looked at her sister, but Mia
just shook her head.
    “I’ll wait
for you out here. I think it would be weird if I went back since I don’t know
Jax and Ky that well.”
    “It wouldn’t
be weird, but if you want to wait, that’s fine,” Sadie told her.
    “I’ll wait,”
she reiterated and then Sadie and Ace disappeared behind the doors that led to
Jax’s room.
    “So you came
to the hospital, but you don’t actually want to see the baby?” I chuckled
looking at her.
    “Well, I was
having a late breakfast with Sadie when Jax called to say her water broke.
Sadie didn’t want to take the time to drop me back off at my dorm before
getting up here, even though Jax had your brother and his wife with her.”
    “I see, so
you were just along for the ride. Probably not how you expected to spend your Saturday
afternoon.”
    “Pretty
much, but it’s okay. I like Jax. She’s always been nice to me, and it’s kind of
exciting to be here for the birth of a celebrity baby. I mean did you see those
reporters and people with cameras outside? It’s kind of crazy.”
    When we’d
arrived at the hospital, we were accosted by the usual crowd of paparazzi. Jax
didn’t like to bend to them, changing her life just because of who Ky was, so
she insisted on doing most things as normally as she could, including giving
birth at a hospital. Even though this was the best hospital in Boston, and they
promised that they took privacy very seriously, no doubt someone low on the
staff had made a phone call as soon as Jax had been admitted.
    Her and Ky’s
story was one that people never really got tired of, and the more notoriety
that the band got, the more we were all hounded in our personal lives. Most of
the time, it wasn’t that big of a deal. It came with the gig, and we all took
it in stride, but Ky and Jax got more of it than any of us. Before the tour
this summer, they’d actually had to move out of Jax’s childhood home next door
to my dad’s place, and into a more exclusive and private neighborhood. It’d been
hard on Jax, who just wanted to maintain as much of a normal life as she could,
but with the baby coming, she’d known it wasn’t realistic and they wanted to be
safe.
    “You’re not
planning to sell them a story now, are you Mia?” I teased her, but her eyes
went wide like she thought I was serious.
    “Oh, God no.
I would never do that. I swear. I know what it’s like to have people turning
your life into their entertainment.”
    “Relax, I
was just giving you a bad time,” I reassured her, wanting to erase the mortified
expression from her face.
    “Besides, if
you did,” Spade added, “we know where to find you.” He winked and she smiled
somewhat nervously. Then her sister and Ace were back and she stood as if to
leave with them, but Sadie stopped before her.
    “Jax said she’d
love it if you wanted to go back and see her. She’s sorry she interrupted our
breakfast and that you spent all day waiting out here,” Sadie told her.
    “Oh, umm,
that’s alright. I don’t want to make you guys wait. I’m sure you want to get
home with Ace, now that he’s back. You can just take me back to my dorm. I’m
sure I can see Jax and the baby another time.”
    “Hey, why
don’t you guys get going,” I found myself speaking up, “Ace can take you out
for dinner or something, and I’ll give Mia a ride back to her dorm, that way she
can come see Jax with us and you guys don’t have to wait to have some alone
time,” I offered.
    Mia smiled
at me and Sadie asked her if that was okay. She nodded, almost too
enthusiastically, and I worried that maybe I shouldn’t have offered, but it was
too late to take it back now.
    Mia followed
me and Spade back to Jax’s room, and even though Jax was friendly and made it
clear that she was happy to see Mia, she mostly stood off to the side while
Spade and I visited with the new parents. Their little guy was a handsome one,
obviously his looks came from his mom, even though
