Speech • A Cameron Dallas AU

Chapter 19

[Note this is really long. K.]

After hearing my phone ring for the fourth time since I'd put Davis down, I ran downstairs and grabbed my phone. "Mom❤️" I picked it up and lifted it to my ear. "Hey, mom."

"Cameron. When can you fly home?" My father was on the other line and I heard my mother going on frantically about something. I couldn't clearly understand her. "I don't know, depends on the situation." I spoke starting to clean up Davis' toys. "Your sister was in a car crash this morning." The toy in my hand fell into the box. "Are you serious? How bad was it?" I asked walking over to the couch and sitting down. "Through a guardrail over a hill. The car was totaled and your sister was life lighted to the hospital." I sat there, the phone glued to my ear as my eyes flickered to a photo of Sierra with Davis, on the wall. "I'll get there as soon as a flight is available. I promise." I sighed when my dad mumbled something then hung up. I ran upstairs grabbing my heavily used suitcase and opening Snapchat. "Hey guys, this is urgent so listen up. I'm going to New York." Next clip. "I'm not going to NYC I'm actually going to be in the hospital with my sister."

"I just found out that she was in a car accident this morning and she was life lighted away from the scene."

"I know you guys are expecting a video today but there's no way this is going to happen with what's going on."

"I'm really sorry to disapoint you but my family comes first. Also please keep my sister in your thoughts. It means a lot."

I made a vine of me throwing clothes into a suitcase hurriedly and spoke "I'm not making a video today. Go check out my snapchat for more info." I posted the vine which connected it to twitter. I rushed to finish packing and used Siri to find flights from LA to New York. I headed to Davis' room and quietly grabbed clothes, and her suitcase. I out her things in there and grabbed her diaper bag and shoved in an extensive amount of diapers for her. I then went back to my room, and printed out tickets. I then zipped up the suitcase and grabbed the rest of my things, headphones, laptop, things I'd need for the flight. I then put them in the car and rushed upstairs to get Davis. She was still asleep, so I carefully picked her up and headed to the car. I buckled her in, making sure her travel stroller was in the back, since no one wanted to carry her twenty four seven. I got in and started driving to the airport.

I got there, checked everything but my backpack, Davis' and her stroller. I'd check it at the gate. I headed to security and waited with a still sleeping Davis. I pulled out my phone and Snapchat videoed her. It was just her sleeping and squirming with a caption. "She's been asleep for a good 4 hrs" I chuckled posting it and then tweeting. "No video today guys. Sorry. Plz check snapchat for more info." I picked Davis up out of her stroller and let the staff deal with it. I walked through the detector and then waited for our stuff. I bounced Davis gently before I heard a gasp behind me. "Davis and Cameron, Hi!" I turned around and saw a very familiar face. "Zoe!" I smiled and hugged the familiar Brit. "Where are you off to?" She asked giving some attention to Davis. "New York to visit Aunt Sierra in the hospital."

"I heard about that. I am so sorry Cam. I hope she's alright!" She spoke with sincerity. "Thanks. I do too. Bright side of things we get to vist Mommy in New York City!" I spoke holding Davis' hand and shaking it in the air. "Aw that's awesome!"

"Yeah. Davis gets to meet her little brother or sister then." Zoe's eyes widened and looked at me. "Another?"

"Oh shoot, you weren't supposed to know about that..." I spoke softly looking at her. "Please keep it a secret until we announce it, please Zoe I'm begging you I wasn't supposed to let that slip."

"Hey, don't worry. It's not my business in the first place." I sighed softly and smiled at her. "Thank you. I've got to get going if I'm going to make my flight." She giggled and rubbed Davis' arm softly. "Alright. See you Dave." I smiled and waved at her grabbing our things and starting to the gate.

I sat down at the gate and rocked Davis' stroller back and forth to help lull her to sleep. I watched her and felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and spotted a familiar hat. "Matt Espinosa get your butt over here." I spoke excitedly, as Matt got up and jumped over empty seats. I stood up and hugged him tightly pulling away. "Dude what are you doing here?" He shrugged. "I live here and I wanted to visit Nash and so I'm getting a connecting flight from New York."

"Since when do you live here?" I asked chuckling. "Since 2014 dude."

"That's a lie. You're lying to me."

"No I'm not- Davis!!" Matt then turned his attention to a now fully awake Davis since she'd heard Matt's voice. He picked her up and played with her and I took the time to run and get a coffee from Starbucks. I came back and took her and put her back in her stroller. It true do out Matt was on the same flight as us so we sat next to each other. We got to New York and Davis was asleep. Again. I grabbed her and got her stroller from the gate and set it up so I could get our luggage.

We got to the hospital and Davis was chewing on her blanket. I asked for my sister and headed up to her room. You know it's bad when the tell you one of the upper floors near the ICU. My parents sat anxiously waiting for something. "Anything?" I asked looking at my mom. "Nothing." I sighed and sat down rocking Dave's stroller just out of comfort. "They've moved her in and out of the ICU twice." My father spoke, a hand on his chin. "Maybe you guys should go and wait in a hotel. Get some sleep. I'll stay here and you guys could watch Davis for me?" They nodded getting up and taking her and her things. I sat in the plastic chairs texting Liz.

"Just thought I'd let you know I'm in New York. I'm about two hours from downtown so text me if you need anything."

I went to twitter seeing '#PrayforSierra' was trending and smiled. I then tweeted, "In and out of the ICU twice 😁 hopefully we stay out and wake up. #PrayforSierra"

"Why? I thought you and Dave were making a video on how to be a one year old today?"

"Plans were changed. Sierra was in a car crash this morning."

"Omfg I totally forgot about that. I'd seen it on twitter and was about to text you about it but then forgot. I hope she's doing okay. Do you need me to come and get Davis?"

"No. She's with my parents back at the hotel. I'm in the hospital with my sister."

"Oh, alright. Hey babe."

"Yeah?"

"Look what I got today."

She then sent me digital copies of ultrasounds. I looked at them strangely amused. I smiled and replied. "It looks like an alien. 👽"

"Are you sure you're twenty three Cameron?"

"Absolutely positive."

"I don't believe you."

"Did you get the gender?"

"It was a struggle but I did. The staff member wrote it down on a piece of paper and put it on and envelope and wrote 'Open when.... Baby Nades-Dallas' gender is needed to be shared.' Which I thought was adorable."

"You find everything adorable."

"This is true."

I chuckled and laid on the remaining three chairs creating a bed.

"I'm going to get some sleep. I love you two."

"We love you more. Nighty night daddy."

I smiled and pocketed my phone and struggled to get comfortable for the long night ahead.
