Kerry sees Emily double over in pain. Kerry: "Abby, Luka quick get in here, it's Emily." Abby: "What is going on Kerry?" Kerry: "Emily is doubling over in pain. Abby and Luka run into the room, where Emily is. Luka: "Emily are you ok?" Emily: "Uh I think I am ok. The babies are sure kicking today." Abby: "Let's put you on the monitor to make sure that everything is ok." Emily: "Ah mom, do I have to. See I am ok now." Luka: "Young lady do not argue with your mother." Emily: "Ok, I will get monitored." Abby takes Emily into a room, and has her monitored. While they are in the room. Josif and Luka are talking about the babies. Josif: "Našto htijenje djeca roditi se?" Luka: "Oni su ne zbog za drugi 4 tjedni. Josif: "Oh JA vidjeti" As they are talking Kerry comes to talk with Luka. Kerry: "We are going to admit Emily to the hospital for monitoring." Luka: "Is everything alright? Kerry: "Emily has gone into pre-mature labor. We are going to monitor her, to make sure everything is going to be ok." Luka: "Ok, we will head upstairs as soon as Emily is settled. Kerry walks back to the room where Emily and Abby are, leaving Josif and Luka in the waiting room. Luka excuses himself and goes to a phone. He dials Thomas's work number. Boss: "Hello Computer Place, this is Jim speaking how may I help you today?" Luka: "Hello my name is Luka Kovac, wanted to know if Thomas is there?" Jim: "Yes he is." Thomas gets on the phone. Luka: "Thomas, you need to come to the hosptial right away, Emily has gone into labor." Thomas: "Is she and the babies ok?" Luka: "They are for right now, Abby, Susan, and Kerry are with her right now." Thomas: "Ok, I am on my way to the hospital right now." Luka: "Ok, see you when you get here." Abby walks into the waiting room, and tells Luka that Emily is being transfered upstairs. A few minutes later they all walk up to the fifth floor to the birthing center. Luka: "Emily how are you feeling?" Emily: "Ok dad, I am scared, it is to early for the babies to be born." Abby: "Twins are born a little early, if they are born now, they have a very good chance of being ok." Emily: 'I know, but I am still scared." Luka walks over and gives his daughter a big hug. While Luka is giving Emily a hug, another contraction hits. Emily: "This one was more intense this time." Abby: "They seem to be getting closer, I think it is time to call Dr. Coburn." Abby gets on the phone with Dr. Coburn. Dr. Coburn tells her that she will be at the hospital in 10 minutes. While they are waiting for Dr. Coburn, Thomas arrives at the hospital. Thomas: "Emily, honey how are you feeling?" Emily: "I feel like crap, just wish these contractions would stop." Thomas: "I am right here for you." While Thomas is rubbing Emily's back, another contraction hits. Emily takes a hold of Thomas's hand and squeezes really hard. A few minutes later Dr. Cobun arrives at the hospital. Dr. Coburn: 'Ok Emily let's take a look, and see what is going on." Dr. Coburn checks to see how far Emily has dilated. Dr. Coburn: "Uh Emily honey, you are fully dilated, and baby number one's head is down in pelvic region. Emily: "You mean it is time to have these babies?" Dr. Coburn: "Yes they are not going to wait, they want out now." The nurse preps Emily, while Dr. Coburn scrubs in. Dr. Coburn: "Ok Emily take a deep breath, and push. Thomas is at Emily's head talking with her, trying to encourage her. Dr. Coburn: "Ok Emily you can rest. On the next contraction, you can push again." Emily: "I don't want to push I am getting so tired." Abby: "Emily you have to push, these babies have to be born." Finally after an hour of pushing the first baby is born. Dr. Coburn: 'Congratulations it is a boy." Emily: "How is he doing dad?" Luka: "He has one powerful set of lungs." Dr. Coburn: " Ok Emily time to have this second one." 20 minutes later Emily gives birth to the second twin. Emily: "How is everybody?" Dr. Coburn: "Both babies are doing very well, but because they wre both born a month early, I want them up in NICU to be monitored." Emily starts to cry, but she understands, that they have to go. Just before they come to transport the kids up to the NICU, Emily requests that her grandfather be there for the naming of the babies. Emily: "djeca imenjak jesu, Joseph Willam, and Jaden Luka." Josif: "Oni jesu dva lijep imenjak Emily: "Hvala vam djed Josif comes over and gives his granddaughter a hug. A few minutes later the team from NICU arrives to transport Joseph and Jaden up there.

