Ben moves to lay down beside him, taking his hand. It wasn't long before Thomas was fast asleep, the first labor and deleviery having exhausted him.

[Lovebite]

Thomas woke up slowly after an hour with long, quiet moans as he turned over slightly and gripped Benjamin's hand tighter,"Ben..."He complained, shaking his head and trying to sit up,"Ben... Help me up."His face was twisted up in discomfort and he felt wet again.

[018Luxio]

Ben helps him up, Thomas swaying slightly as he attempted to get his footing.

[Lovebite]

Thomas held his belly, shifting his footing apart more as he grimaced deeply and moaned low, biting his lower lip with an arm braced against the nearest wall. "Ohh..."He breathed out, rocking from side to side when harsher contraction gripped him like a vice, forcing himself to stay standing. "Ben."He whined, gritting his teeth until his jaw locked and he whimpered as his knees buckled but he reached for his lover and caught himself.

"What the hell-"A voice familiar to Tom spoke from the doorway in the midst of his most recent contraction,"What are you doing here with him?"Joel asked Benjamin directly without a care for Thomas, he was an over weight man with a bald head.

[018Luxio]

Ben doesn't pay Joel any attention as he caught Thomas helping him to stand as Ben's arms wrapped around Thomas' waist after Ben had wrapped Thomas' arms around his neck.

[Lovebite]

Thomas looked towards the open doorway and grasped onto his lovers collar as he flushed in the face though couldn't think of anything to say. Nor gain the breath to do so as he moaned out again, leaning into the other and bearing down this time until he was red in the face from exertion.
The man asked again what he was doing here, putting out the cigar he had in his mouth and frowning at the sight,"He doesn't need your help."He said, slipping the rolled tobacco into his suit pocket,"Let him go."

[018Luxio]

"How would you know what he needed and didn't need? You get tired of dealing with him so you toss him in here for other people to do it for you." Ben runs a hand down Tom's back as the contraction peaks. "Easy, don't try to overdo it all at once."Ben whispers into Tom's ear.

[Lovebite]

"How wouldn't I? He complains all the time about shit he wants."The old man frowned at the two of them then the children,"Don't you dare tell me what to do with my partner. I'll cut you off from your pension in a heartbeat you brat."He told him and Thomas was sick of the fighting already as he whined softly and looked up,"Go away! I don't want you here."He told him and moaned again, rocking his hips and nodding at what Ben said to him, hands going to rub his tight belly as it cramped.

[018Luxio]

Ben continues to run his hand along Thomas' back, no longer paying any attention to Joel. "You heard him." He then moves Thomas back over to the bed, giving him the option to sit or lean against it if he wanted.

[Lovebite]

Joel turned red in the face from anger and embarrassment, turning on his heel to storm off out of the room heavily and slam the door back in place. The abrupt noise startled both Bella and the new baby, though the baby soon began to cry while Bella only looked confused,"Daddy?"She started and Thomas leant forwards against the bed on his knees, arms folded and pressing his face into them for a moment as he groaned lowly.

[018Luxio]

Ben lightly kisses Tom's cheek before he moves to pick up the newborn, rocking it gently in his arms to quiet its crying before he makes his way over to Bella, sitting down beside her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "It's alright sweetheart."

[Lovebite]

The baby girl whined into Ben's chest as she cried, the laboring male moaned out into the sheets of the bed and rolled his hips. "Ughh..."He squeezed his eyes shut, whining at the pain of the unborn baby shifting downwards inside of him. Bella leant into Ben. As he held her sister and she held onto his shirt,"Is Papa okay?"She asked, and the man at the bed nodded quickly,"Yes."He huffed, gritting his teeth for a moment then looking towards his family,"I'm okay, sweetie."He panted and rested his head on his arms.

[018Luxio]

"Papa is fine, having a baby is just hard." Ben lightly kisses Bella's hair as he slowly rocks the other.

[Lovebite]

Bella looked from Tom up to Ben and leant into his chest as she closed her eyes, letting herself fall back asleep quietly. While the newborn baby quieted down too, while Thomas looked back at Ben,"Is it too late for drugs?"He asked hopefully with a playful smile before burying his face into his forearms again with a groan.

[018Luxio]

"You know the answer to that." Ben carefully gets up before covering Bella up again. He then lays Taylor down again and makes his way over to Tom.

[Lovebite]

"Yeah. I do."He nodded, his eyes tearing up from the mix of hormones and his thoughts on what had just happened between his husband and Ben. "He's going to divorce me."He whimpered, knowing that he needed to focus on giving birth to their second child he couldn't, it was too much to not think about. With a baby decending lower and giving him the worst cramps in his life, he might as well think of his future if he didn't stay with Joel.

[018Luxio]

Ben looks at him for a few minutes before looking at the door. At any second he was waiting for his guards, the ones he had managed to slip away from and that still hadn't found him, to come busting through the door to take him home. If he still had a home. Joel had most likely already told his father and he didn't really want to think about what was going to happen sometime in the near future, it was better to focus on now, on Tom, and being a part of the birth of his children.

He comes over to Tom before slowly running a hand along his back as he kisses his hair. "That's not important right now, none of it. I'm here, and I'll take care of all of you, one way or another."

[Lovebite]

Thomas pulled away from Benjamin slightly when he went in to kiss his head, he frowned a bit and ran his free hand down to rub his belly. The other grasping onto the sheets of the hospital bed, he shook his head slightly,"Together, we're broke."He said, looking up at him,"How are you going to take care of me...or all of us when you can't even take care of yourself?"He asked simply, moving his hand from his belly to the others shoulder as he met his eyes.

[018Luxio]

"I'll figure it out, just don't worry about it right now." Ben runs a hand along Thomas' back.

[Lovebite]

Thomas tried to argue, though ended up just letting his head fall forwards again as he rocked himself slowly, moaning into the bedsheets. He kneeled on the floor, hands moving to rub over his belly as he breathed heavily though slowly,"How many left?"He asked, not sure how long he had been laboring now,"The last?"
