Ramon
The weeks went by quickly and I stayed at Celestia's side like a thorn on a rose. She got very irritable at every little thing and I tried to soothe her pain and frustration as best as I could. My poor baby. If I could take the pain away I would. At this very moment, I curse Adam and Eve.
"Ramon, I'm hungry again. Why am I so damn hungry? I'm gonna gain weight- and why the hell is my feet so big? No one told me that I was gonna go up an entire shoe size. I don't want to do this anymore I can't-"302Please respect copyright.PENANA7idrm42BRI
"Hey, hey, you're fine. You're doing fine. Just a few more days. Here, come sit down and I'll make you some food. Whatever you want." I whisper as I hold her tightly.302Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5wAVvRxrI
She looks up at me and sighs.302Please respect copyright.PENANAZEVWNYG6mB
"Eggs. All I want is eggs. It's the only thing I can eat right now that won't make me throw up."302Please respect copyright.PENANAdlBuX6Ci4N
"I'll make you a plate of scrambled eggs, does that sound good?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAJMwxB9614t
"Yes, it does, and thank you. No one asked you to put up with my moods."302Please respect copyright.PENANA9VZOtOe8DY
"I'm not putting up with anything darling. Your ready to give birth any day now, I don't blame you."302Please respect copyright.PENANAhhG3BdIH6D
I kiss her forehead and take her to the library to have her lay on the couch. Then I go back to the kitchen to start her eggs.
When I finish her eggs, I bring the plate over to her with a fork and she immediately digs into it.302Please respect copyright.PENANAu86hHaNMJa
I chuckle slightly and make my way back to clean up.
"Are you finished, my love?" I ask as I walk back into the library.302Please respect copyright.PENANAT95jEF09oh
"Yeah, I am. I feel a little better." she smiles.302Please respect copyright.PENANAkhGvNCupJU
I nod and take the plate from her to go and wash it. Mid washing, I hear a piercing scream of agony from Celestia and I drop everything, rushing to her in seconds.302Please respect copyright.PENANAYY8Vmhi2nN
"What's wrong?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAkJTs9ONa4j
"C-Contrac-Shit!" She yells out as she tries to get up from the couch.302Please respect copyright.PENANA1srSnINhqA
"Sit, honey," I say trying to soothe her as I look at my watch, mentally counting the seconds.302Please respect copyright.PENANAim0dILMDJS
After a minute had passed, I looked down at Celestia. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing hard.302Please respect copyright.PENANA6qPHq1OnEV
"That shit hurt like a bitch." she groans. "Now my back hurts."302Please respect copyright.PENANAMJzXTX4igz
"Darling," I softly say as I move a few hair strands out of her face. "We could possibly be having our little girl today." I smile.302Please respect copyright.PENANA8rXU9IrJm7
She looks up at me and smiles back before she shuts her eyes close again.302Please respect copyright.PENANA7YePzGkmmF
"God, how nice would that be." she sighs. "I'm not one to tolerate pain much these days. I don't know how long I can take this anymore."302Please respect copyright.PENANAI3r3fYNvQv
"You're doing great, my love. I wish I could transfer the pain from you to me."302Please respect copyright.PENANA6lBpAgMHKc
"I know, I know, I'm just saying that cause I'm exhausted."302Please respect copyright.PENANAZa2lNnIKck
"I know this is hard for you. I can't imagine doing all this." I sigh as I sit next to her. I twist her so that her back faces me and I start to rub at the tenseness in her back with my thumbs.302Please respect copyright.PENANAdAMFYR0iAX
"Mm, that feels good." she happily groans as she lays onto me. "I'm so tired I just want to sleep but for some reason, I can't."302Please respect copyright.PENANAcE4LJr28j2
"Well how about laying on me. Try to see if you can sleep. I'll be right here." I say soothingly combing my hand through her hair.302Please respect copyright.PENANAWG3VTDWLEY
"I'll try but I know I won't be able to."302Please respect copyright.PENANAM0bIFJlzsj
"Just try," I whisper and tilt her back to my chest. She closes her eyes and I pull her hair back from her face. The sound of her breathing is calming but it doesn't last. She jerks up and moans in pain again.302Please respect copyright.PENANAaHlrLLUHaD
"Another one?" says Madeline as she enters the room with my mother and Lilly in tow.302Please respect copyright.PENANAvswYW4ze94
"Y-ye-Ahh! H-how long h-has it been s-since the f-first?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAaoYvkOO6B3
I check my watch. "Four minutes. We need to get you to the hospital."302Please respect copyright.PENANAY4JsO2Gj4A
"It hasn't been an hour yet."302Please respect copyright.PENANASayidsT2Vs
"Your contractions are four minutes apart. I want to make sure that you and our little girl are safe, well, and in good hands. We have to go, my love," I say as I take her hand.302Please respect copyright.PENANAKuxD3f53QC
The second I place her hands in mine, I can feel her shaking.302Please respect copyright.PENANAB6nysEqZA8
"You're shaking, Darling are you okay?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAY9820T7ISr
She looks up at me and I see the slight quiver in her lips and her eyes turn glassy.302Please respect copyright.PENANA9iHi0zVRpR
"Hey, what's wrong? Baby talk to me." I say, pulling her in close.302Please respect copyright.PENANAsZc9Cf9sSo
"I'm s-scared. I'm not ready. I can't do this Ramon."302Please respect copyright.PENANAYSlrCif5lM
"Listen, you are one of the strongest women I know. You're giving life to a human being. I'd be scared too if I was in your shoes. But I'm gonna be there with you every second, and we're gonna have a beautiful baby girl, and she's gonna look like you, and we can go on our trips to Disney, and we'll spoil our princess rotten." I whisper to her. She smiles and places her head on my chest and sighs.302Please respect copyright.PENANAPBvFrHrNoy
"You got this Celestia, be that powerful bad bitch I know you are!" replies Lilly as she hugs her from the side.302Please respect copyright.PENANAl0eolXp7K5
"Alright, someone please grab my hospital bag; and let's have this baby."
