Dear Winter

Chapter 7

Jack P.O.V

About halfway through dinner Rileigh stood up tapping her spoon in the side of her glass to get everyone's attention I stood up next to her

"Well guys we don't just invite people over for no reason so I bet you're wondering why you're here" she giggled "we're expecting!" She just couldn't wipe that beautiful smile off of her face "a little boy due in June!"

"Oh honey that's wonderful" her mom stood up hugging her

*April*

"Rileigh?" I yelled into the seemingly empty apartment I crept up the small flight of stairs walking into our bedroom seeing my now very visibly pregnant fiancé laying in our bed hugging my pillow fast asleep I walked over setting my things down on the floor next to the bed taking my shoes off and climbing into bed next to her she automatically snuggled into my side still asleep, by the time she woke up I'd been scrolling through TikTok for almost an hour

"Morning baby" she said sleepily

"Hate to burst your bubble babe but it's 9pm" I chuckled

"9pm what the hell" she said shocked "how long was I asleep?"

"No idea you were asleep when I got home at 7:45" I said kissing her forehead she yawned "feel free to go back to sleep I don't mind"

"The baby wants Taco Bell" she said looking at me with puppy dog eyes

"The baby wants Taco Bell? More like mommy wants Taco Bell" I chuckled reaching on the nightstand for my keys sitting up to put shoes on she didn't move from where she was laying "well are you coming?"

She sat up putting on her shoes that were beside the bed before taking off down the hallway as fast as she could waddle trying to beat me to the garage...

*a few months later*

"Hey Jack" I could hear the smile on her face through the phone the boys and I are on tour which in reality could end any day now depending on when she goes into labor

"Hey beautiful" her breathing picked up "are you okay Ri?"

"Yeah I'm fine my stomach just hurts"

"Are you going into labor?" I asked both excited and worried because I'm 4 states away

"N-" she was cut off as she groaned in pain "m-maybe" she said trying to breathe through it

"I'm on the next flight out of Indianapolis" I said "I love you baby I'll be there soon I'll call your mom and tell her you need to go to the hospital" I hung up the call

"Adam! Ryan!" I yelled from the back of the tour bus

"What Jack?" They both piped up from the bunk area

"She's in labor" I said hastily

"No way are we gonna make it back in time?"

"I sure fucking hope so" I said calling Claire she picked up quickly "Claire, Rileigh is in labor I'm in Indiana trying to get the next flight back to New York can you get her to the hospital?"

"Absolutely I'm on my way to get her now" she hung up

"I called the airport the next flight to new York leaves in 3 hours"

"Mark!" I yelled not meaning to as I ran to the front of the tour bus to find our tour manager Mark

"Yes Jack?"

"Rileigh is in labor we have to cancel the show tonight" I said out of breath as I raced to grab my suitcase and atleast a change of clothes I felt my phone vibrate it was a notification from Twitter
