Michael had a whole meltdown. The nurses had to sedate him. I'm so tired. "Lay down Dre, he's gonna be out for the night." Kim told me. I nodded doing as told. "I'm leaving sweetheart. Keep me updated." Kate said hugging me tight then leaving. I laid down finally sleeping.

Flashback

"Michael I'm so fat!" I whined. "You're pregnant and I think you look so sexy." He said sitting next to me on the couch. He kissed my cheek, then rest his hand on my belly. 9 months pregnant and i was feeling it. "Oh that was a big kick." I gasped as Michael smiled and felt on my belly. "Come on Jay Jackson. Daddy is so ready for you." Michael said feeling Jay move around. "How many more babies do you want?" He asked me, "uhh I don't know. This is all a bit overwhelming. Give me a year then ask me." I said.

Michael has been staying home with me, because I am getting close to my due date. I occasionally get contractions, but they aren't the real thing. Just Jay getting ready. "Mommy and Daddy love you so much already." I told Jay, talking to my tummy. "But daddy's gonna be your favorite." Michael jokes. "Oh whatever! It'll be just my luck that I carry this child for 9month and you're the favorite. He's gonna be a mommas boy though." I smirked. Michael playfully rolled his eyes. "I can see your belly shifting." He said. "He's moving a lot." I said feeling my stomach.

Jays nursery has been ready and we've got our hospital bag ready. I was nesting so bad and it's driving Michael nuts. Sometimes he has to go to work and when he comes home everything is reorganized. He can't find anything. "Again?! Are you serious Dre?!" Michael huffed. Looking through the kitchen drawers. "I can't help it!" I shouted. "Baby you gotta stop. You're driving me crazy." He laughed but was serious. "I'm nesting and have cabin fever. I want this baby out." I said frustrated. "Fine let's go out then baby." "I don't want to go anywhere." I groaned. "What do you want Dre?!" He said frustrated. I poked my bottom lip out, reaching my arms out, "you." I said softly. He melted. He sighed but couldn't help but smile. He embraced me. "Let's have a movie night." He suggested. I nodded. "You drive me crazy but I love every minute of it." He said. "Now that's a lie." I laughed. He shrugged, "I wouldn't want anyone else driving me this crazy." He said kissing me. "Ugh stop. You're gonna make me cry." I said kissing him back then I felt this strong contraction. I groaned gripping Michaels arm. It lasted for a couple seconds and it was painful. "Dre are you okay?!" He asked concerned. "Y-yeah, that one really hurt." I groaned gripping my stomach as it faded. "Are you going into labor?" He asked. "I don't know. Let's wait." I said wanting to sit down.

He put a movie in and we sat there for about 10 minutes then I got another one. "Oh my god," I groaned crying. "Breath baby breath." He said. "Ouch ouch! This hurts." I cried as it started to fade away. "I think this is it." Michael said wiping the sweat off my forehead. "Let's wait. That was only two." I said getting up. I needed a drink of water. "Baby let me get it," he said. "No I want to get up and walk a little bit." I said. I got to the sink, getting water. I started to take a sip when another one hit strong, causing me to drop the glass and groan in pain. "Dre!" Michael shouted running to me. Im trying to not throw up honestly. That one was strong. "Okay okay we need to go." I cried getting through the pain.

Present

"Baby," I heard a voice say. I woke up rubbing my eyes. "What's up?" I said sitting up. He took a deep breath. "I need to get up." He said. "Let me get a nurse in here." I said pushing the button getting up. I stood by him as he sat up. He looked upset. "What's wrong baby?" I asked softly. He shook his head, "I really fucked up." He said with a crack in his voice. "Hey, it's going to be okay." I said holding his hand. "We're going to get through this." I promised him. He shook his head. "I failed you I failed Jay. I'm a horrible dad." He cried. I held him as he cried. "You're not a horrible dad, we're going to get through this. We got you baby." I told him with tear stained cheeks. "Dre?" Kim said. "Oh, hey. Sorry. He said he wants to get up." I said as Michael wipes his face. "Yeah let me get Christine and we will get him up." She smiled then leaving. I sat with him, holding his shaky hand. "Are you mad?" He asked. I shook my head. "Just scared. You really scared me Michael." I said. He didn't reply. "Hey," I said getting his attention. I motioned him towards me. I grabbed his chin kissing him. "I'm just happy I get to kiss my husband, I really thought there for a moment I'd never get to kiss you again, tell you I love you." I said.
