Dear Winter

Chapter 7

@ajrbrothers tweeted: Sorry to let all you Indiana fans down but our show in Indianapolis tonight has been postponed until January 2022 refunds will be issued to those who request them sorry for the inconvenience

The retweets and replies were already rolling in some people were mad but most were just throwing around rumor and speculation about Rileigh being in labor

*skip the airport and flight*

6 hours and 15 minutes later I'm running breathlessly into the hospital

"Ri- Rileigh Laouer" I said as I ran to the desk

"Are you Jack Metzger?" The secretary asked

"Y-yes"

"6th floor room 624" she said "she's pretty far along last I heard about an hour ago she's almost 10cm"

I took off sprinting to the elevator leaving my brothers in the dust

Ryan P.O.V

Jack took off running leaving Adam and I to talk to the secretary

"And you two are?" She asked

"Ryan and Adam Metzger we're the uncles" I chuckled as she gave us directions to the 6th floor waiting room

Rileigh P.O.V

"You're ready to push Rileigh" the nurse said

"N-no not until Jack gets here" I said between breaths

"Well he'd better hurry because this baby is coming now wether his daddy is here or not" she said suddenly a breathless Jack burst through the door "just in time"

"Ri" he sighed as he walked to my bedside picking up my hand squeezing it "you've got this" he whispered looking into my eyes while kissing my knuckles

*20 minutes later*

"Come on one more good push mama" the doctor said

"I- I can't" I stuttered out of breath and in the most pain I've ever been in

"Look at me Rileigh" Jack said I looked over locking eyes with him "you are the strongest woman I know you can do this, one more push and you get to meet your little boy... our little boy Rileigh you've got this " with that I gave all my strength to push one more time and our little boys cries filled the room "Ri you did it" he said kissing my forehead As the nurse wrapped him in a blanket placing him on my chest

"What's his name?" She asked We looked at eachother knowing we were absolutely thinking the same thing

"Winter Evan Metzger" I smiled

"I love that name it's so unique" she said writing it on a tiny hospital bracelet "how did you come up with it?"

"He and his brothers wrote a song called Dear Winter a few years ago and he fell in love with the name" I said pointing to Jack "and he shares a middle name with his dad as well" Jack smiled kissing my cheek

"I love you Babygirl you did so good" he said

"You guys are so cute how long have you been together?" The nurse asked

"Well we've been friends for 16 years..." I started trying to add up how long we've been a couple "we were together for 2 years after we graduated highschool got engaged at 20, due to have our first baby that year, broke up 6 months later after losing our first baby, we were spilt up for 4 years and 9 months ago we got back together and are now once again engaged and now we have our perfect little rainbow baby" I smiled

"Childhood friends?" She smiled

"Yup my family moved in next door to his when we were 8, he hit me in the back of the head with a kickball on accident and 16 years later he's the love of my life" I smiled looking at Jack

"That's adorable" she said handing Winter back to me "this chunky boy here is 9lbs 2.5oz 22inches long"

I could help but stare in awe at the perfect little boy in my arms "he's perfect" I said finally letting tears of joy flow freely down my cheeks "Jack..." I said looking up locking eyes with him and as if he could read my thoughts

"I know baby girl, I know" he smiled "it's gonna be hard to think about but guess what he's here now and his brother or sister hugged him and talked to him long before we did"

"I just wish we could've known them"

"I know baby but we've got Winter now" he sighed "and I love you both so much that I can't even form the words to describe it" he stood up kissing my forehead before bending down and doing the same to Winter them asking the nurse to take a picture of us all together which was then posted across all his social media the notifications started rolling in on my phone as I'd been tagged in all the posts:

@jackajrbrothers: Say hello to the newest Metzger boy, Winter Evan born early early this morning 6/24/21

@ajrbrothers: There's a new Metzger boy, everyone day hello to Winter.

"This is absolutely the best day of my life" I smiled down at Winter sleeping peacefully in my arms everything is falling into place and I couldn't be happier.
