her.
