A Love I Can't Erase

Andy was eight months into it and the fans had begun to catch on at about four and a half. Andy had typically avoided the media for a while, but he found himself going out while he still could. He went to the movies, ate at nice restaurants when he wasn't sick, and even went to the beach to watch Ashley surf and look all around gorgeous as he did.

That is what Andy happened to be doing at the moment he felt the contraction. It was only his body preparing him for what was to come in about a month. At least that is what the OB/GYN had said. Still, it hurt, but it wasn't that bad. He had, after all, shattered three ribs and broken his face before. He knew real pain, and he knew it would arrive in a months time.

Ashley walked onto the beach, board under his arm and hair soaked, and sat down on a towel beside his lovely boyfriend.

"How are ya feeling, Ands?" Ashley asked.

"The contractions have gotten stronger and more frequent, but other than that, perfect." Andy smiled up at his boyfriend.

Ashley furrowed his brows. "Does that mean the baby is almost ready?"

"Yes, she only has about a month left, ya know." Andy leaned his head on Ashley's shoulder and breathed in his salty smell.

"She?"

"Yeah, I feel like our baby is a she." Andy sighed.

"How do you know?"

"I just do, I guess. I don't know."

"Well, let's get you home, love. We need you well rested when the time comes." Ashley helped Andy up and walked beside him with one arm around Andy's waist.

ONE MONTH HAS PASSED! BABE IS SO DUE!

Andy bent over in pain and gasped his way through.

"Ashley." He groaned out.

Ashley shifted awake and rolled over to look at the pain stricken Andy.

"I think it's time!"

Ashley was immediately awake and hustling to call everyone he needed to.

Jinxx answered the phone groggily. "Dude, you know it is literally two a.m. right?"

"Andy. Baby. Now." Ashley hung up and dialed the next numbers and followed the same procedure as he dashed around looking for his keys and Andy's medical bag.

"ASHLEY!" Andy screamed in a hoarse tone.

"Coming, coming, coming!" Ashley dashed to the bedroom and lifted Andy as best as he could and carried him quickly to the car. Andy's water broke on the way. Ashley's arm was covered in it, but he had no time to be grossed out. He had to move.

Ashley got him as secured as possible and dashed to his side of the car and was off quickly. He drove over the speed limit, but didn't have his hazards on, so he got pulled over.

"You do know you were speeding?" The officer asked.

"Babies due." Ashley said shortly. The officer looked in and saw Andy leaned over and panting as another contraction took him over. The officer quickly nodded.

"I'll escort you, sir." And the officer rushed back to his patrol car and took off.

"I'm going to kill you for this, Ashley!" Andy groaned. The contraction eased for a moment. "I'm sorry, baby, I love you." Then another one took his body. "FUUU-"

"We are almost there, darling, almost there." Ashley chanted to Andy as he drove.
