4 Months Later
Adam's POV
I woke up to an empty space next to me and the smell of bacon and eggs. I rolled out of bed and walked into the suite's kitchen. Jennifer was standing at the stove cooking breakfast. I wrapped my arms around her from behind.
"Good morning gorgeous," I whispered in her ear before I started to kiss her neck. "Good morning Adam," She said before she turned around and kissed me. "I love waking up to you every morning," I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist. "Well you were supposed to wake up to your wife this morning," She said.
"You trying to get rid of me?" I asked. "No, it's just. I don't know Adam. You were supposed to be home with her again today. I'm sure she misses you. You've only talked to her 5 times in the past 4 months," She said.
"Why do you care?" I asked. "I love you a lot Adam. But she's still your wife and she's going to be giving birth to your son soon. You need to be there when he's born Adam." She said. "But what about us?" I asked her. "Adam are you seriously considering staying with me and leaving her?" She asked.
Truth is, I was.
Lena's POV
I woke up with cramps in my side. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and called Jesse.
"Hey Lena, what's up?" Jesse asked. "I'm having pain in my side and it hurts to get up. Do you think you could come over to watch the girls?" I asked. "Isn't Adam home?" He asked. "No, he told me his flight was delayed and he would be home in a few hours," I said. "Oh, yeah I'll come over. I'm gonna bring James and Ali with if that's ok," He said. "That's fine, bye," I said. "Bye," He said before I hung up.
10 minutes later, James and Ali walked into my room. "Hey guys," I said. "Hey, Jesse is feeding the girls," Ali said. "Thank god," I said. "Are you alright?" James asked. Before I could respond I felt a sharp pain and heard a pop.
"James?" I said. "Yeah?" He asked. "I'm in labor. My water just broke," I said. "What!" Ali shouted. "We need to get you to the hospital! Jesse!" James shouted. Jesse came running upstairs with the girls following behind him. "Yeah?" He asked. "Lena's in labor. We need to take her to the hospital!" James exclaimed.
"I'll stay with the girls. You two go with Lena," Ali said. "Mommy what's wrong?" Kennedy asked. "You're baby brother is on his way," I said before James and Jesse helped me up and Jesse carried me to the car.
Jesse sat in the back with me while James drove. "Jesse call Adam!" I screamed before my next contraction. Jesse pulled out his phone and tried calling Adam 3 times. "Maybe he's on the plane," Jesse said. But I could tell their was a hint of doubt in his tone.
Once we got into the hospital, I sat in a wheel chair and they got me into a room. Jesse held my hand as my contractions got closer and closer together.
The doctor came in and told me it was time to push. "I can't! Adam isn't here!" I shouted. James tried calling and texting Adam over 20 times. "Lena he won't answer. You have to push," James said.
Tears started streaming down my face. How could he do this? How could he miss the birth of our own son? "Lena I need you to push," The doctor said. Jesse and James held my hands as I pushed and pushed.
As soon as I heard my son's cry, I saw nurses crowding around him, and then everything went black.
Adam's POV
I stayed with Jennifer for a few more hours in Florida before we got on the plane and headed back to LA. Once we got off the plane I saw how many missed calls and texts I had from James and Jesse. Once message caught my attention.
Lena just gave birth to your son
"Jen I have to go," I said. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Lena just had our son. I have to go. I love you," I said before I kissed her and ran to the car. I sped away and headed to the hospital.
I ran inside and saw Jesse and James. I ran over to them and they looked up at me with red puffy eyes. They had tear-stained faces.
No.
"What happened?!" I shouted. Jesse and James grabbed my wrists and dragged me into the parking lot. "What the hell is going on!" I shouted.
"We know Adam. You were fucking your co-star," James said. "What!" I shouted. "Adam we aren't stupid! How could you do this! Ypu just got her back and you're going to lose her AND your kids this time!" Jesse shouted at me. "Does she know?" I asked. "No, but she's been having really bad anxiety over it Adam." Jesse said.
"While you were off with your mistress, your WIFE was giving BIRTH to YOUR SON!" James screamed at me. "I know!" I shouted back. "You don't get it! While you were off fucking some actress, your son was born and he's sick! And your wife is in surgery!" Jesse screamed. "What," I said.
"He wasn't breathing when Lena gave birth to him. He was purple, not to mention small and 2 months early. And Lena started bleeding out. They rushed her into emergency surgery and they are trying to save their damn LIVES!" Jesse scremaed.
"How long have they been in there?" I asked as tears started falling down my face. "About 2 hours," James said. "Guys, I'm sorry..." I said before James cut me off. "You don't have to apologize to us. If they die, it's on you," James said before him and Jesse left me in the parking lot.
How could I have done this? While I was cheating on Lena, she was giving birth to our son and now they were both close to losing their lives. I was MIA. I kicked my car in anger, which left a dent. I slamed my fists on the car and the tears fell down my face.
I sat on the ground and leaned my head against the car. What have I done? I spent the last 5 motths lying to my wife and cheating on her. I just missed the birth of my first son/ fourth child. I needed to get out of here, I needed to escape the pain. I needed to talk to someone who wouldn't judge me. I got in my car and headed somewhere I hadn't been in over a year.
Sarah's grave.
Once I reached the cemetary, I got out of the car. I walked to Sarah's grave that was surrounded by flowers, bears, and drawings the girls had made for her.
I collapsed onto my knees in front of her grave and let the tears fall. I had to vent. I had to tell someone. The one person who wouldn't judge me.
"Sarah, I'm so sorry. Why did you have to leave us? I miss you more than anything. I only got to know you for 2 years and I felt like I had known you for your entire life. Why did God take you from me? I miss you so much Sarah. I've been doing awful things since you've been gone. I know you are looking down on me and I'm sure you are ashamed to have me as your father. I'm an awful person. Your mom has forgiven me so many times and has taken me back after so much. I cheated on her Sarah, with her favorite actress. For the past 5 months. While she was pregnant with your newborn brother. She just gave birth to your brother and I missed it because I was with Jennifer. Now they are both in surgery and on the verge of death. Please Sarah watch over them. Please. I can't loose them. Losing your mom would break me more than losing you did. If that's even possible. Please Sarah keep them alive. I love your mom and your brother too much to lose them. I promise I will leave Jennifer and go back to your mom. Please. Whatever it takes. I just want them to stay alive. Sarah I'm so sorry that I screwed up. If you were here, none of this would've happened."
"I love you so much Sarah and I miss you so much. You were the best daughter a man could ever ask for. I miss you more and more every day, but I know you are in a better place. I love you Sarah." I said before I kissed her grave and walked back to the car.
