Together Burning Bright

Oliver Reid Biersack was born on February 17th 2016 at 4:22 AM. He came in weighing seven pounds, four ounces and was the quietest baby any of the nurses had ever seen.

Andy stood over the bed, the tears in his eyes threatening to spill down his cheeks as he looked down at his son. His little scrunched up face was red and he was currently staring at them all with serious grey eyes. Dess had been in labor for three hours-much better compared to the ten she had gone through with Arabella and finally their son had come in to the world. Andy had been there when her water had broken, on the side of the road somewhere in Utah and they had called an ambulance. The show for that night had been cancelled and while Andy felt terrible about it, nothing could be done. He had yet to hold Oliver because while he was an experienced daddy at this point, there was something that terrified him.

With Arabella, he could just be a daddy and let Dess be the female role model-Arabella would look to her mother for guidance growing up. But Oliver-a boy-well he was going to look to Andy and that fact terrified him. What if he screwed it up? What if his son turned out to be a wild person who got girls pregnant? Andy ran a hand through his long black bangs, pushing it out of his eyes as he stared down at Odessa. She looked exhausted, but happy as she held their son in her tattooed arms. Looking down at her, Andy couldn’t help but smile as he thought about how calmly she had told him that the time had come.

He had been sitting in the front of the bus, Arabella in his arms, asleep, and he had been thinking of crawling into bed himself. Ashley was the only other one awake and the two of them had been talking about working on some new songs. Andy felt someone touch his shoulder and as he turned around, he noticed that Dess was smirking at him strangely and holding her legs apart. The front of her long sleep pants were wet and Andy knew his eyes must have been like saucers when he realized what was going on. He immediately made her sit down and then he went and got Jon.

The ambulance had shown up quick enough and as they loaded Dess into the back of it, Andy asked Ashley if he and the guys would keep an eye on Aria. Of course they would and with that Andy and Dess were rushed to the hospital. Things moved quickly after that and after three hours of pushing, screaming and cursing-baby Oliver came crying in to the world. The thing was-that was it for his crying. The nurses were amazed at how peaceful he was and so was Andy. Arabella cried for a good hour when she had been born and ever since then her mouth had been open in one way or another.


“He’s so beautiful…” Dess said quietly and as Andy looked towards his son, he had to admit that this little guy was precious. His little mouth was peacefully pursed, his grey eyes opening and closing and he kind of looked like a grumpy little bird. Andy wondered silently if Oliver was going to take after his mother.

“He is. How are you feeling babe?” Andy asked as he ran a hand through the soft peach fuzz on top of Oliver’s head and then pressed a kiss to Dess’.

“Tired, but relieved that it’s over. Andy?” She was looking at him now, her moss green eyes playful and tired. Andy smirked as his blue eyes connected with hers and he cleared his throat.

“Yeah babe?” He asked and Dess only smiled as she pressed her lips against his, tugging on his lips ring with her teeth before pulling away and getting serious.

“Lets not do this again for awhile, okay?” She laughed then and Andy only nodded as he sat down on the edge of the bed and placed a hand on top of Oliver’s head.


It had been a shock to them both when Dess had found out she was pregnant so soon after having Arabella, but Andy had been thrilled none the less. He loved the idea of having a big family-being an only child himself, he had missed out on having siblings. But Dess had been right-it was very soon after having Arabella and the new parents were still trying to get the hang of things. The small girl-almost two now-would soon be considered a toddler and there were things that needed to happen. Potty training being the biggest thing, but Dess had wanted to start her on some small reading programs to get an early jump. They were in for a long road, but Andy had faith that they would make it through.

Now here they were, a family and as Andy looked down at his wife and his new born son, he knew this was what he had been meant to do in his life. He had spent so long helping others get through their problems-which he loved doing and he always would-but now it was time for him to help his own family. Arabella was already showing an interest in music-piano seemed to be her instrument of choice and Andy knew that his son was going to grow to be a rocker just like himself. Andy bent down, placing a soft kiss against Oliver’s head and the small family stayed in silent bliss until someone knocked on the door.


“Hey Biersack family!” Someone said and as Andy looked up he smiled. Ashley had shown up with Arabella and the rest of the guys. The small girl was currently asleep in CC’s arms and Andy smiled as his bandmates and brothers walked in to the room.

“How’re you feeling Dess?” Jinxx asked as he walked over to the side of the bed and looked down on the tired looking mother. She had her blonde hair piled on top of her head and her moss green eyes were blurry and her makeup smudged.

“Good, do you guys want to meet your nephew?” Dess asked and she laughed as all of the guys nodded their heads and Ashley clapped Andy on the shoulder. None of them knew if Andy and Dess were having a boy or a girl-a close guarded secret.

“A boy?! Congrats man!” Jake said as he clapped the singer on the shoulder. He knew what it was like to be a father now, having a new son of his own and there was nothing like it in the world.

“This is Oliver Reid Biersack.” Andy said as he took Oliver from Dess’ arms and passed the small bundle over to Ashley. The bassist took the boy into his arms, smiling down as the small baby scrunched his nose and then fell back to sleep.

