----Erik's Birthday---- Shawna, the last dancer ( she couldn't make i be4 'cause she had the flu ), was glad to hear that everybody was ok from Chris' rampage. She had arrived at the house about an hour earlier and talking with Terri as Dawn fixed her self a milkshake. She had a record and her album was released a year ago, and was self-titled. Her first single, " Quiet Streams." had gone double platinum, like her album. Her 2nd album, " Foxy", was released 3 weeks ago after her single, " The Touch." went gold.
Everyone was setting up for the party as Erik slept up in the bedroom. Katelyn was asleep on the couch and Desiree was playing Candyland with Mikka. Everyone arrived within the next 2 hours as everything for the party was finished up. Terri washed her hands and went to take a shower before she woke Erik up. 20 min. later, she came out in a towel, and put her clothes in the hamper and walked into the bedroom where Erik soundly slept. She smiled as she got dressed. She put on her pink tube top, jean cut-off shorts, pooh socks, and her silver platforms. She brushed her long red hair and put in cornrows. She put on a bit of makeup and watermelon lip-smacker. She shaved and finally sprayed some pear body spray on her and laid on the bed next to her love. She stroked his hair, remembering everything they had been through in the past 4 years. Sighing, she let her thoughts get off track and thought about if she could be pregnant again, pushing it aside quickly.
Pressing her lips to Erik's, she decided not to mention anything to anyone b/c she knew it had been a mild case of the flu. Erik didn't wake up so she kissed him again. This time after she shook him twice and he woke up. He hugged his wife , being careful of his wound and flinching a bit. He put his hand on Terri's face and they locked lips, their tongues in each other mouths. This went on until Mana and Robyn came up, and told them to come downstairs. Robyn rolled her eyes as Mana shook her head closing the door behind them. Kisses and hugs were exchanged as Erik carefully got up and followed his wife down the steps. Desiree ran up the steps and yelled " C'MON SLOWPOKES !!!!." making everyone howl with laughter.
Mid-way through the party, Peggy let a out a scream. She told everyone she was fine and just had some indigestion. She felt her water break and mumbled, " Oh sh*t." Lance looked her weird as she got out that her water broke. Lance hurried and helped her to the car while Joey and Britney offered to stop by their house and get Peggy's things. Julie opened the door and waited till they got out of the car and ran out to Lance's Black Jeep and opened Peggy's side. Lance thanked her as Peggy began her lamaz ( sp?). Lance hurried and fumbled with two keys before he managed to get the right one in the ignition and sped off to the hospital. Everybody else got a soda and hurried to their cars to drive to the hospital. Lori felt weird on the way to the hospital and also screamed in pain.
JC tried to concentrate on the road and swerved once when he accidently got into the other lane. Lori said that she needed Pepto Bismol as JC put his foot down on the pedal and passed up Erik and Terri, who cast him strange looks. Lori felt her water break, and half-yelled half-whispered " God Damnit !!!!." " Lori, what's wrong ?," JC asked with concern, as he swerved again.
Lori - My water just broke.
JC -Are you sure ?.
Lori - I'm very sure.
JC - Oh No. Don't worry we're almost to the hospital ( they had their kids in the back singing karrokee (sp?) on their little machine so they didn't hear their moms' bad word ).
Lori - Just don't kill us before we get there. ( starts lamaz ).
Josh - Mommy are you okay ?.
Amy Jo - You're breathing funny.
JC - Mommy's having a baby.
Amy Jo - Yay ! I'm gonna have a new sister. !!!!!.
Josh - How do you know it won't be a boy ?.
Lori - Don't fight please.
Josh - Sorry mommy.
Amy Jo - Sorry mommy.
JC -We're here.

JC explained to the paramedics and everybody else what was happening with Lori and they hurried and got another wheel chair as both Peggy's and Lori's contractions got closer ( Lori was a month early, Peggy was 2 weeks early ). Both girls were rushed into the delivery room, which had to be shared b/c everything was booked solid ( think back to the movie 9 months ). Dr. Casey Sparkszen ( sparks-zen ) and Dr. Robyn Jaynes came in and got ready for the delivery.
Dr. Casey would be delivering Peggy's bundles of joy. Dr. Robyn would be helping Lori.
4 hours later, labor began for Peggy ( she was only dialated to 6 and Lori was only on 5 ). 5 hrs. later, Lori began her labor. Medicine ( Epidoral ? ) was given to each girl to help take away the pain. Peggy had two girls and named them JennaLyn and Cassidy Ann. Lori had a girl and named her Raven Marie.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news. Reporters pressed for interviews and the very 1st pics to be taken of the newborns. Security kicked them out as they continued shooting questions. The only pics taken were those of Erik and Terri and their kids with the dancers Mana , Robyn, Julie, and Britney who agreed to pose. 2 Pics were also taken of Joey and Britney. Justin and Tiff let 2 pics be taken of them before the busybodies were thrown at by security from the hospital and ICE.
