My Idol's Baby Sister

Massachusetts

Tommy

After a while the days on tour seemed to run together, Katie and I didn't fight as much this time around which I was thankful for. Before I knew it I was home for Christmas and New Years but as soon as I got home I was leaving again. And now it's April and Katie is due at any time now, I'm freaking the fuck out because I'm in Massachusetts.

Katie's due date is April 30th but the doctor even said with her carrying twins it's unlikely that she'll make the due date. That's the part that really worries me because she could have the babies any day now and I'm scared I won't be able to make it back to see my twins' birth.

We're still referring as the babies as the twins because we don't know the genders. Both of the twins were too stubborn with the ultrasounds and were never in the right position for the doctor to tell their genders. I'm really hoping for boys but I don't think I'd ever be able to tell them apart with worries me, I mean I'm going to have that problem either way. I'm worried about having twins.

"Are you alright, T-Bone?" Nikki wonders and I look up.

"Uh, uhm, yeah." I mumble out and force a smile.

"No you're not." He tells me and sits beside me. "I've been watching you sit back her for an hour with your head in her hands."

It's true, I didn't realize that I've been doing this for an hour. I'm just stressing out about Katie, Melody, and the babies. I should be at home with them, I should be taking care of them because that's my job as a dad and a father.

"What's bouncing around that head of yours?" Nikki wonders.

"Katie." I admit. "And my kids."

"I got that part." He laughs. "Your family is always on your mind, what's bothering you?"

I hate the way Nikki can read me some times, it just makes me have to talk about what's going on.

"Katie hasn't called yet today." I admit. "I'm worried about her because Melody was early and there's two babies and what if I'm not there when--"

"Tommy, you're worrying too much." He tells me.

"My five foot three wife is nine months pregnant with twins and she could pop any day now. She's chasing around a five year old. I'm here and not in Los Angeles with them." I remind him. "I have reason to be worried."

"Tommy, Katie has Eddie and Alex with her at all times. Your wife, your babies, and Melody are perfectly fine." He promises me.

"Okay, yeah." I breathe in and Nikki nudges me.

"See? There's no reason to worry." He promises.

"Hey guys!" Vince yells from behind us.

We look back at him to see jogging up to us with a phone in his hands. He reaches us and holds the phone out to meet. Vince has to pant a couple of times before he's able to talk.

"Tommy, you might want to take this." He smiles and I awkwardly take the phone.

"Oh okay, thanks Vin." I thank him and take the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Tommy, I got a quick question for you." Eddie states.

"Katie's blanket with the Raiders logo on it is the one she's talking about." I answer and Nikki laughs.

"No, I knew that." Her brother laughs. "My question is how quickly can you get back to Los Angeles?"

"Why? What's wrong?" I wonder.

"Katie's in the very early stages of labour and we just got to the hospital." Eddie explains.

"I-I-I'm on the next flight out." I promise him and Nikki looks at me.

"What's wrong?" He wonders as I hang up the phone.

"Katie is in the early stages on labour and I'm leaving you bastards to be with my wife." I explain with a laugh.

Katie

"Katie, please stop crying." Eddie pleads and kisses my knuckles. "You're scaring Melody."

"I can't." I cry. "I'm in pain and my husband isn't here!"

"He'll be here, I promise." He squeezes my hand a little bit. "It's not that long of a flight from Boston to LA." Eddie reminds me and I groan.

I haven't been able to see my feet since January. I'm tired of having twins fighting inside of me. I just want pregnancy to be over with! I love my children but I can't do this much longer, this pregnancy has almost killed me because the twins quickly ran out of room. The doctor said that she was almost positive I was going to have organ damage after birthing these two children.

"Hey, good news." Alex pokes his head in. "Tommy just landed and he's on his way to the hospital." My oldest brother says and I smile as the doctor walks in.

Tommy

"You have impeccable timing." The doctor tells me as she shows me to my wife. "We're just about to move Katie to the birthing room."

"I'm just happy I didn't miss anything." I admit as we reach the room.

Katie looks beat and in pain, she's crying and holding her stomach but that all changes as soon as she looks up and sees me. They minute Katie and I lock eyes I feel my eyes water up and my wife smiles.

"Babe, you made it." She huffs as she tries to catch her breath again.

"There's no where else I'd rather be." I admit.

On this April 18th, 1990 my twins were born at 3:38pm and 3:57pm. First was born Sebastian Jan David Lee, my boy, he weighed seven pounds and twelve ounces. He's  perfectly heathy. Second was born Song Kathleen Athena, she weighted just a bit more than her twin brother at seven pounds and thirteen ounces.

The thing was after Sebastian was born Katie's blood pressure dropped quickly. The doctor looked up at me and told me that my wife and my other baby were at risk. I went into shock, I don't know how I ended up in the waiting room but I did. I felt my heart breaking.

Katie couldn't die, there's so much we haven't done. I want to grow old with her and talk about how amazing our lives have been. I want to watch our kids, all three of them, go off to school and get married and have their own kids. I need Katie. Melody needs Katie. Our son needs Katie. Our unborn baby needs Katie.

I don't think I actually breathed again until the doctor told me that both Katie and our newborn daughter we perfectly fine.

Melody, Sebastian, and Song...if we have more kids we're going to have to think of more music inspired names.
