A few months later - Tommy's POV

It's almost time for my son to arrive. Eight and a half long, long months. Julie can barley fit into my t-shirts without her belly sprouting out from the bottom. A sat on the side of our bed and looked over at the cradle in the corner of the room. Lindsay had sent us over a spare blanket that she had made while she was expecting her and Gabe's son. He was born a few months ago, his names Theo if I remember correctly but we haven't seen them since the last time they were over. I managed not to fall out with anyone else while they were over. They stayed for a week after their arrival and Gabe refused to drop the subject on who was the father of my child.

I had built the cradle along with Tay about a week ago. The blue and white stripped blanket hung over the side of the cradle along with a small elephant teddy that sat patiently waiting to be played with. Kyle had come a long way and was beginning to say a few words. He started to call Jules 'Mommy' which while the others found 'cute' or 'funny'...I highly despised this. Emme was his mother not Jules and only my children should be calling her that not anyone else.

Julie was shuffling around in the bathroom before she finally emerged after her shower. A large towel barley covered her now and I watched as she went past me with the base of her bum showing under her towel. I gave it a smack as she went by before taking off my shirt and waiting for her to get into bed. She rolled her eyes at me and after drying off she crawled into bed next to me. I tried to wrap my arms around her but ended up instead resting my hands on her bump.

After wishing each other goodnight I kissed her lips and let my head fall into my pillow.

A few hours later

"Tommy...Tommy wake up..." Julie was shaking me gently with worry in her voice.

Rubbing my eyes I glanced at the alarm. 2:34 AM.

"What the fuck do you want Jules?" I rolled over wanting to go back to sleep.

"I think my waters broke..." Julie started shaking me again.

"Well what the hell does that mean?" 

"Tommy!" Out of no where she cried out and gripped my hand in a death hold as she doubled over in pain.

"Julie! Whats happening!"

"For God sake Tommy I'm about to give birth!" Julie shouted before gripping my hand and letting out another cry.

"Holy shit..." I pried my hand from Julies grip and ran into the bathroom grabbing every towel I could. Running back into the room I flicked on the light to see that Julie was sat up in bed, red faced and sweating. Dumping the towels next to her I ran out of the room and into Taylor's room. Flicking on his light I shouted his name as I ran into his bathroom and grabbed all the towels he had in his cupboard. 

"Can you keep it down? I don't want Kyle waking up..." Taylor mumbled and walked into the bathroom giving me a funny look.

"Jules is in labor." I said shoving the towels into his hands and running back into my room just as Julie let out another cry.

"Tommy!" 

"I'm hear baby don't worry...It's OK yeah!" I grabbed her hand and kissed her forehead softly.

Taylor came rushing in behind me and started throwing out instructions to me.

"Tom, I'll get Julie comfy. I need you to lay out the towels underneath her and take off her bottoms. You're gonna help deliver your baby OK?"

"I'm gonna what?" I replied in disbelief.

"Just shut up and do it!" Taylor snapped as he helped Julie sit back against the bed with extra cushions behind her. 

I did my best to lift her legs and place the towels flat underneath her. Taking off her jogging bottoms I lifted her legs until her knees were bent and I had a clear view of...well where the baby was coming from and the sight almost made me pass out.

Taylor was giving Julie instructions on when to push and it wasn't long before something started to come through.

"I-I see a head!" I called out weakly. This is certainly something I never want to do again. Next time I'm just going to hold her hand.

"Come on Jules keep pushing!" I said as I got a towel ready.

Before I knew it a small, wet baby was lying in front of me, it's mouth open screaming and thrashing around it's tiny limbs.

Quickly I wrapped up the small baby in a towel and let Taylor cut the umbilical cord. I looked at Taylor and smiled but it quickly dropped when I saw Taylor mouth 'boy or girl?'. My body tensed as I lifted the towel to check the gender of the small thing in my arms.

"Tommy?" Julies voice floated through my ears, filled with concern and exhaustion.

I walked over to Julie who held out her arms as I placed our son in them.

"Our little boy Jules..." I whispered in her ear before kissing her temple.

I glanced at Taylor who gave me a warm smile before heading back to his own room.

"Jason..." I heard Julie whisper beside me.

"Is that what you want to call him?" She nodded and I smiled kissing her happily and gently kissing my sons head. 

"Jason..." I repeated.
