*31 weeks pregnant
Today I'm going to my doctors appointment with Jordan. I can't believe he has joint custody of the baby.
Jonah: good luck, I wish I could be there.
Me: I can't wait till you come home next week.
Jordan walks in my apartment. "Ready?" He asks.
I nod and we walk to his car. The car ride to the clinic was silent.
We check in and sit in the waiting room. "So what are we going to name her?" Jordan asks.
"I don't know," I say. "She's going to have my last name."
"We'll see." "I'm the father."
"Well maybe I want her to have my last name." "Are you afraid I'm going to leave again?"
"Um yeah, you left me three other times," I say getting angry. "Well I'm not. I'm going to be here for this baby whether you like it or not," he says.
I roll my eyes. "Lexis Bowen?"
I look up and the nurse is standing there. I get up and Jordan follows behind me.
"Things are looking good. Got any questions?" I shake my head and we leave.

*week later
I'm waiting at the airport for Jonah. I see him and walk to him.
"Lexis baby," he says hugging me. I feel someone else join the hug.
I see Zach and smile. "Group hug," Zach says.
Corbyn, Jack, and Daniel join the hug. "I love you guys," I say.
"Aaawww," they say in sync. I laugh.
Jonah and I go back to our apartment and I tell him about Jordan. "I guess it's good he's going to be in her life, but I'm afraid he'll just walk out on us," I say.
"We just have to take what is thrown at us," Jonah says. I start crying.
Jonah hugs me and I cry on his shoulder. "I wish you were her dad."
"I know, but I'm be like her second dad." "I know. I'm so scared."
"About Jordan?" "Yes and having her."
"We'll get through this plus labor won't last forever, she'll be here before you know it," Jonah says. I nod.

*36 weeks pregnant
I'm eating lunch with Jonah when I feel something. "Oww," I say.
"Contraction?" Jonah asks. I nod.
I feel something wet. "Oh no."
"What?" "I think my water broke."
"Should we go to the hospital?" I nod.
Jonah gets up and gets my hospital bag. This might be happening.
