Straight Outta 8 Mile

Chapter 42

*The next day*

"Yo?" I hear Marshall answer his phone

"What up?"

"Yeah man it was good, what about yours?"

"Sure man whats up?"

"Yeah, that'd be fine, everyone's just hangin out ya know."

"Yeah for sure man I'll see ya in a min." He finished before ending the call

"Yo babe, Paul's comin ova." Marshall yelled from the other room, I got so used to him coming over that it doesn't even phase me anymore he's part of the family he's been Marshall's manager for so long that I just consider him family. A little bit later Paul came in,

"Whats up?" Paul asked me walking by heading to Marshall's office,

"Not a whole lot, how was your Christmas?" I asked

"Good, what about yours?"

"Good, relaxing." I replied before he walked down the hall to the doorway of Marshall's office, he had it cracked open as usual.

"Yo what up!" I hear Marshall, they go into his home office and close the door behind him, I let them talk for a little while.

Ava's out with some of her friends due to the fact she's on winter break for school, so it was just us at home

I was sitting on the couch rubbing my swollen belly while watching tv when Marshall and Paul come out of the office Marshall walks him to the door and I knew something was going on, the look on his face as he followed Paul to the door.

Then a even worse one as he walked over to us, I felt this tightening in my chest. Marshall came over and sat next to me he bent over to grab the tv remote and muted it. Now I knew it was serious, he signed

"Babe I gotta tell you somethin and I don't think your gunna like it." He started.

"Paul just showed me the numbers and everythin' and he told me that I have ta go on tour ta promote this shit babe." He told me, I knew it was going to be something along those lines and I definitely wasn't excited about it at all, it seems like everytime we felt like we were getting back to normal or something big happens he has to leave.

"I figured babe." I signed as I laid my hand down on the top of his. I knew he had to go but I was so scared that Marshall is going to miss the birth of our son.

"I really don't wanna leave you guys again." He said, I knew he didn't wanna leave but I knew once he got out there on the road he'll enjoy it, he always loved seeing his fans and doing concerts being in different cities.

I helped start his merch. line and I knew that once he left to go on the road business will be booming and I would be just as busy running everything from home and the studio. I knew that the more famous he got the more merchandise would be selling.

"I know you don't sweetie, and we don't want you too but I already know that we can make it through this and your going to have so much fun out there hun." I assured him, he gave me a small smirk before coming and sitting with me on the couch. We sat and made small talk for a little while before I brought up something that's been bothering me and I couldn't wait any longer.

"So what are we going to do when I go into labor and you're out on tour?" I asked Marshall sighing.

"I'll have ta fly back hun." Marshall sighed back at me. I know that the same thing was on both of our minds... what if he misses the birth? I tried not to let it stress me out but sometimes that's all I could think of, he would never forgive himself and feel guilty I didn't want him to feel that way and now it's freaking me out even more.
