Testing Love || Be My Outlaw Sequel

^^ Christine ^^
(She's 13 btw)

(A/N: I think I'm gonna start writing from no one's POV because it's just easier. If I change it and write in someone's POV though it'll say it in the beginning.)

While Jinxx and Jake stared at their band mate and the young girl, who was now cowering behind him, Ashley missed every word. Essentially, it went in one ear and out the other.

"Whatever, we don't have time for that. It's Andy, he's in labor. She's three months early." All four sets of eyes were on Ashley now, each holding shock and worry,

"Is she gonna be okay?" Jake asked softly.

"They don't know, they said babies can survive being born this early, but it's not very likely. They said it doesn't look good." Thought it wasn't biologically his child, he was still worried sick. He cared for her like she was. It made no difference to him who put the baby inside of his boyfriend, all he cared about was whether or not she had two parents who would love her no matter what. And with Matt out of the picture, he would have to step in and help raise her.

"Things will be just fine, Ash. I'm sure she's just as strong as him." He gave his band mates a grateful, sad smile.

"I should get back to Andy, he'll be delivering soon." With that, he went back down the hall to the maternity ward.

"Dad," Christine whispered, tugging CC's hand. He looked down at her. "Can I hold Isabella?"

"Let's go see." Hand in hand, they walked a few feet away to where the couple stood, talking quietly as they tried to get their baby back to sleep. "Guy, Christine would like to know if she can hold Isabella." Jake looked down at the baby in his arms, then at his fiancé.

"Uh, yea. Just go sit in that hair over there." She smiled and skipped over there. As he child was being placed in her arms, the father started to instruct her how to hold the newborn the right way. He didn't get to finish though, because she chimed in.

"I know how, I hold my baby brother all the time." The two turned their heads, now looking to Christine's father.

"No! Her mother, not me. She's my only one."

As the three friends stood around waiting to hear something, anything, they grew more and more anxious. CC was pacing around the waiting area, Jinxx was sitting down and bouncing his leg as he tried to get his daughter back to sleep, and Jake was next to him, rubbing his back.

Six hours had passed now, and they hadn't heard a single thing. The two guitar players decided they should go see their son while they waited for the news. The drummer's daughter had fallen asleep in his lap, and though he wanted to do nothing more than lay his head on her's and nap too, he couldn't. His mind refused to let him rest. Doubt and worry filled his head no matter how much he tried to be positive. Just as the two fathers came back, Ashley appeared.
