What Now? (Book 2) [l. hemmings]

Chapter 29

Victoria's P.O.V.

"Are you guys seriously already having problems?" I ask walking into the room.

"Maybe..." Calum replies.

"Seriously you guys? It's really not that difficult." I tell them.

"Why don't you do it then?" Michael says.

"I'm trying to help Jess." I reply.

"With what?" Calum questions.

Maybe I shouldn't tell him she's in some pain. He'll just get worried, Jess hasn't really said what's going on.

"Nothing.." I say.

Jess walks into the room, and sits down, as Luke, Ashton and Michael actually start to put together the crib.

"Jess is everything okay?" Calum asks.

She looks to me as if I said something, then back to Calum.

"Yea, I'm fine." She says.

"Alright." He replies, placing a kiss on her forehead and rubbing her baby belly.

He goes to help the guys and I walk over to her.

She bites her lip in pain, trying not to do anything to show she is actually in pain.

"Jess we need to get you to the hospital." I whisper.

"I'm fine." She replies.

"You shouldn't be in this much pain, I'm pretty sure your daughter is coming early." I quietly speak.

"Vic, it's probably just going to pass." She says. "Hopefully..."

"You're in denial." I tell her.

"I'm okay, okay?" She quietly says.

She stands up walking into the hall.

"Shit!" She groans.

"Baby what's wrong?" Calum asks her, rushing out of the room.

"I need to get to the hospital." She says, squeezing her eyes shut in pain.

Finally, she'll go to the hospital.

"She's coming. It's time." Jess tells him.

"W-what?" Calum stutters, immediately paling.

"You heard me. I think this baby is coming, like now." Jess replies.

"It shouldn't be coming for another two weeks!" He panics. "Oh my god."

"It? Did you just call our baby 'it'?" Jess questions, looking over at Calum, seeming like the pain has passed, and now she's just annoyed with Calum. 

"I'm sorry! I'm a little panicked right now!" He replies, rushing around to find her hospital bag. 

"Mum! Its time!" Jess shouts.

Calum grabs her bag as her mother comes upstairs.

"What's going on?" Ashton asks.

"The baby decided she wants to come early." I reply.

"Oh my god." Michael says.

I step out into the hallway to join Jess.

"Jess you ready?" I ask.

"Not really but she definitely is." She says.

Calum comes over and helps her down the stairs.

"Okay is everybody ready to go?" Her mother asks.