Terri lay down on a bed in the hospital room she had gotten sick while Lori and Peggy were in labor and thrown up and had stomach pains. She was too weak to move as the doctor walked back to the empty room.
" Are you feeling any better ?." he asked gently. She shook her head no as he walked to her bedside.
Dr. Bryant - I'm gonna run some test so we can find out what's wrong with you.
Terri - Okay. ( throws up twice before the nurse gets in with a bucket ).
Dr. Bryant asked her some questions, got a urine sample, gave her some stomach medicine, she took some Tylenol, and threw up twice more. Before the doctor came back, she threw up 4 more times. The nurse , Bambi, held her hand as the doctor was getting the test results. Terri was getting anxious 'cause she wanted to know what was wrong with her so she could go home. Finally, Dr. Bryant walked into the room with a smile on his face.
Dr. Bryant - You're going to be just fine.
Terri ( sighs and nods ) - Thank you.
****
Dr. Bryant - You're pregnant again.
Terri - WHAT ?!?!?!?!. Oh no. Oh my god.
Dr. Bryant - You are 4 months and 28 days along. The baby was conceived on June 8th and you're due on Feb. 20th.
Terri - I can't believe this. How come I'm not showing yet and I've been getting stomach pains ?.
Dr. Bryant - We're going to have to keep you in here for awhile so we can make sure the baby's alright. You said earlier that Chris threw you on the ground and you fell when JC knocked him down right ?.
Terri - Did that hurt my baby ?.
Dr. Bryant - It could have. We won't be sure for awhile so that's why we have to keep you here under observation. Lori and Peggy are being moved in here with you. A little girl wants to meet you. She's 12 yrs. old and her sister is 8.
Terri - Let them in. I'd loved to see them. It's always interesting to meet fans. Some of them actually remain calm.
Dr. Bryant - ( laughs ) - Come on in girls.
Allison ( 12) - Hi there.
Dana - ( 8 ) - Hewlo.
Terri - ( shifts in her bed ) - Hey. ( throws up and then wipes her mouth ). Sorry about that.
Allison - It's okay. I just hope you feel better.
Dana - Can we have your autograph ?.
Terri - Sure I just need a pen and something to sign.
Dr. Bryant - Here's a Sharpie.
Allison hands her a So Weird autograph book and signed it for the girl ( she wrote - Thanks for your support, Be yourself, and have a great Life. Love, Terri-Lynn Phillips aka Heat ). She threw up before signing Dana's book which had Hello Kitty and ICE's group photo glued in the front inside cover and Christina's and Britney's duo single " It's all for Love." cover on the back inside cover. She wrote, " Thanks for being a fan, stay your sweet self and people will like you for who you are. :-) Peace out my loyal fan, Terri-Lynn Phillips aka Heat."
She threw up two last times as the doctor told the nurse to take the girls back to their parents. He turned back to Terri as the door was closed. She smiled but then it faded when she remembered that she would be expecting again. *
Dr. Bryant - You probly won't start showing for sure until the 6th month. We'll have we back mid-way through the 6th month to check on the baby(ies) and mid-way through the 8th month to learn the sex. Then 2 weeks before you're due you'll come in for one last checkup.**
Terri - Don't tell Erik please I want to do that on my own. I don't think I can handle everyone else knowing right now.
Dr. Bryant - Okay. I promise.
Terri - Thanks Doc. Send them in too see me.
Dr. Bryant - Okay. We're gonna keep you here for two weeks. You also have a case of the flu and we want to make sure it doesn't turn into pneumonia.
Lori and Peggy are moved into the same room a couple hrs. after Erik and Julie came in to see her. Erik was glad that she 'wasn't pregnant again.' and that it was ' only the flu and nothing else.' Everyone came in after they got something to eat. Robyn brought back Long John Silver's food for Terri and Lori and Taco Bell for Peggy and Erik b/c she knew that none of them would eat hospital food.
Chris watched the news as he heard the stories about Lori and Peggys' labor. He was fuming mad for not having his girl with him. He saw on the news that She was gonna be hospitalized for 2 weeks b/c of flu in case it turned into pneumonia. He threw knives and darts at Erik's and Mana;s picture on the wall and cursed at them as he turned the TV to channel 45 ( MTV ). Mandi, the co-host announced that ICE would be co-hosting TRL next month while Carson got geared up for ' Snowed in.' and that She would also be hosting with them. Chris could care less as she announced they would be premiering 4 videos that week. Mon - Dawn,, Tues. - Geri Halliwell, Wed. - Mandy Moore, Thursday - Christina Aguilera, and Friday - M2M and Vitamin C ( duo ). He kissed his fav. poster he had of Terri and pinned it to the ceiling. Silently, he re-plotted every detail so no more mistakes would be made in this second attempt.
