Tina had to push again and again before their first daughter appeared, soon followed by her sister, who was the tiniest. Soon both girls joined their brothers.

“Ms. Porter, do you want to follow to the NICU?” The nurse asked. Bette was torn between wanting to be there for her love and going to see her babies.

“Go be with them, babe. I’ll be fine.” Tina said. Bette smiled a little smile and kissed Tina before following the nurse. She could see her babies surrounded by wires and tubes, lying each in an incubator.

“They are all on a ventilator that helps them to breath. They stay warm in the incubator. Do you want to name them now?” The nurse asked.

"Yeah"

"So tell me what the names are.” The nurse smiled at the new mom who was still overwhelmed with what happened.

“The littlest girl is Kyra Katherine and the bigger one is Jules Dana. The oldest boy is Tyler Jay Alec (kinda the male for of Alice) and the youngest boy is Wyatt Shane ” Bette said. The nurse smiled and wrote it down. “They will survive, right?” Bette asked, still scared.

“There is a very big chance they will, Ms. Porter. Don’t you worry.” The nurse told her. “Tyler Jay weighs 1.53 kg and is 43 cm long. Wyatt weighs 1.50 kg and is about 42 cm. Jules is the biggest of the four, 1.60 kg and 44cm. Little Kyra is only 1.30 kg and 40 cm long. She will need to stay the longest but I think they are going to be fine, really.”

“How long do you think they’ll have to stay here?” Bette wanted to know, still looking at the four little persons that were her kids.

“I think that Jules and T.J. will be going home in a month to a month and a half. The others will have to stay a little longer I think but nothing is sure.” The nurse told her. “I think your partner will be already in her room. Maybe you should go check on her.” The nurse suggested. Bette smiled.

“Yeah…” She looked at her babies. “Bye, sweethearts.” She said before leaving the NICU and asking the nurse where her woman was. She walked into the room and saw Tina lying with her eyes closed but she opened them fast.
