So these past few months have been really great. My pregnancy was going great, Avenged Sevenfold’s album was sounding great, and Zacky and I were planning our wedding, and getting ready for the birth of our daughter. The day started out like normal. Zacky went to the studio, while I stayed home and I invited the girls over for lunch and to just hang out. We were just talking and watching a movie when I started to feel like I was leaking.” Um guys? I think my water broke and I’m going into labor.” I said. “Kristan you serious?” Michelle asked me. “Yes! Ow here come the contractions! Nicole please call Zacky and tell him and the guys to meet us at the hospital” I told Nicole. “Ok no problem just calm down and try to relax. Everything is gonna be alright. Ashley make sure Kristan gets in the car carefully. Toni go upstairs and get Kristan’s hospital bag. April call Kristan’s parents and tell them that Kristan’s going into labor and have them meet us at the hospital.” Nicole said giving the girls orders. Then Nicole called Zacky to tell him what was going on. “Zacky you and the guys need to meet us at the hospital. Kristan’s going into labor.” Nicole says. “Ok we’ll be there in five minutes.” Zacky said before hanging up. Then we all got in Ashley’s car and drove to the hospital.”Ow god it hurts so badly!” I yell. “We’re almost there Kris just do your breathing.” Toni coached me. We then arrived at the hospital just when the guys showed up. “Hey babe how you feeling?” Zacky asked me.”How the fuck do you think I feel?! I’m having a goddamn baby!! Oh my god it hurts!” I yell out. When we got inside and I was lying down in the hospital bed, Dr. Jackson came in to check on me.”So Kristan you are fully dilated so let’s get you your epidural going.” he told me. So I got my epidural in and I was ready to give birth to my daughter. Zacky and my mom were in the hospital room with me while I was giving birth. “Come on babe give a good push. I’m so proud of you. You’re doing such a good job.”Zacky said smiling. “Ow it’s so painful babe. I want Angel out right now!” I said crying. “Come on Kristan just one more push and your daughter is born.” Dr. Jackson said. I gave one last big push, and that day, I gave birth to Angel Harlow Baker. She looks a little like Zacky and she has my eyes. Zacky and I cried and we just held our daughter, who was a beautiful little girl. “Babe I’ll be back. I’m gonna go get the rest of the guys.” Zacky said. “Ok Zacky love you.” I told him. “Love you too.” He said and he left. When he came back, he was with the others. “Hey guys say hi to Angel.” I smiled. “Aw Kristan she’s so cute. Can I hold her?” Ashley asked me. “Yeah of course” I said as I handed her Angel. “Hey there Angel it’s your Auntie Ashley. You are gonna be a heartbreaker when you’re older.” Ashley said smiling. “Wow Zacky she looks just like you.” Jimmy said holding Angel. “Oh I know. She’s beautiful like her mom.” Zacky said smiling. “So Kristan how are you feeling?” Matt asked me. “I’m sore as hell Matt. Giving birth is the worse pain I had ever felt, even if I had an epidural it still hurts.” I said giggling. “So when are you able to come home?” Johnny asked me. “Well my doctor says that I can go home in three days.” I told him.”And sorry Zacky but the doctor says that we can’t have sex for 6 weeks since that’s how long I have to heal up.” I told him giggling. “Aw man!! Oh well I can wait. Waiting 6 weeks can’t be that hard.” Zacky said cracking up with everybody else. “Yeah right Zacky I don’t believe that.” Brian said. “Yes I can. I’m not a crazed sex addict like you.” Zacky said laughing and Brian flipped him off. After the day was hectic and crazy, it turned out to be beautiful with the birth of Angel. If Zacky and I weren’t ready for parenthood, we were ready now. We were ready to be a family, and Zacky and I planned to get married a few months after Michelle and Jacoby’s wedding, and Jimmy and April’s wedding was 2 months away.
