Curveball

Chapter 44

**Morgan's POV**

Things have been going relatively calm the past few months as you got closer and closer to the end of your pregnancy.  After the press tour for Adam's movie you had wound up staying home as a family the rest of the time.  Adam was with you most of the time helping you take care of the kids.  It was nice to have these moments of normalcy, as you got to understand and appreciate what Adam went through, you knew why he needed these moments.   With the paparazzi always lurking, the press and toxic fandoms always looking to pick things apart, all it took was time together to know everything would be ok.  Following Doctors orders you kept up with what exercises you could throughout your entire pregnancy to help your body continue to get back to normal, gain strength and keep tone.  

You had decided that since this was your first child that you were carrying to term that you wanted it to be surprised as to what you would be having.   As the days ticked down to your due date, you became more and more nervous, the child was super active which you had never felt before and made you cry happy tears every time.   This was the first time you had successfully carried a baby to term, and had thought it wasn't something that was in the cards for you.

With the quiet time it had allowed you both to be able to decide on a venue for the wedding, having taken a tour of the place virtually it was everything you wanted and needed.  Everything had been figured out, the food, the dresses, the photographers/videographers, the music, the tuxes, the Bridal Party, accommodations, transportation, the guest list,  & the seating arrangements.  It was nice to have at least one less thing to stress about while waiting for what were major events to happen for you both.  

One day as you were eating lunch you felt the contractions start, grateful that your parents had started staying with you guys during your last weeks of pregnancy just in case you went into labor at any time.  "Umm I think it's time."  You say to everyone as you look up from eating, Adam grabs his phone to call the doctor, while you start to make your way to the door, your Mom helping you while you are in pain, your Dad grabbing your to go bag.  Adam takes over for your Mom, picking you up and carrying you to the car that was on stand by for exactly this.  Making it into the car, your Dad kisses your forehead as he loads in the to go bag in the car and you head off to the hospital.  Crying tears of pain and happiness as you have your arms wrapped around Adam's neck, "I love you so much." You tell him, as your contractions come and go.  He keeps reassuring you and making sure you are as comfortable as he can try to make you.  When you finally pull up to the hospital they are waiting with a wheelchair to take you inside, Adam places you into the wheelchair as he grabs the bag.   When they get you into one of the rooms they assess your progress so far, they came back saying you were further along than they had expected so it shouldn't be long now.  Adam was holding your hand and being the ever protective man you had come to love.  Having gone through this before he knew what to expect while you sat there trying to not concentrate on the pain but instead that you were about to finally have your baby in your arms. 

Before you knew it, it was finally time.  They wheeled you into the delivery room, being told to push as Adam held your hand, trying to keep you calm as you breathed through the pain and pushed.  Crying and screaming the whole time when finally you heard the doctor say you had delivered a healthy baby girl.  After they cut the umbilical cord and clean her a little before placing her in your arms.  Looking down at her for the first time your tears start all over again but this time with happy tears.  As you are wrapped up in your love spell you feel Adam lean down and wrap his arm around you as you look up with him with tired happy eyes.  You see the proud, happy eyes of him looking both at you and your baby.  As her beautiful honey colored eyes look around at you and Adam before she yawns you smile looking at Adam, "I think her name should be Serenity." He tenderly cups her head, brushing his thumb across her forehead.  "My beautiful Princess Serenity."  Kissing you softly, "And Queen Morgan."  He smiles proudly at you as you snuggle your beautiful babygirl and as much of Adam as you can.
