I'll always come back to you, the sequel

"are you sure?" he asked as he looked back over to the road. i shrugged, "i dont know.." i said as he chuckled, "i dont want to but i know this baby would want to know her dad you know?" i asked as i leaned my head against the cold window. "that just wouldnt be fair to her to not have that bond.." i spoke as he nodded. i looked in the back seat to see the other boys had fallen asleep.

i let out a deep breath as the baby pushed against me a little.

"you okay?" he asked as his eyes looked down to my belly and back to the road, "yeah shes okay.. just grumpy" i spoke for her as i rubbed the right side of my stomach trying to get her to move a little.

"whats holding you back from telling him?" zane asked, us talking quieter now because of everyone else asleep. "a bunch of things," i shrugged and continued, "like im afraid he wont want anything to do with her..or me.. or he will hate me more than he already does.. im afraid his career would be ruined. its so so messy.." i spoke and looked over to zane. you could see all over his face he was in deep thought.

"it is indeed messy. but, if i was david and someone came to me and told me i was going to have a baby girl, all other messes wouldnt matter. that baby is the only thing that matters in your world anymore, you have put everything else aside. your main focus has been the baby. i think he would do the same.." zane spoke as i developed some comfort in his words.

"jason told me not to tell him.." i spoke as his eyes widened and he looked over at me dropping his mouth into an o.

"what in the hell do you mean?" zane asked and i nodded, "yeah" i spoke as he shook his head in disbelief.

"why? why would he even- i mean.. that is davids best friend so maybe he was just looking out for him and you and elena i think you should tell david. you guys dont have to be together to raise her. but she does deserve the right to have double the love from her mommy and daddy" he spoke as i sighed.

"i know" i whispered and looked back down to my stomach that i swear just grows by the second.

we arrived to the first city meeting up with everyone. i gave gentle hugs to the girls as they ran their hands all over my stomach.

"how are you feeling?" mariah asked as i smiled at her and nodded, "shes been grumpy in the car ride but were good" i spoke as scotty chuckled, "just like her mom, always grumpy" he winked pulling his arm over kristen and we all made our ways into the hotel.

zane and heath sat around in the room discussing plans for tomorrow.

"i think we should definitely do this" heath spoke to zane showing him something on his phone. i plopped down on the bed and sat criss-cross and leaned back on my hands exposing my stomach just that much more. i listened to the boys talk and lots of laughs were shared through the night.

we decided since the boys had a big day we should go to sleep. although, sleep doesnt last long when youre pregnant.

i groaned standing up in pain and wobbled over to the bathroom to pee for the hundredth time tonight. i sat down slowly on the toilet pushing into my stomach slightly, "come on baby please move off my bladder" i whispered to her.

i had just happened to look down when panic set in, blood. there was bleeding.

"oh no oh no.." i began to shake. i got up quickly grabbing my phone and going out into the hotel hallway and called my doctor.

"hi elena is everything okay?" she asked into the phone. my hands were shaky as i was pacing slightly, "um i dont-i dont know theres bleeding." i stuttered into the phone as her words came through the phone.

"okay im sure its nothing too serious, go ahead find the nearest hospital and get there quickly, have them fax me the paper work quickly" i responded okay and made my way into the room and shook zane awake.

"elena? whats wrong?" he yawned as he noticed quick something was wrong.

"i-theres bleeding, can you take me to the hospital?!" i sobbed slightly. tears poured out of my eyes from the pain and from being scared. zane jumped up pulling clothes over him and he wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked to the car. he sent everyone a text in our groupchat informing them.

we rushed to the hospital.

"i feel like im going to pass out..." i whispered as i saw the lights of the hospital in a short distance away and with that came darkness with the calls of zane yelling my name filling my ears.

----------------------

i came back too as i noticed i was being pushed on a cart with a mask over my mouth. zane was running along side of me as i reached for his hand.

"baby its gonna be okay im right here" he said as i moved the mask off my face.

"call... call david" i said as we left him past the area he couldnt pass. i closed my eyes and was taken into a room.

hundreds of tests and ultra sounds had been taken, finally when it was all calmed down it was just a doctor and i sitting in a room as it was quiet looking at the screen. i was too scared to look afraid of what could come.

"okay, theres your baby.." she spoke pointing to the baby girl lighting up the screen.

"and here is.....her heart beat" she spoke as the sound of the duh-dup filled the room. i let out a breath i didnt know i was holding in and relaxed when i noticed she was okay.

"so then what was wrong?" i asked as she cleaned my stomach up, "as of right now all were seeing is you stressed yourself out too much, it was your bodys way of saying hey you can hurt the squish inside you" she spoke as i giggled sitting up but she pushed me back down slightlu.

"oh no you are on bed rest for the next couple of weeks to make sure you dont stress out, we will keep you over night here to make sure nothing else happens" she spoke as i nodded, the transport team came in and took me to my room.

zane had immediately followed in already being told the news.

"im tired" i whispered as he rubbed his hand across my forehead, "go to sleep.." zane soothed me as my eyes fluttered shut holding his hand

-------

the sun was peaking through the windows, i was so exhausted from last night i wasnt ready to open my eyes. i felt a squeeze on my hand, remembering zane was here.

after a few moments of silence i heard a couple sniffles, why was zane crying?

my eyes fluttered open to a sight i didnt imagine ever seeing again. his head was sitting back in the seat as his hand held onto mine tightly.

his eyes were puffy, he had been crying. he was dressed in pj pants and a hoodie and his hair was sticking in every direction.

he opened his eyes looking over at the tv that was playing

i finally built up the courage to speak, "david?"
