*short chapter*
After months of planning, the day of my baby shower has finally arrived. This has been a very stressful process and I'm finally glad it's over. Just yesterday, Ty and I had to look for a different outfit for us to wear. Since I've now hit thirty-three weeks and a few days, I've had to go shopping again for clothes because my originals were too small.
The day started out very peacefully. I woke up, did my usual routine, and then had to get dressed.
Amor was at the place setting up along with a few of her friends. We were just told to be at the place by 4:45 since it started at 5.
The outfits we picked fit the theme really well. Since the theme is Royal Sunflowers, everyone in attendance has to wear formal ballroom attire that's either a shade of yellow or white. But since we're the parents, we picked out matching tuxedos that are white with gold trimming and sequins. We also bought crowns to wear for the party as well.
"You look beautiful." said Tyriek as he helped me position my crown on my head. I decided to leave my hair in its natural curls and the crown was giving me a hard time.
"Thanks, so do you." I squealed before placing a kiss on his lips.
"You better stop before we not make it to the shower." He said before walking away to finish getting his shoes on.
The time was now 4 and we'd have to leave soon. After ten minutes Tyriek came and helped grab a few things before we made our way to the car.
"Is everything finished?" I asked Amor through the phone.
"Yes, and your guests have already started to arrive. So hurry up and safely get here." She said before hanging up.
The car ride there went by quicker than I thought. It might've been because I was in my head the entire time. I was a bit nervous about how everything would play out, if people would actually show up, and a bunch of other stuff. So before I knew it, the car was being put into park and Ty was making his way around the truck to open my door.
"Stop stressing pa," he said as he helped me out of the truck, "everything is going to be fine."
We walked into the building and I was instantly blown away.
Everything I imagined had been precisely executed. Everything looked like you had just stepped into a Royal Masquerade Ball.
******
The event went by really smooth. That was up until the closing.
I began feeling a dull ache in the small of my back and on my hips. I didn't think much of it given that we did dance at multiple points of the night.
I decided to just take it easy for the rest of the night and go to bed once I got home.
And that is exactly what I had done.
Around three in the morning, I was awoken by a strong urge to use the bathroom. The pain in my back had increased some but it wasn't enough to overly concern me.
As I sat on the toilet and began using the bathroom, I felt a gush that was followed by a feeling of pressure in my nether regions. That was soon followed by intense pain in my lower abdomen.
As the pain continued to worsen, I made my way back into the room to wake up Tyriek.
He immediately woke up and began looking for ways to help. He instructed me to lie down while he called my doctor.
I didn't hear most of conversation due to the increasing urge to push. After about two minutes the urge became unbearable and I began to push.
"Pa, the doctor says you need to get to the hospital," said Ty as he entered the bathroom to get a towel and coming back over to me, "you're in labor."
"I'm not going to make it-," I said before giving one huge push.
"I'm calling an ambulance right now." He replied
Ty and the operator exchanged information while I tried to catch my breath.
"I see a head." said Ty before dropping the phone and rushing over to help me.
Before he could do anything else, I pushed one more time and instantly felt the pressure ease. That was soon followed by the sound of crying.
I looked down and Ty was picking up the newly delivered baby. He used the towel that he'd gotten and began wiping the newborn off.
Soon after the sound of an ambulance was heard approaching. Ty gave the baby to me so that he could go and let the paramedics in. They soon entered and began assessing the baby and I. They allowed Tyriek to cut the umbilical cord and then loaded us up to take us to the hospital.
Once we arrived, the doctor informed us that since I was a few days past thirty- three weeks, that the baby was going to survive but needed to stay in the NICU for a week or two. Only to make sure her lungs and other organs were functioning properly and on their own.
I released a breath that I didn't know I was holding after receiving that news. The initial shock that I had just delivered a baby didn't hit until after I knew that she was ok.
Tyriek hadn't arrived yet due to him having to get clothes and stuff for the baby to bring to the hospital. So I called Parrish to see if he could come up here with me until Ty arrived.
*****
"Congratulations." said Parrish as he entered the room.
"Thank you," I said as I gave him a side hug, "did you tell anyone?"
"Only Adonis of course." He replied before sitting at the foot of the bed
"How's the new apartment? Fill me in on everything." I said
"The apartment is fine. It's two stories and we have ample space for the baby. I also just hit sixteen weeks so I'm officially into my second trimester. I'll also be finding out the gender in a few days." He replied.
We continued the conversation until Tyriek arrived. And it didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep after....
