Obsession

32.

A few weeks have gone past and Stephen and Raven have been planning their wedding vigorously. Every detail every item accounted for in the budget. Everything. Everything had to be perfect. Everything had to be to their liking. And everything had to go right this time. Today they would be sending out the invitations for their wedding and hoping everyone would RSVP by the cut off date so they would have an accurate account.

Stephens mind had been everywhere recently since his last talk with his father. He was still upset but he wanted to talk to him face to face. None of us knew why Stephen had did what he did to Raven. Hell Stephen didn't even why he did it. A woman had never made him feel that way let alone have him acting like that. Never. But something about Raven was different. Everything about her made him feel weird inside.

"Baby what you thinking about?" She asked him catching his day dreaming

"Huh? Oh. Nothing baby. Don't worry about it." He said pulling her close to him and kissing her forehead. This would be their third time getting married, this time being the final. Stephen wasn't going to let anything fuck this up. Nobody either.

"Babe, the guys "ll be here in a few to get fitted and then bre and them will be here around 5 to get sized and fitted so please behave."

Raven couldn't stress this enough... Her and Stephen had been going at it like rabbits like every other day now. And as much as she loved it, the quickies when their friends were around was a little much for her. She would always feel guilty in the midst of pleasure because she knew how her fiancé was. She didn't want to put anyone in danger this weekend because she also knew how her fiancés' friends were when they were drunk.....

"So can we go ahead and get it out the way now..? or I gotta wait until these niggas leave my house?"

"You can wait... E we get married in a week and a half, we wont be having sex anymore after tonight until we leave for the Bahamas"

Stephen snickered, "So no quickies either?" Raven side eyed him "Definitely no quickies I hate when your friends can hear us...." 

"What about making love that's not sex... that's baby making..."

"No E I'm serious."

"I'm serious too, how you gone put that shit on me every night then take it back... imma start going through withdraws and shit..."

Raven looked over at him concerned. She had been handling her PTSD well since her last falling out with Stephen and he had been doing well since they got back together... but she didn't want to be the reason he reverted back to his old self.

Stephen could see the worry on Ravens face and spoke. "Baby its not that serious I promise. I know weve had some bumps but that's in the past. I'm not worried about it. I can hold out for two weeks. My major concern for real is you wanting to honeymoon in the Bahamas like we didn't live in Cancun

"I just want everything to be fresh for us." Cancun was the breath of fresh air that the couple needed to help jumpstart their new beginning. New baby on the way, finally getting married the correct way and legal way. This whole trip had to be perfect

"It will I promise everything will go smooth, all I'm worried about is how many times you're going to call the twins over the week..."

"Fuck .... Ouch."

"What's wrong....? I'm calling Mel"  Stephen looked over Raven in concern as he dialed their midwife's number.

"Mel baby's coming, imma put her in the tub ion think she gone make it downstairs."

Raven continued to groin and roll around the bed in pain as Stephen frantically filled the tub with warm water and placed all the towels around the ledge and the since for baby stevens' arrival.

"Come on baby imma help you undress from the waist down and we gone do this Mel on the way. Y'all! Baby coming."

All four friends gathered in their room Victoria sitting on the toilet bre leaning on the opposite side of the tub to assist Stephen if necessary. And the guys both sitting in the bathroom vanity watching as their boy works everything out.

"I swear to god you better not ever touch me again in your fucking life!" Raven says thru gritted teeth.

Everyone lets out low chuckles but no one laughs hard enough to piss her off.

"You're doing great ray, breathe slow and thru your mouth.. let me know when the pressure is fully in your pelvis and cervix area so we can start pushing."

Stephen goes in and checks her dilation just like he did the last time and she still hadn't dilated far enough right now she was just at a 4 she needed to be at at least an 8 or 9. Raven lay in the tub tryin to control her breathing as her contractions continue to get shorter.

They were once every 7 mins now she's almost every 3 minutes after a 45 minute period. Stephen checks her again and she's still at 6cm for dilation. He hopes that changes soon or they'll need to be rushed to the hospital seeing as though rays contractions are as close as they are.

"We'll looks like y'all gone be postponing that wedding" Terrence says slyly.

"Bre love you but I'm gonna kill your boyfriend and mine as soon as I drop.."

Twenty more mins go past and Ravens finally pushing. Everyone gives her worries of encouragement as she pushes and they finally see the head of the baby.  After a few more straining pushes Raven finally welcomes her beautiful baby boy. He barely cries even when getting cleaned up which concerns Ray.

"Babe is he ok ?"

"Ray he's fine he's just gonna be bad as shit." Victoria says. "This lil muhfucka just letting us do what we do."

They finally hand him over to Raven and she coos over him. Her beautiful baby boy.  She watches as her sucks on his fingers she places her pinky in his hand and he wraps his small hands around it. This was her favorite moment. The initial bond right out of the womb.

Everyone leaves out to give mom and baby some time and also give mommy some time to clean up. Steven puts him in his pen and helps ray clean up before helping her into her faja. She had gotten her stomach flushed, showered slightly, had on her aloe and witch hazel cooling pad and could now get some rest. She knew for a fact she would heal up in no time like she did last pregnancy so she wasn't worried about not being able to go on her honeymoon they were always able to make adjustments. That's just something that would have to wait right now. 

She lay in bed watching her husband gawk over their new son. Raven wanted so badly for him to be the best father possible to their three kids and she hope things would be different with this baby.

"I was crying about waiting two weeks and now I gotta wait six. I just want you to know that I run shit around here little boy.... You already coming in when you want to.... Not allot of saving I'm gone be able to do when you get older if yo ass don't follow rules already."

Raven chuckles "E leave my baby alone. He didn't mean to come early."

"I max scared him outta there huh? Just wait till you get older you gone wish you got everything from yo daddy..."

"E!"

"Sorry baby, get some rest imma go cook and leave y'all alone. You did great today. I love you"
