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-"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLll9Lg7Xxh
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJqwHNSa4v
She looks up at me and sighs.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkD41upe8D
"Eggs. All I want is eggs. It's the only thing I can eat right now that won't make me throw up."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdrj6ks5BV
"I'll make you a plate of scrambled eggs, does that sound good?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsJUxCLTHi
"Yes, it does, and thank you. No one asked you to put up with my moods."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBKfOpjL24
"I'm not putting up with anything darling. Your ready to give birth any day now, I don't blame you."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00qOMjDmEs
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8icEC4gpV
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhnssi6Tna
"Yeah, I am. I feel a little better." she smiles.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM63ghwRr5
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtVVO0vu3s
"What's wrong?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD1Qs9ObTy
"C-Contrac-Shit!" She yells out as she tries to get up from the couch.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCqd6bfw1I
"Sit, honey," I say trying to soothe her as I look at my watch, mentally counting the seconds.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnELHAYCRFn
After a minute had passed, I looked down at Celestia. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing hard.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdXqqnEw0i
"That shit hurt like a bitch." she groans. "Now my back hurts."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8CZW4NdI
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJiBxK5q43
She looks up at me and smiles back before she shuts her eyes close again.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTPnaxQTKs
"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."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4CId3QXAg
"You're doing great, my love. I wish I could transfer the pain from you to me."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCfMREGqCU
"I know, I know, I'm just saying that cause I'm exhausted."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfszIy6GnR
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWfu24v1x7
"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."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpKP2UrwbX
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbpnh9dJq2
"I'll try but I know I won't be able to."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarPU43WILO
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2MX6G0vxZ
"Another one?" says Madeline as she enters the room with my mother and Lilly in tow.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ctajjm8vg
"Y-ye-Ahh! H-how long h-has it been s-since the f-first?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMe1qAdaBX
I check my watch. "Four minutes. We need to get you to the hospital."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZQS3qn8JP
"It hasn't been an hour yet."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXax4yVO6W
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSmG2sWiMz
The second I place her hands in mine, I can feel her shaking.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoSa7HAtEl
"You're shaking, Darling are you okay?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXM54lJN1
She looks up at me and I see the slight quiver in her lips and her eyes turn glassy.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Bzh67iNo
"Hey, what's wrong? Baby talk to me." I say, pulling her in close.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Eu2nTpxG
"I'm s-scared. I'm not ready. I can't do this Ramon."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rpTdOLexs
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68K7FH8rpe
"You got this Celestia, be that powerful bad bitch I know you are!" replies Lilly as she hugs her from the side.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYizPB5SbCn
"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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKDFL2kHDf
"You're doing great my Queen," I whisper to her.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoDL7a32TO
She nods, eyes still closed, and squeezes my hand tighter.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7KWFO3CWb
"Hey sweetie, how are you doing?" her mother asks after placing herself next to me.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz1VuhazDt
Celestia opens her eyes and slightly smiles.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ecy4Ly17Z
"I'm just ready for this numbing medicine to kick in and this baby to come out."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R1ZvMPjBB
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjrsCNsMal
"Babe?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjIYcSauOH
"Yes, my queen?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6It1Kghi9
"If I yell at you, I'm sorry."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvglz9dqlE
"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."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJls66oFloo
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTsKrjJytq
"You did it darling, she's here."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFyUoZcqkR
"F-finally. May I hold her?" she breathes out in a rush.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuThpL7Mq8v
The doctor nods and a nurse hands her over to Celestia.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqjfFwaMhJ
"Hi, hello, aren't you just adorable,"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1c2AVsgc
"She is, isn't she, I told you she was gonna look like you," I say.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0o7mBVyqc
"Yeah, but look. She has your eyes, and n-nose..."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i8RFwjzLe
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjWVH7IzwE
"She seems to be having a stroke."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZmrtycOlW
"What? H-how?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWp0eRHdvR
"Sir, we need you to leave the room." says a nurse beside me.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwbQYdAC5i
"No. There's no way in hell I'm leaving her side."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWaNdeGvkc
"But sir were-"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCuoUnpe9r
"No. I don't want to hear it." I say a little too harshly. "Stay with me baby please, I can't lose you."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUHQfCMEue
