I grabbed my phone at Roman's protest. I looked at the screen, Taylor. Why was she calling so early? I picked up my phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Emery, thank God." The voice said, but it wasn't  Taylor's, it was Drake.

"Drake? What's wrong?"

"Taylor, she's in labor."

"What?!?!"

"Can you meet us at the hospital?"

"Yes, we'll be right there."

"What now?" Roman complained.

"Taylor, now let's go." I told him, he lost his annoyed face and we quickly got our stuff and left. It wasn't long before we got there. We asked the nurse for Taylor and they told us the way. I won't lie, we got lost for a few minutes, but got there nonetheless.

"Hey," we said as we walked into the room. Taylor was on the bed, clearly in pain, while Drake was sitting in the chair next to the bed, holding her hand.

"How's it going?" I asked, standing by the edge of the bed. It was then I could truly see Drake's face and it looked more pale than Taylor. It was weird to see him so weak and scared, I always saw him as this big, muscular, tough guy.

"Slow," Taylor responded.

"What can we do?"

"Get the house ready, there are somethings that need to be finished, Drake will send you a list."

"Sure, we can do that." I told her and me and Roman left.

It was a lot of work that we had to do, short list, but hard work. Of course, we had to put the crib together, which took us a good hour and a half. We hoped it would stay together and secure. After that, we put out a few necessities where they belonged. Then we had to do the kitchen. They had all the rooms together except that. This alone took 3 hours. We were wiped by the end of it. Altogether it took us almost 6 hours to finish it.

We kept in touch with everyone at the hospital, and not much had happened, she was only 6 cem dialted. After it was finished we flopped down on the couch.

"It's beautiful in here, simple, but beautiful." I said admiring the big empty room.

"I guess," Roman said, obviously not interested.

"Think about it, this could be us in a year," I said, and I got a surprised look from him. "Without the baby." I added, releaving him of any ideas or fears.

"You think we'll be together in a year? You've thought about our future?"

"Yeah, I always think about our future, don't you?"

"I do, I just wasn't sure you did. What do you see?"

"I see us moving into one of these houses in Gloria's new neighborhood. I then see us getting engaged within 2 years and married in 3. Then a few years later, a baby. Of course, I would go to college nearby."

"Wow, you really have thought."

"Yup," I told him, turning to face him. "I can't wait for our future."

"Me too," he said and leaned forward and gave me a kiss. It was warm and comforting. He then pulled me into him and it wasn't long before we fell asleep.
