Ricky's POV
I sat in the waiting room, waiting for some kind of doctor or nurse to tell me how Amy is. How could I do this to her? Because of me she's in the hospital, she's lying there scared to death. I hope she'll be alright, gosh how could I have let this happened? Ben came down the hallway carrying a bunch of flowers and a balloon. He immediately walked into the room and fainted. Obviously Amy had another contraction. Anne helped him up and he walked over to me.
"It's rough in there." He said
"Yeah, it's rough out here too." I said
"Don't beat yourself up too hard." Ben said.
"Too hard? Ben I'm going to be a dad." I said.
"Yeah and I'll be a stepdad. It's going to be alright." Ben said.
Yeah if he was the one responsible for Amy's pain he wouldn't feel that way. I have to deal with the guilt. I should do something for her… but what? All of a sudden I had an idea. I ran over to the hospital shop. I bought a teddy bear and a rose for her. I ran down to her room and walked in, she was staring at me.
"I brought you something?" I said.
"Is it a pain killer? Because thanks to you I feel pain, and a lot of it." She said angrily.
"I know and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said and sat down on the edge of her bed.
"Sorry won't take this baby out of me. Sorry won't undo the past. And sorry-"She started.
"OW OW OWWWW!" She screamed.
"Anne!" I shouted. I gave Amy my hand to squeeze, that's what Margaret said helps. She said it would help Amy feel better.
"Amy, are you alright?" Anne asked running into the room.
"Mom I don't want to do this. I can't do this I'm too young. " Amy said crying
"I'm sorry Amy. I really am." She said running her fingers through her daughters hair.
"I'll bring a doctor in, she'll see how much longer it'll be. Ricky you can wait with Ben until the doctor is done." Anne said.
"I'll see you later Amy." I said softly.
Adrienne walked in. She ran over to me, and looked nervous.
"Any news? Is the baby okay?" She asked.
"I don't know, Amy hasn't had the baby yet." I said.
"Still? It's been hours. Why don't you go home?" She asked.
"I'm going to wait to see my son, even if I have to wait all night." I said.
"Alright." She said and kissed me, it was awful. It was a long kiss; I just couldn't wait for it to end.
She walked out of the hospital and I sat down next to Ben.
"What happened?" He asked.
"She is in pain again and she got mad at me." I said.
"I don't blame her…" He mumbled.
"Look Ben I have enough stress and I don't think I can handle anymore! I don't need anything from you! I already know that I made a mistake alright!" I yelled.
"Mr. Underwood?" A nurse asked.
"Yeah that's me." I said and stood up.
"Well we're going to deliver the baby; once the baby is born you can come in." She said.
"Alright." I said and sat down. All I could do is wait.
It must have been three hours before a nurse came.
"Mr. Underwood, congratulations! You have a healthy baby boy. Amy's sleeping right now, but you can go in and wait until she wakes up." The nurse said smiling.
So I quietly walked into the room and sat down in a chair. About an hour passed and Amy started to wake up, she looked around and saw me.
"Hi." She said quietly.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" I asked.
"Sore and tired." She said laughing a little.
"We have a son." I said.
"Yeah, he's so cute Ricky, you should see him." She said smiling.
Amy pressed a button and the nurse came in, Amy asked to see her son. The nurse came in moments later carrying a baby wrapped in a soft blue blanket.
"Ashley named him John, John Jeurgens-Underwood." She said.
"I like it." I said.
"Here you can hold him." She said holding John out for me to take.
I held the baby so carefully, gosh he really was adorable. I saw Anne and George come into the room and they smiled. They walked back into the waiting room. Ben came in, so I sat down on the chair with John while they talked.
"Hello my angel." He said and kissed her.
"Hi Ben." She said smiling.
"How are you?" He asked.
"Better, now that you're here." She said.
"I just came to tell you that I have to go, I have a biology test tomorrow that I need to study for." He said.
"Oh." She said sadly.
"See ya." He said and blew a kiss to her.
She laid down in bed and looked at me and John. She smiled.
"I wish I had a camera, and then it'd be the perfect picture." She said.
"No, I probably look horrible; it's three in the morning I didn't sleep at all." I said.
"You didn't?" She asked.
"Nope, I had to 'keep watch' while Mr. Spoiled was sleeping." I said,
"Ben slept? This whole time?" She asked.
"Most of it, there were moments where he didn't sleep." I told her.
"Oh." She said again sadly.
"Adrienne stopped by; she wanted to know how the baby was. At the time he wasn't born." I said.
"That was nice of her." She said smiling.
I didn't think that she stopped by for the baby though. She's been so overprotective since she realized that I'm going to be with Amy a lot more. I really was getting sick of it. Before I knew it Amy had fallen asleep, of course I stayed with her. I looked at John. So much love for someone you just met.
About an hour later Amy woke up. She looked around. She gave me a puzzled look and smiled.
"You're still here?" She asked.
"Yeah, I've been here. You know, you don't move that much when you sleep, occasionally you turn on your side." I said laughing.
"You spend an hour with your son and you discover what I do when I sleep?" She said smiling.
"Go back to bed, you need rest." I said, so she did. She turned onto her side and slept.
I had a son! I couldn't believe it, this was so exciting. He was so tiny too, his little hands and feet, and his beautiful eyes. I had a son, we had a son. He was ours, and boy was he adorable.
