We Are A Family

Chapter 07

"What do you mean he wants to come to L.A.?" I questioned my mom over the phone.
I glanced to Kayla who had been crying after realizing how serious this really was, Mark had to keep reassuring her that nothing was going to happen to either him or CC.
{"Yes, your little brother misses you; and I think it would be good if he came up there and stayed with you for a while."} She said, I could feel my eye twitch.
His sisters were pregnant, their husbands were being targeted and Jace wanted to come here?
I ran a hand through my hair, there was no way I could tell my mom the danger we were in; but what happens if Jace comes over and something fucking happens!?
{"Do you not want to see him?"} I heard her ask.
I frowned over the phone. "Yes mom, I want to see him; so does Kayla.. we just have a lot going on right now.. wait, why the heck are you letting him come to L.A.? When I was twelve I didn't get to go places like that." I murmured.
{"Haley, this is different, you're up there. Do you want him to see you or not?"} She practically hissed, I rolled my eyes. I was married and pregnant and she still had attitudes towards me, face palming; I sighed.
"When do you want me to come get him?" I asked.
{"Where is CC?"} She asked.
I frowned. "He's on tour, he won't be home for a month." I told her.
{"Well, if you want to wait until your husband gets home to get Jace; I'm sure he can wait a month."} She told me.
Yeah.. but can these guys who are threatening to kill the guys wait that long?
Shaking my head. "No, I'll just go ahead and come get him." I said.
{"Are you sure?"} She asked me.
I nodded into the phone, after the conversation about grandchildren and Jace; my mom finally hung up.

I turned to Kayla and the others. "I have to go get Jace." I said.
Kayla's eyes grew wide. "Are you serious? Haley! Mark and CC are being hunted down; why the hell is he co-" She stopped talking as her eyes grew wide.
We all looked at her in concern, she slowly removed herself from the chair to only find her pants soaked; she looked at us.
"My water just fucking broke." She said.

We all rushed to the hospital the moment her water broke, Mark was speeding and Kayla was wincing at the pain, when we arrived; Mark scooped her into his arms then raced inside.
The nurses knew right away what was going on and Kayla was soon enough escorted through double doors, Mark went back there with her.
I soon enough raced into the room after the doctor called for me, leaving Jayy and Shay in the waiting room.
Kayla was screaming in pain as she held both mine and Mark's hands and squeezing hard, she was in labor that lasted for what seemed like seven hours; it was time for her to deliver and when she was told to push. I swear to god I thought she was fixing to break my wrist, she was drenched in sweat and crying; she kept yelling it hurt over and over. Until the sound of a baby crying echoed through out the room.
Kayla was breathing heavily as the nurse smiled softly.
"Congratulations, its a boy." She told Kayla before handing the baby over to her, Kayla had fresh tears in her eyes looking at him.
"He's so beautiful.." She murmured.
She looked to Mark with a soft smile. "Alexander." Was all she said.
Mark smiled softly with a nod, the moment was too precious; after the clean up and Kayla was more comfortable. We had a room full of people, all looking at Alexander who was holding his mothers finger and was fast asleep.

Kayla had to stay in the hospital for two days, after spending hours with her and Alexander; me, Shay and Jayy ended up leaving around two in the morning.
When we got home, I felt exhausted; Kayla was a mother. Jace was coming over in a few days, our husbands lives were in danger; and all I wanted to do was sleep.
I crawled into my bed, laying on my back; I looked up at the ceiling. I was going to be having that exact moment Kayla had today, I slowly closed my eyes with a yawn.

The next day came fast and I was on the road heading to Texas with Shay, Jayy wanted to come but he had concerts and other things to do; it was going to be a eighteen hour drive there and back.
I was glad I had Shay tagging along, the last thing I wanted to do was go alone.
It felt like the hours kept piling up from all the stopping we did, if it wasn't for food it was for a bathroom break.
After sixteen hours of driving, we were finally in Houston, TX.
I couldn't help but smile about this, this is where everything began; this is where me and Kayla met Jayy and the others, where I met CC; went to a party. Fell in love then got married, those days never left my mind.
When we made it to Lufkin, all I could do was smile; we drove through the town then made it to my house. I grinned seeing the dogs all barking, when I stepped out; the front door swung open and I had Jacqui hugging me in a strong hold, she looked at me with a teary smile.
"Look at you, all married and pregnant and stuff." She said with a laugh.
I smiled softly then frowned softly seeing Donnie, I looked to Jacqui. "Is Jace ready?" I asked her.
She nodded with her arms crossed. "He's been ready since yesterday." She told me.
I frowned. "We would of been here yesterday, but Kayla's water broke and then bam. Baby Alexander was born." I explained.
Jacqui's eyes were wide.
I walked past her with Shay tailing behind as we walked into the house, I smiled seeing my mom walk out of the bathroom but froze when she saw me. Tears formed in her eyes as she walked up to me, she wrapped her arms around me in a gentle hug.
I felt tears in my eyes now, I've missed her hugs.
I turned to my dad who gave me a weak smile. "You look so grown up, despite carrying a brat in your stomach." He said as I laughed softly.
"Thanks punk, love you too." I said grinning.

I looked to Jace who walked into the room with two suitcases in his hands, his eyes were on my stomach as I smiled softly.
"Do you have everything?" I asked him.
Jace looked at me with a nod, he looked to our parents; walking over to the two. He was brought into a hug, my mom smiled softly.
"You do what your sister tells you, I don't want to receive a call from her telling me you're getting into trouble." She said ruffling his ear length hair.
He swatted her hand away from grinned with a nod. "I will, I mean won't." He said.
I rolled my eyes, giving my parents one last hug; we headed to the car and then left.
On the road again, we go.