“How does it feel having a son?” Jinxx asked and Andy took a moment to think it over. He was nervous about the whole thing, having someone who would completely look up to him in every way. Andy smiled as he turned to his bandmates and smirked.

“Nerve wracking, but I’m happy to finally have a boy to pass on the Biersack name.” They all laughed and Dess watched as Aria stirred in CC’s arms, rubbing her eyes with her tiny hands as she opened them and looked around.

“Oh yeah, because you loved your last name when you were a teenager…Little Andy Six…”CC asked and the room erupted into laughter, even Dess couldn’t help but crack a smile at her husband’s old nickname.Arabella had climbed down from CC’s arms and was currently trying to get in to bed with Andy and Dess.

“Up mommy! Up!” She giggled and Dess only smiled as Andy bent down and picked the small girl up. She was still in her Minnie Mouse jammies, her blonde hair sticking up in every direction just like her mother’s.


The baby was passed around from person to person until finally Oliver made it back to his mother. Dess smiled as she watched Arabella’s face get excited, her eyes getting wide just like Andy’s as she looked down at her new baby brother. She reached out a hand and Andy leaned in, watching his daughter carefully as she touched her brother’s head very gently. Dess smiled, she remembered seeing Moira for the first time-remembered being mesmerized by the tiny baby as she slept in her mother’s arms. That fascination only lasted until Dess was ten and Moira was five-then the two girls fought like cats and dogs.

Dess had loved Moira, but the girl’s constant need to always be around Dess got irritating. When Beth and Kit would come over to hang out in Dess’ room, Moira had to be there too. The girls would spend hours swooning over their crushes like Benji Madden and Gerard Way, but all Moira wanted to talk about was Justin Timberlake and singers like him. Finally as the girls got in to their teenage years, they had learned to love one another and appreciate their relationship.

Watching Aria touch her baby brother very softly and with care, made Dess hopeful that things could be different. She and Andy would teach Arabella how to take care of the little guy and even though the girl was less than two years old, they both knew she would take on the challenge. Aria was just like her father-she loved challenges and Dess knew she could use that to her advantage. As the girl kept patting Oliver on the head gently, Dess smiled and looked over at Andy. Their little family was growing and they both knew that this was going to be one crazy adventure.


“Aunty Kit is here!” Someone called from the doorway and as Dess looked up a wave of relief swept over her. Kit, in all of her red haired, big chested glory, was standing in the doorway of the hospital room.

“Kitty!” Aria yelled and soon enough the little girl was up from the bed and running towards her beloved Aunt. Kit smiled as she got down on her knees and brought the tiny girl into her arms-it had been six months since she had seen the little rugrat and she didn’t know she had gotten so big.

“Bells-you have grown so big!” Kit laughed as she picked the tiny girl up and kissed her rosy cheek. The little girl blushed and threw her arms around Kit’s neck, hugging her tightly.

“Big Bell!” The girl laughed and Kit only nodded her head, her green eyes wide as she approached the side of the bed and looked down. A tiny baby with peach fuzz on it’s head was sleeping in Dess’ arms and her best friend looked exhausted.

“So who is this?” Kit asked as she reached out a hand and softly ran her fingers over the tiny head that was poking out of the blue and pink blanket.

“Kit this is Oliver Reid.” Dess said and Kit’s eyes had grown wide. Another Biersack in the world-possibly another little Andy running around and Kit didn’t know how she felt about that. Aria was the embodiment of her father, but her adorable face and tiny stature somehow made up for it.

“Dess he’s so wonderful…” Kit said as she ran her fingers over the tiny head and then looked over towards Andy. The singer looked kind of scared as he looked down at his son, his black bangs hanging in his blue eyes and Kit couldn’t help but feel amused.

“Yeah…yeah he is.” There was such a look of love in Dess’ eyes that Kit felt her own heart swell.


The red head looked around the room and as her green eyes locked with a pair of brown ones, Kit couldn’t keep the smile from her lips. She had been living in LA and while she had missed Dess, there were other things going on in her life that all but made up for it. Kit had found someone-the someone-and finally she felt like she could have a family of her own. As the small group sat around, passing Baby Oliver back and forth like he was a sack of potatoes, Kit couldn’t help but feel at peace.

They were in some random hospital in Utah and when she had gotten the call that Dess was going in to labor, Kit had gotten on the first plane out. She had been there for Arabella’s birth and while she had loved holding that little girl in her arms for the first time, Kit was glad that Dess had had Andy with her through the whole process. Dess and Andy were currently staring at one another, lovingly and Kit couldn’t help but feel jealous.

She had someone in her life now, but that love would never compare to the love that Andy and Dess obviously had for one another. It was like they had been made for one another and Kit knew that this little family would always be together-they had to be.

Notes

Baby Oliver! Before anyone asks-I did NOT name him after the singer from Bring Me The Horizon. Good band, but I've loved that names for a long time. So now there are two Biersack kids-Arabella and Oliver. Jake is also married and has a son named Henry, Jinxx is with someone, CC is with someone and Ashley of course still has his mystery woman. All is well in the Black Veil Brides world.
