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-"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1vrpgDo8I
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWgpF5p2yd
She looks up at me and sighs.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGRU71FD6U
"Eggs. All I want is eggs. It's the only thing I can eat right now that won't make me throw up."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx8ouxRxSD
"I'll make you a plate of scrambled eggs, does that sound good?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUbzcy32Hf
"Yes, it does, and thank you. No one asked you to put up with my moods."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHRN35txbJ
"I'm not putting up with anything darling. Your ready to give birth any day now, I don't blame you."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH1nAlDh8j
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsPCyE609J
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQXvFqNFGR
"Yeah, I am. I feel a little better." she smiles.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oUQv8fvE7
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvJuWoDkEN
"What's wrong?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE4FRpAaeI
"C-Contrac-Shit!" She yells out as she tries to get up from the couch.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwVxHzQsaj
"Sit, honey," I say trying to soothe her as I look at my watch, mentally counting the seconds.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4rcwHbULx
After a minute had passed, I looked down at Celestia. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing hard.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOrb9cANjj
"That shit hurt like a bitch." she groans. "Now my back hurts."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53KozLbIrv
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmG6fDJwDN
She looks up at me and smiles back before she shuts her eyes close again.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdRCOUdgEN
"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."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3SGoQIPAa
"You're doing great, my love. I wish I could transfer the pain from you to me."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uCm9CtyUe
"I know, I know, I'm just saying that cause I'm exhausted."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyNFB6GsAE
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YrUBP6CC7
"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."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzG6bWFSFL
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFU76mkqdB
"I'll try but I know I won't be able to."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4uSPNfAWq
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NfonsojUW
"Another one?" says Madeline as she enters the room with my mother and Lilly in tow.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXckpOXB3e
"Y-ye-Ahh! H-how long h-has it been s-since the f-first?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtu5TqdstY
I check my watch. "Four minutes. We need to get you to the hospital."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EcJ15DNVX
"It hasn't been an hour yet."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGLv9eVUFe
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpJaiebcQ4
The second I place her hands in mine, I can feel her shaking.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QIIvKicKr
"You're shaking, Darling are you okay?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Eatr0Z0BT
She looks up at me and I see the slight quiver in her lips and her eyes turn glassy.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo4nJaOBN3
"Hey, what's wrong? Baby talk to me." I say, pulling her in close.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LOdvh4qeH
"I'm s-scared. I'm not ready. I can't do this Ramon."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRI9Ou9x0y
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K8dyUXPZT
"You got this Celestia, be that powerful bad bitch I know you are!" replies Lilly as she hugs her from the side.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uu5qZmmdI
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRNNTPZ3CQ
"You're doing great my Queen," I whisper to her.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsOFzR8JBK
She nods, eyes still closed, and squeezes my hand tighter.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKKboWj5K
"Hey sweetie, how are you doing?" her mother asks after placing herself next to me.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23dTfZjLXl
Celestia opens her eyes and slightly smiles.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWS2BCAvLa
"I'm just ready for this numbing medicine to kick in and this baby to come out."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNA1s5pSNO
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLSF1cMXQ2
"Babe?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzgD79B3PP
"Yes, my queen?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cutHvGSJQ
"If I yell at you, I'm sorry."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNkR6G1RcY
"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."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcsf88ANON
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDLs99cg4Q
"You did it darling, she's here."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsdWbRr0AN
"F-finally. May I hold her?" she breathes out in a rush.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSb57KZ2sl
The doctor nods and a nurse hands her over to Celestia.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPdoxbHCux
"Hi, hello, aren't you just adorable,"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vcK480ffF
"She is, isn't she, I told you she was gonna look like you," I say.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjMEz95aqg
"Yeah, but look. She has your eyes, and n-nose..."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBggQdTyRs
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf6lNhXXGh
"She seems to be having a stroke."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2AcNXNyyY
"What? H-how?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0u605JRVD
"Sir, we need you to leave the room." says a nurse beside me.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN0LOJgj1M
"No. There's no way in hell I'm leaving her side."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHiYShI4Tc
"But sir were-"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpaOjMN4fq
"No. I don't want to hear it." I say a little too harshly. "Stay with me baby please, I can't lose you."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVoQcmMpon
