A/N: hello guys! This is my first fan fiction! I assure you, I tried my best, so it may not be that bad. Constructive criticism is welcome! (some spelling/grammar mistakes) (no pairings yet, though there may be some wen-dip in later chapters.)
Chapter 1
This was it.
This was the day they had been preparing for the last nine months.
Sarah and Robert pines had rushed to the hospital as fast as they could. They were going way over the speed limit, and had passed three red lights. But, right now, Robert could care less. They had to get to the hospital as quick as possible, and would worry about the tickets later.
Sarah was sitting in the passenger seat, despite her husband telling her she should lay down in the back seat. She was nervous, and a cold sweat ran down her forehead. She gasped as they ran over a speed bump. "Robert, try not to kill us before we actually get there!" "sorry dear!" Robert replied, still determined to reach their goal.
They had reached the hospital.
Robert practically kicked the car door down trying to get out. He helped his wife out and carried her across the parking lot, all the way to the front door. They came through the door quickly, and walked to the front desk. Robert had an alert, urgent, exited look in his eye, while Sarah had beads of sweat on her forehead, with a look of unknowing, and happiness plastered on her face. "Name?" the receptionist said. "Pines" Robert replied with a gasp. The receptionist surveyed the couple before her. The gasping, panting, yet pure excitement and joy made her know what was happening: they were having a baby. The surrounding nurses quickly caught on with this, and escorted them to a room.
Priscilla and Preston Northwest were rich, fancy snobs who were staying in California for a visit. Priscilla said she wanted to move to Beverly hills one day and buy the most expensive and grand mansion available. Currently, they lived in a town called Gravity Falls on the largest property in the state. Still, that wasn't enough for her. she wanted to move to a grand city. she wanted to be well known in the movie star community. And most of all, she wanted a grand, rich, and luxurious place for their child to be born.
But it didn't matter what she wanted.
Preston wanted to have a son who would carry on the family name, and who would continue running his business empire. He wanted to stay in their town since all his factories and company HQ's were nearby.
Priscilla wanted a daughter to continue showing off how rich, talented, and perfect their family was. Still, she knew her husband wanted a son, and she knew the importance of their family name, so she prepared for a boy.
They hadn't expected for the baby to come so soon.
They would have gone to the most prestigious, fancy hospital in the region, but they didn't have enough time. The limo pulled into the parking lot, and Preston read the sign. 'Welcome to Piedmont medical hospital' "Not exactly the fanciest, but we will have to make do" He said. He grabbed his wife's hand, not out of anger or annoyance, but out of love. Priscilla was surprised by this, but quickly accepted the welcoming gesture. They walked through the hospital doors like that, with their hand wrapped around the other's lovingly.
Sarah was now in her 12th hour of labor. The tension was killing Robert, so Sarah told him he could get some water and fresh air. He was reluctant, but soon gave in to his wife's requests. He sat down on one of the chairs in the hallway. "I will only be here for a minute" he thought "then I will return to Sarah." He barely finished his thought before falling to sleep from exhaustion.
About two hours later, The twins were born. Sarah was happy, but a little sad her husband was not there to witness their birth, but she was a forgiving woman and knew he was exhausted, so she let it go. She held them both in her arms. Her and Robert had already decided on their names on the realization she was having twins. Mabel, the girl, was an ounce larger than her brother. She had beautiful, curious green eyes, that filled Sarah with happiness. The boy, named Mason, was a mere five minutes younger than his twin, and had Hazel eyes, with a tiny hint of blue in them. He also had a strange birthmark on his forehead in the shape of the big dipper, which Sarah loved. The twins stayed particularly quiet, as long as they were touching one another. Sarah handed them to the nurse, who took them to have a small check-up; they needed to make sure they were healthy. Sarah fell asleep after this, gaining some much needed rest.
Preston was baffled by the sight in front of him.
"A GIRL?!"
They had a baby girl. This pleased her mother, who was struggling to hide her excitement. Preston on the other hand was furious that Priscilla had not had a boy. Preston did not want to have another child, for he was too impatient to wait for another nine months. "How will we continue the family name?! The Northwest family name can not disappear! You were supposed to have a boy, not that, thing!" Preston fumed. "Pacifica" Priscilla murmured. "What did you say?" Preston said, giving his wife a cold stare. "Her name is Pacifica." Priscilla stated a little louder, so her impatient husband could hear. Seeing her husband was fine with the name, Priscilla whispered to Pacifica "You are going to grow up to be a wonderful member of the family, no matter what Preston says. You, Pacifica Northwest, are my little girl, and no matter what I may say in the future, I will still always love you" Priscilla handed the little girl to the nurse and looked up. She then saw Preston had a strange look on his face, like he was contemplating something that few would ever do. "I will return later, Priscilla dear." And with that, he walked out of the room. "Where is he going?" Priscilla thought. She was now alone in her room, and with nothing else to do, she dozed off.
It was late at night, and most of the nurses were either in break, or had went home. Somewhere in the nursery, three babies sleep in separate cribs that are all in a straight line. The nursery is empty of any adults, until a stranger walks in. He tries to tiptoe, but does not need to, due to the lack of nurses. The man walks up to the three children. One of them is his own. Preston Northwest sneers at his daughter and looks at the other two children. He can see that they are twins. One is another girl with big green eyes and thick brown hair christening her head. Preston then turns his head at the last baby. This one is a boy, with the same brown hair, hazel eyes, and a weird birthmark. Preston read the label on his crib and finds the boy was born an hour before his own child. He smiled. All he could think about was continuing the family name and his business empire.
Deep in his mind a voice told him this was a mistake, and would break the family the boy came from.
Preston ignored this voice like he always does.
He took the boy.
He then looked at his own daughter. Preston never cared for the girl, but knew his wife did. He knew his wife would never forgive him if he left Pacifica there. Usually, he never cared what his wife felt or thought, but was thinking differently today.
And with that, he grabbed his own daughter and made his way out of the hospital, to the limo.
He placed the children inside the vehicle, and told the driver to wait. Preston then went back into the hospital to bring his wife. Priscilla was so groggy, she did not question their abrupt departure from the hospital. Then again, she never questioned her husband, in fear that he would hit her again.
The driver drove out of the parking area for the hospital and drove to the airport.
The Northwests never drove anywhere for more than 30 minutes. If a trip was longer than that, they would take their private jet. Priscilla climbed into the plane's cabin and fell asleep instantly. Preston took the two children to another section of the plane, set them down on a small crib, and went to go sleep with his wife.
It had been a long day for them.
Three hours earlier
Robert awoke in his chair and checked the time.
He completely panicked when he saw he had been asleep for hours.
Robert opened the door to is wife's room, and she smiled at him. "You just missed it." Sarah said. When she saw his face fall, she said "don't worry darling, you will get to meet them in the morning, but for now, come lay down next to me. I am still in a little pain, and would love your comfort." She then smiled at him with a warmth no other human Robert knew could give. He laid down next to Sarah, who soon fell asleep. Robert found he was still tired, even after his little nap, and proceeded to doze off. His last thought was "I can't believe I am a father."
The pines were awoken when a nurse barged into their room the next day, looking utterly terrified.
"The boy" she gasped "The boy is gone"
The entire hospital was then awoken by a scream of sadness and despair.
