Chapter Six: Six Weeks Later
"I'm okay John. Go ahead and do the house show tomorrow and then come home after that."
"Are you sure hot stuff?"
"I feel anything but hot right now and yes, I'm sure." At that moment Randy felt something warm drip down his leg. "Oh my god!"
"Randy! What's going on? Talk to me!"
"My water just broke John." Randy said his voice barely above a whisper. "You have to come home now."
"I'll get there as soon as I can."
"Now John!"
"Alright. Call your mom and I'll see you at the hospital." By the time John arrived at the hospital Randy had been in labor for almost three hours and was in a foul mood
"I'm here Ran."
"No shit, John, I see you standing there!"
"Are you in any pain?"
"What do you think? My insides are contracting and there's a human trying to escape from my body!"
"We should have adopted." John mumbled or so he thought
"The fuck did you just say?"
"Nothing Randy."
"I heard you John Felix and I just want you to know that I will never give birth to another one of your children. You unappreciative prick!" John sighed
"I'm sorry Randy. I shouldn't have said that and you know that I didn't mean it."
"Shut up John." John turned and took one of the nurses to the side
"How much longer is he going to be like this?"
"We can get started as soon as you get into a set of scrubs…if you still want to be here for the delivery."
"I have to be here. He would literally kill me if I wasn't."
"Randy, you're going to feel some tugging, okay?"
"Yea. I'm scared John."
"Don't be scared babe; I'm right here with you." Before they knew it the room was filled with cries and for once it wasn't Randy…well he wasn't making the most noise. John peeked around the sheet to look at his daughter
"How is she John?"
"Loud and covered in goo but otherwise very beautiful."
"I'm so happy John and I'm sorry about all that mean stuff I said to you earlier."
"It's fine Randy. I'm sure you'll just say something mean later and it will totally negate this apology."
"I love you."
"I love you too my little fudge-pop."
"Ow, John do not make me laugh, please."
"I'm sorry." After he was stitched and cleaned up Randy was taken to his suite and princess Lily was brought in to them
"Let me hold her John."
"I don't want to let her go yet." John said placing a soft kiss on her forehead
"Baby hog." John laughed
"She's so cute."
"I wouldn't know since I've haven't really seen her." John rolled his eyes and got up from the chair
"Here she is your majesty."
"I like the sound of that. Call me Your Majesty from now on."
"That's not going to happen." John said taking a seat on the bed
"Are you staying with me tonight?"
"Of course. How do you feel?"
"Extremely sore."
"Aw my poor baby. Do you want me to see if they can get you something for the pain?"
"No. They've already given me some Tylenol 3. I really just need to get some sleep."
"Go to sleep then."
"I want to feed her first then I can go to sleep." The nurse walks in with a bottle and John intercepted it before it was handed to Randy
"I will feed her and you will go to sleep. You're no good to Lily if you're a zombie."
"Fine." Randy got as comfortable as he could and watched John feed Lily as he drifted off to sleep. The next morning John woke up and saw Randy upright and feeding their baby
"Good morning." Randy looked over and smiled
"She has your eyes and at least one dimple." John couldn't help but smile
"Does she?"
"Yes."
"Did she smile while I was asleep?"
"Yea, well sort of. You didn't miss an actual smile."
"When will you two get to go home?"
"I'm not sure yet, why?"
"I want to drive you home but I have to go back to work in a day or two so they can properly write me out of the show." Randy nodded. "Please don't start to cry Ran."
"I'm trying not to but I really have no control over it." He sniffs. "Or else I would stop myself every time so you could stop teasing me."
"I'm sorry but it's just so easy" He laughs
"Ow, Ow, don't make me laugh John."
"My apologies."
Two Days Later
John had driven Randy and Lily home earlier that afternoon before he received the call that he needed to be on a flight at 9:15 that night. He dreaded having to tell Randy
"Hey."
"Hi."
"Um,"
"When do you have to go back?"
"They booked my flight for later on tonight."
"Okay."
"I'm,"
"Don't say that you're sorry John. You have nothing to be sorry for. Besides, you're going to come back to us pretty soon. I'll tell Lily not to do anything cute until you get back." John smiled
"Thanks for being so understanding…I really didn't expect it from you."
"John." At 7:45 John's alarm sounded and he shut it off quickly as not to wake a sleeping Randy and Lily. He trudged over to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. With that done he slipped out of the room shutting the door behind him and made his way downstairs to an awaiting town car. He made it safely to the airport and boarded the plane and after taking his seat he checks his phone:
RKO-C: so you just leave without saying a word
Johnny: I had to. If you guys had been awake I would have missed my flight. I didn't want to leave
RKO-C: alright. Lily and I will see you when you get back, big daddy
Johnny: haha – love you and kiss lily for me
RKO-C: of course. Love you Johnny
