Andre's pov
Mom and Dad have gone back home to get the baby stuff since Eve went into labor while we were at the beach, and honestly, nobody was prepared, although we knew she was in her eighth month.
I felt a squeeze on my hand, and I looked to my right side where Audrey was seated.
She held my hand in hers while softly squeezing as if comforting me, and honestly, I was comforted, strangely not in her touch or this little gesture but by her presence.
I heard a scream which started the bones outta me. I guess Eve was giving birth.
I kind of feel bad that nobody did anything for her during her pregnancy.
There was no gender reveal, no baby shower. Nothing, we just acknowledged that she's pregnant, and this is the reason why I'll be the best uncle when that baby comes into the world.
I don't even know if it's a boy or girl, but i want a niece.

Mr and Mrs fletcher Ian's parents came a bit later after the baby was born, and none of us have seen the baby yet.Kayla had been on her phone since we got here, not caring about what's happening around her.
Annabella has been on video call with Nicki, jayla, and Susan.
Mom and Dad are at the admin of the hospital handling the bill.
While Audrey has been by my side for the past seven hours, we've been here.
She got coffee for everyone, and not a single person was heard from both my sisters even after she got food for everyone, making sure to remember what everyone had ordered.
"Hamptons?" We all stood up, and the doctor told us we could see mother and child.
Audrey's phone rang, so she excused herself while everyone went in, I had this pull to follow her, but I went in the large maternity room.
Mom was the first to hold her second born's newborn.
I went to my sister, who looked drained and tired.
Her black hair was messy, her eyes were dull and had eyebags, I mean, the girl had been in labor for almost seven hours.
I kissed her forehead, and she smiled at me.
"You did it, Evelyn," I whispered in her ear.
"It's a boy, and he's beautiful," Eve's barely audible voice said.
I wanted a girl but hey, it's a boy! And I love my nephew.
Ian appeared out of nowhere, disturbing our sister-brother moment.
Eve moved a bit to allow him space while I excused myself to go meet the baby.
Mrs fletcher who held the baby, gave him to me since I haven't held him yet.
He was so tiny, I feared I'd drop him, and I fell in love with the boy in my arms.
He eyes were closed, and his mouth moved a little.
I got reminded that I would also be a Dad soon, with Nicki being pregnant and all.
This prince in my arms would soon have a best friend to play with.
The door opened, revealing Audrey, who had a small teddy bear in hand.
She went to Eve and had a small conversation. She even smiled a little.
I went over to the bed and gave the baby.
An instant glow washed over her face as she cooed the baby and rocked her.
I loved what I saw, and Mom approached us with a big ass smile.
"Now, I know who's next in line to give me more grandkids." Mom put her hand on Audrey's cheek.
Eeeeek, if only mom knew that it wasn't my wife but my girlfriend who would give her a grandchild in a few months.
Audrey just nodded with a smile, and then the baby screamed. Eve took the baby to feed it.
Soon, a nurse came over to tell us that only the parents could stay so everyone and to leave.
On the way home, I could tell Audrey was disturbed, I figured it was because of the comments made about her on social media.

Mom ordered takeaway for everyone, and Mr and Mrs Fletcher stayed over for the night.Audrey and I slept in my childhood bedroom, and for the first time since she's ever stepped into this room, it wasn't as uncomfortable as before.
In fact, we both were used to sharing. Annabella did offer me her room, but I politely declined.
I'm so tired right now, and all I want to do is to sleep, but I couldn't....why, you may ask?
Well, Audrey has since gone to the bathroom when her phone rang again. It's been almost an hour.
I decided to go check on her.
I knocked on the door multiple times before she actually opened up and fell into my arms while crying.
I rubbed her back, and we both walked to my bed where we cuddled, and I continued to rub her back.
"What's wrong, Audrey?" I asked
"It's Adam," she cried out.
I wonder what he did, and I won't even ask her because she obviously feels hurt by what happened.
We cuddled the rest of the night, and soon we got engulfed by sleep while she cuddled with me.
