The guys were in the studio working on a new single.  Justin was willing to put forth the extra effort being as he was going to have a baby to care for.  He was in the sound booth when Chris walked in.  He stuck his head in and talked to the others briefly before walking right up to Justin.  He calmly put his hand on his arm.  Justin looked at him them removed his headset.              “You really need to keep you cell phone with you.” Chris said taking a hold of his arm.  “Why?” Justin asked confused.  “Because you need to come with me you’re having a baby.” Chris explained.  “What now?” Justin asked running to get his coat.  “Yes, now, Bailey is on her way to the hospital as we speak.” Chris said waiting at the door for him.  “I’m sorry you guys.” Chris said turning to the others.  “No you guys go, call us when it’s here.” JC said waving the two out the door.            They rushed to the hospital, which to Justin was the longest car ride he had been on in his life.  When they arrived Bailey had just been taken to the delivery room.  They guys rushed to her side.  “Chris it hurts.” Bailey said as Chris took her hand.  “I know it does, but it will all be worth it.” Chris said kissing her on the fore head.  “It’s about that time dad.” The doctor said moving Justin out of the way a little so she could check.            “Is she okay, it everything okay?’ Justin asked standing on the other side of Bailey.  She held his hand too.  “Everything is fine, it won’t be long now.  Would you like anyone to leave?” The doctor asked looking at Bailey.  “No, they’re both staying whether they want to or not.” Bailey explained just before another pain contraction hit.  She squeezed both of their hands.  “I need to push.” Bailey screamed.            “Not yet, just a little longer.” The doctor explained.  “Is this normal?” Chris asked.  “It’ perfectly normal.” The doctor said checking her again.  “It’s almost time, our baby is almost here.” Justin said.  She smiled at him.  “Our baby, I like that.” Bailey said.  “Not to take you away from Justin, I know this is a special time for you both, but I’ve been thinking about all the talks we had about me being the baby’s step-father, I think I might like that, if I asked you would you say yes?” Chris asked.  Bailey smiled and then kissed him.  “In a heartbeat.” She managed to get out before it began to hurt again.  Chris smiled and talked her through another contraction.              “Congratulations you two.” Justin said sweetly.   “Let’s get through this first and then we’ll celebrate.” Chris said.  “Okay, it’s time, you guys ready to deliver this baby?” The doctor asked.  “I’m ready.” Justin said.  “Justin I’m scared.” Bailey said.  “It’s okay, I’m here with you and so is Chris.  We’re not leaving until this baby is born.” Justin said looking over at Chris.  It was nice to have him there.            Everything after that happened so fast then next thing they knew they heard the doctor say.  “It’s a girl.”  “A Girl, Justin we have a daughter.” Bailey sounding weak and out of breath.  “I want to hold her; I want to hold my baby.” She added reaching for it.  The doctor smiled and handed it to her.  “She’s beautiful you guys.” Chris said eyeing the new born baby in his fiancé's arms.  “Yes, she is.  She must get it from her mother.” Justin replied with a smile.              “So what’s her name?” Chris asked.  “Melody.” Justin said with a smile.  “I like that.” Chris said.  Bailey held her for a few minutes, and then they took her away to clean her off a bit.  When they brought her back Bailey, she turned to Justin.  “Here you hold her.” She said.  “No, I can’t I might hurt her.” Justin said quickly.  “You won’t hurt her, you’re her daddy.  She wants you.” Bailey said placing the tiny infant in his arms.  Justin looked at her; she seemed so small and precious in his strong arms.  “I almost made the biggest mistake of my life.  I almost missed out on this.” Justin said looking up at Bailey about to cry.  “I know Justin, but you didn’t.  Your here, that’s all that matters.” Bailey said softly.  “Your here and she knows it.” Chris added.            “That’s right daddy is here and he will always be here.” Justin said.  He got up and walked around the bed to Chris.  “It’s your turn to hold her.” Justin said offering him the baby.  “It’s not really my place.” Chris protested.  “You love her don’t you?” Justin asked nodding to Bailey.  “With all my heart.” Chris replied.  “Then it is your place.” Justin said setting the baby in his arms.  Chris looked at the baby then at Bailey.            “You have to admit for as crazy and mixed up as this is, it feels right.” Chris commented in regards to their situation.  “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Bailey said confidently.  “Me either.” Justin chimed in.              Bailey spent the night in the hospital and was later released with her baby.  Things were odd at first and the media was dying to see the pop stars baby, but they kept her out of the spot light.  Later that year Chris and Bailey were married and Justin was the man of honor.  They had joint custody of their daughter, which they had agreed on before she was even born.   Justin understood and respected Chris as being the step-father to his child.  A few years later Justin was pleased when he found out the Bailey was expecting again.  Melody would have a sibling which later turned out to be plural, as they were expecting twins, a boy and a girl.              Chris was pleased and nervous about the new arrivals.  But Justin offered him some comforting words.  When Chris asked Justin if he thought he would make a good father, Justin replied that, “He shouldn’t have to ask whether or not he was going to be a good father, after all he had enough faith in him that he trust him with his own child.” The end
