“Mari, tell Demetrius and my father, please. My words came out barely audible. The pain was almost unbearable and I felt blood pouring out.
"I'll do that when we get to the hospital." Now I have to pay attention to you, everything will be fine.
"What if it doesn't?" Please Maria, if something happens to my children I will never get over it. — the tears insisted on falling, no they didn't insist, I wanted to cry a lot.
I was grateful Maria was with me, however, all I wanted most was Demetrius by my side.
— Lívia, your children are going to be fine. Marcos said, giving me strength too.
At that point I didn't care what he did, he was being kind, put me in the car and helped us.
He looked at me the moment I looked at him and furrowed his brows.
“Don't close your eyes. Talk to me. he said, seeming to guess the weight on my eyelids.
I was weaker than ever, my mouth was dry and my eyes wanted to close.
- I am unable. - I murmured .
"Have you thought of naming the babies yet?" he asked and I started crying again.
- Not yet. Demetrius and I were very undecided. I replied in a shaky voice.
— What name do you like best at the moment? I heard that pregnant women like different names every month. My mom said I had like ten names before she chose Marcos.
I smiled.
“I like Sofia at the moment, but until I look at her, I think I'll change my mind.
“Or no, Sofia is a beautiful name.
It worked incredibly well for Marcos to talk to me, as we arrived at the hospital when I least expected it. He made a point of picking me up again and when we got in, they rushed to assist me urgently, they were quick, Marcos helped me to sit in a wheelchair and they took me to the preparation room.
“I'll call them. Everything will be fine, I'm here! - Maria said giving me comfort.
She left the room and the doctor who always took care of my appointments came in.
"Doctor?" My babies, listen to their hearts to see if they are beating please... - I asked.
— Honey, calm down... Please, your children need your strength and your calm, you can't get upset, if nothing can go wrong, can you stay calm? — the doctor asked, arranging some devices — I'm going to do the touch exam on you, okay? Relax your body please.
A strong vertigo hit me and before I could do anything, a weakness took over me, everything went dark, I tried to call for the doctor, ask for help, the discomfort was strong, but my voice did not come out . I lost all senses and passed out.

We arrived at almost two o'clock, there was no time to call home because it's been very busy since we arrived, we were going to start a new meeting in five minutes.
A strange tightness began to build up in my chest, an anguish, like the one Lívia said she was feeling and regret gripped me for not having stayed with her. But I was so optimistic that everything would work out, that nothing bad would happen, that at the time I just thought she was being dramatic.
What if something was really happening?
I took the cell phone and looked for Maria's number in the agenda, but my cell phone rang first, it was Maria herself calling.
- Maria? All good? — I greeted — Is Lívia close by?
“Demetrius, you need to stay calm. Livia felt severe pain, her water broke and she is in the hospital now. — Maria's voice was shaky, the situation seemed serious.
My body went cold and my heart almost stopped.
"Fucking hell!" My children will be born! My God, I can't believe it... So soon? She turned seven months old this week. Where is she? Can you talk to her? I exclaimed desperately.
“I'll be honest because I needed to be strong in front of her the whole time. Livia was bleeding a lot, there's something wrong, the babies are only seven months old, ok, they're twins, but I saw the blood.
“Shit, at the last appointment they still weren't heavy enough and that was only two weeks ago. I shuddered at the thoughts that occurred to me. I'm coming back right now.
I hung up.
My head was racing. My children were about to be born and I was far away. Maria told me it was serious and it really seemed to be, it was too early and she had lost a lot of blood.
- My God, take care of the love of my life and my children, I beg you. — I held back the tears that wanted to roll and went to meet Heitor.
I found him next to a water fountain, drinking water with some of the businessmen.
- Hector! Lívia is in the hospital, my children are going to be born, I have to leave now, sorry everyone but there is nothing more important than this. — Heitor nearly choked on the water he was drinking.
"But it's too early for the babies to be born!" Didn't you say that they would gain the necessary weight in the end? My daughter is fine?
— I don't know... — I swallowed hard — I need to be by her side right now! Like I'm an idiot, she told me not to come. I nearly smacked myself in the face, but this wasn't the time.
“Let's go right now. Hector moved worriedly.
"Take my jet." I will send the pilot to prepare everything with emergency. one of the men spoke.
- Thanks. — I thanked him and left the room, eager to find a dark corner and cry, but this wasn't the time for that.
My lives were on the line and I wasn't there to hold the hand of the woman I loved more than anything in the world.
The owner of the jet informed that everything was ready, so we ran towards the runway and entered, the pilot took off immediately.
I clasped my hands together and bowed my head.
— Be strong my love... Be strong for our children, my heart is there for you my princess. I whispered .
“My little girl is going to be fine. She has to stay, her and my grandchildren. — Heitor cried softly but I heard, he put his hands on his face.
I prayed all the time begging God to protect the most important people in the world for me.

- Fast! She's running out of pulse! Try to keep her alive until we get the babies out! the doctor shouted the orders.
"We're losing her, Doctor!" Hurry up.
"Try to keep your heart rate steady!" One is already born. The boy!
When the boy cried, Lívia automatically woke up, she was anesthetized but heard her son's cry as an awakening. The cry of life she generated within herself gave her life back the moment she breathed the air of this world.
The heart that thought about stopping now just wanted to be stronger for the birth of her beautiful girl.

"Doctor..." I whispered.
- She woke up! — the nurse shouted to the doctor who was delivering — Miss, stay calm, we'll take the other baby out.
“The girl was born. — the doctor informed and I couldn't see what was going on, I could only hear running footsteps and low murmurs.
I didn't hear my daughter cry like my son and that squeezed my heart, I wanted to hear her, strong and healthy, but it didn't happen, I wanted to hold them together after they were born, as I dreamed so many times, caressing my belly and feeling them to mix.
"Why didn't my daughter cry?" I asked, but no one answered me.
"Doctor?" Nurse? Someone answer me why she didn't cry? - despair took over my chest, my heart beat faster and the body froze, just thinking about the possibility of losing one of my children.
“Calm down, miss. She's going to cry, just calm down so you don't complicate your surgery. - the nurse answered and I felt another strong vertigo and passed out again.
I woke up again already in a room, I felt naked, with only a sheet covering me, my back hurt a little and my head was about to explode.
I jumped when I saw Maria enter.
- Maria? Where are my children? Where is my daughter? She is fine? They are well? I asked.
"Do you promise you'll stay calm?" You had a complicated birth, if you don't calm down, you could have sequelae and more complications and how will you be able to take care of your children?
"I'll try..." I mumbled and Maria started to cry and hugged me. I pushed her lightly — Maria? She's fine isn't she?
— Lívia... — she began , but at that moment the doctor entered the room with a clipboard in his hand.
- How are you feeling? - he asked.
- Good. I want to see my children, when can I? — I wanted to get up but Maria stopped me.
— Lívia my love, you need to calm down, you just had a risky cesarean section, I beg you to calm down... —he said and hugged me, I collapsed because I felt that the news would not be good.
