The tour has been over for a few weeks now, and for those few weeks, I have had an extremely pregnant Roxy and a three, almost four year old, that's as moody as her mom, living with me.

Granted it's not all bad, but holy hell this baby needs to come soon.

"B?" Roxy called through the apartment and I sighed before replying.

"Yeah sweetie?" I called back and went on a search for her. I saw her in my den last, but that doesn't mean she's still there. She's weirdly determined to do everything herself lately, and that sometimes includes cleaning the bathroom from top to bottom.

"I'm in here darlin'." She said and poked her head out of my music room. Bingo.

"What do you need honey?" I chuckled and headed over to her.

"Ok. Tooootally up to you if you want me to clean in here or not...but can I clean in here?" She giggled and I grinned at her.

"Nesting pretty hard there huh?" I chuckled and she groaned.

"Ugh. Yes. It's like I can't sit still these last couple of days." She told me and I laughed harder.

"Really sweetie? I would have never known." I smirked and motioned to the rest of my sparkly clean and perfectly straightened apartment.
"Sorry." She giggled.
"No you're not. We'll just have to hope that the peanut makes an appearance soon huh?" I asked and she nodded. "And you can clean in here if you want. Just put everything back where it was and don't even think about touching my guitars ok?" I half threatened and she giggled and I turned to go back to my piano.
"Thanks B!" She called and that was that for the rest of the afternoon.
Later that night the three of us sat down to watch some kiddie movie for Taylor, but Roxy is fidgeting like crazy.
“Woman, what’s wrong? You’re squirming more than this one does when she needs to pee.” I chuckled and shifted Taylor from my lap to the couch next to me.
“Sorry.” she frowned. “Peanut is moving like crazy and is literally kicking me in every single internal organ I have.” she grunted and pressed her hand to a rib. “Right on cue there Peanut.” she mumbled.
“If Peanut is kicking you in the ribs does that mean Peanut is close to making an appearance?” I asked her hopefully to maybe distract her from the pain.
“Let’s hope so B, otherwise I might need several organ transplants.” she giggled then grunted as there was another kick to her insides.
I chuckled and grabbed some more pillows for her and we managed to finish the movie and put Taylor to bed, what came next, I was not expecting at all though.
“Syn?” I heard her call shakily from the direction of the bathroom and I headed in there.
“Mmmm?” I hummed and found her standing in the middle of the tiles, totally scared look on her face and very close to tears. “Sweetie whats wrong? Is there a spider or something?”
“Oh, B I wish.” she giggled uneasily. “You know how we were hoping Peanut would make an appearance soon?” she told me and I nodded. She then grunted and held onto her belly.
Oh shit…
“Honey, did your water just break?” I asked her in as calm a tone as I could and she nodded and burst into tears.
“Peanut’s making an appearance!” she sniffled and I couldn’t help a slight laugh at her.
“Ok. It's alright. Come over here.” I cooed and held a hand out for her to waddle over to me. I then sat her down on the closed lid of the toilet and dug my cell phone out of my pocket. “I’m gonna call Val to come and stay with Taylor, I’ll call Jimmy and then we can go to the hospital ok?” I told her and she nodded.
“What about the others?” she whined.
“We can call them if you want sweetie, but how bout we do these two first and call the others at the hospital...and if we’re lucky, Shadows will beat me to it and they’ll all be there by the time we are anyway.” I babbled and she giggled, but nodded, then groaned when a contraction hit.
I quickly made my calls and then we were on our way. The nurses at the ER bustled us through to a room and eventually we headed up to the maternity wing where everyone was waiting for us.
Matt and Johnny look about as anxious as I feel. Zee looks really concerned for Roxy and Jimmy looks like he’s on another planet.
“Which one’s daddy?” one of the orderlies pushing Roxy asked and she attempted to respond, but was caught mid groan.
“This one.” I said, grabbed Jimmy by the arm and yanked him into reality.
“This way.” the orderly said and Roxy grabbed Jimmy’s hand to make sure he followed them.
“Shit. He’s actually about to become a father.” someone muttered and the rest of us chuckled.
“Yeah. I can’t believe it either.” I muttered as we watched them disappear down the hall.
