Don't Stop Believin Book 2 to Believe

Steph checked the time , got up and walked into the master bathroom.

Filling the tub Steph let the smell of Jordan's body wash fill her senses as the water began to level out.Lighting some candles she flipped on his favorite playlist just as Jordan walked through the door.

"Baby ?" Jordan asked confusion all over his face

Smiling Steph took his hand ,leading him to the tub.

He tried to stop her but she wouldn't

"Babe you said you were hungry"

"I am but this is more important "Steph told him as she unbuckled his belt and pulled his t-shirt out of the waistband of his pants.

Jordan didn't stop her, just watched as she undressed him.

"Baby you and peanut need to eat " he reminded her softly.

Steph ignored him as she pointed to the tub.

Jordan growled frustrated but complied , climbing into the tub.

Steph sat on the side of the tub long enough for Jordan to adjust to the water temperature then began massaging his shoulders and back.

Jordan groaned appreciatively.

The sound only pushed Steph on. She continued washing him.This was new for both of them at least for each other and it amazed her that Jordan trusted her enough to bathe him.

Steph's actions were far from , and definitely not meant to be sexual but his soft groans and moans as she washed him were about to send her over the edge.

"I should be doing this for you " Jordan murmured sleepily

"You always take care of everyone else .Let someone take care of you for once.This isn't a one sided relationship"

Leaning his head against the back of the tub Jordan turned so he could look into Steph's eyes

"I love you baby" he whispered pressing his lips to hers .

Deepening the kiss Steph braced one of her hands on the side of the tub while placing the other at the back of Jordan's head cradling it.

The moment was soon interrupted with the baby kicking Steph's side causing her to inhale sharply.

Jordan shot up out of the water

"Okay ladies time to eat " he said pushing up out of the water ,reaching for the towel Steph set on the side of the tub while it was filling.

Slipping on a robe after drying off Jordan followed Steph into the kitchen.Noticing her attempt at hiding what was obvious discomfort Jordan pointed to the living room and couch

"Go park your ass on that couch woman I got dinner "

"Pushy " Steph muttered when he playfully smacked her ass as she walked into the living room.

Leaning my hip up against the counter as the food I'd set on the counter before she surprised me with a bath combined with a massage that I definitely didn't expect . She seemed to be in quite a bit of discomfort but thinking I couldn't see it. I wondered what the problem was. So far she hadn't had any issues other than the occasional blood pressure spike which was manageable.

Something is off I'm just not sure what.

Once the food was warmed back up Jordan set the table after transferring the contents of the take out containers to plates. He lit the candle in the middle of the table before striding over to Steph , taking her hand in his to lead her to the table.

While they ate they talked about the upcoming tour which Jordan shortened due to the baby's arrival. Steph insisted that he didn't need to do that entirely just long enough for the doctor to clear her postpartum. Jordan disagreed completely cutting the second leg of his tour out completely.

Jordan cleared the plates aside once they finished eating.

Steph cuddled up in the oversize couch resting her feet on the ottoman.Jordan slid in beside her,wrapping his arms around her growing waist gently as he pulled her closer to him.

"You feeling okay babygirl?" he whispered close to her ear

"Crampy and tired "

Steph shifted to find a comfortable spot when she felt wetness pool in her underwear and begin to slide down her inner thigh. Panicking she jumped up wide eyed.

Looking down Jordan saw the puddle on the floor under her feet.

"Did your water break baby ?"

Shaking and emotional Steph looked at him with tears pooling in her eyes "N-not s-sure "

Gather her up in his arms Jordan carried Steph to the car.

"I'm not fucking around with this baby .Something isn't right .It's too soon"

Speeding through the streets of downtown Boston Jordan pulled into the parking lot of the emergency room in record time.

By the time they were in a room Steph's water had indeed broken. What alerted the staff the most was that it was virtually blood.The doctor ordered an emergency cesarean as Steph was prepped for the procedure. While they were getting things set up Jordan called his mother to explain what was going on . Everything in him wanted a drink but he knew it was not a wise choice his girls needed him.

The doctors led Jordan to where he could gown up preparing to go into the operating room with her. Steph was sitting on the side of the bed as the doctor put beta-dine on the spot where the epidural would be placed.Jordan watched as Steph made faces nervously.

"Look at me baby girl .Just keep watching me sweetheart "Jordan encouraged soothingly as he held her hands in his.

Steph winced as she felt the tip of the needle pierce her skin.

"I got you baby"Jordan murmured kissing her gently.
