I woke up to beeping all around me, nurses ran in.
"Ma'am your baby's heart rate is dropping we're gonna have to do an emergency C-section.", one of them said.
I looked at Charlie terrified, "It will be okay, I will be by your side the whole time.", I nodded and told the nurse okay, they got me ready and Charlie then took us to the operating room. Once they put the sheet up and I couldn't see my stomach anymore I got scared and grabbed Charlie's hand.
"Let me sing you a song.", he said.
"Okay.", I managed to choke out.
He started singing Say you won't let go, by James Arthur, when it got to the part that says.
"I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most."
They told us the baby was almost out, I smiled and he continued singing.
"I'm gonna love you 'til
My lungs give out
I promise 'till death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go"
Then, I heard the baby cry, my baby, our baby. I started crying a little and I was so happy.
"It's a boy!", the nurse said.
I turned to Charlie, "See I told you.", he laughed a little and I smiled since it hurt to laugh. After they stitched me back up we got to go back to our room and see our baby.
On the way there I said, "Charlie we don't have a name."
"It's okay, we'll figure it out when we see him.", I smiled at him and he smiled back. They brought us into the room and helped me onto my bed then they handed me to him. "Charlie he's beautiful", I said, beginning to cry.
I saw Charlie start to tear up too, "He really is.", he said while touching his head. "Hey little guy I love you so much," he said.
"What's his name?", one of the nurses asked. I looked at Charlie.
"What about Leo Bennet Gillespie?", I said.
"That's perfect.", Charlie said as he kissed my forehead. "I brought him something.", he said, reaching into the back pack I didn't even know he brought.
He pulled out a grey bunny, "Is that yours?", I asked.
"No he didn't have the blue and white ears it's one I got him to be his very own."
"Awww.", I said as Charlie handed it to me. I put it up beside Leo and he grabbed onto it. "He loves it.", I said as I looked down at him. Charlie smiled.
"Can I hold him?", he said.
I handed him Leo very carefully, "Of course." He held him smiling the whole time when Leo grabbed onto his finger his smile got twenty times bigger and he looked at me. I smiled at him. "He has your lips, and nose.", I said.
"And your beautiful eyes."
I tried to sit up to kiss Charlie but it didn't work very well so he bent down to kiss me. "I love you and Leo.", I said smiling looking up at them.
"I love you and Leo too.", he said. "We should tell everyone they can come and see him if you are ready."
"Yeah I am, you can invite them."
"Wait I need a picture first.", he said as he carefully put Leo in my arms. I looked at Leo and he was the most precious thing ever. "Now I'll go get them.", he said putting his phone in his pocket and going into the waiting room where they all were.

A few seconds later they all came in, "Awww it's so cute.", Madi said.
"It's a boy and his name is Leo Bennet."
"Can I hold him please?", Madi said.
"Yeah of course.", I said carefully, handing him to her.
"Hi, I'm Madi , you're the coolest aunt.", she said to him, making us all laugh a little.
"Charlie I have to say that's a cute baby." Owen said as he patted Charlie's shoulder.
"I wanna hold him now.", Jadah said. Madi looked at me for approval and I nodded. She then handed him to her. "This is the cutest baby I've ever seen.", she said as she smiled. A few minutes later she handed him to Savannah then Jeremy.
"I guess I can see why Carolynn wants some of these." Jeremy said, then talked in a baby voice to Leo. I smiled at them. I'm glad that they were all supportive.
"Now grandpa Kenny wants to hold him.", Kenny said as he held out his hands. Jermey handed him to Kenny. He talked to Leo about how we were gonna be the best parents and he was going to have such a good life. I smiled at this and so did Charlie.
"Owen, do you want to hold him?"Kenny asked him since he was the only one who hadn't.
"Um I don't really know how.", Owen said with his hands in his pockets.
"Hold your arms out.", Charlie said. Owen did and Charlie then put them into the position to hold Leo. "There.", Charlie said, as Kenny put Leo in them.
"I could get used to this.", Owen said smiling. I could tell it was his first time holding a baby. Then the nurse came in and told me it was time to feed him. I was a little nervous to be honest. Owen handed Leo to Charlie who put him in my arms. Then Charlie shooed everyone out which I thought was pointless since I was gonna have to do this on set and stuff. The nurse showed me what to do and I did as she said. After a few tries he latched on. I smiled up at Charlie who smiled back. Once he was done he fell asleep on me. The nurse left and the cat came back in. They all stayed and we just talked until it was getting late and they had to leave I mean it was 4 in the morning.
"I think I'm gonna go to sleep too."Charlie said, getting comfortable in a chair.
"Can you come lay with me?", I asked him with puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah of course.", he said I scooted over and he came beside me wrapping his arms around me very carefully. I fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
