Oh hi! :lol:

They don't want to destroy Castor's life. Not even I would be that mean! :lol: (I'll just destroy Francesca's life instead!)

Sorry for the break in writing, I've had the flu this past week. Back to it very soon! :heart:

August 2nd 2018

James and I threw a sending off party for Castor and Lilly at home in L.A. Our baby was now four days overdue and James watched me like a hawk. I had stayed downstairs for as much of the party as I could when finally I went to bed at 1am. I wasn’t myself, I was tired beyond belief and ready to have my baby. The timing of the party was unavoidable, Castor and Lilly were leaving for Dallas that following weekend and it would be less than a month until Castor and Lilly’s baby son would be due. James had given them his blessing with a heartfelt speech in front of Castor’s friends. The realisation for James that Castor was really leaving for Dallas was beginning to sink in. He helped me into bed as the party continued downstairs.

‘I won’t be long’ he promised. I knew he wanted as much time with Castor as he could get before our baby arrived. I nodded, accepting his warm kiss and falling quickly into a deep sleep. I felt the weight shift in our bed a few hours later, James had joined me. I felt a sharp pain in my pelvis and my heart leapt into a speedy rate. I rubbed by baby bump vigorously to dispel the pain. I felt urgently for James’ shoulder in the dark, knowing now for sure that I was going into labour at last.

‘James? Can you turn on the light please?’ I asked in a worried tone. He heard the desperation in my voice and his face registered mine in shock. His expression grew into a warm smile, knowing now that our baby was coming.

‘Shall we take you to the hospital?’ he asked kindly. His face was warm and emotional. I nodded, I remembered the pain of contractions from Anthony and I was frightened. I cried out as the pain began strongly, surging through my body. James’ face jumped in alarm. His hand reached out to feel my middle and the baby moved to his touch. His eyes widened in realisation—he knew it was time to move quickly.

‘Okay—I’ll get your stuff’ he reassured me. I watched him jump from bed to pull his own jeans and scramble to find his discarded shirt on the floor. He dressed me carefully and grabbed our pre-packed bag from the wardrobe. He gulped as he took a moment to look at me before helping me from bed.

‘I love you, Hannah’ he smiled nervously. He reached out a warm hand to take mine, and I held my baby bump nervously as I did, expecting the pain to increase. I steadied myself on my feet and James slipped his arm around my middle.

‘Do you want to bring Anthony along too?’ James asked gently. We made our way down the stairs together slowly. I was proud of him for keeping his composure, although I was sure he was terrified.

‘Yes, definitely’ I agreed.

‘Alright, I’ll get him up—let me walk you to the car first’ James directed.

His mind raced, he could hear Francesca’s voice in his head for some reason. James, please stay sober so you can drive me to the hospital, please! her voice begged his memory. He shook himself mentally, it frightened him how sudden Cali’s birth had been: he had driven Francesca to the hospital and their first baby girl had arrived just under an hour later. Castor had been even quicker, and James had been in the room to help deliver Marcella when she was born. His memories were flooding back.

My own experience having Anthony was coming back to me too. I had been alone when I had gone into labour: I had got myself a cab to the hospital and called Ray frantically. All the time while I waited for Ray to arrive, I had wondered how much our baby would look like James. Anthony, I was fairly sure, had been conceived one of the last times I had been with James shortly before I returned home to London. I had wickedly led Ray to believe Anthony was his son because I knew it would shatter my husband to know he was not. When Anthony was born it had been both Ray and I’s idea to call him James Anthony and we had both agreed he suited it. I had reassured Ray that Anthony had his nose and his eyes, but James’ pure blue coloured eyes and blonde hair were plain to see on Anthony. And now, as he grew, he was becoming more and more like James—I had even begun to see Castor’s likeness in him and frightening me even more, so had Francesca. I knew I couldn’t keep the secret from James much longer, even he had made a few sly comments that he was proud to see Hetfield traits in Anthony. Now with the impending birth of what was seemingly our first baby, he had to know that Anthony was in fact his son. The reality was that James and I already had a son; we had already begun our own family.

James returned quickly to the car just as he said he would with Anthony in his arms. The four year was in a deep sleep, and it was nearly 3am as James buckled him into his car seat. I had wanted Anthony to come with us as part of our family. Tonight, before our second baby arrived I wanted to tell James the truth about Anthony: he deserved to know.

No problem, I've been meaning to get back to writing this past week. So many things just took over. Anyway, lots of exciting developments to come.

How will James react? Indeed! :lol:

James drove as carefully as I had ever seen. Cedar-Sinai Hospital was not far, and the neon lights of lower west Hollywood were still lit. At 3am on a Saturday morning, the clubs and bars were overflowing, Castor and his friends were no doubt finishing their farewell in town. James checked on my expression with sideways glances as he drove. He was trying not to speed and he managed to keep a nervous but restrained mood.

‘Is everything feeling okay?’ he asked finally. I could tell he had been afraid to break my contained silence. I had been focusing on my breathing and keeping calm.

‘Yes, at the moment’ I smiled. James’ right hand reached out to smooth the baby. His face offered a proud nod and he swallowed hard, choking back a tear.

‘I can’t believe we’ve come so far’ he smiled emotionally. His tears fell from his eyes and he wiped them bravely as we arrived.

‘It’s been eight years since we met’ he reflected. I nodded, now I was feeling emotional. He parked the car and turned to me with a pause to remember the moment. Anthony’s small face slept on his shoulder in the back seat. His eyes cast a glance at him with a smile before he offered me a tender kiss.

‘You’re an amazing father to Anthony, James. I know you’ll be a fantastic father for this baby too!’ I admitted, my lip trembled; my eyes were running at my admission.

