"Sir, for the fifth time, you need to stay here while the doctor takes care of your husband or I'll call in for security."
Boyfriend actually, but sure.
My shirt is freaking wet because of my sweat. I drove immediately to the hospital from my office after Carl informed that Sam's water broke. I was utterly shocked and scared at the same time but I was happy.
Thank God, I told Carl to watch over Sam while I was at work. What would've happened if I didn't? So, I'm glad I did and so glad he called. Speaking of calls..
I probably forgot my phone at the office.
Anyway, now Sam is with some doctor and several nurses in some room in some block. No, really. I have no idea how pregnancy works, I have seen movies that involves pregnancy but I'm a dude so why would I care? It's not like a man could get pregnant or so I thought.
Sammie is pregnant with my child, I'm purely terrified, I love Sam and I want to marry him.
If my future husband and my future baby can't make it, I couldn't live with myself. I'd much rather die.
Great, I made myself depressed.
Right now, Carl is calling the others to get here and comfort a sad man. I'm the sad man, by the way.
Earl and Jasper arrived first. Jasper stomped towards me angrily as Earl tells him to calm the fuck down. "If I don't see my best friend and his baby in another day, I'll find you and cut your dick off." Earl gasps in horror after what his lover said to me.
"Same." I said and he nods his head, impressed at my answer. It's true though.
Jasper then turns to look at his boyfriend and asked if he could get a Mountain Dew.
Not sooner but later came the others. "Sorry I'm late, babe." Jermaine apologized to his husband then me. "Cerro wanted to talk." He said.
"The American mafia boss?" Carl asks and Jermaine nods his head.
The others came to me and wished me, Sam and the baby good luck and hoped they're going to be okay.
I hope they are.
_____
5 hours.
5 hours, I tell you.
All of us have been here for five hours. "Are all pregnancies take this long?" I asked Jermaine and he shrug his shoulders. "I wanna see him so badly." I said.
Dean and Kane said that they're going to buy us some coffee. "Anyone else wants some coffee?" They took their orders and went off to the hospital's food court.
It became awkwardly silent by the moment they left.
"So, um.. anything happened today?" Leon asked awkwardly.
'My best friend is going to give birth today.'
'Some kid wanted to join my gang.'
'I almost lost 50% of my hair because of my brother and that stupid shaver.'
'Kane and Dean went to buy us coffee.'
'I'm looking at the door Sam went through with the nurses.'
'I'm hungry.'
"What about you, Zack?" He asked.
"I'm just waiting." I said and he nods his head.
Minutes later, the duo came back with a huge bag full of Starbucks coffee. Everyone takes their coffee and chugged it down quickly like they were forced to drink a tank of Milo. What? Milo's good.
I didn't drink it. I'm too sad for that.
"Zackaroo Edwards?" Fuck, Zackaroo?!
The team looked at me in confusion and I grinned sheepishly.
I must've accidentally wrote it down because Sam always calls me that. I'm gonna cry. Oh, Sam!
I stood up and walked towards the doctor who had a weird amused look on his face. It's probably the name. Oops.
"Come with me." He said and so I followed him towards the room where Sam is in.
"Is he okay?" I asked worriedly. "You just have to see that for yourself."
OH, COME ON.
He stops in front of a door and tells me to go in. I gave him the what-why-right-now? look.
Fuck, what's he playing at?
But right now, I didn't care what he was going to do because the only thing that was distracting me was the sound of a baby's cries.
I walked inside and saw nurses surrounding Sam's bed. A nurse saw me and hands me a surgical mask and I immediately wore it over my mouth.
The nurse tells me to come closer to the bed and congratulated me. The other nurses congratulated me as well.
"Here." The same nurse from earlier said as she hands me the baby. "Congratulations, sir."
Woah, he has Sam's eyes. "He's pretty." I squeaked and she giggles.
"Your husband wants to see you." She said and I sighed. Where is he?
She tells me that she'll hold the baby. I walked towards Sam's bed and saw him staring at the wall. "Sam?" I called out, he slowly looks at me and smiled. "I thought you wouldn't come." He said sadly.
"Why wouldn't I? I couldn't miss this. It's a special day." I said as I ran my hand through his hair. They were still oddly soft.
"It's just that.. you were at work. I just thought you wouldn't come, you know. It's hard to explain."
I'll always be here for you, baby.
"Carl called me at work, saying that you need to get into labour so, here I am." I said and he smiled.
"I'm sorry I doubt you." He apologised and I nodded my head.
"It's cool but you know what's even more cooler? Being a freaking father!"
Sam claps his hands excitedly while I pinched his cheeks hard because why not, right? He's adorable.
"Zackaroo Edwards?" A voice called out behind us. Sam gave me the what-the-frack look at me and I just gave him an awkward grin. I turned around and saw the doctor who treated Sam. I should've told him my correct real name earlier!
I stood up and walked to the doctor. He tells me what's up and I nodded my head then thanked him. He leaves the room.
I turned my focus back to Sam and smiled while scratching at the imaginary itchy spot on my neck.
"About the name.. it's a long story."
