Fourteen

August 21, 2014

"I'm so exhausted," I mumble curling up on Cameron's bed next to him. We just got back from a concert.

We had a blast but now I'm so tired... Even though Cameron should be more tired from holding me on his shoulders, he insisted.

"Me too," He laughs wrapping his arms around me as he nuzzles his face into my neck.

"GUYS!!!" I hear Carter scream from his room as he runs into Cam's. I raise a brow at him. "Ariana's in labor!"

"Finally!" I squeal jumping up from the bed and pulling my moccasins on quickly before grabbing my phone and purse and dragging Cameron behind me.

Nash and Carter right behind us as we rush to the car. "Is she on her way to the hospital?!" I ask Carter getting into the drivers seat.

My baby nephew or niece is going to finally be here.

Ariana didn't want to find out the sex of the baby until it was born so we're just all waiting to see what it comes out to be.

"Yeah Gina is taking her," Carter responds as I pull out of the driveway and driving towards the freeway.

I was speeding, only because I wanted Carter to be there when the baby is born. Because I'd want Cameron to be there in the delivery room when we have our first kid.

If we even get that far again.

"So tell Ariana well be there, I promise." I say as Cameron places his hand on my thigh, just like every time were in the care together.

"Will do, I'm so scared guys."

"Scared for what? You're gonna be a great dad I promise, you don't even need to worry if you have a question you can just ask Callie, she has her little sister. I'm sure she raised her." Nash explains.

I keep my focus on the road, but the mention of my baby sister just kills me. She's living with a monster of a mom and I can't do anything about it. I can't even go and see her.

I just sigh and Cameron grips onto my thigh in a comforting way.

The rest of the car ride was quiet besides Carter on the phone with Ariana about half of the whole ride.

"Ariana," I breathe out as we all walk into her room. She was breathing heavy and cringing every two minutes.

"Get the doctor!" A nurse demands another nurse after checking how dilated she was. The doctor coming in and making all of us leave the room besides Carter and Gina.

Nash, Cameron and I all sitting in the waiting room. "Holy shit," Nash says as we hear Ariana scream. She screamed a good five times before it got really quite.

"I hope she's okay," Cameron mumbles into my shoulder as he plays with my fingers in my lap. I just smile.

"She will be once she sees the beautiful baby,"

I couldn't help but think about the baby I lost, due to stress. Thinking about how I would be holding that baby in my arms right now.

"Its a boy!" Carter says happily as he walks out of the delivery room, grinning from ear to ear. "You guys can see him once they move her and the baby to a actual room and get him checked out."

Carter had tears in his eyes as he clapped his hands together. "He's the cutest baby I've ever seen." He smiles.

"I'm sure he is, I'm gonna go talk to Ariana." I say standing up and walking over to the room she's in right now for the moment.

"How was is trooper?" I smile as I approach the bed. She looked extremely exhausted. "I heard its a little boy and that he's the cutest thing,"

She couldn't help but smile as she wiped away her tears. "I've never been in so much damn pain, they couldn't give me an epidural so I had to bare with it. But I would do it all again just because seeing my son for the first time... Priceless."

"I'm so happy for you Ariana." I smile squeezing her hand. "I'm gonna let you get cleaned up, I'll see you when you're in your new room."

She just smiles and nods, clearly exhausted. I smile and leave the room, the boys all waiting for me outside. "Why are you crying?" Cameron whispers as I wrap my arms around his waist and berry my face in his chest.

"I'll tell you later," I mumble as a few nurses go into Ariana's room. "Let's go sit down,"

Carter went back into the room while Nash Cam and I all sat down in our previous seats. "You can go to sleep," Cameron murmurs into my hair as he plants a small kiss on top of my head.

I sigh and lean into his side, his arm wrapping around me as I close my eyes.

"Baby, wake up. We can go see the baby now." Cameron says shaking me slightly. I yawn and open my eyes slowly. Cam pulling me to my feet and lacing our fingers together.

"Finally, how long was I asleep?" I ask full of energy now as Nash leads us to the room.

"About two hours," He laughs. I just shrug and enter the room. Ariana was peacefully asleep, Gina had went home and Carter was dozing off in the chair next to the bed while the baby was in the incubator next to the bed wide awake.

There was a card on the incubator that had his name on it.

Cayden Michael Reynolds.

He watched me as I read the card.

6 pounds 5 ounces, 21 inches long.

He was so tiny. I smiled at him as I slowly picked him up, bringing him close to my chest.

"He reminds me of a little burrito," Nash grins as I place a small kiss on his forehead, leaving red lipstick on him.

He faintly smiled at me as I kissed all of his face leaving red lipstick everywhere.

I smile and lay him back down as I pull my phone out to take a picture of him. Trying to get him to smile at me, he faintly smiled and I posted the picture on instagram. ( On Jafedits )

"I want you," I grin picking him up again and sitting down on Cameron's lap as I stare down at him. "You're the cutest little boy ever Cayden," I smile getting out a baby wipe and wiping the lipstick off of him after having warm it up in his hands.

"You're gonna be a good mom," Cameron smiles as I grab his bottle that Ariana must have pumped before falling asleep.

He immediately took to it and started to doze off. "I have the cutest nephew ever," Cameron grins kissing Caydens forehead.

I just nod in agreement as he finally falls asleep. "Visiting hours are over in five." A nurse informs us. I just nod and stand up placing him back in his little bed.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I murmur kissing his little hand before letting Nash and Cameron say goodbye to him.

"Let's go and make a baby," Cameron whispers in my ear, placing his arms around my waist.

I look up at him and laugh but he remains serious. "I'm too tired." I laugh. He laughed too after a few seconds.

"I am too, maybe tomorrow." He murmurs. I just roll my eyes and peck his lips before getting into the car and that's all I remember because I fell asleep.