‘James…’I gulped. I wanted to tell him privately, I knew we would be known at the hospital and that we would barely get a moment together once my labour progressed. I wanted to tell him before our baby arrived. In the privacy of the car I took his hand in his lap and met his eyes with an honest stare. I turned my tears into a grin and he split a wide smile as we shared a loving gaze.

‘Castor’s gonna get a brother!’ James joked teasingly. ‘Nah, a sister I’m sure!’ he winked. I decided to try a confession.

‘Castor already has a brother’ I said calmly, testing James’ expression with my honesty. His eyes blinked for a moment as he released his seatbelt. He turned to face Anthony sleeping in the back seat. He paused for a second longer to take in my revelation.

‘He is….he is my son?’ James stammered. I could see from his eyes that I had not taken him by complete surprise, but my revelation was a definite triumph for him.

‘I have always hoped so much!’ he admitted, ‘but I never wanted to make you find out, I mean…I love being his daddy. Even if I wasn’t his biological dad, I still feel like I am!’ James wiped even more tears from his eyes with his sleeve. He took a deep breath to steady his thoughts, and as he did, I felt the baby moving again as another surge of pain overtook me. James saw me wince and knew it was time to get inside to the Emergency room. He lifted Anthony to his chest and carried him beside me. He stroked Anthony’s blonde hair with a silent thought.

‘I knew he had the Hetfield cowlick’ he joked. I grinned back, Anthony’s hair was as unruly as his father’s. James’ fingers combed Anthony’s hair in amazement. Our son roused as the noises around him of the emergency room made him wake.

‘Dad? Where are we?’ he asked James in a sleepy voice. James beamed at the first proper use of the word ‘Dad’. I smiled back at him, knowing how proud he was.

‘We’re at the hospital, your mom’s having a baby’ James pointed. I was already being monitored. My contractions were coming even faster now and I took the opportunity for an epidural, I’d not had one the first time.

‘Are you sure?’ James asked. ‘You won’t be able to push’ he pointed out. He was showing how much he knew about childbirth and I felt reassured having him here.

‘Yeah—I really want it this time. I had Anthony naturally and I’m not doing that again!’ I exclaimed.

Unlike arriving at the hospital for Anthony’s birth, I had not been alone. James did not leave my side for even a second. After only an hour I had already been transferred to a birthing suite, James was keen for it. I was so proud of him for advocating for me—he had urged the Doctor’s for privacy. In the busy emergency room we were being recognised just as he’d thought.

‘She’s close—15 minutes perhaps?’ the Doctor suggested. James nodded.

‘Do you want me to be involved?’ he asked. I knew he had helped deliver Marcella.

‘I think I’ll need you to help me’ I admitted. He nodded in understanding.

‘I’ll sit right here’ he offered with a determined voice. He took my hand as I gritted my teeth through the pain. I shouted loudly and his face turned pale in alarm.

‘Jesus—isn’t the epidural working yet?’ he asked. I was so glad he had done this before.

‘It’s starting to kick in, but I can still fucking feel it!’ I screamed again with another sharp contraction. Anthony’s small face was terrified at my screams.

‘Mummy?’ he asked in concern. James lifted him onto his knee.

‘Very soon, you will have a new brother or sister’ James whispered. I smiled at my son as much as I could. Anthony’s face turned to a grin.

‘I want a sister!’ he said proudly.

‘You do? Me too—I want a sister for you as well’ James grinned. I knew that he did.

'The baby will have the same birthday as you, James' I smiled. It was nearly 5am on August 3rd. He yawned, not realising how tired he was until now.

'Happy birthday' I kissed him warmly.

The doctor prepared me to push and James took my hand tightly like we might soon arm wrestle. I faced James’ blue eyes with a weak smile, I wasn’t sure that I could do this. I remembered the pain from natural childbirth. I pushed as best as I could until my efforts were futile from the epidural.

‘You’re doing great Mrs Hetfield’ the midwife assured me. I gulped at the name; James’ eye had caught mine with a grin as she made the mistake. James held my bent leg at the back of my thigh in assistance.

‘You’re nearly there, Hannah’ he promised.

‘We can see the head now’ James narrated. I nodded in fright, this was almost over. I made a final shout, a tense push as best I could and a long exhaling groan. I felt an enormous relief as I heard my baby's cry, a first breath in the new world. The doctor congratulated me and joined me at my side, smoothing my arm with a gloved hand.

‘Everything is fine—it’s a perfectly healthy girl!’ she smiled.

‘It’s a girl!’ James yelped! ‘I knew it!’

I laughed happy tears at him, he had been like a child at Christmas for the whole pregnancy. The nurse handed James the small child for us both to see. I let him take hold of his precious new daughter first, it had been everything he had ever wanted for the last few years. He admired her face before offering her to my arms. I cried as soon as I saw her: she had Marcella’s button nose that was of course James’ own; blue eyes that were brilliant sapphires just like her fathers, and blonde hair that matched Anthony’s. She looked at us both in amazement, her cries had stopped at the sight of us.

'Hello Baby girl!' I breathed in amazement.

‘Definitely a Hetfield!’ James grinned. His smile was wide and beaming. His hand smoothed her small head as I held her, I couldn’t believe I had a daughter.

‘Now—let me tell you the name I thought of’ he smiled. ‘Trust me, it’s perfect’. He took a deep breath and I offered him both my eager eyes.

‘Chelsea!’ he revealed with a loving breath. He was right, it was perfect. Chelsea was my hometown in London, it was where we had met, it was where he had fallen in love with me.

‘I love it, James. She’s definitely a Chelsea!’ I cried. His mouth moved in to kiss mine and I held his head as we both cried in joy.
