IM BACK!!! I'll give it another ending since the other was really depressing.
Everyone's POV
"Mr. Mulligan? I have news about your husband." A doctor tells us and looks toward Lafayette. Terror strikes his face as he wonders if the news will be good or bad. "He made a full recovery." He tells him and Lafayette sighs in relief. "What about James? What about the baby!?" John stands up and gets louder, very stressed from constantly worrying about his fiancé and unborn child. "They are both well and resting." The doctor smiles and an overwhelming amount of joy fills John. "Mrs.Jefferson?" Alex looks up from having her head in her hands. "Your husband was in bad shape but he's doing well." The man smiles at her warmly. "Oh thank god." She murmurs and looks at Laf who is also glad about the good news. "When can we see them?" John asks the doctor who is still smiling. "James is asleep but you may visit him. Thomas needs a little more time to recover before visitors." The doctor says and walks off to help another patient. A nurse ushers John to follow her down a hallway towards the rooms of patients. His heart is racing and he wants to hold James and never let go. John's POV
"James?" I whisper after I quietly open the door. "Yeah?" He replies and I walk towards him. I kneel by his bed and stroke his face gently. "Do you feel okay?" I ask and he nods. "Now that you're here." I cup his face with my hand and kiss him softly. "I'm scared... did I fail at being a parent before we could find out the gender?" James asking me that question broke my heart. "You are an amazing parent. You take vitamins, do everything in your power to keep you and the baby safe, and are a wonderful person and even better fiancé. You haven't failed in the slightest. The baby is perfectly fine. You're fine. That's all that matters to me. I love you, James." I tell him and kiss him passionately.
5 month time skip. James is 8 months pregnant.
James's POV
We have been preparing for the last few weeks. Everything has to be perfect before our baby girl gets here. "Hey John?" I ask. "Craving?" He asks not looking up as he's trying to build the crib. "Nah. Strawberries do sound good, but I was wondering if you think I'd make a good mom." I tell He and he stares at me shocked. That almost autocorrected to shooketh So now I'm laughing like a maniac. "Of course. Why do you think I'd say any different?" He asks and wraps an arm around my shoulders. I snuggle into his chest as he pulls me close and kisses my forehead. We cuddled like that for a while, he helped me get up and sit on the couch when we heard a knock at the door. I slide off the couch slowly then regret it instantly. I am now stuck lying on my back on the ground near the couch. This is my life now. This is where I will stay from now on. "James? What even?" I hear from above me. "I was trying to get up." I tell him. Lafayette holds out a hand to help me get up. "There is one gentleman in this house." I say and heave myself up with Lafayette's help. A lot of Lafayette's help. "Wow. Just wow James." John mocks offense and Herc looks at me with a hand on his chest in play hurt. Oh god. Ow. John can obviously see the discomfort in my face as I feel heavy kicks in my stomach. "James?" I hear. The voice is tiny and scared. "I'll be fine. The baby is kicking and it hurts." I explain and lay my head on his chest. He puts a hand on my large stomach and flinches when the baby kicks again. Herc lets us have space and I try to calm John down. He looks up at me confused. "I just realized. They might be contractions. You're pretty far along so I don't really doubt it." He tells me. That seems reasonable, and it feels how ladies have said it feels like. I nod and we cuddle on the couch. Laf sits on his husband's lap and puts on a movie. I start to fall asleep but jump at another contraction, causing John to jump. "Are you okay?" Laf asks looking very concerned. "Y-Yeah. I'm okay. It just hurts." I tell him. I push off of John and waddle to the bedroom. I manage to get myself onto the bed and try to fall asleep. Laf walks in with John behind him. "You seemed like you were lying. Are you okay, James?" He asks. He sits next to me and I start to cry. "I-I'm so scared Laf. I don't think I can do this." I tell him through tears. "It's gonna be okay mon ami. I have your back through this. We can do it together." He says and I nod. He's in tears. We both are now crying and I wonder where John or Herc is. They walk in, speaking of the devils, and notice that we're crying. "We're fine. He started crying and it spread like wildfire." Laf explains in Herc's giant hug. John seems... angry. Why? Why is he upset? Did I do that? Who did? I'll ask him. "John, you seem mad. Is everything okay?" I ask and he scowls at me. That hurt a lot. I'm gonna leave him be to cool off. Whatever I did was probably stupid or a misunderstanding. I'll go hang out with Maria and Eliza for a bit.
