This Love

Labor

Adam just stood there in silence. All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and I let out a scream. It felt like I was getting stabbed in the stomach. When I was in labor with Emily, it felt nothing like this. 

I watched Vince rush to my side. "Babe, what's wrong?" He asked as he held onto me. "I'm in...." I was cut off by another contraction. Vince got me in the car and he told Emma to watch Anna and Logan. Jesse and the rest of the band followed Vince's car to the hospital.

Once we got in, Vince set me in a wheelchair and wheeled me over to the reception desk. "Hi, my girlfriend is in labor and she needs a room now." He said. "Room 222," The receptionist said as Adam and the other guys approached us. Vince wheeled me to my room and helped me onto the bed. 

After an hour of grueling contractions, the nurse gave me an epidural. Vince stood next to me and held my hand. My doctor came in and told me that I was 10 centimeters and I was ready to start pushing. "Alright, I need everyone to leave except for the father," She said. Jesse, Mickey, Matt and James all got up and went to the waiting room. Adam stood on one side and Vince stood on my other.

"Are both of you a father?" She asked Adam and Vince. "Adam is the faher of the baby, but Vince is my boyfriend," I said. "Alright, both of you can stay," She said. 

After 30 minutes of pushing, I finally gave birth to my baby boy. As soon as he came out, they wrapped him up and placed him in my arms. "Hey litte guy," I said. He started to whimper, so I rocked him back and forth. "I'm going to go get the kids. Will you be alright?" Vince asked me. "Yeah, we'll be right here when you get back," I said. "Ok, I love you," He said before he kissed my head. "I love you too," I said as he walked out the door.

"He's beautiful," Adam said. I looked up at him and saw tears starting to form around his eyes. "Do you want to hold him?" I asked Adam. "Sure," Adam said. I handed him our baby boy and watched him rock him back and forth. All my memories from the day Emily was born came back into my brain. He held Emily in his arms for hours and wouldn't put her down. I felt tears flowing fast down my cheeks. 

"Syd, what's wrong?" Adam asked. "I was just thinking about when Emily was born," I said. "I'm sorry," Adam said. "I don't want to talk about it," I said. "So what are you going to name him?" Adam asked. 

"Bentley Adam Levine," I said as I stood up and took Bentley from Adam. "Your giving him my name?" Adam asked as I set Bentley in a crib that they brought for him. "I've been thinking a lot over the past  months and I realized that you're his father and he deserves you in his life." I said. 

Next thing I know, I'm up against the wall and I'm making out with Adam.
