Protection, Zack Merrick, All Time Low

A month later :)
Needed to skip time, I'm sorry.

Lisa

Pain.

That's all I feel as I'm hunching over in the kitchen.

Pain, pain, pain, pain. "A-Alex?" I do my best to scream, but it comes out choked and painful. He hears me, running quickly in with a worried look on his face.

"Baby, what's wrong?" He asks, worried and at my side, trying to help me stand up straight.

"I think I'm having contractions." I whimper.

He stands there, in complete shock.

"Alexander William Gaskarth. Right. Now." He wraps his arm around me, and helps me into the car, and then he runs back in quickly, grabbing a baby blanket, diaper bag, throw up cloth, pacifier, and once again making sure that the car seat is put in perfectly.

I rub my stomach, and smile. "Thank God you're coming out soon, I can't wait to see your pretty face." Alex is in the front seat, and I call ahead to the maternity part of the hospital, telling them I'm on my way and in labor, and I hesitate calling Kim, so I just decide to text her and the same goes for a group message for my patents and Alexs.

I turn off my phone and I try and relax my body. Alex has his hands gripped firmly on the wheel, and he's constantly looking over at me and asking if I'm okay. I chuckle, and answer him yes, I'm fine, chill babe, and he grabs my hands and holds it kver the console, stroking the back of my hand with his thumb.

Kimberly

"Zack!" I coo, excitedly, jumping up and down.  "Guess who just texted me."

"Um, Hoppus?"

"No, that'd be cool though, Zack, Lisa is having her baby." I grin, he had just gotten done working out, and he was sweating, and it looked very nice on him as he was wearing a tight shirt and shorts that showed off his butt.

"No, really? I thought she wasn't due till about a week from now?"

"Nope, today!" I grin. "Go shower and I'll-"

He cuts me off with a kiss, and I reach up and put my hands on his shoukders as his are resting on my waist, his thumbs running sweet circles on my abdomen, I say that, because I'm puny, and have you seen this mans hands?

He pulls back and I frown.

"We can kiss more after this baby is born." Zack says, but then pecks my lips, making me blush.

I smack his booty as he turns his back to walk away, and he laughs, shaking his hips as he walks on purpose.

He gets out of the shower, and I call Alex to see if they need anything, and he responds for me and Zack to bring a blanket for us, because it's freezing in there. I chuckle, grabbing a floral fleece blanket and one of Zacks hoodies, I spray on perfume, and I make sure Zack is content too, before we head out.

We get to the hospital, and Lisa is sweating, Alex is fretting, Mum is here while dads at work, and Lisas dad is here too.

"How dialated?" I ask.

"Two inches." Alex says, and Lisa groans.

"I don't like this." She mumbles.

"It's okay baby, it'll be worth it." Lisas dad says, and kisses his daughters cheek.

Alex is pacing, and Zack, Mum and I, are awkwardly sitting on the couch they have in there.

I'm really glad I had a book in my purse, and the second book in my car. Zack is tweeting his fans for a while, and then designs a new shirt, and then cuddles into me, falling asleep.

Eleven. Hours.

That's how long Lisa is in labor, even though she got an epidural at hour seven, she was still in pain, but when the water broke, Alex was freaking out, Mum calming him down.

Zack and I left the room when he was born, because you can only have so many people in the room. But from what I had heard, Alex had stayed by Lisas shoulder, holding her hand while she pushed, because he thought it would be better for their sex life not to see that.

Lis was glowing while she held Lucas, and Ajax was crying at the little baby swaddled in a blue blanket.

I took a picture of them together and sent it to Alex, who tweeted it, he was so happy.

"Holy fuck, I am a dad."
