Josie’s POV **
| sit forward in the bath, ready to get out and curl up in bed with my guys, but as | move | feel an odd pop in my
lower back. It takesa second to realise what it is as a sudden gush of warm water moves between my legs.
“I think my waters just broke,” | tell the guys.
The room falls deadly still and silent for a second before everyone moves at once. Mason liftsfrom the water
and carriesinto the bedroom with Theo running ahead of us to pull back the bed sheets.
“Everyone stay calm, no one panic,” Theo calls, sounding anything but calm.
“Someone call Dot and Art,” Mason says as he layson the bed with such tenderness that | want to cry again.
Axel rushes in with a towel, getting to work on dryingoff whilst | hear Deacon on the phone talking. I'm a
little dazed and shocked that this is happening, and the guys are all in a frenzied state of panic. Luke comes in
with a towel wrapped around his waist and puts on the calming labour playlist I'd put together in the last week.
Then they all go quiet as they look down atexpectantly.
“Well?” Theo asks.
“Well, what?” | ask.
“Aren’t you supposed to be like, screaming and pushing and stuff?” he frowns.
“I don’t think it happens that fast,” | laugh, and attempt to move, feeling a little on show right now.
“Someone geta torch, letsee what's happening,” Theo says attempting to push open my legs.
“Let’s wait for an actual doctor,” | laugh, batting his hands away, “can someone geta long T-shirt or
something, I'd rather not be completely naked when Art gets here,”
Someone lets out a small growl and | roll my eyes. Deacon helpssit up and Axel pulls off his T-shirt, before
pulling it over my head and | immediately feel less vulnerable.

rumbles and rushes to the bathroom with Theo close on his heel.
| scoot off of the bed to go and check on him but as | stand up more water leaks fromand this tit comes
with a dull pain low in my abdomen.
“Oh,” | breathe, gripping Deacon’s arm that is around me.
“Sit back on the bed,” Deacon says softly.
“No, I'm okay, it’s easing off,” | smile and walk towards the bathroom.
“I'm terrified, Theo, what if something bad happens to them? What if I'm a terrible father?” | hear Mason say and
my heart clenches.
“I've already told you, you are going to be a great father, now get your shit together and get back in there
because our girl needs you right now,” Theo tells him.
“We are all worried, Mace, it's normal,” Deacon says as we reach the bathroom door.
Mason's wide eyes move toand | see the fear there. He has his shields up tight but | don’t need them to
know how terrified he is. 1

“Chere,” | say softly, holding a hand out to him.
Mason takes my hand and steps closer to me. | place his hand over my bump and smile at him.
“I'm scared too, but between us all, | know we are going to get through this just fine. | just need you to be with
us right now. Let's take this one step at a time, okay?” | smile,
“Okay,” he nods.
| rest my head on his chest and screw my eyes closed, gripping his upper arms as another cramping pain begins.
“I'm sorry,” Mason whispers, his arms moving around me. He rests his head on top of mine, supportingthe
only way he can.
“The Calvery has arrived, where is she?” | hear Dot's cheerful voice call.
“In here,” Luke shouts.
“Aww, that’s a beautiful sight. | hope someone got a picture,” Dot says and | lift my head to look at her with
scowl. This is not the tfor pictures. “How are we doing, Sweetie? Can we get a look at you?” she asks.
I nod and walk slowly back to the bed with Mason and Deacon supporting me.
“Tell us what happened?” Art says with a friendly smile as he puts on sgloves.
“I felt a pop in my back and then a gush of water. I’ve had two contractions since then,” | explain.
“Any pain before that?” he asks.
“Yes,” | admit, “but nothing major,”
“What? Why didn’t you tell us?” Luke asks.
“Because | wasn’t sure what it was, it wasn’t bad,”
Art examinesand says I'm only four centimetres dilated. He leaves soon after, promising to be back as soon
as Dot calls him. Dot advisesto keep moving as much as possible to speed things along and then she goes
downstairs to make everyone stea and give us sprivacy. Deacon calls Freya and my mum to let them
know and then the guys start informing their families whilst Axel holdsagainst him. We sway softly to the
music as he murmurs how much he lovesand how well I'm doing.
Soon all my guys take turns swaying withand whispering words of encouragement through every
contraction. The room is peaceful and so full of love. It's perfect. When the contractions bectoo intense for
my hands and knees right now. Someone rubs my lower back as | tremble through another intense contraction.
“Does anyone else have a horribly confusing boner right now?” Theo whispers.
“Cnearwith that thing and I will bite it,” I growl.
“Damn, Babe, that is not helping,” he groans.
I had asked for minimal medical intervention, with just Art and Dot on standby if | needed them but as soon as

“You are doing great, Josie, on your next contraction you are going to push with everything you have, don’t stop
until I tell you,” Art says.
“You've got this, Beauty,” Axel says, leaning down to kiss thy sweaty head before holding my leg up how Art
shows him.
Deacon takes my other leg and Theo and Luke each take one of my hands. My heart sinks when | don’t see
Mason, but then | feel him move behind me, helpingsit up slightly and I lean against his chest. His hands are
on my shoulders and he squeezes them gently.