A couple of days later. Emily and Thomas are up in the NICU holding their twin sons. Both babies are doing good, and will be able to go home at the end of the week. Just as they are finishing feeding Joseph and Jaden, Kerry and Neela walk in. Kerry: " This place still gives me the creeps." Neela: "None of my babies had to be in NICU, but I remember doing my rotation here. Hated it, just hated it. Kerry: "I remember when Henry was in the NICU, you and Abby took good care of him, while he was here. Neela: "Well lets quit reminscing about the NICU years and go see those two precious babies." Neela and Kerry find Emily and Thomas sitting over in the corner. Thomas is holding Joseph, and Emily is holding Jaden. Emily: "Look Joseph, look Jaden here comes Aunt Neela, and Aunt Kerry." Kerry: "Wow look at you two, you look just like your mom and dad." Emily: "Thank you both for coming and visiting, Morris has been up here already four times today. Look over in the corner." Neela turns her head, and notices that in the corner are three huge stuffed animals, a big bag of clothes and baby supplies. Neela: "Are all of those from Morris?" Emily: "Yes they are, and Morris says he still not done yet. Neela could you please tell him to quit. Between mom and dad, and everybody else buying these two boys gifts, we are going to need a U-Haul truck to take their stuff home." Neela: "I will see what I can do." Emily: "Thank you, so much." As they are talking Abby walks in. She goes over and gives Emily a hug, and gives her two grandboys a kiss on the forehead each. Abby: "Emily, I have visitor for you." Emily: "As long as it is not Morris again." Abby: "I don't think so, Abby goes out and brings the visitor back in. Emily: "Oh my gosh, I cannot believe it is you Dr. Benton?" Peter: "Yep it is me, when I heard that Luka and Abby's daughter was all grown up, married, and just had twins. I had to come and see for myself." Emily: "Well I am glad you could make it. I would like for you to meet my husband Thomas Johnson, and our two sons. Joseph William, and Jaden Luka." Peter shakes hands with Thomas, and bends down to take a closer look at the twins. Peter: "Thomas, Abby here tells me that your mother is Deb Jen?" Thomas: "Yes sir, she is." Peter: "Your mom was a wonderful doctor here, we all miss her." Everybody nods in agreement. A couple of minutes later Dr Raab comes by and checks on the twins. Dr. Raab: "They are both looking and sounding good. How about we set your departure date for Friday?" Emily: "Sounds good to us." Dr. Raab: "Well visiting hours are over, and it is time for everybody to leave, so that these babies can sleep." Everybody gives the twins a good night kiss, and quietly everybody walks out the door.

On Friday, Dr. Raab comes up to the NICU to see if Joseph and Jaden are ready to be released. She checks the twins over, and declares them fit to go home. Emily and Thomas thank Dr. Raab and her staff for the wonderful job they did with the twins. Thomas is loading things onto a cart, when he spots Abby and Luka coming into the NICU. Thomas: "Hey mom, dad over here." Abby: "Looks like you four are getting ready to go home?" Thomas: "Yeah the twins have been cleared to go. I am just packing up our stuff." Luka: "Hey let me help you with this stuff." Thomas: "Alright, I could use an extra set of hands." Emily: "Don't take to long." Thomas gives Emily and kiss. He and Luka then walk out of the NICU toting the supplies for the twins. A few minutes later, Kerry, Susan, Neela, and Sam come up to the twins off. Sam: "Well looks like two little boys get to go home today." Emily: "I can't wait to get them home, and out of here." Kerry: "I know that exact same feeling." Abby nods in agreement. Emily: "How long was Henry in here?" Kerry: "He spent a week in NICU, I was very thankful for that. You on the other hand young lady, you spent 3 months in the NICU". Abby: "Those were the longest three months, I would work the day shift, and your dad would work nights, we practially lived at the hospital. There would be sometimes that grandma Maggie would come and sit with you, so we could go out and get something decent to eat." Luka and Thomas come back to the NICU, and see all the women standing around. Thomas: "Uh Oh, looks like a women's convention." Luka: "Hello ladies, giving mommy pointers to the new mother." He says, just as Abby throws a baby bottle at him. The nurse on duty takes the babies pictures. Thomas and Emily load the kids up in their carseats. When they are finished they say good bye to the NICU, and walk out of the hospital to start their life with their family.

