I'm going to make it so that the whole shooting thing was one May 14, 2007. No reason for that date. Just a random date. Remember, Emma's due in August, Ellie's due in October and Alex is due in June. This chapter will started on let's say, May 30? That's my birthday! So, it's Wednesday, May 30, 2007.


Hold Your Breath

Jay stepped into his house. It was full of close friends and family. He had come home today. He was excited about, too. He was happy to be home and out of the hospital. He felt great, like he had been giving a new reason to live. Emma was getting huge. Ellie was starting to show and Alex was about to pop.

"Unccy Jay!" Elizabeth pushed through the small crowd up people that formed around Jay. He was glad for the distraction.

"Hello, sweetie." He bent down and hugged her. The whole time he could feel a hand on his back. He looked up and saw it was Sean's, "Sean, I'm OK. I'm just bending over. I'm not picking her up."

"I know, man. I just worry, OK."

Jay reached up and pinched Sean's cheek, "Aw, Seany's worried about me!"

"Funny Jay."

Everyone said hi to Jay and some even brought gifts. Mainly baby stuff. Emma had announced after three hours that Jay needed rest. So, everyone said goodbye and left. Except for Manny, Ellie, Sean, Craig, Alex and Elizabeth, of course.

Alex was laying on the couch. J.T. was visiting someone in the State's so Emma had told Alex to stay with them and that it wasn't safe for her to be alone since she was so close to having the baby. Emma had set up the basement for her. It use to be Emma's room, so it wasn't too bad. Lately, Alex had just been laying on the couch, too tired to walk down the stairs.

"Hey, Lex. You feeling alright?"

She turned on her from the show she was watching, "Yeah. Just tired. I can hardly move. I can't wait to have this baby."

Jay sighed, "Pretty soon Emma is going to be the same."

Alex laughed, "Ha. Yeah. Then Ellie."

Jay left Alex to fell asleep after talking for a little bit. He went into the kitchen and sat down with his friends, and wife. He reached for Emma's hand and kissed it.

Craig looked at him, "So, Jay. How you feeling? Glad to be home?"

"I'm feeling great. Of course I'm glad to be home. Wouldn't you be? I can finally sleep with my wife again. Who I'm sure has just got use to sleeping alone, in the big bed with her and her big pregnant belly."

Emma stuck out her tongue, "Well, that's why I figured you could just sleep on the floor..."

"Funny, Em. Funny."

Manny got up, "I think we should be getting home. Elizabeth is already asleep," She pointed to the floor between the TV and the couch Alex was on. It looked like a big pile of blankets, but it was Elizabeth, sound asleep. Craig stood up and walked over to his daughter and picked her up. He walked back out to the kitchen and let everyone give her a kiss bye. Then they left.

Ellie looked at Sean, "We should get going, too. It's getting late."

It was almost midnight. Sean agreed and they said goodbye. They quietly closed the door so they wouldn't wake Alex. She jumped up anyways.

"Um...Emma? Jay?"

Emma was half way up the stairs and Jay was locking the door. Jay walked over, "Yeah?"

Alex looked down at her legs, "I think my water broke!"

Emma ran down the stairs as fast as she could, "Wow, everything in our life has bad timing! Everyone just left!" She laughed.

Alex sat up with the help of Jay. Emma told Jay to walk her to the bathroom. She followed behind them. They walked inside the bathroom and she told Jay to get out and call the hospital, then Manny and Ellie. He left and Emma closed the door.

"OK, this is going to sound weird. But, take off your clothes, except your bra. I won't look I promise."

Alex laughed and did as she was told, although it was very awkward because her PJ pants, underwear and the bottom of her t-shirt were soaked. Emma stayed turned around and handed Alex a wet towel to clean herself up a bit, and then a dry towel to dry herself. When she was done, Emma passed her a pair of Jay's boxers that were folder on top of the dryer that was in the bathroom.

"He won't mind. Plus, they'll be more comfortable than your underwear. Here, take a shirt, too." They both laughed too.

"Can you pass me my bathrobe?"

"Sure." Emma grabbed the dark purple bathrobe that was behind the door.

"Alright, I'm all cleaned up."

"OK, let's get you to the hospital!"

They walked out to see Jay cleaning the couch. He had grabbed Alex's bag that was full of clothes and baby stuff, "Ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."


OK, This chapter sucks. I think I liked it better when they were in high school and there was all the drama...I suck at this. I'm tired, though. So, I'm going to bed.
