Serena was two months now. Dean had finished moving their things in at their house in Nashville with Mark and Seth's help. Roman as well, when he didn't have to work. He was finding it harder to get time off since making vice president of editing. Nala was three months and Sabrina was a few days passed her due date. Everyone was in Nashville to see the house. They were in their backyard so the kids could run around.
"I am so done. Taylor, you need to come out. Mommy needs you to come out", Sabrina said.
The girls laughed as she rubbed her bump.
"He's nice and cozy in there. Let him stay", Kathan said, rubbing her friend's bump.
Sabrina glared at her.
"Then you carry him", she said.
"I know, you are the only one of us who isn't pregnant", Serena said.
"We want to wait till Alaura starts school. I love my babies but having them all in the house at the same time will drive me crazy", Kathan said.
They laughed.
"Is there anything I can do to get this kid to come out?", Sabrina whined.
"I heard spicy food works", Serena said.
"Or sex", Nala pitched.
Sabrina raised a brow.
"We could try that, but I doubt he would want to touch me. He won't want to hurt Taylor", Sabrina said.
"It won't hurt him", Kathan said.
"Tell him that. I've practically had to hump his leg throughout this pregnancy to get some sex out of him", Sabrina said, rolling her eyes.
The girls laughed.
"I'm being serious. I even got him buzzed a bit to get him to agree", she said.
"Brina", her sister gasped.
"Hey, once he got going he didn't want to stop. That was a good night", Sabrina said remembering.
Dean was chasing Alaura, she would fall into the grass and laugh at her uncle. Her legs were still wobbly, but she never gave up. Finally he picked her up and took her over to the other guys.
"Man, you are more than ready for daddy duty", Roman said.
Dean smiled.
"I hope your right", he said.
"Of course you are. You've taken care of Rome's kids since they were born. You know what to do. You've got this", Seth said.
"Do you know what you want to have?", Mark asked.
"I honestly don't care. As long as my kid is healthy and happy", he said.
Seth nudged Roman.
"Do you know what you guys are having?", Seth asked.
Roman nodded with a smile.
"A baby girl", he said.
"Told you, pay up", Dean said to Seth.
Seth sighed and handed over the fifty dollars. Roman and Mark laughed.
"Seriously?", Roman asked.
"You can bet on my kid, shit, I am", Dean said.
The guys laughed.
"Oh shit", they heard from behind them.
All the men stood and walked over. Worried for their pregnant wives.
"That hurt so bad", Sabrina said, pressing her hand into her back.
"Looks like Taylor is ready to come", Kathan said.
"Really? Like, now, now?", Seth asked, panic on his face.
He was ready to be a dad, but now that his son was ready to make his entrance, it freaked him out. Roman and Mark squeezed their friend's shoulders.
"Yeah, that was us too. Don't worry, you won't be feeling like that for long", Roman said.
"As soon as you seem him, the only feeling running through you, will be love", Mark said.
Seth nodded. He trusted his friends and knew they made a point. They have been through this before. Seeing as her contractions were still too far apart, they were still at home.
"Are you sure?", Seth asked worried.
"Yes, they will just send her home till they are closer together", Kathan said.
Seth nodded and let his wife squeeze his hand. He kissed the side of her head.
"Just a little longer. Then we'll be holding him and kissing him, telling him how much we love him", Seth whispered to his wife.
She smiled.
"You'll stay with me the entire time, right?", she asked.
"Of course, where do you think I would go? I am not missing my son coming into this world. I've waited too long for this moment", he said.
She smiled and he kissed her.
"You are doing great, mi amor", he whispered.
Dean was holding Serena between his legs. His hands on her barely there bump.
"I know your sister is in pain right now, but I can't wait to be in that position", he whispered to her.
She smiled.
"Me too", she replied.
He kissed her cheek.
Roman went to check on his wife, he didn't need her stressing out over this.
"You ok?", he asked.
Nala nodded. She touched his cheek gently. After what happened with the twins, Roman was always making sure she wasn't stressed or too excited. His hand rubbed her bump.
"How's my baby girl?", he asked.
"She's fine", she replied.
He nodded and bent down. Kissing her bump.
Finally Sabrina's contraction were closer together. Mark and Kaye drove them to the hospital, leaving behind everyone else to take care of the kids. Serena wanted to go with her sister, but Sabrina was worried it would be too much for her sister, especially pregnant.
"Babe, you have too push", Seth said.
"I can't", Sabrina cried and shook her head no.
He kissed the side of her head.
"You have too baby, he's almost here", he said.
"One more big push Sabrina", the doctor said.
She shook her head no. Seth made her look at him.
"We didn't come this far for you to give up. I vowed to support you and push you when needed and right now, I need you to freaking push. Please, for Taylor", he said.
She cried and nodded. He kissed her forehead.
"Thank you, now on three. One. Two. Three", he said.
She pushed and they both heard their son's first cry. Sabrina laid back and took deep breaths.
"Do you hear him? You did that, mi amor. Thank you", he whispered to her.
She smiled and he kissed her. They laid the baby on his mom's chest and he tried to open his eyes.
"Hi Taylor", Sabrina said to her son.
Seth took his little hand.
"Better than I imagined", Seth said.
Sabrina nodded. She couldn't agree more with her husband.
"Hi little man, I'm your daddy", Seth said.
Seth walked out to the waiting room. Sabrina's mom and dad were finally here. They tried to get here sooner, but their flights were delayed. He hugged them both.
"So?", Kathan asked.
"He's perfect. A good amout of hair on his head and I couldn't be more in love with him.", Seth said smiling.
"Can I see them?", her mom asked.
"Oh yeah, room two fifteen", he said.
She nodded and Robert followed after her. His mom and dad following them.
"Welcome to the dad club", Mark said.
"Man, is it too soon to say I want another one", Seth said.
Mark and Kaye laughed softly.
"Trust me man, enjoy him now because they grow like weeds", Mark said.
"Oh I am", Seth said.
Mark had called the rest of their friends and told them. They would switch with them so they could come and see Sabrina and the baby while Mark and Kaye watched the kids. Serena held her nephew.
"Hi Taylor, you are so cute little guy", Serena said.
Dean touched his cheek gently.
"You did good Sabrina. Oh and you too Seth, I guess", Dean said.
They laughed. Serena handed the baby to Nala.
"Man, look at all that hair", Roman said, gently running his fingers through it.
"I guess that's the only thing he got from you Seth, because this baby boy is all Sabrina", Nala said.
"And I am perfectly ok with that", Seth said.
A few weeks later, Serena felt the sudden urge to get up. Feeling something wet on her legs, she reached down and pulled her hand out. Blood. She shook Dean awake and he sat up.
"What's up?", he asked worried, till he saw the blood.
He quickly got up and grabbed the baby bag in case. He helped her out to the car they took her back right away. He knew he couldn't call Seth. He had his newborn to worry about. Mark and Kathan had taken the girls to New Orleans to see her brother and kids.
"Hello", Roman asked.
The sun was just coming up in Nashville. Roman should be up getting ready for work. Dean started crying.
"Dean, what's wrong? Are you ok? Is Serena ok?", his friend asked.
"What's wrong?", he heard Nala asked her husband.
"I don't know, he's crying", Roman said to her.
Nala grabbed her phone and called Seth.
"Dean, talk to me man. You're scaring me", Roman said.
Seth answered on the second ring.
"Hey Nala", Seth whispered.
"Hey, I think something is wrong with Dean. He just called Roman, he's on the phone with him now. Don't say anything to Sabrina.", Nala said.
"Give me a second", Seth said to her.
He set the phone down and went to their bedroom. His wife was feeding their son.
"I have to go to the store to get some food. Want anything?", he asked.
"Not really", she said.
He nodded.