Three months have past. The twins are growing, Emily has started her residency at the hospital, and Thomas is now the manager at his computer company, everything seems to be going pretty good for the couple, or does it. Emily: "Well Thomas I think we should be getting the twins down to bed, and then I am off to bed myself." Thomas: "Yeah sounds like a great idea." Thomas and Emily change Joseph, and Jaden, put them into their pajamas, feed them, and tote them off to their cribs. After putting the twins to bed both Emily and Thomas head off for bed themselves. Thomas: "Everything turned off in the house?" Emily: "Yes it is." Thomas: Well good night." Emily: "Goodnight." Meanwhile across town, Abby and Luka have just finshed doing the dinner dishes, and are ready to head off to bed themselves. Abby: "I will pick Emily up tomorrow, and then after work, we are going to take the twins to buy them their suits for Thanksgiving."" Luka: "Alright, then how about tomorrow we all go out for dinner?" Abby: "Sounds good to me." Abby and Luka head upstairs fall into bed and drift off to sleep. Back at Emily and Thomas's house things seem to be quiet. When all of a sudden Thomas is awaken by the smell of smoke in the house, and then the fire alarm goes off. Thomas: "Emily, quick out of bed, I think there is a fire in the house ." Emily: "OH God no, the twins lets go." Thomas: "It is so smokey in here, I can't see where I am going (cough, cough)." Emily: "We turned everything off, what is happening?" Emily and Thomas finally find their way to the twin's room, both Joseph and Jaden are screaming. They pick up the twins, cover them up with their blankets, and head for the front door, the smoke is getting thicker, it starts choking Emily, Thomas takes Jaden from her and gets the twins outside. Emily and Thomas's next door neighbor has seen what is going on, and runs over to help out. Thomas: "Mrs. Smith, Thank god your here, please take the twins, I need to go back in for Emily." Mrs. Smith: "The fire department is on their way, don't go back in there." Thomas: "I need to go in and get my wife." Mrs. Smith: "You do not need to be another victim." Just as they are talking the fire department pulls up, Thomas runs over to them and tells them that his wife is still in the house. The fire chief and two of his crew members go into the house. When they enter the house, one of the firefighters stumbles onto what he thinks is a rug. Firefighter: "I think I have something here." Fire Chief: "Is it the occupant of the house?" Fire fighter: "Yes it is, lets get her out of here." The first fire fighter picks Emily up, and gets her outside." They start adminstiring oxygen to Emily. Fire fighter: "She is not breathing, starting mouth to mouth. The firefighter starts doing mouth the mouth. Thomas looks on in a panic. He decides he had better call Abby and Luka. Thomas gets on his cell phone, that he had left out in the car that night. He dials their number and waits for somebody to answer. Luka: "Hello, who is this?" Thomas: "Oh I am so glad I was able to wake you up." Luka: "Thomas, is that you? What is wrong?" Thomas: We had a fire in our home tonight, the twins and I were able to get out ok, but Emily could not make it out. The firefighters got her out, and now they are doing mouth to mouth. Luka: "Oh god no, Abby Abby wake up quickly, we have to go over to Emily and Thoma's their has been a fire, and Emily is hurt. Abby: "Oh God, please let them be alright." Luka: "We are on our way over right now." As they are talking, the paramedics have arrived, and they are loading Emily onto a gurney and getting ready to take her to Mercy. Thomas stops them and them to take her to County General. Thomas then calls Luka back, and tells him that Emily is on her way to County General. Luka and Abby head out the door, get in their car, and drive towards County General.

