The Big Mistake
By Neko
Part 7
The guys were in the studio working on a new single. Justin was willing
to put forth the extra effort being as he was going to have a baby to
care for. He was in the sound booth when Chris walked in. He stuck his
head in and talked to the other briefly before walking right up to Justin.
He calmly put his hand on his arm. Justin looked at him them removed
his headset.
“You really need to keep you cell phone with you.” Chris
said taking a hold of his arm. “Why?” Justin asked confused.
“Because you need to come with me your having a baby.” Chris
explained. “What now?” Justin asked running to get his coat.
“Yes, now, Bailey is on her way to the hospital as we speak.”
Chris said waiting at the door for him. “I’m sorry you guys.”
Chris said turning to the others. “No you guys go, call us when
it’s here.” JC said waving the two out the door.
They rushed to the hospital, which to Justin was the longest car ride
he had been on in his life. When they arrived Bailey had just been taken
to the delivery room. They guys rushed to her side. “Chris it
hurts.” Bailey said as Chris took her hand. “I know it does,
but it will all be worth it.” Chris said kissing her on the fore
head. “It’s about that time dad.” The doctor said
moving Justin out of the way a little so she could check.
“Is she okay, it everything okay?’ Justin asked standing
on the other side of Bailey. She held his hand too. “Everything
is fine, it won’t be long now. Would you like anyone to leave?”
The doctor asked looking at Bailey. “No, their both staying whether
they want to or not.” Bailey explained just before another pain
contraction hit. She squeezed both of their hands. “I need to
push.” Bailey screamed.
“Not yet, just a little longer.” The doctor explained. “Is
this normal?” Chris asked. “It’ perfectly normal.”
The doctor said checking her again. “It’s almost time, our
baby is almost here.” Justin said. She smiled at him. “Our
baby, I like that.” Bailey said. “Not to take you away from
Justin, I know this is a special time for you both, but I’ve been
thinking about all the talks we had about me being the baby’s
step-father, I think I might like that, if I asked you would you say
yes?” Chris asked. Bailey smiled and then kissed him. “In
a heart beat.” She managed to get out before it began to hurt
again. Chris smiled and talked her through another contraction.
“Congratulations you two.” Justin said sweetly. “Let’s
get through this first and then we’ll celebrate.” Chris
said. “Okay, it’s time, you guys ready to deliver this baby?”
The doctor asked. “I’m ready.” Justin said. “Justin
I’m scared.” Bailey said. “It’s okay, I’m
here with you and so is Chris. We’re not leaving until this baby
is born.” Justin said looking over at Chris. It was nice to have
him there.
Everything after that happened so fast then next thing they knew they
heard the doctor say. “it’s a girl.” “A Girl,
Justin we have a daughter.” Bailey sounding weak and out of breath.
“I want to hold her, I want to hold my baby.” She added
reaching for it. The doctor smiled and handed it to her. “She’s
beautiful you guys.” Chris said eyeing the new born baby in his
fiancé's arms. “Yes, she is. She must get it from her mother.”
Justin replied with a smile.
“So what’s her name?” Chris asked. “Melody.”
Justin said with a smile. “I like that.” Chris said. Bailey
held her for a few minutes, then they took her away to clean her off
a bit. When they brought her back Bailey, she turned to Justin. “Here
you hold her.” She said. “No, I can’t I might hurt
her.” Justin said quickly. “You won’t hurt her, your
her daddy. She wants you.” Bailey said placing the tiny infant
in his arms. Justin looked at her, she seemed so small and precious
in his strong arms. “I almost made the biggest mistake of my life.
I almost missed out on this.” Justin said looking up at Bailey
about to cry. “I know Justin, but you didn’t. Your here,
that’s all that matters.” Bailey said softly. “Your
here and she knows it.” Chris added.
“That’s right daddy is here and he will always be here.”
Justin said. He got up and walked around the bed to Chris. “It’s
your turn to hold her.” Justin said offering him the baby. “It’s
not really my place.” Chris protested. “You love her don’t
you?” Justin asked nodding to Bailey. “With all my heart.”
Chris replied. “Then it is your place.” Justin said setting
the baby in his arms. Chris looked at the baby then at Bailey.
“You have to admit for as crazy and mixed up this this, it feels
right.” Chris comments in regards to their situation. “I
wouldn’t have it any other way.” Bailey said confidently.
“Me either.” Justin chimed in.
Bailey spent the night in the hospital and was later released with her
baby. Things were odd at first and the media was dying to see the pop
stars baby, but they kept her out of the spot light. Later that year
Chris and Bailey were married and Justin was the man of honor. They
had joint custody of their daughter, which they had agreed on before
she was even born. Justin understood and respected Chris as being the
step-father to his child. A few years later Justin was pleased when
he found out the Bailey was expecting again. Melody would have a sibling
which later turned out to be plural, as they were expecting twins, a
boy and a girl.
Chris was pleased and nervous about the new arrivals. But Justin offered
him some comforting words. When Chris asked Justin if he thought he
would make a good father, Justin replied that, “He shouldn’t
have to ask weather or not her was going to be a good father, after
all he had enough faith in him that he trust him with his own child.”
