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-"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbbUzcZ86D
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CWCYdNsx0
She looks up at me and sighs.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2MwMJnPZE
"Eggs. All I want is eggs. It's the only thing I can eat right now that won't make me throw up."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzjrHflnOy
"I'll make you a plate of scrambled eggs, does that sound good?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSdj6IUjBl
"Yes, it does, and thank you. No one asked you to put up with my moods."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxVmcm8Cy
"I'm not putting up with anything darling. Your ready to give birth any day now, I don't blame you."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXjA6hVimp
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ772Ns9M925
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv4dNzu7GO
"Yeah, I am. I feel a little better." she smiles.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL7JnXkyl4
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiSFByN9oG
"What's wrong?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVV10kDdRb
"C-Contrac-Shit!" She yells out as she tries to get up from the couch.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK7E5a9Pvu
"Sit, honey," I say trying to soothe her as I look at my watch, mentally counting the seconds.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLDJgwpMHK
After a minute had passed, I looked down at Celestia. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing hard.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh86Ldb4szZ
"That shit hurt like a bitch." she groans. "Now my back hurts."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiiOxhBmLQ
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtWbSDNADL
She looks up at me and smiles back before she shuts her eyes close again.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogZBo3Xbbi
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDNlOMsHJp
"You're doing great, my love. I wish I could transfer the pain from you to me."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Xaa9YtmV
"I know, I know, I'm just saying that cause I'm exhausted."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3wr3BwnZY
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c5uUDUiTw
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZzFlpstTg
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wmh49FkvD
"I'll try but I know I won't be able to."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJngDf0VnIl
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4gHdHL4yp
"Another one?" says Madeline as she enters the room with my mother and Lilly in tow.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKrhF8SFJe
"Y-ye-Ahh! H-how long h-has it been s-since the f-first?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzZafavgVi
I check my watch. "Four minutes. We need to get you to the hospital."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb00PjmD9c
"It hasn't been an hour yet."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk6Ai3si4S
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rN5ZA7LIH
The second I place her hands in mine, I can feel her shaking.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsZe1Oe0la
"You're shaking, Darling are you okay?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9kuS9UN9i
She looks up at me and I see the slight quiver in her lips and her eyes turn glassy.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1YwHDUr16
"Hey, what's wrong? Baby talk to me." I say, pulling her in close.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3FrzYU8A5
"I'm s-scared. I'm not ready. I can't do this Ramon."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOfd7Qr2Fy
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIeQDfArhC
"You got this Celestia, be that powerful bad bitch I know you are!" replies Lilly as she hugs her from the side.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlP99CYz6T
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhm66M3afx
"You're doing great my Queen," I whisper to her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8yWLq5Lhj
She nods, eyes still closed, and squeezes my hand tighter.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQa7I7D005
"Hey sweetie, how are you doing?" her mother asks after placing herself next to me.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sRY9o1cHf
Celestia opens her eyes and slightly smiles.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3rUhNWwrL
"I'm just ready for this numbing medicine to kick in and this baby to come out."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4JFCI8zbJ
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ4z5BOyPn
"Babe?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g9CsGM1dW
"Yes, my queen?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbQmlhLVcC
"If I yell at you, I'm sorry."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZFCk0ctRY
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFw6q0QN5F
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPFpHapuul
"You did it darling, she's here."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ2bYhzzBR
"F-finally. May I hold her?" she breathes out in a rush.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfcGpiDWTq
The doctor nods and a nurse hands her over to Celestia.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7y4knftAx
"Hi, hello, aren't you just adorable,"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu0OknmGjR
"She is, isn't she, I told you she was gonna look like you," I say.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SIVViJS2q
"Yeah, but look. She has your eyes, and n-nose..."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh9HR2awPW
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpqx1koYET
"She seems to be having a stroke."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnrl4rB4Fi
"What? H-how?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMXm9X2lat
"Sir, we need you to leave the room." says a nurse beside me.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfczXmGE0Yj
"No. There's no way in hell I'm leaving her side."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8xrO3MuxP
"But sir were-"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrlsw8r0ES
"No. I don't want to hear it." I say a little too harshly. "Stay with me baby please, I can't lose you."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEYD1JRtyC