Abby and Luka finally arrive at County General. They park the car and run inside. They are met in the hallway by Susan. Susan gives them an update on Emily. Abby: " Susan, Oh God where is Emily?" Susan: "She is in Tramua one, she inhaled a quite of bit of smoke, we had to intubate her. Luka: "Can we go in and see her? Susan: " Yes you can. Susan walks Abby and Luka to Tramua one. Thomas is sitting by Emily's side, holding her hand and talking with her. When Thomas sees Abby and Luka he stands up, and lets Abby have a seat by her daughter. Thomas: "I am so glad you could make it. I tried everything to get her out of the house. Luka: "Thomas look at me. We are not blaming you for this. You did the right thing, and waited for the fire department to get there. Thomas: "I feel like I could have done more. Thomas overcome with exhaustion falls into Luka's arms and cries like a baby. Luka: "Abby, I am going to take Thomas out for awhile, let him get a breath of fresh air." Abby: "Ok, I will stay with Emily, if anything changes I will let you know." Luka and Thomas walk out the door. Abby brushes the hair out of Emily's eyes. She starts humming the song she sang to Emily and Joseph the night that Joseph died. Baby Mine don't you cry Baby Mine dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart. Baby Mine. As Abby is humming this song, tears are falling down her cheeks. Kerry comes to the room a few minutes later. She notices that Abby has been crying. Kerry: "Hey Abby, how are you doing?" Abby: "Oh I can't loose her Kerry." Kerry: " You are not going to lose her Abby, we are doing everything we can for her." A while later Luka and Thomas enter the room. Thomas goes back over, gives Abby a hug and sits down by Emily again. Morris comes in, and tells everybody that they have a room in ICU ready, and that they will be taking Emily up soon. While they are waiting, Neela and Ray come running into the ER. Neela: "We just heard, Susan called us." Abby: "She is doing good for right now, they had to intubate her, and she will be going to ICU in a few minutes." Ray: "Are the twins ok?" Luka: "The twins are fine, they are staying with Jerry right now. I had better go check on them." Abby: "Could you please bring Joseph and Jaden back here. I think they need to be with their dad right now." Luka nods his head and walks out to get the twins. While he is gone, the attendant comes and gets ready to take Emily upstairs. Abby, Neela, Ray, and Thomas walk out with her. They pass the front desk. Ray goes over and helps Luka with the twins. They catch the next elevator and head up to ICU.

Wow! missed so many updates ...you made me smile like a geek, when the twins were born...ah, twin baby boys...I was drooling over my poor keyboard (as usual)...and then you made me spit my juice all over the computer (as usual my computer paying for all my display of emotions ...) when you wrote about Morris been the babies' number one visitor...is was so sweet and funny ... the part that totally cracked me up was when Abby said she had a visitor for Emily and Emily replied: "As long as it is not Morris again." hehehe that was so good Keep on! and please: ...SAVE EMILY!!! because if something bad happens to her, you'll have to face: Rory 'the maniac'...hehehe

A few minutes later Luka and Ray get off the elevator and head for the ICU. They enter Emily's room. Abby takes Jaden out of Ray's arms, and gives him a small kiss on the forehead. The nurses are working on Emily they are getting her set up, and comfortable. After about 20 minutes they say their good byes and leave the room. Neela: "Thomas, would you like us to take the twins tonight. That way you, Abby, and Luka can stay at the hospital tonight." Thomas: "Thank you Neela, that would be great. Neela: "Anything else we can do for you?" Thomas: "Could you have Susan give my mom a call, tell what is going on." Neela: "Sure I can do that for you." Luka: "I need to call tata, and tell him what has happened." Abby: "Good idea, Maggie should be called as well." Luka leaves the room to give his tata a call. Luka: "Tata , halo ovaj je Luka." Josif: "Luka moj djeèak , Kako ste?" Luka: "Slušajte tata , Emilija je nanositi povredu." Josif: "Što je dogoditi se to moj anðeo?" Luka: "Ima je napasti Emilija kuæa. Ona inhalirati neki dana dim." There is some silence on the phone. Luka: "Tata , jesu te pa ipak ima?" Josif: "Da Ja sam pa ipak ovdje. Mama i JA jesu iduæi u istrèati noæašnji." Luka: "Tata mama nije kvalitetno to kurzirati." Josif: "Tvoj mama je ištanje vidjeti njoj velik grandbabies. Ne raspravljati sa mene Luka. Mi æemo biti ima jednom sutra. I will call you from zraèna luka." Luka: "Alright tata , Mi æemo biti èekivanje za tvoj pozvati sutra. Reæi mama JA hatar njoj , i Volim te to. Do viðenja." Luka hangs up the phone and heads back to Emily's room. Luka: " I called tata, and he and mama are going to take the next flight out." Abby: "That is great that your mama is going to come out with him this time. Luka: "Mama should not be traveling, her heart is very weak, but she insists on making the trip. Abby: "I hope she will be alright on the flight. When she gets here tomorrow, we will have the heart specialsist take a look at her." Luka: "Sounds like a good plan to me." Abby and Luka decide to leave the room for a while, they are going to go downstairs and get a bite to eat. Neela and Ray have taken the twins home for the night. Thomas is alone with Emily in her room. He is holding her hand, and taking softly to her. Thomas: "Emily if you can hear me, squeeze my hand." Thomas repeats himself again, and with the next repeat Emily squeezes Thomas's hand. Thomas: "That is good Emily. I have a few things to tell you. Your djed i baka are coming from Croatia tomorrow. It would be nice if you could be awake for them. I overheard your dad say, that your baka is coming with your djed also." While Thomas is talking with Emily, she starts to open her eyes.