"I'll be back in a few", he said.
She nodded. He grabbed his phone and keys before leaving.
"Is he at home?", Seth asked.
"No, the hospital. Serena, she, she lost the baby", Nala cried.
Dean had just finished telling Roman what the doctor told him.
"I'm coming Dean, ok. Seth will be there in a few minutes", Roman said.
He hung up with his friend and called work. Telling them he had an emergency to take care of. Nala called the kids school and told them they would be out today. They found the first flight out to their friends. Nala took a deep breath.
"Please calm down", he whispered to her.
She nodded.
Seth comforted Dean as best he could. The doctor walked over to Dean.
"You can see her when you want", he said.
Dean nodded and stood. He looked at Seth.
"You should go home. Sabrina needs you", Dean said.
"But what about you?", he asked.
"Roman and Nala will be here soon. I'm sure they told Mark and Kathan what happened. They'll be here too", Dean said.
Seth nodded and hugged his friend once more before leaving. He hated leaving him here, but he had Sabrina and Taylor. Which reminded him that he would have to tell Brina what happened to her sister. Dean walked into the room, his wife was crying. He laid on the bed behind her. Wrapping his arms around her.
"I am so sorry my love", he whispered.
She took his arms and wrapped them around her tighter. He almost thought she would push him away, but she didn't.
"I love you, Rena", he whispered.
She continued to cry till Roman and Nala arrived. Leaving the twins in the waiting room with a nurse who said she could watch them. Nala hugged Serena and cried with her. Roman held onto Dean who again, broke down.
Seth had just finished telling Sabrina what happened. She was trying to get out of bed.
"Stop, Brina. You can't. I know you want to be there for her, but Taylor needs you right now. You know what the nurse said, stress will cause your milk to stop. You need to calm down", Seth said.
"She needs me", Sabrina cried.
"I know, trust me I know", he said.
He wrapped his arms around his wife as she cried.
"They were so excited", she said against his chest.
He kissed the top of her head.
"Roman and Nala texted me. They are with them now. Mark and Kathan should be here in a few hours. Your sister will understand why you couldn't be there", Seth sad.
"Tell Nala that when Serena is ready, I want to call to talk to her. At least, I just need to hear her voice", Sabrina said.
Seth nodded and did as his wife asked. An hour later, Nala was calling them. Sabrina answered.
"Nala", Sabrina said.
"No, its me", her sister said.
"I am so sorry Rena", Sabrina said.
"What did I do?", her sister asked.
"Nothing. You did nothing wrong", Sabrina said.
Seth was rocking Taylor.
"You can't blame yourself, these things just happen and I am so sorry that it happened to you. You don't deserve this and neither does Dean. No one does.", Sabrina said.
"How's Taylor?", she asked.
"Fine, Seth is rocking him to sleep", Sabrina said.
"I'm not mad at you Brina. I know why you can't be here. I would rather you be there with him, he needs you more", Serena said.
"As soon as I can, I will go and visit you", Sabrina said.
"I love you", Serena said.
"I love you too Rena", Sabrina said.
"You think Dean hates me?", she asked.
"Of course not, Dean loves you and knows this wasn't your fault.", Sabrina said.
Sabrina looked at Seth and he nodded. Taking his phone out and texting Dean about what Serena said. He replied back that he would talk to her and thanked him for telling him.
After their friends left. Dean laid beside his wife. She gave him a small smile.
"I love you, Rena", he whispered, taking her hand and kissing it.
"Even after I lost our baby?", she asked, a tear slipping.
"I love you so much more now, this will make us stronger and we can get through this together. I don't hate you for this or blame you. The doctor told me that these things happen. No matter what we would have done, it wouldn't have stopped this. We will have kids, when you are ready to try again, we will", he said.
"You sure?", she asked.
He tilted her head just a bit and kissed her.
"I'm sure", he replied against her lips.
"I love you too", she said.
She laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around him. He did the same to her. Kissing the top of her head.
