Chapter 0226

**

Josie’s POV **

I sit forward in the bath, ready to get out and curl up in bed with my guys, but as I move I feel an odd pop in my lower back. It takes me a second to realise what it is as a sudden gush of warm water moves between my legs.

“I think my waters just broke,” I tell the guys.

The room falls deadly still and silent for a second before everyone moves at once. Mason lifts me from the water and carries me into the bedroom with Theo running ahead of us to pull back the bed sheets.

“Everyone stay calm, no one panic,” Theo calls, sounding anything but calm.

“Someone call Dot and Art,” Mason says as he lays me on the bed with such tenderness that I want to cry again.

Axel rushes in with a towel, getting to work on drying me off whilst I hear Deacon on the phone talking. I’m a little dazed and shocked that this is happening, and the guys are all in a frenzied state of panic. Luke comes in with a towel wrapped around his waist and puts on the calming labour playlist I’d put together in the last week. Then they all go quiet as they look down at me expectantly.

“Well?” Theo asks.

“Well, what?” I ask.

“Aren’t you supposed to be like, screaming and pushing and stuff?” he frowns.

“I don’t think it happens that fast,” I laugh, and attempt to move, feeling a little on show right now.

“Someone get me a torch, let me see what’s happening,” Theo says attempting to push open my legs.

“Let’s wait for an actual doctor,” I laugh, batting his hands away, “can someone get me a long T–shirt or something, I’d rather not be completely naked when Art gets here,”

Someone lets out a small growl and I roll my eyes. Deacon helps me sit up and Axel pulls off his T–shirt, before pulling it over my head and I immediately feel less vulnerable.