Here is the next update. It has a sad part in it, but it does not involve Emily.
Thomas notices that Emily is opening her eyes. He runs out of the room looking for Abby and Luka. He runs down the hallway to the elevator, just as he pushes the button the door opens, and Thomas almost runs into Abby. Thomas: "Mom, come quick." Abby: "Thomas, slow down, what is wrong?" Thomas: " It's Emily, Oh please come quick." Thomas grabs Abby's hand and drags her down the hall back to Emily's room. Thomas: "Well look, she's awake." Abby walks over to Emily's bed and notices that Emily has indeed woke up. Abby: "This is so wonderful, I am going to go and find the doctor who is taking care of you and have you extubated." Thomas: "Ok that would be great." Abby runs out of the room to find the doctor. Thomas gets on the phone, to try and find where Luka is. Abby comes back to the room, she cannot seem to find the doctor anywhere. A few minutes later Luka comes in the room, and notices that Emily is awake. Abby tells him that she cannot locate the doctor. Luka calls downstairs, to see who Emily doctor is. A few minutes later Kerry comes up, and signs off to have Emily extubated. She gives Luka permission to extubate Emily. Luka: "Ok Emily, deep breath in, and exhale." Emily: "Coughing, as she is trying to get her breath." Abby: "How are you feeling?" You gave us quite a scare." Emily: "What happened?" The last I remembered I was running out of my house with the twins, Oh God where are the twins?" Thomas: "They are fine, they are staying with Neela and Ray." Emily: "The next thing I know I wake up here, with some tube in my throat." Thomas: "You inhaled quite a bit of smoke, they had to intubate you, and put you ICU, until you got better." I am so glad you are awake, your grandparents are on their way now. Luka: "That reminds me, we had better get home and get some sleep. We have to pick tata, and mama up from the airport tomorrow. Abby: "Yeah we better leave these two alone for the evening now. We will see you tomorrow. Emily: "Ok see you tomorrow." Luka, Abby, and Kerry walk out leaving the two love birds alone for the night.
The next morning Luka awakens and gets ready to go to the airport. Tata called from New York, and they were just getting ready to board the plane in New York. Two hours later Abby and Luka are sitting in the airport terminal, they are waiting for tata and mama's plane to land. The announcement for their flight has just been announced. Luka walks over to the door, waiting to see his family again. Luka: "I see tata, but I am not seeing mama." Abby: "Oh I hope nothing has happened?" Abby gets a lump in her throat. Luka: "Halo tata , gdje je mama?" (Hello dad, where is mama). Josif: " Oh Luka moj djeèak. JA ne znati kako reæi vam ovaj."(Oh Luka my boy, I don't know how to tell you this). Luka: "Tata , gdje je mama?"(Dad, where is mama). Josif: "Mama izumro danju letenje from New York to Chicago. Njoj srce je dao vanjska strana.(Mama died on route from New York to Chicago, her heart gave out). Luka: "Oh Bog nijedan , ne mama."(Oh God no, not mama). Abby comes over and takes Luka in her arms, as Luka crumples to the floor. Luka keeps saying over and over again, "ne mama , ne moj mama.(no mama, not my mama). Josif comes over and gives his daughter in law a hug. Abby tells him how sorry she is for his loss. There are tears coming out of Abby's eyes now also. Josif: "Mama , ištanje toliko vidjeti njoj velik grandbabies , i vidjeti što gospoðica Emilija strašan biti.(Mam, wanted so much to see the great grandbabies, and to see what a young lady Emily grew to be)." Abby: "Mama would have been very proud of her granddaughter, and her great grandsons." Josif: "JA znati ali Bog opozvao je njoj home , i ona je gotovs to iæi."(I know, but God called her home, and she was ready to go). Luka composes himself, and asks tata where they are suppose to pick mama up at. Josif tells Abby and Luka, that the funeral home close to the airport was coming to pick up mama's body, and then we can decide what to do with it, when it gets to the funeral home. Abby, Luka, and Josif get his bags, and head for the funeral home.
