Chapter 66

Closing my eyes as the plane hit the run way I quickly undid my seat belt. Of course he had a private jet money sure did talk.

"Wait until the plane stops babe" Nate muttered stopping me from over stepping him. I was itching to get out of this plane and straight to the hospital. My mom was 4 centimetres dilated and my dad was freaking out. Apparently she wasn't having this baby until I was by her side.

Once the plane had finally stopped I rushed out of it and straight into the car Nate promised would be there.

"Straight to the hospital Shane" Nate ordered as the car sped out of the airport. Staring out the car window I was in a little world of my own. My mom was having her baby early and if anything went wrong it would be my fault.

"How you feeling?" Nate asked

"Honestly I have no idea how I'm feeling if anything happens to this baby it will be my fault. I should never have spoke to her the way I did, should never have got her so worried or worked up".

"You can't blame yourself baby it will eat away at you if you do. Trust me I know what it's like to live with guilt".

Pulling up outside the hospital I grabbed a hold of Nate's hand. "I think it's better if I go in by myself" I whispered eyeing the amount of bikes I could see parked outside one in particular. "If that's what you want"

"Of course it's not but I don't want to cause an argument when my moms in labour. Blaze is in there Nate and if he see's you with me he'll go crazy and my dad doesn't need that right now not when his child's about to be born".

"I thought he didn't have any hold over you?" He asked his knuckles turning white with how hard he was clenching his fists.

"I don't have time for this" Leaning closer I placed a kiss on his cheek. "I'll phone you tonight?".

No answer

Rushing into the hospital I made my way towards the maternity ward. Pushing through the double doors my eyes landed on Tommy who immediately got to his feet as soon as he noticed me. "You better get in there sweetheart".

"How are you all in here?" I asked

"He better be in there with her" I snapped my eyes quickly scanning over the room.

"Arrgggghhhhhh you bastard"....

Shit!

Rushing through the ward I went and changed into some overalls. Taking a deep breath I pushed my way into the room.

"Look Ava's here" My dad bit out.

"Ava, Ava baby I'm sorry" She cried gripping onto my dads hand tighter.

"How far dilated is she Stacey?" I asked walking closer to the bed and taking her other hand in mine. She was only 4 centimetres an hour again so surely she can't be much more so she really shouldn't be pushing.

"9 centimetres Ava. Come on Aubrey give me another big push". Stacey chanted as she stood at the bottom of the bed.

"How can she be when she was only 4 an hour ago?" I asked panicked.

"My mistake I can't text with these big fingers" My dad sighed causing me to laugh. Holy god and these two were going to be parents again.

"Stop fucking laughing.. arrggghhhh! You did this to me you fucking asshole" My mom screamed crushing my hand and my dads at the same time.

"Jesus" I screamed. There is no way I'm ever having a baby. I think my mom just broke my hand.

"Come on Aubrey one more big push"....

Leighton Frances Mendez born at 16. 12pm weighing 9lb5.

"He's beautiful" I whispered to my dad. My mom was away to theatre getting stitched and cleaned up.

"He looks exactly like you did" My dad smiled holding Leighton tightly against his chest. "What's going on with you and your mom?" He asked placing Leighton in my arms as he stood from his chair. I didn't want to talk about it especially not now. My mom had only given birth an hour ago and I wasn't getting into it with my dad.

"It's not the time" I whispered staring down at my little brothers face. I can't believe I was a big sister at 24. "I'm going for a smoke and to let the boys know it's a boy". He grinned placing a kiss on his tiny little fore head.

One day he would become one of those boys.

Holding him tightly in my arms I couldn't take my eyes off his little face. He was absolutely perfect and I was so proud of my mom.

"It suits you"

Snapping out of my thoughts I looked away from Leighton and my eyes connected with Blaze. "He's so tiny" I whispered as Blaze made his was towards us. Leaning forward he placed a soft kiss on his forehead before producing a Devils Due knitted hat from his pocket and removing the one he had on his head.

"Really?" I asked rolling my eyes as he slipped the hat onto his head.

"Welcome to the world brother". Taking the seat my dad was occupying before he couldn't take his eyes of my brother.

"Could you hold him for a second?" I asked

"No thanks darlin' I'm fine looking at him from here".

"Please Blaze I need to use the bathroom" I whispered putting my focus back onto the little bundle of joy in my arms. How could someone be so tiny and precious? Once he was asleep again I placed him in his little cot. "Can you just stay here I'll only be a few minutes?" I asked.

Giving me a simple nod I smiled at him before leaving the room. I wanted to know how he got home so quick and why he hadn't said anything to me. Maybe he realised now wasn't the time to chew my ear off because I knew it was coming it always did.

"Congratulations big sis" Ally squealed pulling me into a hug. "I can't wait to meet him. How are you doing? I had no idea you'd get here so quick".

"Thank you" I grinned walking into the staff toilets Ally following closely behind me. "He's so precious Ally and tiny, he's just adorable". I couldn't help the happiness I felt inside. Who knew a baby being born could change the atmosphere so quickly. "How's my mom doing?".

"She's out cold" She smiled leaning against the sink as I went about my business. "So are you back for good now?" Ally asked as I exited the cubical and went to wash my hands. I sure hope I was back for good.