__________
"Yes, we're in the hospital right now, she's about 5 centimeters dilated. About to get an epidural. I need you to make sure no one knows which hospital we're in. I'm not dealing with the paparazzi today. My number one priority is my fiancé and my baby. Yes. Thank you, James."
I walk back inside of the room and I see them placing the plastic on her back and then putting the needle up her back. I move to face her and take her hands in mine as she slightly winces.302Please respect copyright.PENANAEWwdjRORMX
"You're doing great my Queen," I whisper to her.302Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7Bczzh5sv
She nods, eyes still closed, and squeezes my hand tighter.302Please respect copyright.PENANALQXBapFRNe
"Hey sweetie, how are you doing?" her mother asks after placing herself next to me.302Please respect copyright.PENANAmEG0qyuKzJ
Celestia opens her eyes and slightly smiles.302Please respect copyright.PENANAQI7aA07plU
"I'm just ready for this numbing medicine to kick in and this baby to come out."302Please respect copyright.PENANAzYdXu0mD9Q
Her mom chuckles. "I hear ya," she replies before she sits on the seat in the corner. Entwining her fingers and placing them on her crossed knees.302Please respect copyright.PENANACvUhtxi3Ow
"Babe?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAXOI5uaohfS
"Yes, my queen?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAPsEuiYRSiU
"If I yell at you, I'm sorry."302Please respect copyright.PENANATr5ecadsYb
"If that's what it takes to make you feel any better then yell at me all you want." I smile as I kiss her forehead.
__________
"Alright, mama push, a few more. She's almost out."302Please respect copyright.PENANAuqwiM6HIPC
Celestia squeezes her eyes as her grip on my hand tightened to the point where I couldn't feel my fingers. She groans and grunts as she pushes and she moves herself to lean onto me, propping herself up more so that it caused her to be under less pressure.
Soon the cries of our little girl rings around the room.302Please respect copyright.PENANABBelYtQsRZ
"You did it darling, she's here."302Please respect copyright.PENANAUf9BdG2bqq
"F-finally. May I hold her?" she breathes out in a rush.302Please respect copyright.PENANABTvFJz7bgs
The doctor nods and a nurse hands her over to Celestia.302Please respect copyright.PENANA3XU5VCWpjz
"Hi, hello, aren't you just adorable,"302Please respect copyright.PENANACGNP7FxiEM
"She is, isn't she, I told you she was gonna look like you," I say.302Please respect copyright.PENANAHJX08PCaiu
"Yeah, but look. She has your eyes, and n-nose..."302Please respect copyright.PENANAGsXtfLZUXa
Celestia clutches her chest tightly.
The monitor next to her starts beeping.
The baby is being taken from her by a nurse.
The doctor rushes to her side to feel her pulse.
"What is going on?!" I ask as I look at the doctor.302Please respect copyright.PENANABnxKq0pKit
"She seems to be having a stroke."302Please respect copyright.PENANApllUmZK7Ph
"What? H-how?"302Please respect copyright.PENANA2ba43yB8aV
"Sir, we need you to leave the room." says a nurse beside me.302Please respect copyright.PENANAPJXttrgVSi
"No. There's no way in hell I'm leaving her side."302Please respect copyright.PENANA2Je7gfYmCf
"But sir were-"302Please respect copyright.PENANAdbyNpdE7K6
"No. I don't want to hear it." I say a little too harshly. "Stay with me baby please, I can't lose you."302Please respect copyright.PENANAzhDx9NoooU
