After All This Time

Chapter 31: it's almost time...

This is a bit of a time skip to like a week before charlie is due

Charlie's POV:

Well it's almost time. i went to the doctor to confirm everything and they said she was ready. I have about a week until our baby girl comes in.

Nick has had 7 panic attacks, Clover has had multiple heart palpitations just thinking about having another girl in the house, and me? i've done all the above x2.

Colette just doesn't like to stop moving at this point, braxton hicks are x1000 times worse. i'm just always hungry and everything hurts all the time. The doctor (at nick's request) put me on bed rest until the c-section.

The baby room is done and it looks gorgeous! Nick and clover put their all into it and i can't be more thankful. the hospital bag has been packed by me because love nick but the man can't pack a bag to save his life. i've also decided to have nick and sarah in the room with me. i asked tori and she said she doesn't do well with blood and needles and doesn't want to pass out in the room. so here comes sarah!

I honestly don't mind, she's been a motherly figure since i was what? 14? she can definitely come help, and besides she was a nurse for years so pretty sure she can handle it.

I'm currently in bed scrolling through social media but i'm not really paying attention: all i can think about is having a baby! Nick is beside me on his own phone but letting me lay my head on his chest with his arm around me. When colette moves (that you can see) we both stop to watch her and here it is happening again.

Nick: "i'm way too excited to just have her in my arms."

Charlie: "same! what do you think she'll look like?"

Nick: "i'm desperately hoping she has your curls and eyes and everything else. i just hope she looks copy paste to you"

Charlie: "omg nick. that's not a real answer"

Nick: "Yes it is!!! I think she will look like you. maybe with my hair color..."

Charlie: "yea there it is"

Nick: "what??? i can't hope that my daughter has blonde beautiful curls?"

Charlie: "you can but remember we can't be disappointed if she doesn't look like what we think."

Nick: "i really don't care what she looks like, she will always be my little baby and i will love her no matter what."

Charlie: "you are going to be a great dad, you know that right?"

Nick: "oh please you're going to be so much better. you work with actual children for your job! i work with teens and even then im not out very good at it."

Charlie: "let's agree to disagree and that we are both going to be good parents who love this baby more than anything."

Nick: "yeah, i like that."

He kisses me on the cheek and we just continue to talk about our wonderful daughter to come.
