Age (Hayes Grier)

•Chapter 20•

It was February 17. It was 11:50 pm. In ten minutes, it was gonna be my mom's birthday. We were all outside in the back yard. We all had balloons that said, "Happy Birthday Mama Summers." We were all gonna let the balloons once I finished what I had to say.

"Mama Summers, you were the most amazing mom ever. You were there when nobody else was. We all wish you were here but life is life. You never be able to hold LJ or see me get married. But I know you will be there every step of the way. We miss you like crazy! We love you, Mom. Rest In Peace. Happy birthday, Mama Summers." Once I finished, we all let the balloons go and it was already 12. I smiled and looked up to the sky. My arms wrapped around Luke's waste. Everyone smiling. The next thing, I knew.

"My water broke."

"Okay. Luke take Edith to the car! Nash grab the baby bag! Cameron call the hospital! Everyone get in the cars, now!" Elizabeth says. Everyone rushes to get what they had to get. Luke picked me up bridal style and took me to the car quick but calmly so he wouldn't drop me.

"Ugh!!!" The contractions hurt like a bitch. I was in the car with Luke, Nash, Skylynn, and Elizabeth. I was sitting in the driver seat while Elizabeth was driving.

"Breathe in and out." Elizabeth says. I breathe in and out. In ten minutes, we got to the hospital. Once I got there, I was already in the room ready to give birth.

"Who do you want to be the room with you?" Dr.Jay asked.

"Elizabeth!" I yelled. The contractions were really hurting.

"Can I come?" Hayes asked.

"This is too much for you, Hayes." Elizabeth says.

"I wanna be there for Edith."

"Okay fine. Just come!" Dr.Jay says. I looked at Hayes. He smiles at me. I grab Elizabeth and Hayes hand. Everyone was outside hearing.

"Alright Edith. I need you to push on the count of three." Dr.Jay says. "1,2,3!" I push hard.

"Okay your doing good. Three more pushes!" By now, I was squeezing Hayes and Elizabeth hand really hard. "1,2,3! Push!!!" I push even harder.

"He's almost here, Edith! Two more come on!"

"1,2,3!!!" I push harder. "Last push! Push even harder!"

"1,2,3!!!" I push way even more hard.

"I HATE YOU, NASH!!!!!" I yelled. Once I finished, Luke Jake Summers was here in this world. His cry's fill the room. I started crying. Hayes had him in his arms. Hayes passed me to him.

"He's beautiful." I whisper. Hayes takes a picture.

"What's his name?" A nurse asked.

"Luke Jake Summers." She writes it down.

"Can I take him so I can clean him?" I nod. The nurse takes LJ from me. She washes him. She gives him back to me.

"Do you want him to be in the nursery room or here with you?"

"With me." He truly looked beautiful. Hayes passed me my phone and I took a picture of LJ. I already had clothes on him. I just wanted to take him home already.

"Luke Jake Summers. 2/18/16. 1:12am. A new beautiful human in the world!👶" I tweeted with a picture. Everyone tweeted about it.

"I'm an uncle!" Nate tweeted.

"This boy gonna have all the ladies." Sammy tweeted.

"He's truly beautiful!" Sierra tweeted.

"Edith literally killed me by squeezing my hand hard but it was all worth it. We got a new beautiful baby boy in this world." Hayes tweeted. Everyone tweeted a lot things. I just favorited them.

"Ms.Summers, do you wanna let all these guest in?"

"Yes please!" Sierra was the first one in. All of sudden, you see all the boys trying to go in the door at the same time. I laugh. Cause they all fell.

"Can I carry him?" Nash asked. I nod. I pass him LJ.

"Wow." He said while he hold him. He passed it to everyone and Luke was the last one. Luke sat next to me on bed.

"You did good." I kiss his cheek. We all started to talk about things.

"Wasn't it funny when Edith screamed, "I hate you, Nash." Sammy said while we all laugh.

"It hurt like a bitch. I wish you were in this position instead of me."

"No thank you." Sammy said.

"Edith, you need to rest. Only one person can stay in the room. Who will would it be?"

"Luke, can you stay with me?" He nods.

"Alright, I need everyone out. She needs a lot of rest. Edith, I'll take LJ to the nursery room so you can sleep."

"Thank you, Nurse Nancy." She smiles. With that everyone left. Luke sat on the couch.

"Come lay on the bed with me. I don't want your back to hurt in the morning when you wake up." He smiles and lays down. I cuddle next to him.

"Happy birthday, Mom." I whisper while I fall asleep.
