The Only Hope For Me Is...
When One Door Closes, Another Door Opens
~9 months later~
"Gerard, are you sure? There isn't any other way we can push through this?"
"You know how bad it's getting Ray. Frank can't even look at you or me, Mikey hasn't said anything in months, and you look like the epitome of yourself."
We were sitting in the studio office because Gerard called for 'an extra special meeting'. I've gotten better every since Christa's pregnancy, but Gerard hasn't said anything about himself. Our newest album is ready to release, but now it won't happen.
"We've put up with bullshit- not just you, our own bull- all for nothing. WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO NOW?!" Frank started screaming at the top of his lungs at Gerard. Nobody moved in fear of a fight, so mikey did something that shocked us all.
"We have to break up. For the good of our sanity."

I left as Gerard said he would write the news on the website. I finally turned on my phone to see +15 missed calls. They were all from Christa.
"Hey baby! I don't want to worry you it anything- you might just be in a meeting! But the baby's here and the guys took me to the hospital. Going into labor now, bye!"
She left only one message almost three hours ago. Mikey saw my look of pure fear and lead me to my car. The guys knew she was due any day now, so he headed to the hospital without me saying anything. What would you say if you found out your late to your wives labor?!
When I finally got over my freak out Mikey was leading me down the hall saying how she wasn't in labor just yet. "What?! So there's still time?! Where's her room?" He pointed to a door and I burst through, my adrenaline making me fearless.
"Took you long enough."
Shawn and Ariel were at the window probably looking out for me while Adam was at Christa's side. She was already in a hospital gown but no baby was around! Yes!
"Since your finally here,, you deal with the contractions. She almost broke all of our hands." I thought he was exaggerating until all of them began to show three purple fingers.
"Don't blame me, I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!" I laughed at her anger since it usually doesn't equal much. Before I could properly enter the room, she began to have another contraction and doctors were rushing in to help her muttering 'it's coming'. Everyone besides me was told to leave and I was given hospital scrubs to put on. When I went next to Christa to Hold her hand I REALIZED in mere minutes my son would be born. This overwhelmed me because next thing you know, I collapsed hearing Christa scream "REALLY RAY?!" and was tooken out of the room to wait.
~3 hours later~
"Which one of you is the father?"
A doctor comes out looking at all the guys waiting for Christa. I raised my hand and walked bank into the room to see Christa holding my son.
"Hey Isaac, wanna meet your daddy???" She ask our son in a cute baby voice then adds "course you do, if you didn't you'd cry." We both laughed as she handed little Isaac toro over into my arms. I looked into my son's brown eyes and had a realization: he would feel the way I felt before meeting Christa. Years of knowing there something missing, then finally getting it.
I looked over at Christa and smiled; he would die of joy if he finds love like his parents.
