48. Lars Ulrich // Music and love

This is a fluff chapter of Lars taking care of you when you're pregonantan and you're a little cranky in the studio when you go to visit him so the band and especially Lars cheers you up
Lars Pov

I sighed in frustration at messing up a simple beat.

"FOCK!" I exclaim and drop a drumstick.

James laughed and so did Kirk as I picked it up and look at them while Jason sat down with a beer and his bass.

"Sorry- let's redo that and go over that again," I say.

"Lars, you're getting a phone call. It's from your wife," Peter, our manager says.

I put my drumsticks down and get up while walking back inside and taking the phone from Peter and holding it up to my ear.

"Yes, darling?"

"Lars, I've been alone all day, eating nothing but chocolate, fruits, and your pizza you made the other night and I'm bored and I miss you. Can I come see you?" Y/n's voice asked with some hope in that I would say 'yes'.

I sigh and nod, "Yeah, baby. I'm just recording with everyone right now so you can come. It's nothing big."

"Okay. I'll be over soon."

I smile, "Okay, bye."

"Bye," she says and smooches the phone while hanging up.

I gave it back to Peter as I went inside.

"Y/n coming?" James asked and stood with his guitar.

I nod, "Yeah, she's having a bad day."

Jason sat up and set his beer down, "Well, I hope she gets better."

Kirk nods, "She sweet. She gives me and Lani the best cookies."

I smile at the thought of it. I sat back down and began to talk with the band about the song again as we began to play it again.

•••

I was sweating from playing as I continued to talk about it with James, Kirk, and Jason.

"And I think if we just switch up the last section-"

"Lars. Your wife's here."

I look up and see her standing in the room talking to Phil. I got up and walked inside as she looked at me and smiled while I kissed her cheek.

"Hey, baby," I say.

I kiss my middle and index fingers while placing them softly on her round belly and so she smiled.

"Hey, Lars," she said back.

"Does Y/n want to come in here?" James asked.

I shake my head, "It'll be too loud for her to be in there right next to us with a baby."

James shook his head, "No, it's not going to be a loud one."

I hesitate and look at Y/n as she nods as so we walk in. When we walked in, I let Y/n sit on a couch we had which Jason was sat on which was next to me. James sat down on a stool and switched his big electric guitar for an acoustic and began to play a little slow melody. Y/n smiled and watched James play as Kirk followed along with a softer tone as it sounded very nice. Jason followed up on it to which Y/n blushed and looked at me. I slowly played a small beat while it just kinda happened. The way Y/n watched with her round belly being caressed by her soft hands as her hair was draped to the side and looked so nice on her. Her smile made me smile as she listened to us play and tapped her fingers a little on the belly. She gasped and felt her belly as she grabbed Jason's hand and put it on her belly.

"The baby's kicking!" She exclaims.

Jason smiled and nods, "Holy shit. That's pretty awesome."

James and Kirk set their guitars down while they headed over to Y/n and all out their hands in her belly. I set my sticks down and got up, going behind the couch and placing on hand on her belly as I felt the baby kicking. We all smiled and seemed to like this feeling as Y/n giggled. James stroked his thumb on her stomach before looking at us.

"Boy? Girl?" He asked.

"It's a little boy. Lars is happy about it and so am I. We've been thinking on names. Lars wants Mateo as a name but I wasn't too sure on a name I'd like," Y/n says with her soft tone and pitch.

Kirk smiled, "Kirk, that's such a great name."

We laugh as Jason nods, "Whatever you guys decide on, it'll be great."

•••

The band session was over and we had went home. Lars let me relax in bed while he brought me anything I needed and gave it to me with a little kiss. He cuddled me and made sure I felt okay and comfortable all the time which made me feel safe with him. Lars also had the urge to always hold my belly and speak at my belly as if our boy could hear us. He would say how happy he is to be a daddy and how he kept calling him Mateo made me smile.

"Lars?" I say.

Lars looks at me and nods, "Yeah?"

I sat up but Lars shook his head, "Baby, you can't be getting up."

I laugh, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. But...I think we should name him Mateo."

Lars's eyes went wide with joy as he smile grew, "Really?"

I nod, "Of course. You keep calling him Mateo and you seem to want that to be his name so yeah."

Lars kissed me and laid us both down, "I love you, gorgeous."

"I love you, too," I assure him.

Lars rubbed my belly and kissed it a few times and smiled while he looked at me with his puppy dog eyes.

"Larssss." I say with a giggle.

He shrugs, "What, beautiful?"

He lays all the way with me and cuddled me. I smile and look at him and admire him.

"Nothing...you're just...I don't know. Amazing."

Lars blushed and shook his head, "You are. You're amazing because you're always putting up with me and the bands bullshit all the time and I like that side of you. But also sometimes you do need to yell at us, like that time James scared you so bad you screamed but you just told him it was okay and how you just laughed it off. Like- Cmon, now."

I smile and roll my eyes before he kiss me, "so what you're saying is I should yell at you more? Got itttt."

Lars laughed and hugged me close before we both slowly began to fall asleep in each others arms.
