~Chapter 36~
-HUNTERS P.O.V-
"I'm pregnant." Skylar says and it feels as if the whole world stops spinning and all I can hear is Skylars soft crying and I just hoped that they were happy tears. "You're what?" I whisper into the phone as tears form in my eyes as well and I sit on my bed. "I'm pregnant." She whispers and I smile and put my hand on my chest and I feel my heart racing and I lay back against the wall. That one simple line made my whole life better. I had been stuck on the idea of having another child with Skylar and now it was happening. "You're sure of this?" I say smiling as a tear falls out of my eyes and rolls down my cheek. I hear her laugh through her tears and I knew then that she was happy. "Theres three little plus signs sitting in the sink in front of me telling me that I'm positive." She says and I smile and exhale my breath as my heart flutters as I think of having another child with her. "This is amazing." She says crying still and I can only imagine the smile on her face. "I know, but are we ready for this? With me on tour and you at home with Nata-" "Hayes, I dont know what's going to happen, and I dont know if we are ready for this. What I do know is that even if we aren't ready, this baby is coming, and I have Hayley until you get back. It will all be just fine Hayes." She says and my heart races still and I think of Skylar sitting in a hospital bed holding the next little Hayes in her arms. I bet her eyes would light up the way they did when she first saw Natalie. "Itll be perfect." I say smiling as my mind still races with the possibilities of what was going to happen in our lives with Natalie growing up and the new baby on its way.
-SKYLARS P.O.V-
I admit now that everything would be 'just fine'. I had Hayley here at the house with me to help me through things in these first few months until Hunter came home in December. I dont know if Hunter and I are ready for this, and I dont know how this is going to turn out but I know that no matter what happened Hunter would stand beside me through it. I knew now the feeling in my stomach, that what seemed like fear at first, was really happiness. I was afraid in a way, but only in the way all pregnant mothers would be. I put my hand to my stomach smiling as I thought of Hunter holding him/her in his arms. His eyes would light up the same way they did when he first held Natty. From the first breath she took she had stolen mine and Hunters hearts, and thats how it would be with the new baby as well. Hayley had been right, everything would be just fine. "Yes it will be perfect." I whisper smiling and I hear him crying happy tears and I could only imagine his face at the moment. "We are having another baby." I hear him say and I nod crying happy tears still as well. "You must be two weeks along, its been two weeks since our anniversary." He adds and I smile. "That means January we get to find out the gender." "Then pick out names for him/her." "Then set up the nursery." "Natalie should be out of her crib by then, we can use that." I say and Hunter laughs. "Yeah, we are definitely in parent mode." He says and I laugh lightly wiping my tears away. "Yes we are." I whisper and he laughs. "I cant wait to be home to you, our beautiful baby girl, and our new little angle on the way." "I cant wait for you to be home with us three either." "I love the sound of that." "Me too Hayes." I say smiling. "I have to get some sleep tomorrow, I have a ton of interviews. How about I Skype you three tomorrow night?" Hunter says and I smile. "We'll be waiting, love you Hayes." "Always and forever." Hunter says before hanging up and I smile. I throw the tests away before washing my hands and I walk out of the bathroom and I go downstairs to Hayleys room and I knock quietly and I hear her say bye to someone, most likely Sam. A second later she opens the door, "hey Sky, what are you doing up still?" She says and I smile. "Come here." I say taking her hand and she follows me out to the kitchen and I make myself a small bowl of ice cream and she sits on the counter. "What did you need to tell me?" She says and I put the ice cream away. "Im pregnant." I say and Hayley groans. "You brought me out here to sa-wait-you're pregnant!" She says hopping off the counter hugging me and I nod hugging back. "Yes ma'am, I'm a soon to be mother of two and I couldnt be happier." I say and she begins to cry. "I'm so happy for you and Hunter." Hayley says smiling wiping her face and I smile. "Thanks Hals, you're going to have to deal with me till he gets back." "Fine by me, how'd he take it?" "Well there was crying involved and a loss of words and we already started talking about a nursery so I'm guessing hes pretty happy." I say laughing and Hayley joins in with me. "You two are totally parents." She says and I laugh again taking a spoonful of ice cream. "I hope so." I say smiling as I eat the ice cream and Hayley takes a bite with her finger. "We will also need to keep the fridge stocked with ice cream and pickles." "Sams going to come home and wonder why I'm fat and I'm blaming you." "What you eat is your fault, see I can eat all of this because I'm pregnant." I say and she flips me off. "I love you Hayley." I say and she smiles. "You're lucky I love you too." "That's what Hunter tells me." I say laughing as I finish eating and I put my bowl in the sink. "I'm going to bed." Hayley says and I nod. "Me too." I say smiling and I walk upstairs and I hear crying come from Natalie's room and I walk in and I see Natalie standing in her crib holding the edge of it and I see tears on her cheeks. "Hey sweetheart, what's wrong?" I say picking her up and she hugs me tightly. "I had a bad dream." She says and I laugh lightly knowing this was coming eventually. "Wanna lay with Mommy tonight?" I say and she nods and I bring her to my room and I set her on the bed and she lays down on Hunters pillow and covers up with blankets. I smile and take my jacket off and I get in bed next to her and she cuddles close to me her blonde hair falling onto my arm and I smile. "Mommy can you sing for me?" She says and I nod and begin to sing and I soon find her breathing steady. I look down and wipe the tears from her cheeks and I smile. I couldnt believe that I was carrying mine and Hunters second child while holding our first child in my arms. It felt like just yesterday I was walking into that small sixth grade classroom and I saw that blonde haired dork sitting in the front row. Now I had the privilege of calling that dork my husband and the father of our not one, but two children. Soon I find my eyelids begin to get heavy as I fall asleep as well.
