could u maybe write something about robert coming home from tour ?
Here’s something I started about ten million years ago. 😁 Rough and unpolished but there ya go, man (channeling Robert’s American accent). ♥️
As the car turned down the latter part of the drive, he caught sight of her. Heavily pregnant, she was kneeling next to Bella, straightening the flower in her hair. Robert basked in the precious moment, so proud, so excited and expectant … his growing family. The thought vanished as her eyes suddenly shut, her brow creasing as she gripped her side and tummy. He could tell she was gritting her teeth. Oh, fuck. With Bella’s help, she stood, ushering the little girl toward the house as she struggled to follow. Bloody hell. He’d wanted to surprise her, coming home early from the tour, but the surprise was his. He clutched the door handle as the car slowed to a stop. “Christ, Jeff, she’s about to … Stay here!” Robert flew from the sedan.
“What, mate?” Jeffrey asked, jumping from the driver’s side.
“I think she’s in labor,” Robert called out as he rushed down the embankment, nearly tripping. Short of breath and heart hammering, he pushed through the door. “Belle! Belle, are you okay? Are you-”
“Oh, Robert, thank God, I was hoping you’d be back.” Michelle fell against him. “This is it, honey.”
Lifting her in his arms, he clasped Bella’s hand. “Let’s go, love. Jeff’s got the car.”
“Bella, grab my bag, babe, alright?” Annabelle dutifully slung the overnight bag across her shoulder, trying her best to keep up with her father, who was scrambling down the walk. “Robert, slow down. Bella can’t keep up. My bag’s too heavy.” Robert spun around and froze, glancing back and forth between his wife and daughter. The mix of confusion and panic etched on his face elicited a chuckle from Michelle, but it was short lived, replaced by a groan as another contraction set in.
“I’ve got it.” Jeff gently lifted the bag from Bella’s shoulder, depositing it in the car as the family settled in the back seat. “Where do I go?” He peered at the rattled singer, swallowing a snicker. He’d never seen Robert so completely discombobulated. He was met with a blank face and wide eyes … a deer in headlights.
“Take a left out of the driveway. That’s a start,” Michelle murmured, exhaling slowly. “Robert can tell you the rest.”
The trip to the hospital only took fifteen minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. Robert paced nervously, still vexed about being escorted out of the delivery room. At least he had Jeffrey. And Bonzo. I guess, he mused, studying his boisterous friend.
“Here you go, mate. Bottoms up!”
Bonzo passed Robert a paper cup, tapping it with his own. The singer sniffed the brown liquid swirling inside of it, recoiling as the drummer downed his portion in one fell swoop. “What is this?”
“Mother’s milk,” Bonzo replied, cackling. He reached into his coat pocket, fishing out a well worn flask. “Don’t tarry. Get on with it. Let’s have another round. Pat won’t be back for a bit.”
“When she is back, she’ll have your head.” Robert took a sip of the lukewarm whiskey, grimacing. “She’ll have mine, too, if I traipse in there smelling like a bloody pub.”
