"Y/n do you need anything before I go?" Freya asked me as she packed up her things.

"No I'll be fine, I'll call if I need you. Thanks love." I kissed her cheek and she smiled, leaving me to myself.

She had been staying with me for a few days while Simon was out of the country with Tobi. It's not that I can't take care of myself, it was more of a precaution. Simon was worried that I could go into labor while I was alone.

My due date is fast approaching and I couldn't be more excited to see my baby. Simon and I decided not to learn the gender of the baby until birth, though I know Simon is hoping it's a boy so that he can spoil him and teach him how to play football.

I sat on the couch with a blanket across me and a bowl of popcorn and milk duds in my lap. I found myself frequently checking my phone for the time and any messages from Simon. He was due home any time now and I was excited to see him.

"Honey, I'm home!" I heard him call as he opened the door.

"I'm in here babe!" I called back.

He came rushing in and sat beside me gently, careful not to land on me.

"I missed you so much." He said leaning forward to kiss me softly. He placed a hand on either side of my large stomach and kissed it. "I missed you too." He said to my stomach. I giggled at this and he looked up to me.

"You're not allowed to leave me for that long again. I miss you too much." I said running my hands through his hair.

"I know. The time away killed me as well." He held my hand and twisted my wedding ring around my finger.

"I suppose you're jet lagged as well then?" He didn't go far from home but I know that traveling always wears him out.

"I could use a good nap. Join me?" I nodded and he helped me up and we walked to our bedroom.

I got myself into bed and made myself comfortable with Simon behind me.

Hours into the night I was awakened to the pain in my stomach. I sat up and realized that I was sitting in a damp area on the bed.

"Simon, Simon." I shook him awake.

"What's wrong love?"

"It's time. The baby's coming." He quickly got out of bed and pulled on his jeans and a shirt.

"I'll grab the bag, you start making your way to the car." I nodded and slipped on a pair of flip flops and a sweater.

Simon drove us to the hospital where they put me in a wheel chair and took me into a delivery room.

"Have you told the boys?" I asked Simon as he entered the room looking quite worried.

"I texted Josh and he and Vik are on the way. The others will be here later. How are you doing?" He sat in the chair next to my bed and held my hand.

"I'm doing okay. The doctor thinks it'll be about a five hour wait." He sighed and I squeezed his hand.

"Don't worry love." He looked up at me with a small smile on his face.

"I'm about to be a father." He whispered.

"You're going to be a great father Simon. I know you will."

There was a knock on the door and I looked up to see Josh and Vik coming in.

"We brought you some ice cream. Chocolate chip cookie dough." Vik handed me the pint and a spoon.

"Thank you. I was craving this actually." I ate my ice cream and listened as the boys talked about anything and everything.

"Well Y/n. It looks like you're dilated now, are you ready?" The doctor asked me.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I looked at Simon to see him biting his nails.

"Time of birth, 7:36am April 13th." I could hear the doctor talking but I was too focused on the beautiful baby in his hands.

They cleaned everything up and a nurse came in holding my baby in a blue blanket.

"Congratulations. It's a boy." She handed me the baby and I felt tears springing to my eyes.

"He's beautiful." Simon muttered. I looked over to see he had tears in his eyes.

"Have you thought of a name?" The nurse asked.

"Jackson Matthew." I looked at Simon and a wide smile broke out on his face.

"That's a great name." The nurse smiled and left the room.

"Do you want to hold him?" I asked Simon.

"Yes." I carefully handed him our son and I looked over to see the door opening and the guys coming in.

"It's a boy!" Tobi cheered and they all stepped in to see Jackson.

"Congratulations you two." Josh said to us.

"Simon you're crying!" Ethan exclaimed.

"I'm just so happy." I leaned over and wiped his tears away.

"Who wants to hold him?" All of their hands raised simultaneously causing me to laugh.

"Everyone will get their turn." Simon said passing him to Tobi who was sat right next to him.

"We're parents." I whispered to Simon and he leaned forward to kiss me.

"I know." He said.

"I love you so much."

"You weren't saying that little bit ago when you were damning me to hell." I laughed and held his hand.

"That was the pain talking. You know I love you."

"And I love you."

"Here, hold him. We want to take some pictures." Freya handed me Jackson and I held him in my arms.

"There's no feeling like holding your first born baby." I said cooing the child.

"Hey love, it's your daddy. I love you so, so much." Simon said gently rubbing his thumb against his cheek.

They all took pictures and we all admired our beautiful child. The love in the room was evident from the way we all talked to the way we couldn't keep our eyes off the little boy.

Simon held my hand the entire time and kept telling me how much he loved me.

"I've said it a million times today but god I love you." Simon said leaning in to kiss my forehead.

"I love you too. More than you will ever know."
