| Well I just heard the news today It seems my life is going to change I closed my eyes, begin to pray Then tears of joy stream down my face "What?" JC spoke in awe, into his cell phone. "Oh my God. Mary, I love you so much! Fuck, I wish I could be there! Are you sure?" He only nodded as the information came to him from the reciever. Tears were pouring down his cheeks and he looked up, making the sign of the cross and whispering his thanks to God. He couldn't believe this. Everything would change, now. He'd have to make adjustments in his schedule, take time off of touring, cancel lots of TV shows, make ANOTHER addition onto the house. This was going to change his whole life around. But in a good way. With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Well I don't know if I'm ready To be the man I have to be I'll take a breath, take her by my side We stand in awe, we've created life He wasn't quite sure if he was ready for this. Could he handle all the changes? Could the guys? Could Mary Beth? But, he knew deep down inside that all he had to do was be there for her and everything would be okay. And he would make sure he was there. JC quickly pulled out his agenda book and crossed out the next three week's plans. Justin watched him curiously, one eyebrow raised. "Hey man," he spoke, patting his friend on the back. "You okay?" JC could only look at him and nod. "Justin." he began to speak. Justin waited patiently for JC to compose himself so he could actually get more than one word out. "J-Justin. I'm gunna be a father." Justin's jaw nearly hit the floor, and the hotel room door opened right up as the 3 other *NSYNC-ers fell to the ground, their mouths open also. With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open JC walked in the door carrying that week's groceries, plus some, and smiled as he saw Mary Beth standing with her back towards him, making a peanut butter and-pickle-sandwich. He put them down on the island counter, smiling growing wider as he remembered the day he chased her around it 6 months ago, the day their soon-to-be beautiful child, which he hoped was a boy, was created. "Hey," he spoke softly as he wrapped his arms around her body, placing his hands on her tummy in time to feel the baby kick. "Hello," she giggled as she played with the fuzzy thing on his chin. He kissed her on the top of her head and whispered into her curls. "I love you." If I had just one wish Only one demand I hope he's not like me I hope he understands That he can take this life And hold it by the hand And he can greet the world With arms wide open... He stood, like a soldier, beside Mary Beth as she lay on the table in the Delivery Room, pushing like mad. "JC REMIND ME TO NEVER HAVE SEX WITH YOU AGAIN!!!" she huffed. JC only lifted her hand, which had her nails digging into his skin, and kissed it, rubbing her knuckles soothingly. "You're doing great, baby. It'll all be okay. I promise." "Just one more push, Mrs. C!" the nurse coached. Mary Beth fell back, taking a deep breath, and then sat back up with JC supporting her shoulders. "You can do this, you can do this," he whispered in her ear. Suddenly the cry of what he thought was his son filled the room. "Congratulations, Mr. Chasez!" the doctor celebrated as he handed the baby over to the nurse after looking at it. "You have a beautiful baby. Girl!" |
