Unconditional Love: A Mother's Gift

A Storm

*Well, I decided to combine two chapters into one. I hope you all don't mind. Enjoy!*

While Stevie was on bed rest, Lindsey, Mick and John did some overtime and they were close to the end of the recording of the album.
All that was needed were a few vocals from Stevie then they were officially done.

A week later, Stevie returned to the studio and finished her vocals. Stevie was relieved; it was one less thing to worry about. All that was needed was for the album to be mixed then after the baby was born the band could start rehearsals for the up coming tour.

Since finishing the album, the house they had rented was quickly emptied of all the studio equipment.

During all of this, Robin was by Stevie's side and everywhere that Stevie went and during the time at the studio, Robin would do what she would normally would do while being stuck at the studio all day. She would sit on the floor and play with her toys that Karen had brought over from home and she would sing along with her mother and father.

Robin could feel a change in atmosphere; she could feel everyone was on edge. She was confused and clung to Stevie even more than ever. She had always clung to Stevie but now, it was more intense. Robin even began sleeping in between Lindsey and Stevie at night. Stevie was worried, but she too needed to have Robin close so she was okay with Robin sleeping with them.

Lindsey would wake up either with Robin's foot in his face or he would wake up with only a tiny bit of space of bed causing him on several occasions to fall off the bed. He would curse under his breath and rub wherever was hurting, but then he would give a chuckle as he looked at his little girl still sleeping. Her light brown curls going every which way, her head laying on Stevie's pillow while she held her stuffed penguin. He would then look on at Stevie and just marveled at her beauty. Stevie's golden blonde hair flaring out on her pillow, her hand resting on her belly as she slept on.

Everyday Lindsey would count his blessings; Stevie and his children were his greatest blessings of all, and now his grandchild.

Since the album was finished, Lindsey would wake up each morning and swim some laps then he would make a late breakfast for his family.

On one of these mornings, Lindsey had just turned off the stove when the doorbell rang. He quickly rushed to answer it before the doorbell could wake anyone.

He opened the door and smiled at the person standing in front of him.
"Hey Buckingham! Long time no see! It's good to see you." The person said as they reached out to hug Lindsey. "By the way, what's with the security?"
Lindsey hugged them back and said. "Christine! It's good to see you too. Sorry about that, I'll explain later. What do we owe this surprise visit?"
"Surprise visit?" Christine pulled back and looked at Lindsey. "Stevie didn't tell you?"
"Um...no. What's going on?" He asked.
"Well, it's not everyday that my first born niece is having a baby so I had talked to Stevie that I wanted to throw Destiny a baby shower, which I was planing on doing in a few days." Christine said. "Stevie said it would be a perfect time the last time I spoke to her. I can't believe Stevie didn't tell you."

Lindsey led Christine into the living room while carrying her bags. "No she didn't but..." Lindsey sighed as he set them down. "It's been kind of hectic at the moment. Would you like something eat? I just made breakfast."
"Yes thank you." Christine said as she followed Lindsey into the kitchen.

Lindsey served Christine then went to go check on Stevie and Robin. Aiden was once again sleeping over at Owen's. Lindsey peeked in and saw Stevie's side of the bed empty. Robin still slept on.
