WTF?

Chapter 39

**KIA'S POV**

** FFWD TO D-DAY **

Since our last blow-up at my grandparents' house, I haven't spoken at all to my Dad. I stayed at home doing my studies, taking care of the house, and preparing for the life we were bringing into the world. Both my lovers were on the road with Slipknot but I knew if I called them, they would come back home immediately. We were trying to keep everything from the rest of the band but knew at some point we'd have to come out. I had legally changed my last name to Thomson-Root. Yes, it's hyphenated. I wanted both their names and our children will have both their names! Marriage doesn't mean anything since my name has been legally changed anyhow!

My Dad was still having a hard time with our relationship. Stephanie, however, was much more understanding and open to how we were living. I kept her up-to-date on the things I was doing even though I was sure she would tell my Dad if he asked her. My nerves were acting up today. I was just a few days from my due date. Stephanie called me every day to see how I was and see if I needed anything. She even went to the Lamaze classes with me when the guys were on the road!

I was busy cleaning the house, not that it needed much cleaning as I did a little cleaning every day, making sure the dishes were washed, and did some laundry. I seem to be urinating unusually frequently with a low back ache. Walking down the hall to use the restroom, I had to stop and look at some of the "family" photos that adorned the wall. Some of Mick and me, some of me, some of the band, some of the baby.

Well the sonogram pictures that have been taken. Seeing these pictures always brought a smile to my face. My bladder was screaming at me so I went on to the bathroom and pulled myself out of my reverie. I was on edge and could not figure out why.

As I was walking back to the laundry room, I felt like I just peed on myself. Even though I was alone I felt incredibly embarrassed. I was in the middle of dialing Steph's number when I a very sharp pain radiated through my back to my front.

"Hey baby girl!" Stephanie cheerfully replied

"Need help...please come over!" I cried

"Ok, I'll on the way. What's wrong? Are you ok?" I heard her ask as a door, presumably her front door, slammed shut

"Sharp pains.... water everywhere..." I cried

"Ok, take some deep breaths. It sounds like you might be in labor. Take a seat. I'll be there soon." She told me

Labor! Oh my God. They're not here! I can't have this baby without them! I was crying when my step-mother burst through the door. She gave me a warm, motherly smile when she saw me. She talked me through what was going on and came to the conclusion that I was indeed in labor. She asked me to get my over-night bag so she could take me to the hospital. I was so scared. Stephanie was with me but without Mick & James I still felt alone. They told me that they both wanted to be here for me when it came this time.

I dialed Mick's number first. It rang and rang till it went to voicemail. So I dialed James' number next.

"Hey there Precious! Why the early-ish call? Is everything alright?" He stated as he answered

"Stephanie is taking me to the hospital right now. I think my water broke." I sniffled

"OH MY GOD! We'll be there as soon as we can. Hang in there, Precious. I love you!" James told me

I could hear something in the back ground that sounded like Mick.

"Please hurry! I'm so scared. Ooooooooooooooh." I stated

"What's wrong?" James immediately questioned

"MMmmmm, con......trac......tion....." I finally got out
