My Everything

By:  Emily

"I want to break up, Jacob.” Megan said quietly.

Jacob quickly looked up at his long time girlfriend. He immediately jumped off the couch.

“What? Why?” He asked quickly.

“Jacob…I just…it’s too hard.” Megan said looking down, unable to look in to his eyes.

“Hard? Nothing is easy Meg, and you of all people know that. We’ve worked so hard to make this relationship perfect, you just want to quit?” Jacob said following her while she walked around the living room.

“Perfect? No Jacob, this relationship is NOT perfect, that’s why I’m leaving.” Megan said gathering her stuff.

“What are you talking about, Meg? I love you, you love me…what isn’t perfect about this?”

“How many things do you want me to name?” Megan asked coldly finally looking up at him.

“How…many things are there?” Jacob asked scared.

“Well, lets see.” Megan began the list. “Number one. You’re NEVER here! Number two. You have girls across America, throwing themselves at you. Number three. When you are home, your mind is always on music. Number four. The most I ever see you, is about a week every three months. Number five…” Megan turned away.

Jacob stood there unable to say anything. He had no idea how she felt.

He finally shook him self out of it. “What is number five?”

Megan turned around, tears were pouring down her cheeks. Jacob quickly ran to her side, but she pushed him away.

“Megan, baby…what is number five?” He asked scared to know the truth.

Megan took a deep breath and turned around. “I’m about to ruin your career.”

Jacob stood still. What is that suppose to mean? He thought.

“Jacob, I’m…I’m pregnant.” Megan said quietly.

Jacob never imagined her saying that. He started pacing back and fourth.

“Jacob, I’m sorry. That’s why I’m leaving. I can take care of it myself. I know how much your career means to you, this will kill your career, Jacob. The fans will hate you, they will hate ME. So, I decided to just leave…it will make everything easier.” Megan sobbed.

Jacob stopped pacing. “Megan…” He turned around and took her in his arms. “I love you. Nothing will make me stop loving you. You mean more to me then my career. I won’t let you go and take care of our baby by your self…I want to be there for you…and him.” Jacob said rubbing her back.

Megan started to laugh. “Him?”

“Well, yeah! It’s going to be a boy.” Jacob said knowingly.

“I don’t think so…it’s going to be a girl!” Megan said the same way.

Jacob smiled. “So, you’re going to stay right?”

Megan’s smile faded. “Jacob, I can’t do this to you.”

“Don’t move. I’ll be right back!” Jacob said running into their bedroom. He came running back out with something in his hand. He bent down in front of her.

“Megan Elisabeth Benitt…will you marry me?” Jacob said holding out a ring.

Megan now stood speechless. “Jacob, what are you doing?”

Jacob grabbed her hand. “I love you Megan, and I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?”

Tears started pouring down Megan’s face again. She bent down and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Yes…yes I will marry you, Jacob.” She whispered.

Jacob wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her hard on the lips.

“When should we plan the wedding for?” Megan asked after the kiss ended.

“As soon as possible.” Jacob smiled.

(9 months later)

“Now take a deep breath and push Megan.” The doctor said.

Megan took a deep breath, squeezed Jacob’s hand and pushed. “AAHHH!” She screamed in pain.

Jacob rubbed a cloth over her head. “It’s ok baby, just breath.” He kissed her forehead.

She pushed him away violently. “It’s not ok, you bastard! Look what you did to me! Don’t come near me!” Megan shouted.

Jacob stood confused. The nurse walked over and patted his back.

“Don’t worry, they all say that.”

“Megan, I need you to push one last time.” The doctor said coaching her.

She started to push. “JACOB! What are you doing over there?!? Stay with me!” Megan yelled. Jacob walked back over and grabbed her hand.

After the last push, the room was filled with the sound of the wailing baby.

“It’s a beautiful, healthy, boy.” The doctor announced.

Jacob squeezed her hand and bent down. “You did a great job, Megan.” He kissed her softly on the lips.

The baby was cleaned and placed in Megan’s arms.

“He’s beautiful, he looks just like you, Jacob.” Megan said softly.

“He has your nose.” Jacob said touching the baby’s nose softly.

Megan laughed softly. “Hello there hansom.” Megan cooed.

“Hello.” Jacob said.

“Not you, silly!” Megan laughed. Jacob pouted but then smiled down at the two.

“Dylan Christopher Underwood, I’m your mommy and this is your daddy.”

“That’s sound really nice…mommy and daddy.” Jacob said softly.

“Yes it does.” Megan said.

“I love you, Mrs. Underwood.” Jacob said.

“I love you too, Mr. Underwood.” Megan said.

Jacob leaned down and kissed her lips lightly, then kissed the baby’s forehead. Then he took the baby out of her arms and put him in his own.

Jacob looked down at the baby in his arms. “I told you it would be a boy.”

“Well, we’ll have to try for a girl later.” Megan laughed.

“Yes we will.” Jacob agreed.

“I think I found the most important thing in my life.” Jacob said a couple minutes later.

“What about your music?” Megan asked.

“Well that too, but you and Dylan are now the only most important things in my life.” Jacob said seriously looking down at his son and his wife. “You are my everything.”
