The Visions Left Inside Me Are Slowly Fading

**Brian’s POV**
It’s been 7 months since the accident, which was ironically Jimmy’s birthday and I haven’t left Ember’s side we’d taken her on tour with us when we’ve done short tours, she’d been by my side. I don’t even go out drinking anymore, I love Ember, I love our baby and no one is going to take him away from us. Her due date is in approximately next week and we’ve been so happy.

There’s been no drama, we were asked to be the god-parents of Charlotte and Owen. Jimmy would have been so proud, he was originally going to be the god-father of them. They were growing so fast, they were already crawling, it seemed unreal. Zacky and Tennessee have been getting along, and Lyric was allowed to spend time with Zacky including overnight stays. Especially when Tennessee stayed the night. Savannah was working as the general manager of a dance studio where she spent almost every moment of every day while Landon was always with Lyric. Those two were literally two peas in the pod, best friends since the day they were born.

I smiled as I realized how much those two were like their parents. Landon although he had the hyper enthusiastic personality that Jimmy had, he had the paternal nature of Savannah and the purest heart that you would ever see in a child. He got that golden heart from both of his parents.

I tipped the bottle of beer up as I sat there in the dark, with nothing but the low sounds of the television, I had rerun episodes of Grey’s Anatomy on. Wasn’t something I usually watched, but it was pretty much the only thing that was on at 4 in the morning. I had been up since two, I couldn’t get my head to stop creating scenarios that kept scaring the shit out of me. Ember was sound asleep up in our bed, the alarm system was set. Even though we hadn’t had an incident, I had an off feeling. You know those odd feelings that you get when bad things happen? Well that’s what I was feeling currently.

I took another swig but dropped the bottle and spit out the amber liquid as I heard a scream. I ran up to the bedroom to find Ember standing in a puddle. “What happened?!” I asked as I hurried over to her.

“My water just broke,” she told me as she lightly held her stomach. “The contractions just got worse.”

My eyes grew wide, I knew she’d been having minor contractions but she’d had those throughout the 3rd trimester. “We gotta get to the hospital,” I said and started packing her a bag and then grabbing the diaper bag that we’d packed last month.

I helped her change into a pair of shorts and tanktop (per her request) before helping her down the stairs and into the car. I looked over at her anxiously only to see her meet me with a pained smile. “Brian, you need to calm down babe, the baby is coming. I’m okay, he’s okay, we’re all going to be okay.”

I nodded and grabbed her hand giving it a squeeze. I used the handsfree Bluetooth feature of my truck and called Matt. “Brian it’s fucking 4:30 in the god damn morning…”

“Ember’s in labor,” I sped out interrupting him.

We heard some scuffling through the speakers, “What? She okay?”

“I’m okay Matty we just wanted you guys to be at the hospital when we have Damon. Can you call the others?” Ember responded flashing me a smile.

“Yeah! We’ll get the twins ready and we’ll be there in no time,” Matt responded. “Love you guys see you soon.”

“Bye,” Ember and I both said as we pulled into the hospital parking lot. We got out of the car and walked to the emergency entrance. As the clean hospital smell hit my nostrils we had nurses head towards us, “She’s in labor, we need a doctor!” I practically yelled at them, anxiety apparent in my voice.

“Grab me a wheel chair please,” the nurse called behind her as she grasped Ember’s arm as another contraction hit, causing her to almost double over.

“Fuck, Brian talk to him, your voice calms him,” Ember whimpered out pleadingly.

I dropped to my knees in front of her and rubbed her belly, “Hey buddy, it’s your papa. You gotta stay in there until they’re ready for you okay?”

As the contraction subsided they got her seated in the wheel chair. I stood up and followed them as far as I could, but they wanted to do the initial exam and get her changed without me in the room. I groaned as I paced the waiting room, my hands on the back of my head, my arms sticking out like arrows above my head.

The waiting room doors burst open and in stumbled all of our friends. “Hey where are the kids?” I asked as I hugged everyone.

“Tennessee and Savannah offered to watch the twins, Savannah was dropping off Landon with Tennessee when Matt called me,” Zack said clasping a hand on my shoulder.

“That’s very sweet of them,” I nodded.

“Where’s Em?” Matt asked me, looking through the window leading to the maternity ward.

“They’re doing her initial inspection right now and they’re gonna get her changed before they take me back,” I told him biting my lip nervously

“Do you want me to go back with you?” Simone offered placing a hand on my arm.

I nodded, “if you’re okay with it. May help having someone back there that understands what she’s going through. Plus I need a witness if she tries to kill me.”

Simone giggled, “She won’t try to kill you. She’d want to kill you if you weren’t here with her.”

Matt frowned slightly, “hey!”

“You had an actual excuse,” she giggled again. “But I didn’t know that at the time.”

“You should have heard her in the car when we were on the way to the hospital,” Johnny laughed. “She was cursing you everyway through Sunday.”

Matt groaned as the door opened, “Mr. Haner? You can come back now.”

“That’s my que, I’ll be back,” I wrapped an arm around Simone’s shoulders as we made our way back to her room.
