Twenty Three

I screamed as the contractions got worse then I gripped the sheets, yelling in pain.

"Where-where is he?!" I cried, the doctors rushing around me.

"I'm here, angel!" J said as he finally ran in, a bandage around his arm.

"I'm right here, we're here together!" He breathed, holding my hand as he brushed my hair back.

"Miss Jones, Gianni is ready to come out! When I say, push!" The doctor said and I nodded, taking deep breaths as I tried to focus.

"I'm here, baby." Jorel said and I looked at him then smiled as he leaned down and kissed me.

"Don't leave me." I breathed, but he shook his head.

"Never."

"Push!" I cried out, my cries turning into screams as I pushed with all I had.

"You're lucky the bullet grazed your arm, Jorel!" I growled at him as I held Gianni in my arms. Thankfully, I was at the seven month marker so she wasn't too early and after being checked thoroughly, she was okay.

"Knock, knock?" I looked at the door then smiled as the guys came in, though they remained quiet as they filed in.

"She's so tiny!" Danny said as he looked at Gianni.

"Two months early, but she's okay. They're going to be in here every hour to check and make sure she's okay." I said and looked down at her.

"So the stress induced labor?" I looked at Dylan and nodded.

"When Candy shot J, the stress was too much and I went into early labor. We're just lucky Jorel called the police on the way to the house." I said and Johnny huffed.

"Man, had you said Candy was holding her at gunpoint-"

"The interview had to be finished, and I can protect my own fiancée and daughter on my own." He said, but I frowned.

"J, we were supposed to plan for the wedding next week." I said and he went to speak, but Johnny spoke up.

"Why not hold it now? You said before you just needed us and a priest, I'm an ordained minister. We could do it right here, right now." He said, but I shook my head.

"Why are you-"

"I was bored one weekend." He said and I softly laughed as the guys just rolled their eyes at him.

"Well?" J whispered and I looked at him then shook my head.

"I-I just went through labor-"

"What's the phrase? Love you at your worst, love you at your best?" He said and I laughed as I took a deep breath, looking at Johnny.

"A-alright!" I laughed and he grinned, clearing his throat as he began the impromptu ceremony. The doctor came in about halfway through the whole thing, but he worked around us.

"I pronounce you husband, and wife! Kiss your damn girl, boy!" Johnny said and I grinned as Jorel kissed me softly, the guys whooping and cheering until the doctor shushed them so Gianni could sleep.

"Whoops!" Matt whispered, making us laugh as Gianni was passed back to me.

"Here you are, Mrs. Decker." The doctor said and I grinned down at my daughter.

"What about wedding bands?" Charlie asked and I shook my head.

"I don't need a ring of metal to prove Jorel loves me. It'd be nice to rub in the faces of haters and obsessed fans, but I don't need it." I said and looked at them.

"As long as he loves me and I love him, that's enough for me." I said and Jorel smiled as he hugged my shoulders, the guys leaving so we could rest.
