Mein Herz Brennt Für Dich

Chapter 54

My body hurt the whole rest of the day, until the next. I couldn't get any sleep, but Emily and Chris were really generous. They were helping me whenever I needed help, and were getting along perfectly. 

My contractions were getting so bad, to the point where I started timing them. They were three minutes apart, and they lasted two minutes. I did that for the next thirty minutes, so I decided to call Till. 

"Till?" I asked when he answered. 

"Yes?" He replied. 

"I know it's only June 3, and the due date isn't until the 15th, but I seriously feel like this is it."

"Oh my God," He sighed. "Do you want me to come?"

"I don't know-that's why I called you."

"I'm coming."

"How long will it take you to get here?"

"I don't know-about eight hours."

"Oh God," I gasped. "That's a long time."

"I'm in the car right now driving to the airport."

I started to cry since the pain started getting worse. "I love you, Till."

"What's the matter?"

"It just hurts so bad. Grayson and Keira did not hurt this bad. This is all your fault!"

He chuckled. "I just won't get you pregnant anymore."

"You better not. I think I'm going to get a surgery so I won't get pregnant anymore. Three kids is enough."

"Five."

"I'm not having five kids!"

"No, I mean with Nele and Marie Louise."

"Oh, I see what you mean. Till?"

"Yeah?"

"Should we look for a new house to move into? So that after the wedding we can move into there and have a big enough house?"

"I think that's a good idea."

I smiled. "I miss you. I wish you were right here next to me."

"You know what?"

"What?"

"Good news: while we were in Spain, we recorded some of the album."

"That's really good. Where are you?"

"Germany. I visited Nele and Marie Louise for a little."

"You're such a good dad."

"I feel like a bunch of dads would do this."

"Hm, I don't think they would. Till, it hurts really bad."

"Who's with you?"

"Emily and Chris."

"Who the fuck is Chris?!"

"He's my agent-for the book. Oh my God, I forgot to tell you: a publishing company accepted my book!"

"They did?"

"Yes! That's why he came over!"

"Congratulations, Rilla!"

"Thank you."

"We're going to celebrate once I get back."

"Okay," I cried harder. "EMILY!"

I heard running up the stairs and my door opened. 

"Yes?" Emily asked. 

I saw that her shirt was almost undone.
