Myra All Mine

Chapter 40

Today I woke up fairly late for me, because of how tired I was....I didn't even notice that the room was still a little bit dark......

Immediately I tried to get up, I instantly felt a mild pain in my lower back.., Honestly, I just couldn't wait till I gave birth.....

Don't get me wrong, being pregnant is a life changing journey, that I don't regret...but the pain, the countless mornings of nausea, the weird cravings, me being in a coma for half my pregnancy, the back pain, the mood swings...and the constant need to pee!!!

There are also things I can't do right now that I could do when I wasn't pregnant...but if it'll keep my baby safe, then I'll do it without a thought.....

Lucas's side of the bed was neatly made and it was really cold, meaning he'd been gone for a long while...

My mind went back to Lucas and I's confessions to each other.....he loved me

I blushed at the thought that we both loved each other....

I grabbed the glass of water on the nightstand and took a huge gulp, I was really really thirsty.....

Just 9-ish weeks left of this....

I checked my phone and it was nearly 11am.....this is a first for me, I've never woken up this late ever.....unless when I was kid....

Speaking of childhood, I momentarily remembered that I had to go and see that woman....over at the cafe deeper into town.....

Something I was really dreading.....but I had to get it over and done with....

I put  on my house slippers and went into the bathroom, tying my hair back into a messy ponytail to keep it from falling onto my face...

I quickly took a shower, then brushed my teeth and hair....then I went to the closet....it was getting a little bit chilly outside....with both Christmas and Thanksgiving approaching

I've always been a Christmas girly at heart and now that I got to spend it with the love of my life, our daughter and unborn child made me feel so complete....

I wore a white long sleeved dress that reached my feet, and a light brown fleece jacket....

I wore some white slippers that had little feathers, sprayed a little perfume and looked at myself in the mirror...

Okay, I look good enough

I made a the nee and it seemed that Lucas fixed up the room already, because it was really clean....

I left the bedroom and went to Myra's room, I checked and she wasn't there

Oh... she's already awake..I completely forgot

I went downstairs and I found Myra watching kid's learning videos on the tablet her dad got her on the carpet, with a bowl of snacks....

She was going to be starting first grade next year...and I was really happy for her....

Bryce, Lena and the kids left some hours ago, since they needed to get back home urgently

I sat above her on the couch, and I ruffled her unbrushed curls, she looked at me and hugged my mid half
"Mommy, you're awake.....daddy said not to wake you because you were really really sleepy...."
I kissed her head
"Yes, I was very tired because your little brother or sister wouldn't stop moving around in my belly..." I said to Myra....

"Is it going to be a boy or a girl?..." Myra asked me while popping a marshmallow into her mouth

"Well daddy and I decided that we'll know if it's a girl or a boy when they are born..."
"How long until that??.." Myra curiously asked
"Uhm...very very soon, just a few more weeks.." I chuckled and said to Myra
