Biker Girl

014

Three months later.

I waddle into the clubhouse with Mateo, who is back with Santiago and Sofia. Mateo was wanting to see me, Santiago wanted to see Sadie, and Sofia wanted to see Rubin.

"Look at you, girl." Nina rubs my belly right as water gushes all over both of our feet.

"Was that you or me?" I ask before contracting. "Me!!! I'm in labor!"

Mateo picks me up without a struggle, and rushes me to my hummer. He grabs the keys, and he drives me to the hospital. Keeping my breathing under control, Mateo drives to the hospital in Manhattan.
—
"You're ready to push." Dr Shepherd says. "Let's do it."

Mateo grabs my hand as I begin to push as hard as I can.

"Breath." Shepherd says after counting to ten. "Okay, Push."

I push and he counts until my baby is out, a month early.

"Get him incubated." Shepherd says. "Miss Sparks, Avon is struggling to breath on his own, due to under developed lungs. He will be fine in time."

I nod as shepherd delivers the placenta, and sews what needs sewn.
—

"Where is he?" Gavin asks, Mateo went to the clubhouse.

"Incubated." I reply. "Avon was struggling to breath. Under developed lungs."

"He's gonna be just fine." Nina takes my hand, she is still big and pregnant with little Ava. "He's strong, if he takes after you."

"I called Nova and Reese." Gavin says. "They are carving the first flight. Might be tomorrow when they see you and Avon."

"Thanks." I reply. "I gotta pee."

"I'll help," Sofia says from the door.

Sofia helps me stand like the nurses said to, and helps me to the bathroom. I sit on the toilet, and a relieved sigh leaves my mouth. I become more relieved when the pee exits me and enters the toilet bowl.

—
Mateo is back when I make it back to my room. He is talking to Gavin about motorcycle stuff. I lay in bed, and Sofia covers me up.

"I'm gonna go look in on Avon," Sofia says. "Nina, wanna join?"

"Yes, lets go." Nina replies.

Author's Point Of View
Nina and Sofia walk down the hall to the nursery, and see Avon. He looks just like Emery, with gray eyes. Avon has Rylan's blonde hair, Nina notices that much.

"He looks good." Nina says.

Sofia nods. "So strong. So sad he isn't breathing fully on his own yet."

"I know." Nina replies. "I'm glad he looks like Emery. He's strong, like her."

"He'll survive this." Sofia says. "I just know it." 

Rubin is standing behind them, looking at Avon James Montgomery. Emery decided to keep the last name Montgomery for Avon, because she wasn't that cold-hearted towards Rylan.

"He is strong." Rubin speaks, startling Sofia and Nina. "Just like his mother."

Rubin continues looking at Avon, and he sighs. He walks away, wanting to check on his friend Emery.

Rylan's Point Of View
I sit at the bar, Chandler passing me glass after glass of bourbon. Emery is giving birth to Avon, or she might have already. Avon has come a month early. That cannot be healthy on him.

"If he's like Emery, he's strong." Chandler tells me, handing me my three shots of tequila.

"I know he's tough like her." I reply, swallowing the shots. "Water please, I want to try seeing him."

"I'd call Nova or Emery first." Mateo says, sitting beside me. "Whiskey, neat."

"How's Avon?" I ask.

"Under developed lungs." Mateo replies. "He's gonna make it. They have him incubated until he can breath on his own."

"Who does he look like?" I ask, before I can stop myself.

Mateo smile, and shows me a picture of Avon. He looks like his mother. I smile at the picture, and look away. Penelope walks in, causing Chandler to down four shots of whiskey.

"My son was born today." I tell my new girlfriend. "A month early."

Penelope smiles. "Awe."

"He looks like Emery." I say, a Mateo shoes Penelope a picture of Avon.

"He does look like her." Penelope agrees.
Emery's Point Of View

Dr Shepherd pushes my wheelchair into the NICU, right up to Avon. His gray eyes are open, and he is smiling so adorable.

"His lungs should be developed in a weeks time." Dr Shepherd says down to me, with a smile.

I looks at Avon. "I'm gonna call your father. He may want to see you."

Rylan's Point Of View

My phone rings as Mateo chats with me and Penelope, I'm shocked when I see Emery's name.

"Emery, how are you?" I answer into the phone immediately.

"I'm tired." Emery replies gently. "You should come to the hospital. My dad don't care, I called him first."

"I'll be right there." I say, and rush out.

Penelope will be pissed, because I left her behind. My son is more important than her.
—
Emery is sitting by the incubator when I arrive.

"Hey." I greet.

"Come over here," Emery says with a smile. 

When I get closer, my eyes focus on Avon.

"What's his last name?" I ask. It's probably Sparks.

"Montgomery," Emery replies, catching me by surprise. "I'm not that cold-hearted towards you, Rylan."

I look at Avon some more. "Thank you, Emery. For letting me see him, and giving him my last name."

"Of course, Rylan." Emery replies. "Why didn't you bring Penelope? I wanted to properly meet her, and have her meet Avon- she is your girlfriend, now."

"I'll bring her tomorrow." I say. "You're tired."

Emery's Point Of View

Gavin helps me in bed when Dr Shepherd gets me to my room. I cover up with the thin covers, and I fall sound asleep, dreaming of holding my son for the first time.
