Mystic, rushed in by Danny, is soon whisked off into another room, and Danny is told that he isn't allowed to follow, sicne they're not married,and will have to wait in the waiting room. Knowing Mystic, she'll probably bug the nurses until they fuinally let Danny in.

He sits waiting, for news, any news, hopefully good news, for both Mystic and the babies. It was too early for them to be born, and he knew they could die if they were born now. He sighed deeply, resting his head in his hands.

After about an hour and a half, a doctor comes out and informs Danny that he can go see Mystic if he wishes, and tells him the room number before going off to flirt with the nurses. They gave Mystic a medication that may prevent the babies from coming, for now, but it has side effects: it's making her heart race, and she's getting a high fever.

He makes his way back to see her, through the halls and the hustle and bustle of busy nurses. He found the room and opened the door slowly, peeking inside before actually entering. He moves closer to her, smiling. "Hey there..." he said quietly.

"Hi," she says weakly. She'd prefer to be sitting up further--right now they have her lying almost flat, at a very slight angle. And she'd been told to try not to move too much. Which she hates, because she dosn't want to seem lazy.

He smiled lightly, moving to her side, resting a hand on her shoulder. "Are you guys doing okay?" he said softly. The doctors hadn't given him any information other than the typical, go have a look.

She shrugs a little, shaking her head. "Alright, I guess..I'm glad you're here." She smiles. She doesn't want to tell Danny that she doesn't think the medicine is working..Of course, that might just be her being scared. The doctor had told her he'd be back shortly, to check her again.

"It'll be fine. But just out of curiousity, how far along are you?" he asked softly. He gave a reassuring smile, although he too was frightened. He didn't know what could happen, but inside he was hoping for the best. He desperately wanted Mystic and the triplets to be okay.

She swallows hard. "Twenty four weeks..." Sure, it's possible for a baby to survive at 24 weeks, but they need very intensive care..And even then, they usually are singetons.

Danny swallows hard. He knew that was too early, but babies had survived. A friend's baby had survived at that age. "Um, if it makes you more...confident...I had a friend that had a baby at just under 24 weeks, and she's fine now, just a little small, and she has to see the doctor a lot, but she's normal Mystic, a normal teenager." he said with a smile, remembering Kayla, the little girl.

She smiles, trying to seem a little bit more brave. But she's having three: that alone will reduce their chance, plus she'd been told just the other day that they'd be usually small. She wishes there were something else she could do, feels like this is her fault. "That's great.."

Danny sighs. "It's going to stop...the doctor said so. They'll have a few more weeks Mystic, they'll be fine, and so will you." he said, his words soft and caring. "You've done your best, and it's going to be okay." He hoped his words were true, but he wasn't sure. He wished that the doctors could assure him that everything would be okay, but so far it had been touch and go with any bit of information.

She wishes she could believe Danny, that everything would be okay..But something in the back of her mind just keeps telling her that no matter what he says, it won't be alright.

He sighed deeply, dropping a kiss on her forehead. He wished that he could believe himself, but he can't. He expects the worst...something he developed in the army.

She sniffles a little, and is about to say something when she hears a knock at the door. A doctor enters, with that same smile plastered on his face that every other doctor has. He asks Danny to step aside, or he can step out if he wants.

Danny nods and moves to Mystic's head, offering his hand. He kisses her forehead again. "It's okay." he whispered.

The doctor examines her, asks some questions, then looks at the monitors, and Mystic's chart. he asks a few more questions, then sighs, and says he'll be right back. Mystic tilts her head back so she can look at Danny. She's even more scared now: it's worse, for her, sicne the doctor didn't say either way yet, but said he'd be back.

He smiled as he looked at her. He mouthed "it's alright" and placed his hands on her shoulders. He hoped the doctor would be back with good news, instead of the news he figured he'd return with.

The doctor returns after a couple minutes. "I'm sorry," he says, frowning, though he's only doing it because he's required to at least pretend he cares about his patients. "But there's nothing else we can do." Mystic sniffles and bites her lower lip, closing her yes, struggling not to cry as the doctor starts to push her bed out of the room, toward the OR.

Danny kisses her cheek before they snatch her away. "I'll be here when you wake up, and so will three beautiful babies." he said, trying to be strong, though fear was eating him apart on the inside.

Mystic sniffles again, a tear rolling down her cheek. They wheel her into the OR, put a mask over her mouth and nose, and soon she's unconscious. Just minutes later, a single incubator is wheeledout. yes, just one: but two babies are init, the two boys. The doctros have figured out that, with multiples, if they are close to one another, they stand a better chance of recovering. They're rushing, though, and one nurse gestures to Danny without looking at him, that if he wants to see the boys, he can, but he'll have to run with them.

He moved quickly alongside the nurses, looking at the babies. "They're beautiful." he whispered. But there was only two..."Where's the other one? They were triplets..." he said, his voice shaking. Had one died, had something happened? He swallowed hard, awaiting her answer.

She doesn't have time to answer, becuase just then they push the incubator into the elevator, and it closes. But another nurses approaches Danny, and asks him, "Did you have some questions?"

He turns to her and shakes his head out of confusion. "Um, yeah. They...they were three, they were triplets. There was only two boys there." he said, his voice unsteady.

"Ahh, hold on, I'll go check." She turns and heads back into the room she came from. Then she comes back, looking sad. "I'm sorry..The other one--a girl--she was stillborn. They tried to resucitate her, but it didn't work."
