Shayne's POV

I have been in labor for 9 hours and this shit fucking hurts The only thing thats keeping me going is the fact that I'll get to see my son

I was laying in the hospital bed, trying to breathe through a contraction Michael was in a chair next to the bed, holding my hand

Michael: How was that one?

Shayne: Not as bad as the others

(He nodded and we sat there in silence for a while.)

Michael: Shay?

Shayne:(Looks at him) Hmm?

Michael: We need to fix this, for our son

(He put his hand on my belly and rubbed in a small circle.)

Shayne: Michael, I've been thinking and I do agree that we should try for him but I can't guarantee that its gonna work out

(He frowned slightly.)

Shayne: Im willing to try though

Michael:(Nods) I think thats really all I can ask of you at this point: To try

(I nodded and he brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it.)

Michael: I love you Shay

Shayne:(Hesitates) I love you too

Six Hours Later 9:46am

So far, Ive been in labor for 15 hours and Im dialated to 10 Dr. Wilkins walked in the room with her scrubs onDr.Wilkins: Are we ready to have a baby?

Shayne:(Breathing heavy) Beyond ready I want him out

Dr.Wilkins:(Laughs) Im sure you do Michael, go get changed Things are about to move kinda fast

(He nodded and a nurse handed him a pair of scrubs. He put them on and looked at me.)

Michael: You ready?

Shayne:(Nods) Yeah

(Dr.Wilkins put the stirrups by my feet and I put my feet on them, letting my legs fall open.)

Dr.Wilkins: Alright Shayne, when you feel the next contraction, I want you to push down into your bottom as hard as you can

Shayne: Ok

(I waited and I felt a contraction about to come. I pushed as hard as I could and I heard Michael counting to beside me. When he got to 10, I stopped pushing and threw my head back.)

Michael: You ok?

Shayne: It hurts

Michael: I know it hurts baby but you can do this

(I felt another contraction and pushed again. 45 minutes passed and I was still pushing. I was exhausted.)

Shayne:(Shakes head) I can't do it anymore

Dr.Wilkins: Shayne, he's coming down nicely A couple more pushes and he'll be in your arms

Michael: Shay, he's coming Just a little bit longer

(I nodded and he wiped the sweat off my forehead. Another contraction came and I pushed as hard as possible. I could literally feel his head coming out so I screamed loud as hell.)

Dr.Wilkins: I see the head He has a head full of hair

(I continued to push and I felt his little body come out of me. I stopped pushing and laid back onto the bed. I was laying there when I realized something: I didn't hear any crying. I opened my eyes to see one of the nurses rushing him out of the room.)

Shayne: Wait, where's she taking him? 

Dr.Wilkins: Well, you just delievered at 34 weeks We just wanna make sure he's completely developed

(She got up and walked out of the room. I looked at Michael.)

Shayne:(Tears up) Why wasn't he crying?

Michael: I don't know baby

(I busted out crying and Michael held me in his arms.)

30 Minutes Later

Me and Michael were sitting there, waiting to be able to see our son There was a small knock on the doorMichael: Come in

(The door opened and the same nurse who took the baby out walked in. She had a small baby in her arms.)

Nurse: Here's your son

(She gently handed him to me and I cradled him againist me. When I say that he was the most beautiful baby that Ive ever seen, Im not lying. He had a head full of jet back hair, and the most perfect caramel colored skin. I noticed that he was alittle of the small side but other that, he was amazing.)

Nurse: He's a little small but other than that, he's completely healthy

Michael: Thank you

(She nodded and walked out. Michael sat on the bed next to me and I moved over so that he could see our son. He ran his finger down his cheek.)

Michael: He's beautiful

Shayne: Isn't he? Look at those eyes

(His eyes were a light brown.)

Michael: He looks like my baby pictures

Shayne: He has your applehead too

Michael:(Laughs) Yeah, you're right What should we name him?

Shayne: He kinda looks like your grandfather, from that picture you showed me before What was his name?

Michael: Everyone called him Prince

Shayne: How about Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr?

(He looked at me with the widest smile on his face.)

Michael: I love it

(He kissed my forehead and then kissed Prince's forehead. We spent the rest of the day bonding with our son.)
