Silas frowned heavily, his height and muscle mass was yet again a concern; his children took after him already in bone structure, it was unfair and he hated himself for it... He did not voice these opinions as he watched the back and forth between Marc and Sidney. His frown deepened of course, when he heard that the twins would likely come earlier than the intended forty weeks.
He laid his head close to Sidney's on the cot and watched as Marc set up the ultrasound machine "You are my main concern, Sidney..." Silas whispered, low enough that Marc would not hear - even in the small exam room - "Yes, I love our kids already... but I want you to be safe... I cannot get another one of you from the clinic." -- he hoped what he was saying made sense, but even in his mind it sounded weird, and he had no idea how to explain what he meant.
Yes, he wanted his children to be born happy and healthy... but Sidney was his world now, children or not - losing Sidney was not an option... They would always be able to try again should something happen to the twins, but Sidney being in danger of death... That pierced his heart like a knife and he could not think of losing the man he had come to love so deeply.
