Two years ago, Taylor Harkey and Luke Hemmings's relationship crumbled. Taylor was offered a job, making her move from Los Angeles to Orlando. They simply stopped talking. Then Taylor found out she was pregnant.... but she never told Luke. Two years...
"Jesus Christ" I muttered, grabbing my lower stomach. All night I've been having sharp pains, almost like contractions. I slowly got out of the bed without waking Luke and walked downstairs to the kitchen. I found a glass and got some water then sat down at the table,
"Sweetheart" I heard, making me jump. I turned and saw Liz walking in,
"Sorry if I woke you" I apologized,
"Oh you didn't" she assured and took a seat, "Are you okay?"
"I've just been having sharp pains" I waved it off,
"Like contractions?"
"Not exactly. Kind of, but not really"
"Well make sure we keep count of them and keep time. We need to so we know if we need to take you to the hospital"
I nodded and sipped my water. I really want to be in LA when I have this baby, not here. I knew coming might be bad.
I stood and washed my cup then turned to Liz,
"I'm going to try and sleep some more. Thank you" I smiled,
"Of course honey. Let me know if you need anything"
I nodded and headed back upstairs, on the mission to go back to bed but my son's voice stopped me,
"Hi baby" I knelt down to his height the best I could, "What's wrong?"
He sniffled and held his blanket to his chest,
"Scary dream" he mumbled. I smiled softly and kissed his head,
"You want to come to sleep with me and Daddy?"
He nodded and I stood. Carter grabbed my hand and followed me back to Luke's childhood room. Luke was still asleep and stayed asleep as Carter climbed up and cuddled up next to him. I got in bed with them and pulled the blankets up, hissing slightly as my stomach cramped.

I stayed in bed most of the day. Carter stayed with me. He wasn't feeling the best either, but I think because of the traveling his body clock is all flustered.
Luke was freaking out. He was asking me every 20 minutes if we needed to go to the hospital. I finally got Liz to calm him down.
It was about time for Carter and me to head to the venue with Liz and Andy. Luke had left earlier.
"I can't wait to see Daddy" Carter cheered as we walked out the door and got in the car, dressed in his black jeans, 5SOS shirt, and converse,
"Yeah? You like watching him sing?" Liz smiled back,
"Mhm" Carter nodded, "Sometimes he takes me up there too"
"Starting you early" Andy laughed,
"Maybe when sissy is bigger, like four like me, Daddy will take her up there too"
"Maybe"
****
We got to the venue and were given passes then headed to the dressing room. Carter ran straight to Luke when he saw him. Luke happily lifted him up and kissed his cheeks,
"Hi baby" he smiled and pecked my lips, "How are you feeling?"
"Okay. It's kinda going away now. Every now and then there's a little pain" I nodded and hugged him,
"Pull me off stage if anything happens please"
"I will"
"Okay boys! Stage time" their manager came in. The boys all nodded and started grabbing instruments then we all headed to side stage.
Right before Luke went on, he kissed my lips then knelt down to Carter. They did their handshake and gave cheek kisses then Luke ran out on stage.
****
Watching Luke on stage always makes me smile, but watching Carter watching his dad with so much excitement makes my heart swell. Carter admires Luke. He will stand on the side and copy everything Luke does.
When the boys got around to singing Talk Fast, Luke came and got Carter, taking him up on stage,
"Say hi Car" Luke spoke and gave Carter the microphone,
"Hi" Carter giggled,
"You wanna help us sing Talk Fast Car?" Michael asked. Carter nodded and Luke put him on his feet. Luke grabbed a guitar and a microphone was given to Carter and they started the song.
Just as Carter came back to me, the pain in my stomach started up,
"I'm going to go sit in the back room. Can you keep an eye on Car?" I asked Andy. He nodded and I headed back with Liz and Anne on my tail.
"You okay honey?" Liz asked. I nodded,
"It's Braxton-Hicks contractions. I had them for weeks before I had Carter"
"Is she okay?" Luke ran into the room,
"I'm fine baby. Calm down"

< Monday >
Luke and I decided to get up early and go out just the two of us. That way we can have some time together but Carter also gets time alone with his grandparents.
Luke and I walked into a restaurant and were seated on the outdoor patio. Our waitress came fairly fast and got our order, leaving Luke and me to wait.
"I got us an early flight back" Luke spoke up,
"Why?" I questioned,
"Tay, I know you're miserable. You're 32 weeks pregnant. I know you just want to be at home preparing for baby girl"
"Thanks Luke"
He smiled and nodded as the waitress came with our food. Luke was going hard on his. I pulled my phone out at the best time, getting the best picture to post,

"I hate you" Luke mumbled,
"No you don't" I rolled my eyes,
"Yeah yeah I guess you're right" Luke chuckled, "I love you a whole lot"
