🎶Within a minute
I was all packed up
I've got a ticket to another world
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go🎶

"I'm going to miss you while I'm gone." Tony Perry said to his girlfriend of nearly a year, Miranda, as he loaded the last little bit of his luggage into the under carriage of the bus.

"How long is it going to be this time?" She asked.

"A little over four months, including the overseas leg."

Tony is in a very popular band known as Pierce the Veil, and today he is leaving for the Back To The Future Hearts Tour with his good buddies in Sleeping With Sirens & All Time Low.

He wrapped his arms around Miranda and she rests her head on his chest.

"Tony, there's something I've been meaning to tell you." She said.

He looks down and asks, "What?"

"When you get back, it might not just be me waiting for you." She smiles at him.

"What are you trying to tell me?"

"That you're going to be a daddy!"

He kisses her forehead.

"How far are you?"

"Four months, I just found out and it's going to be a girl."

Tony puts a hand and his head to her stomach.

"Hey, princess. It's Daddy, I wish I didn't have to go so I can see you grow inside your Mommy's tummy. But I promise you that when I'm home, you and your Mommy will have all of my time!"

He gave Miranda one last kiss and got on the bus.

(Four and a half months later)

🎶There are pieces of us both
Under every city light
And they're shining as we fade into the night🎶

Miranda and her sister, Sabella, had been sitting in the nursery, having gotten the last little bit of it done.

She was now 8 1/2 Months pregnant and her doctor said she could go at anytime.

As soon as Sabella helped her up, she felt warm liquid trickle down her leg.

"I think my water just broke." Miranda tells her sister.

"I'll call Tony and let him know." Sabella said as she helped Miranda down the stairs.

She dials his number as she grabs the hospital bag and the car seat.

"Hey, Tony. It's time..... I'll tell her.... Ok, see you then. Bye."

She hangs up as she helps Miranda into the car.

"Tony said him and the guys are on the next flight out of Paris and that he'll be here as soon as he can."

Another severe contraction hit Miranda as they rounded the corner.

"Wow, these things are getting stronger and closer together." She said.

Sabella replied as she pulled into the hospitals' parking lot, "We're almost.... There."

"I can't move!" Miranda says.

"Why?"

"Because I feel like I have to push!"

Sabella ran in and notified the staff.

Seconds later a gurney was brought out and Miranda was quickly taken to a room.

A few minutes after she was changed, a doctor came in and checked her, but noticed the baby was already crowning.

"Ok, Miranda. I need you to give me one nice big push!"

She held her sister's hand and beared down.

After that push, the doctor suctioned the nose and mouth, then told Miranda to push again.

Seconds later, a little baby's cry filled the room.

"It's a girl!" The doctor told the new mom and then handed the baby to a nurse to get cleaned.

"I'll be right back." Sabella told her exhausted sister, as she walked to the hallway.

Sabella dialed Tony's number.

Our flight will land in an hour and half. Tell her to hold on!

"You missed it Tony. Miranda did excellent. She's resting now, but you'll have two lovely ladies to kiss when you get here."

Sabella could tell Tony was crying that he missed the birth of his first child, but comforted him.

"There was nothing you could've done Tony. Some first time babies can come quick. But your daughter is perfect!  All 7 lbs. 10 Oz. 18 1/2 in. of her!!"

Did Miranda tell you what we plan on calling her?

"No. What?"

Whenever Tony and Miranda would Skype or talk on the phone, they would go back & forth on girls names. They couldn't agree on one. But then, Tony suggested something & Miranda fell in love with it.

AnnaBeth Hope. AnnaBeth after your girls' mom.

Sabella and Miranda's mom passed away two years ago from kidney failure. They promised each other that whoever had a daughter first, her name would be AnnaBeth.

"Please get here as fast as you can!" She said and then hung up.

Sabella walked back into the room.

"There you are!" Miranda called out to her sister holding her new daughter.

"Tony told me her name."

"Sabella, I would like you to meet your niece: AnnaBeth Hope Perry."

Miranda held out her daughter and Sabella gently took her.

"Anna, I will tell you all of the stories of your Abuella. (Spanish for Grandmother)"

(Two Hours Later)

Tony and the band walked towards the elevator after stoping at the gift shop.

Jaime had gotten two pink balloons that said: It's a Girl! on them, Vic had picked out a pink pacifier that had the Texas Longhorns logo on it, Mike had gotten a bouquet of Roses, and Tony had found a pink teddy that had: "Daddy's Little Heartbreaker" stitched on its stomach.

Once they found the room, Tony knocked on the door and heard a faint 'Come In'.

Tony immediately was awestruck at his sleeping newborn daughter.

He gently picked her up from the hospital's basinette, and gently sat beside Miranda on the bed.

"I can't believe how beautiful she is." Tony whispered.

"I think she looks more like her Daddy."

"Except I think she has your ears."

AnnaBeth began to squirm.

"Let me try something." Vic said.

Tony handed his daughter to her "Uncle" Vic, and Vic started to softly hum 'Bulletproof Love'.

Within a minute, AnnaBeth was fast asleep again, little baby snores escaping her mouth.

Everything turned out perfect. A little different than what Tony wanted, but perfect.
