My Little Sunshine

Thirty-seven

Rose POV

My eyes fluttered open hearing Isaiah's voice. "Your mummy loves you. Daddy loves you. We're gonna be the luckiest parents to have you soon. Just a few more weeks, kiddo and we'll be able to see the little feet that like to kick mummy so much." With that I felt a kick making Isaiah chuckle.

"Yeah, them little feet. I can't wait to see what you look like, or if you'll be a boy or a girl. You need to cook a little quicker in there. I know I'm ready to have you in my arms but I know mummy is more than ready. She's going to give you so much love. Probably more than me but I can't complain. As long as you're the only other person she loves I don't care."

"You're gonna be such a good dad." I smiled down at him while running my fingers through his hair.

"I know." Isaiah winked at me. He moved back up the bed and wrapped his arms around me. Only we couldn't be chest to chest like we used to as my bump gets in the way. We are a few days away from Isaiah's birthday making me fifteen weeks. This baby makes sure to kick a lot to make more room.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me with a kiss to my head.

"I'm okay. Hungry but I'm okay." I replied.

"Alright. Let's get you fed before your appointment." Isaiah kissed me before getting up.

"I forgot about that." I whined and buried my head in to the pillow.

"I know you don't want to go, but remember we get to see our baby. See how far it's coming along. Maybe stop calling it an it and maybe he or she." He chuckled lightly.

"Or maybe a name." I smiled at him. "Have you thought of any?"

"Uh, not just yet. What about you?" He asked.

"I don't know. I quite like the name Willow for a girl, maybe Mason for a boy. I don't know though. I think I like mason but the more I think about it the more I'm starting the dislike it." I sighed.

"There's still enough time to think about it, talk about the names we like. Maybe we won't have anything until we see the baby." Isaiah shrugged.

"Yeah." I mumbled. After a few seconds of psyching myself up, I got up and showered and dressed before going downstairs to get breakfast. All the family was there so we all exchanged a good morning before I sat down at the table. Judith placed a plate in front of me which I thanked her for and immediately dug in.

"Everything looks amazing. Whatever it is you're doing, keep it up. Baby looks great, you look great and overall I have no concerns at all." The midwife said.

"That's amazing." I smiled looking at the screen in amazement. Although this isn't the first time seeing the baby, it still leaves me speechless every time.

"Can we know the sex? Or is it too early?" Isaiah asked. He's been really involved and I can't complain at all. Back, foot, shoulder rubs. All the parts that ache he's been giving me massages to help me through it.

Shopping, Isaiah is always buying things. Whether it's blue, pink, green, purple or gender neutral. He's always buying things. Even when I say we don't know what the gender is he always tells me we can save it for our next one. I love that he's thinking of our future, our family.

It's hard to think about all that with the unsettling feeling that he's not my mate. We have it so good, we're happy, our families get along, my dad and Alec are best friends and love to work at the blacksmith station together. Judith and my mum don't get along. I know they're civil because of me, but sometimes it gets real awkward when we're all together.

"Let me see quickly and maybe I'll be able to see. I wasn't going to see this time as it can be still a bit early." She replied. After a few minutes she speaks again. "I'm sorry guys, baby is in a bit of an awkward position. I can't get a good look to see. But if you make an appointment in a couple of weeks we can definitely take a look and see what the gender is."

"Okay. Thank you." I smile at her. Isaiah and I get ready and leave the clinic.

It doesn't take us long to drive back home. Even though I've grown up in two houses, Isaiah's house feels like home. He feels like home. Anywhere he is, I'm happy, he's happy. As long as I have Isaiah home is anywhere he is. And I know he feels the same about me.

I worry for his birthday. I worry that we're not mates and I'm going to be left behind. I know very well it's a possibility, I know if we're not we're both going to find our mates. I know this baby will keep us together in some way, the selfish part of me wanted that. But the even more selfish part wants him how we are now. I don't want anything to change between us, it's so good that no one can compare to him.

Isaiah is the best. Even before I was pregnant and struggling, he would rub my back, he'd give me foot massages. He'd run me a bath and even more so now when I'm sore and ache. And that's not even the best part. Just Isaiah being Isaiah is enough for me. He's so sweet and caring, he really takes care of me and he knows how to love. He's such a kind soul I don't understand how I was ever scared of him.

I don't get how I went from shaking at the mere thought of him to having his baby. All I know is that I love him, so much my heart could combust and I know this baby will only bring us closer. I also know he'll do alot, more than he's meant to. Isaiah thinks because I'm growing and birthing our baby that means he does all of it after the birth. Which isn't true, I mean for the first couple of days until I heal would be great, but after it'll be split.

Judith and I have both told him just because I'm birthing our child doesn't mean he has to do it all after. I'm his or her mother, I need to do it just as much as him. But his kind soul still thinks he has to do it all so I can rest and heal, but it doesn't help that even after I've healed he still thinks he's got to do it all and it's not shared between us.

A warm hand lands on my thigh shaking me from my thoughts. I look over at Isaiah to see him already looking at me with a smile. I smile back loving how this man loves me and looks at me. No one will ever amount to Isaiah. He's beautiful inside and out and I'm the luckiest girl to have him by my side.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" He chuckled.

"How much I love you and how lucky I am to have you."

"You have no idea how much I love you, sunshine."

Hi, I'm so sorry it's been so long. I haven't had any time to write in big chunks of time. I'm working a lot more and when I have time off it's to do all the other things of life that need doing so I haven't had much time to really sit down and write. I'll try and get a few more chapters out in the next couple of weeks. Again I'm really sorry for the wait.

On a better note, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, let me know what you think in the comments.
