I was scrubbing the dishes when I heard the trickle of water.
"Lindsay?" I turn to look at her.
She was looking down in a panic, tears filling her eyes.
"Where are the boys?!" I yell.
"It's ok, Emmie. I promise. We got this." Jenny says.
She moves Lindsay upstairs into a bed, and grabs some towels.
"Lindsay, just stay calm, okay? We did this with Jared. I'm sure you'll make it. Just practice your breathing." Jenny says.
Lindsay breathes deep, and I hear the downstairs door slam.
"Gabe!" Lindsay yells.
Instead, Noah comes running up the stairs.
"I'll go get him. Lindsay, you're doing great honey!" He yells.
A few moments later, everybody is crowded into the room, including Jared.
Lindsay screams and pushes for a few hours until finally, we hear a cry.
Noah pulls out a baby, and I see Gabe smile.
"Lindsay... it's another boy." Noah says.
"Theodore.." she whispers, pulling him to her chest.
"Jared, this is your baby brother." Gabe says.
Jared looks down at him and giggles.
"He's small!" He says.
"His name is Theodore.. can you say that?" Jenny asks.
"Theo..." Jared says.
"Theo Wilcox." Gabe says.
"That'll be you with our boy, soon enough." Taylor whispers to me.
Lindsay passes Theo to me, and I stare down at him in wonder. Taylor holds me while I hold Theo.
Theo had Gabe's dark hair, and Lindsay's pretty green eyes. He looked so much like Jared, and I couldn't help but smile. I wondered what our baby would look like. I hoped he looked Taylor, but with my freckles and strawberry blonde hair.
