Everyone was so happy to finally be home, there was hardly a word heard that first night, only sighs of relief. Later that night as Kaitlyn had cuddled into his arms for the night, "You're so quiet hun, you sure your're okay? Even Mom and Dad are worried." Isaac asked. "I'm fine Isaac honest I am. It's, It's just, Isaac don't take it wrong I really loved sharing your life on the road, but I am so relieved it's done and we're home for good." she cried. "Baby don't feel bad. I'm relieved too, it's just I'm to macho to admit it honestly like you. Kaitlyn? Kaitlyn. oh sleep baby, I'll tell you in the morning how much I love you." Isaac said holding her and nodding off. The morning of their final concert of the tour came all too soon for Kaitlyn as Isaac quielty slid from their bed placing pillows where he had lain. He dressed and made he was to the kitchen, "Before you ask she's fine. She was quiet because she didn't want to hurt my feelings if I found out how glad she was to be home with no more road trips. She's just worn out is all." Isaac explained letting Kaitlyn sleep until sound checks, waking and dresing her so that she would have time to eat before heading to the Maybee Center. As soon as they were done, Kaitlyn was back home in bed asleep once more and slept until it was time to leave for the concert, her eating on the trip in. That night Kaitlyn was either on stage singing or in the dressing room resting. Kaitlyn joined them for the final curtain to apologize for her limited appearance that she was just worn out and that she was so thankful to finally be back home for good, to await the birth of their daughters. She returned home that night and was soon back into her pre-tour routine of sleeping, eating, sleeping with weekly outings to the doctors office so he could closely monitor her health and church on Sundays. The Tulsa concert was Kaitlyn's last public appearance until Christmas to keep her word to Garth. The second week in December during a spurt of feeling great, they managed to tape their duet, Garth and his guitar and Kaitlyn, singing a medley of Christmas carols. They managed to capture it on the second take and Garth's people worked frantically to include the duet in the Christas Special he had taped even before their singing debute at the first Tulsa Concert. The night the special aired, Kaitlyn had rearranged her hectic schedule of sleeping and eating to join the family for the show even though it began at her now normal bed time. As hard as she tried she fell asleep before her duet aired but the girls were active throughout and it was assumed they approved. Their lives were filled with Kaitlyn trying to get her to eat more, even hiring a nutritionist to assure every bite provided the most, and her sleeping more as the girls were increasingly more active up until the first doctor visit in January when Doc Baker suggested for the first time, "Kaitlyn we have to consider you health also. My god child you're seven months along, as far as I've researched that's a record but that aside you know the girls are healthy, let's do a C-section and deliver them while you're still healthy. The girls need you healthy the possibilities of you're having a stroke increase from this point on and I strongly suggest we do it soon." Doc Baker said. "Schedule it." Isaac said as Kaitlyn went livid. "How dare you make that decision for me." she screamed trying desperately to get up and leave. "Kaitlyn I can't lose you. I can't." Isaac pleaded trying to hold her as the rest left the room closing the door. "No don't touch me." she yelled. "Baby please try and understand." Isaac begged backing away from her. "I don't want to understand. It hurts too much. Isaac I don't know what to do. I'm scared." Kaitlyn said bringing her hands to her face and crying. "Let me hold you?" he pleaded caressing her hair. "Please don't lock me out, talk to me?" Isaac begged. "I can't right now. I don't know what to think. I want to go home okay. Please just take me home." Kaitlyn cried as Isaac helped her to her feet and led her to the van and they headed home in silence. "Daddy stop. I want to go to church, pull in okay." Kaitlyn asked and they walked her into church. She sat in the front pew staring at the stained glass picture of Mary and baby Jesus searching for an answer for what seemed an eternity until Isaac sat beside her handing her a nutrition bar to eat, holding a Tay shake for her to eat. "I've prayed Isaac and I still don't know what to do. I guess I'll just have to trust you, I don't know what else to do." Kaitlyn said laying her head on his shoulder "I don't know that I was right now or not Kaitlyn. I mean I was right I can't lose you, just can't. You come before anything else and you always will. But I don't know your body, only you can make that decision and I shouldn't have spoke for you." Isaac said. "But you do have a right, you're the one that pays the consequences if I'm wrong here. You're the one that has to deal with three babies and a stroked out wife, if I'm wrong. I'm being selfish wanting things my way or no way, God why don't you just show me what to do?" Kaitlyn said crying all over again as Isaac held her. "Kaitlyn I don't have any answers either." Isaac said rocking her slowly. "Isaac I want to go home now, I'm tired." Kaitlyn said and they made the rest of the trip home and she headed to bed to nap. The entire family was troubled over the newest development walking around on eggshells trying desperately not to upset her any more than she already was. The next morning she had Isaac call and schedule the C-section, in four days the girls would be born. Kaitlyn struggled with the decision constantly praying and talking to the girls and withdrawing from the rest of the world for the next couple of days. The family tried everything they could think of to try and help but not even Zoe's visits helped. Even the girls were saddened, evidenced by their growing inactivity. It got to the point Kaitlyn documented their movements not taking any chances that they were in distress. The night before the birth of their daughters was especially hard, Kaitlyn tossed and turned most of the night until about 3am when the answer to her prayers came to her.
