Grant’s POV
It’s 8am in the morning, and Candice is in a lot of pain. We had so much fun yesterday and got some good rest until like an hour ago when C woke up to really bad back pain and what we think are Braxton Hicks contractions. Everyone else is still asleep so Candice is trying not to be too loud but the pain is really bad, and I feel horrible because all I can do is try and comfort her, hold her hand, and massage her back. C: “mmmmmm, holy fuck” she says while supporting her self with her hands on the bed. G: “it’s gonna be ok” While I was rubbing her back, I got a phone call. It was from LA, and I picked up. G: {“hey LA it’s not really the best time now”} L: {“oh sorry just wanted to check-in see how y’all were doing”} G: {“we are doing pretty good} C: “G please get off the phone” C said in a painful tone. L: {“how about I call back later} G: {“yeah, that’s a good idea thanks for checking in”} L: {“anytime, bye”} G: {“bye”} I hang up the phone and go back to rubbing C’s back. G: “just breath baby just breath” C: “will you stop fucking saying that shit, it’s not helping” she says with a very calm but irritable voice. G: “sorry I’m just trying to help” C: “well you’re not and I would really appreciate it if you'd stop trying” I was really hurt by that because I have done nothing but try and support and be there for her during this. G: “well than you can go through this by yourself I’m out” I walk out to go get some air, I stay out their for about 5 minutes before going back in the room to find Candice on her knees with her head on the side of the bed crying and I don’t know if it’s out of pain or emotion. In that moment, all my frustration goes away, and I go to her, sitting on my knees beside her to comfort her and rub her back. G: “hey baby it’s ok I’m right here, I just went to get some air ” she hugs me and breaks down in my arms. C: “I’m sorry, I shouldn't have went off on you like that you didn’t deserve it, I really do appreciate you, I was just irritated that LA had called you and my emotions are just all over the place” G: “it’s ok I understand, but why were you upset that LA called I thought you were glad we were still friends” C: “I am... it’s just she is so pretty and I look so fat and ugly compared to her, and I just thought maybe you would miss being with a fit beautiful woman” I was really shocked by this because I always remind her how beautiful I think she is. I guess this time, I need to make her believe it. G: “no baby, don’t you ever think that." I say as I grab both sides of her face in my hands, making sure she is looking up at me. "I wouldn't want to be with any woman other than you, you are my everything, you make life worth living, I couldn’t imagine life without you, I can't wait to grow old with you, I can’t wait to start a family with you. Even if someone offered me a trillion dollars to be with someone else, I would still choose you. You are the most beautiful girl in the world, the girl of my dreams, the girl I want to marry one day. You bringing our child into this world is the most beautiful selfless thing anyone could do, I would be crazy to think otherwise, and I would never find anything ugly in that. My biggest mistake in life was losing you and not telling the world how much I love you. You are and will always be the most amazing, most beautiful, most inspiring girl I know, and I’m so glad you’re mine.” Tears are still falling down her face as I lightly wipe them away with my thumbs, but there’s now a twinkle in her eye that means she is happy. C: “you are my everything too, I love you with all my heart” G: “and I love you with all of mine” she grabs my chin and pulls me into a tender but passionate kiss. G: “imma go run you a warm bath” C: “thank you my love” God, I love this girl.
Candice’s POV
I was in pain for about another 3 hours, and we almost decided to go to the hospital but opted out because the pain was going down. By the time the braxton hicks stopped everyone was up and had came to check on me at least once. Grant brought my breakfast to bed and we decided to spend some alone time to cuddle before the boys left to go chop firewood, and the moms went to the grocery store for some last minute ingredients for dinner tomorrow. After the boys and moms left, the girls came to my room to chat. GG: “you alright” C: “yep just a false alarm, the baby was kicking my ass” they giggle. E: “how was Grant did he panic” C: “no he was really calm and reassuring, I was in so much pain and I ended up being a little dushbag to him, and he still was my rock” GG: “that’s good” C: “I really can’t wait to give him his present, to show how much I appreciate him” E: “what did you get him” I tell them what I got him. GG: “oh he is gonna freak” C: “yeah I hope so” E: “you must really love him” C: “I really do with every part of my being, likes it so hard to explain that boy is my everything, the reason I wake up in the morning, the reason I wanna be better, I couldn’t imagine life without him, he makes me whole, he makes me a better person, he is literally my soulmate and the love of my life.” GG: “ughhhh I’m literally so single” we all laugh, the rest of Christmas Eve goes smooth, and we have a blast.
