Melissa’s POVI was entering my twenty-eighth week, had been in the hospital for two months already, and I felt myself getting closer, but it was getting harder. My room was all decorated and I was receiving so many flowers that I started sharing them with other patients who were going through difficult times.The days in the hospital passed more quickly because I was constantly receiving visitors. There was always someone from the nursing staff or another hospital employee who would stop by just to chat with me for a little bit. My friends continued their rotation schedule and there was always one or two or several with me, besides Catherine. Hannah spent more time in my room than working, and Fernando, oh, my prince, moved his office to a room next to mine and was always hovering near me.And there were also my parents and my in-laws who, as soon as I came to the hospital, couldn't take it anymore and came to the city, bringing with them Patrick's parents, Lexie's parents, and Cather

Melissa’s POVMy day started off so well! The little celebration Fred had thrown filled me with energy. He was happy, just like me, and all the pain, discomfort and worry; everything was insignificant on this day. We had made it through the most critical phase, the one that would have made everything much harder if my babies had decided to come early."Good morning, darlings! Today is a very special day, isn't it?" Alvaro walked into the room with a big smile and came right over to give me a kiss. "I knew you could do it.""I wouldn't have made it without you, Alvaro! Without any of you who have been so incredible to me." I smiled at him."That's because you're absolutely incredible to everyone." He smiled and turned to Catherine. "Cat, don't be upset, but the hospital staff is completely in love with Mel.""What does that mean, Alvaro?" Catherine put her hands on her round sides, and when she saw the door open, her jaw dropped. "Even you, Dr. Molina!"Alvaro shrugged as a line of doct

Melissa’s POVI was looking at Henry and thinking about the best way to tell him that he had been the target of yet another bet among his friends. Those men were always betting on something; anything was reason enough for them to start wagering on who would get it right. I still remembered the night they decided to bet with Levy's friends about having dinner with us. They had no limits, even though this time I had to give credit for the prank to Catherine and Fernando; those two were the worst when it came to setting up a practical joke."Mini-me, is she ready?" I asked Adele, since I had to leave her in charge of finishing Luna's training."More than ready! Our little butterfly is ready to fly solo," Mini-me smiled at me with the confidence of someone who had done a good job."I'm going to make you both so proud!" Luna said excitedly."What are you three up to?" Henry looked between us, already quite suspicious."Little Henry, childbirth is painful, but I need to say goodbye to you an

Melissa’s POVEverything had gone well up to that point. My six children were alive and that kept me focused; they needed to survive, one day at a time. But they were strong and determined, I felt it in my belly for thirty weeks and two days. Thirty weeks and two days, I already knew that those children would be the type who live in the principal's office at school, who do nothing as expected and that I would need those little GPS collars to find them around the house."Sweetheart, how did you wake up today?" Alvaro entered my room all smiles."Anxious, I want to touch my children, uncle! It's been four days since I was cut in half for those ungrateful little ones to be born and they still haven't wanted to know about me," I complained, and Alvaro laughed out loud."Mel, they need to get strong!" He argued and I wrinkled my nose."See that, Cat, they're now the center of attention." I complained and Catherine smiled."Get used to it, no one's going to visit you anymore, now the visits

Fernando’s POVI was exhausted and I looked at Melissa, wondering how she managed it. She showed no sign of reaching her limit. Every day she was on her feet around the incubators and spent the entire day there. I went to work and came by from time to time, but she was unwavering. If it were not for the dark circles under her eyes, no one could tell she seemed tired.After the sleepless night we had due to Leona's deterioration, I thought she would be ready to lie down and sleep for at least a few hours, but no, she seemed reinvigorated. Our daughter was still at risk, in a very delicate situation, but she had shown improvement and we clung to that. However, Leona was not our only concern; our other boy was still weak too, not as much as Leona, but he was also weak.But that morning brought good news. Leona's slight improvement and our little boy was also doing well, which gave us a breather. We were especially relieved when the fourth baby was placed in Melissa's arms. Our fourth litt
