No one says anything all the way to the hospital.

She has to be okay.

What if something happens to her, or the babies?

I really hate that she wasn’t with us so that we could take care of her.

It has been hard enough for me to let her out of my sight as it is.

We make it to the hospital in record time.

I spot Grayson and Ethan in the hallway.

They give us a rundown of what happened, but it wasn’t much.

Kyla is in the room with her while they look her over and run tests.

It takes hours and hours of waiting.

Holly was being admitted to the hospital for a few days. When she moved up to her room, we all came in and sat around her, waiting for her to tell us what had happened.

Holly looks at all of us. She looks completely exhausted and scared, and I take her hand in mine.

“They said I have a placental abruption, and they needed to monitor me for the next few days. I need to go on bedrest, and they are giving me medication to help the babies lungs develop since they might be born prematurely. They scheduled an appointment for next week, and I’ll have to get checked every week. They want to keep our babies in me for as long as they can.”

No one says anything for a few minutes while we all absorb her words.

“We will do whatever you need,” Braxton says, cupping Holly’s face in her hands.

Tears well in her eyes. “I’m scared,” she whispers.

“Me too, baby, me too,” he whispers back, and kisses her on the head.

“I was actually on my way to pack and tell you guys that I was ready to give you another shot,” she says softly.

“Well, we will get your stuff for you and anything you need to help you through this bedrest,” Dylan says, and we all nod our heads in agreement.

“What if it was something I did?” Holly says brokenly.

Kyla walks up. “No, the doctors said it’s not something that you can really prevent. It’s just something that happens. Nothing you did caused this,” she says firmly.

“Not even running into the wall after seeing Levi’s ass?” Holly asks, looking at her friend with sad eyes.

“Not even seeing his ass was enough to cause this,” Kyla says.

“Wait, what?” I ask in shock.

“You saw Levi’s ass?” Dylan asks, just as shocked.

Holly shrugs. “I was going to tell Kyla that I was ready to come home, and there was Levi nailing Ethan against the recliner.”

“I don’t even know what to say to that,” Braxton says, looking stunned.

“How did it look?” Dylan asks, breaking the stunned silence.

“Yours is way better,” Holly says with a wink.

Dylan looks over at Levi with a smug look on his face.
