This Love

Meeting Maroon 5

Sydney's POV 

I walked over to Emma, who was sitting in the family room coloring with Logan. "Emma?" I said. "Yeah?" She asked as she kept her eyes on the picture she was coloring. "Maroon 5 is going to be here in 50 minutes," I said. She shot up from sitting on the ground and started screaming. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" She screamed.

"Will you help me look cute, Sydney?" She asked. "Oh, sure," I said. I grabbed her hand and we started up the stairs towards the master bathroom. "What are you two up to?" Vince asked as we met him at the top of the stairs. "Bonding," Emma said. "Really?" Vince asked. "Yep, we'll be back down in a little bit," I said before I kissed his cheek and walked to the bathroom with Emma.

I shut the door behind us and grabbed my makeup bag. "Wow, you have a lot of makeup," She said. "A collection from years of interviews and red carpet events, plus just having to look good," I said. "Wow, was it hard being around all of that? Like the paparazzi following you everywhere?" Emma asked. "It could be stressful, but I got used to it," I said as I pulled eyeliner and mascara out of my bag. "I wish we had more time so that I could take you shopping," I said. "Really?" She asked. "Well yeah, I mean your Vince's daughter. I'm not just going to ignore you," I said as I pulled eyeshadow put of the bag. "I like you Sydney, I think you're going to make a really good mom, and a good wife to my dad," She said. "Really?" I asked her. I was in shock. Usually kids hate when their parents start to date other people, but Emma wanted me to be with her dad.

"It would be nice to have you as a step mom. I'm not just saying that because you used to be married to my celebrity crush. I really like you. You're really nice, pretty, you treat us like your own kids, and you make my dad happy." She said. "Wow Emma, that means a lot to me that you said that. I like you too, and if I get the chance, it would be my pleasure to be your step mom." I said before I hugged her.

After about 15 minutes, I turned Emma around so that she could see her makeup. "Do you like it?" I asked her. "I love it!" She exclaimed. I looked in the mirror at both of us. Despite my big belly, Emma and I looked alike. We both had the same brown hair with hazel eyes and tan skin. Our facial structure was set up the same except for the way that she resembled her mom and Vince. "You're really good at this Sydney," She said. "Thanks! Takes practice, but you can pick it up quickly," I said.

I curled Emma's hair and walked to the closet with her. I picked out a pair of jean short shorts that didn't fit anymore along with a pink chiffon shirt from Hollister. I handed Emma a pair of pink flip flops along with the shorts and shirt, and she slipped them on. She looked at herself in the mirror. "Wow Sydney, you did an amazing job!" She said as she spun around. I grabbed her hand and we walked back downstairs.

Vince, Logan, and Anna stood there in awe. Vince wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek. "What did you do to my daughter?" He asked. "I gave her a makeover," I said. Suddenly I heard the doorbell ring. "Must be them," I said as I walked over to the door. "Ready?" I asked Vince, Emma, Anna, and Logan. They all nodded their heads. I opened the door.

"Syd!" Jesse exclaimed as he hugged me. "Hey Jesse," I said. "Hey Syd," Matt, Mickey, and James said. "Hi guys," I said as I hugged them. And lastly, there stood Adam. I felt Vince rush to my side and wrap his arm around me. "Adam, this is my boyfriend Vince. Vince this is my ex-husband Adam." I said. "Hi," Adam said as he stuck his hand out. "Hi," Vince said as he shook Adam's hand.

All the guys came into the house and sat in the family room. I walked in and stood next to Vince and the kids. "Guys, this is my boyfriend Vince and his 3 kids: Emma, Anna, and Logan. Kids, this is Jesse, Matt, Mickey, James, and Adam." I said. "Which one is the big fan?" Jesse asked. "That would be Emma," Vince said. They guys got up and hugged Emma. "Nice to meet you," They said. I could see Emma trying to control her inner fangirl and it made me smile to see her so excited.

The whole band took pictures with Emma and then each individual guy took a picture with her. When it was Adam's turn, he wrapped his arm around Emma's waist and I looked at his face. He had a forced smile on his face and he looked hurt. After he took the picture with Emma, she asked them to sign a couple posters and her phone case.

While the guys were signing Emma's posters and Vince was talking to Jesse, Adam walked over to me.

"Hi Syd," He said. "Hi," I said looking st the ground, which I could barely see over my swollen torso. "Can I talk to you outside?" He asked. I saw Vince looking over at me with concern. "Sure," I said. I watched Vince start to walk over to me, but I shooed him away. I led Adam into the backyard and shut the door behind us.

"What do you want?" I asked him as I folded my arms across my chest. "I'm not here to fight Syd. I just want to get all my feelings out." Adam said. "Go ahead," I said.

"Syd, I love you so much. You are the love of my life. We've made 3 kids together. I miss you so much. I know I screwed up because I lied to you. I shouldn't have lied to you much less ran that red light. I know I killed our daughters and if I hadn't ran that red light, we would have our 2 beautiful daughters. Sure we wouldn't have this little boy on the way, but we would have 2 gorgeous daughters. I messed up Syd. I miss you a lot. I want to raise this little boy with you. I want our family back. I want us back." He said.

Just as I was about to respond, I heard a popping noise. "Syd?" Adam said. I looked down at my dress and the ground.

"My water just broke," I said.
