Chapter 19
Gemini had been in the operating theatre for 4 hours now. The operation had 5 minutes left. I was in my normal clothes, feeding and rocking Aislyn. Niall was walking with me. We were looking closely at our baby. She had beautiful eyes. They weren't blue like Niall's or brown like mine, Her eyes were very green and her hair was lovely and brown. She like it when we played with her by poking her or tickling her and she had the appetite of both me and Niall put together. I'd been feeding her for the last 4 hours! She also could tell there was something missing. She could remember her 9 months with her sister and kept reaching out for her. Aislyn very slowly fell asleep. I place her carefully in her hospital cot.
Jenny, Lexi, Lou Teasdale, Sophia, Perrie, Danielle, Doniya, Ruth, Nicole and Gemma had all been appointed godmothers. Zayn, Liam, Harry, Josh, Dan, Sandy, Paul and Simon Cowell had all been appointed godfathers. Turns out I didn't need to make Louis godfather since he was going to be uncle. Yes! Eleanor and Louis were getting married next week. Greg, Denise and Theo had visited. Theo was getting on very well with Aislyn. We told everyone either face-to-face or by Skype or phone about being godfather/godmother and about the wedding. We didn't invite Bobby to the wedding because Niall and I both agreed that is Gemini lives we never want her to find out about her second father. We couldn't invite Maura because she would tell Bobby.
Dr Guille walked in on me and Niall hugging and crying over our baby. We looked up, our faces streaked with tears.
'How is she?' Niall asked desperately.
'She is doing fine but she still hasn't woken up. She has a 64 % chance of living. I will be back in half an hour.' Dr Guille said. He left the room.
'64 %!' I screamed. Niall hugged me hard planting kisses on my forehead.
***
Half an hour later we had cried until we could cry no more. Harry, Gemma and Zayn were by our sides helping us through a half an hour which felt like half a year.
We waited.
And waited.
Waited.
Waited.
Until...
Dr Guille walked into the room holding a very silent baby.
I started to cry again.
I'd lost her before I'd even known her.
Dr Guille put Gemini in Niall's trembling arms.
We stayed very still.
She had a red scar down her chest.
Her chest was rising up and down.
She was breathing!
Thank God!
I hadn't lost her!
'Congratulations. On the birth of Aislyn and the recovery of Gemini.' Dr Guille said. I was so happy that I leaped up and kissed Dr Guille on the cheek. He blushed profusely. Zayn, Harry and Gemma were also leaping up and down. Gemini woke up and looked at us. Her eyes weren't green. They were blue. Like Niall's and Bobby's. I picked up Aislyn and put her in the white baby grow I got her. It had ears! I dressed Gemini in the same.
