Chapter FourPresent.
I sat at the soundboard in the studio we had reserved watching Axel as he worked his magic on the drums. Though the Realm Studio provided us with a producer, I was meticulous about producing our music. I didn't want to work with songwriters or listen to tracks from other producers.
We were on the third take and Axel's sweat dripped down his face as he banged the wooden drumsticks. We'd been in the studio a week straight. We were trying to get as many studio sessions in as possible before Sally gave birth.
Axel had always been a whore who fucked anything that wanted a piece of him, but now he was about to be a father and he took that role seriously. He cleaned up his act, became faithful to Sally, and never looked at another girl. The guy who was willing to stick his dick in everything was now about to become a father.
I tried to push away my jealousy. He would get to experience the birth of his son, and he would be the first one to hold him. My thoughts spiraled to Lyra. I had her every other weekend, and two nights during the week I took her out for dinner. I cherished every second I spent with her.
Sarah and I hadn't really spoken one on one since the first time I met Lyra. Anytime I spoke to her it was via text message and it was only about Lyra. Sarah only had one simple rule: we were not to ask Lyra about each other's personal lives. Not that I had a personal life anymore. Nor did I want to know about their wedded bliss. My focus was music and my daughter, but there were times I wanted to ask Lyra if her mommy was really happy with Jeremy.
Why I cared? Who the fuck knows.
Maybe it was the fact that every time I dropped her off at their home, Jeremy stood tall, watching over them as if I was an outsider. Or maybe it was that I refused to let him have my family. I refused to go on any tours or do any shows that were for long periods of time. With Sally about to pop, we had the perfect excuse to take some time off, and I planned to spend that time with Lyra.
My Lyra, my sweet little princess. She was a character. A free spirit with a beautiful, loving heart. At almost four years old, she showed no hatred and loved all, not to mention, she had a passion for music. She was always dancing, singing, or tapping her hands to make some type of beat.
She was daddy's little girl.
Sarah's name appeared on the screen of Axel's phone. It stopped ringing and Sally's named appeared seconds later. I stopped the track and tapped on the glass, motioning for him to come out.
"Your phone's blowing up." I tossed it over to him when he opened the studio door. Axel called Sally back and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Everything all right?" I asked when he dropped the phone.
"She's having the baby." His hands gripped the sides of his hair. "The baby is coming. Oh my God, she's having the baby!" He began to hyperventilate.
"It's all right, man! It's going be okay." I pulled his hands away from his temples. "Why don't I drive you to the hospital so you don't miss this?"
"Bloody hell! I'm going to be a father." Axel looked up at me with wide eyes.
"Welcome to the club."

I patted his back. On the car ride over, Axel called the rest of the guys and Sally's mom, Suzanne, tapping his hands on his knees the entire time. His anxiety was causing me to panic.
I followed him toward the maternity wing. Pete was already in the waiting room slouching on a chair when we arrived. Axel rushed to the nurse's station.
