You're Back

Tour vs Hailey

The following day rose upon the tired couple. Hailey groaned as she started to wake up due to some back pain.
Michael was peacefully asleep in their bed, with a few soft snores escaping his lips. The girl glanced at him, and sighed. She didn't want to wake him up.
Hailey sat up slowly but more pain rose upon her body. This was a familiar pain, and she didn't ever want to feel it again.
"M-M-MICH-MICHAEL!" Hailey yelled as she held her stomach in pain.
The boy jumped up startled and looked at his wife.
"What baby? Is it the baby?" Michael asked, his voice raspy and tired.
"Y-YES!" Hailey croaked out and Michael jumped up out of bed.
"I-is he coming n-now? O-o-or?" Michael asked dialing 911 into his phone.
"N-no, I-I-it's the b-bad pains...." Hailey said softly, and the boy looked over to his wife. He knew exactly what she meant, she was feeling the pain of a miscarriage.
"I-I-hello uh w-we need an ambulance! P-please! My w-wife is uh having a baby I th-think!" Michael stuttered out to the operator who said they'll be there soon.
Hailey closed her eyes as more tears streamed down her face. She didn't want to lose another child, especially one of her own with Michael.
"Y-you'll b-be Okay... s-so will P-Peter! M-maybe he's c-coming early?" Michael asked softly trying to lighten up the situation, but of course only Hailey knew how both of those felt.
"I-I-I don'T THINK SO!" Hailey yelled out griping the sheets as more pain ran through her body. Michael grabbed her hand and caressed it.
"Want me to sing or freestyle? Maybe not freestyle that's n-not calming..." the boy said, placing his hand onto her stomach gently.
"P-please?" Hailey whispered out to him, and the boy began to sing softly to her.
The ambulance arrived at the couples house, and they put Hailey onto the stretcher. Michael ran behind them as he jumped into the back of the red truck.
"What are you feeling?" The lady asked while checking Hailey's temperature, blood pressure and heart rate.
"H-horrible pains... I-in my back a-and stomach..." Hailey cried out, and felt a familiar pain. The baby was coming, well what Hailey thought anyways.
"Okay and how-" Hailey yelped out before the lady could continue.
"I-I-I hate t-to interuPT BUT I THIBK HE'S COMING!" Hailey yelled out and Michael's eyes widened. Two months early, not uncommon but shocking.
"Let's look!" The lady ran over to check up on Hailey, and glanced up at her. "Oh god yeah he is!" The lady said and Hailey groaned in pain.
"UGH!" Hailey groaned out and Michael held onto her hand.
"Okay we're almost at the hospital but I think we're gonna have to birth him here..." she said strictly, and Hailey nodded.
After what felt like hours of pain, baby Peter was finally born. Hailey cried tears of joy as she heard his cries. The girl smiled as she wiped him off and handed him to Hailey.
"H-hi b-buddy" Hailey stuttered out, as a few tears fell. Holding her son in her arms was a happy feeling.
"H-he's handsome" Michael said smiling at his wife.
         "Just like y-you" Hailey said with a tired smile.
         The EMT rolled Hailey's stretcher into the hospital to get her a proper room.
"Since he's two months early, he's a premature baby. We're gonna have to take him and check on him, okay? You'll get to see him in a few days" The doctor informed the married couple.
          "O-okay" Hailey said, leaning her head back just wanting to sleep.
         "Baby girl, go to sleep okay? I'll call our parents so they know" Michael said taking his phone out and unlocked his phone. "Uh, sHIT!" He yelled looking at the date.
         Hailey opened her eyes and looked at the boy.
          "Hmm?" She hummed as she raised an eyebrow.
           "I-I-I have to go...." Michael said softly, and his wife wasn't taking that.
           "You've got to be KIDDING ME! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING!" Hailey yelled at him.
           "B-babe I-" Michael tried to find the words, but Hailey wasn't taking excuses.
           "Don't "babe I" me! You're not going! You're going to tell John that I gave birth to our son so tour has to be pushed back!" Hailey said angered at her husband.
           "I can't just do that! Peter was planned to be born two months from today..." Michael said but Hailey gave him a dirty glance, quickly shutting him up.
        "You're kidding me right now Conor.... because I cANT CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GIVE BIRTH!" Hailey yelled, her eyes tearing up. She didn't like how he was blaming all of this on her.
          "And I caNT CONTROL MY TOUR SCHEDULE!" Michael yelled back at her, locking his phone.
         "I'm not arguing with you anymore about this. Just leave I don't care" Hailey said turning away from her husband and closing her eyes. A few tears fell from her eyes knowing his choosing tour over his family.
        Michael stood in Hailey's hospital room in confusion. He didn't know what he should do. He has his career, but he also a life to live with his family.
        "I didn't hear the door open, go! Bye Conor" Hailey said through anger.
         Michael walked towards the door, and placed his hand on the handle and turned it.
         "Peter's not going to know you... you're lucky Skylar was old enough to remember you. Peter, ha, good luck with that. He'll grow up thinking I'm a single parent with Sky" Hailey said, and shook her head at the thought of their reality.
          Hearing those words, made everything so clear to Michael.
         "N-no" Michael stuttered out, making Hailey look at him. "Y-yeah I said no, I'm not l-leaving.... I may have a career but I also have a life to live" he said softly to his wife.
        "Really now?" Hailey said, glancing at his hand on the handle and back up to his eyes.
         "I'm not" Michael said releasing the handle and walking back over to his wife. "I love you" he said taking her hand in his, as he placed a loving kiss to it.
          Hailey smiled softly at her husband. She was glad he knew what the smart choice was.
        "I love you too" Hailey said with a soft smile.
         "I'm gonna c-call John and reschedule tour. The fans wil-" Michael was interrupted by the doctor who had a not so happy look on his face.
        "We've got some bad news..." the doctor said, and the married couple looked at each other. This is what they were most afraid of.
