Mr. James and I

Chapter 10

Monica pov

I wake up hot and cold, sweat drips off of my forehead on to my stomach. The baby moves her feet which creates i slight bump in my stomach. "Calm down baby girl" i pat her reassuringly, "Ryan" i shake my fiancé until he grumbles and rolls over squinting his eyes "yes?" I bite my lip about to cry "Is- is Amor dead?" He stares back in utter confusion "Mon what the hell are you talking about we visited her earlier" i sign in relief a dumb ass nightmare, he sits up looking scared "are you alright?" I nod "its just i had this dream she died but it felt so real" i manage to croak out before bursting into tears. "Mon lets call the hospital, ok?" I nod wiping my nose with my hand, Ryan picks up the phone and dials the number. "Hello? Yes i would like to check in Amor Matthews" he says then he hands me the phone "she is doing fine, very stable" says a voice through the phone. Ryan takes the phone back "yes thank you" then he presses the end button. "Now will you lay down?" He asks, i drop my head on the pillow and Ryan takes me into his warm embrace.

Ryan pov
I don't know whats wrong with Monica, maybe its just the baby. I think about our baby, I'm going to be a dad panic settles in slowly. What if i fuck up? This kid is going to turn out how I raise her. I get up for a glass of water and sit down on the patio watching the water from the pool shimmer under the moonlight. I hear heavy footsteps and sigh as my pregnant fiancé waddles up behind me "something wrong?" I ask turning around. Her eyes meet mine and she creeps forward never breaking eye contact, she sits in the chair next to mine and grabs my hand. "I love you" she whispers " I love you too Mon" i say squeezing her tiny hand and we sit in silence. About 7 minutes later i look at my watch "its 3:45 am Mon" i state nodding my head towards the door. We get up and walk in the quiet house, go upstairs and i realize how tired i am. Exhausted is a better word for it, as soon as my head hits the pillow i'm out.

1 month later

"Ryan, get the fuck up" Monica yells hitting me with a pillow, i groan and turn over wrapping my arms around the plushness. "Today i have a ultrasound appointment" she grunts pushing me off the bed. I land on the floor bumping my head a little, Monica doesn't seem to notice because she just steps over me and continues to get dressed. By the time i'm finished showering and getting dressed Mon is already in the car beeping the horn impatiently. "Hey don't get your panties in a bunch hun" i yell over her honking, "just hurry the fuck up" she yells back grouchily. Mon and I arrive around 10:30 am and i wait until the doctors call us in, when we get in Mon lays on this table and they put some weird cream on her stomach so they can see the baby. The heartbeat starts and i look at the screen to see a figure moving around, "see thats the head, and thats leg oh and here is the arm" the doctor says as she points to parts of the baby's body. I nod along as if i see anything but it all just looks like a blur, Mon squeezes my hand and grins at the screen. After the ultrasound Monica cannot stop talking about it, "were gonna have a whole other human being that we made in the house, everybody in the house has been in my vagina"she laughs and i just nod and chuckle along with her. "Today we have to meet the decorator for the baby shower and buy supplies" says Monica as if just remembering. She directs me to the office and i park and we enter the building. I don't know what the fuck they talk about but it takes about 2hours women finally Monica exits with a lost of supplies we have to get. "Mon you do realize that the shower is in 3 months right?" She looks at me in disbelief "Ryan you have to plan these things early or it'll be a catastrophe" she says "oh" i just keep my mouth shut and drive the rest of the way. We pick up the supplies and a party planner is waiting for us at the main gates when we arrive. I don't know if its just me but the guy is giving me googly eyes and i don't like it at all. When we get in the house i just head to the kitchen while Monica takes care of all the planning.

3 months later

I have to wake up early to get down to the venue and make everything is in place. After i do that i drive home, wake Monica up, hop in the shower and get dressed. Once i'm finished i check on Monica who is currently struggling with shoes, i slide the nude slides on her feet and help her into her baby pink gown. Her hair is curled already and she looks beautiful, i step back to admire the view. "Hey big girl" i turn to see Amor standing in the doorway, her hair in a shirt curly bob. Monica freaks out when she sees her Best friend "Amor! I thought you were to be released in a month" they hug and Amor replies "it was a lie, i wanted to surprise you" she says smiling and taking a look at Monica. She rubs her stomach and helps her down the stairs and into the car. We drive to the venue to see a lot of people waiting outside, when Monica steps out all attention finds its way to her and everyone gazes at her with admiration. The rest of the day is fun we dance, play games and eat  especially eat. Monica gets up and grabs a microphone "I want to thank everyone for being here tonight I-" her face goes blank and she clutches her stomach "holy shit my water broke" is all that she can say, fear wells up in my body its only been 8 months. I run to the stage and grab her, Amor helps and we hurry to the car, "quick in the backseat" i yell as Monica yelps in pain. She lays down in the back and starts to breathe as Amor hops in next to her and lays her head in her lap. I start the car and pull off rushing to the hospital,Monica yells in pain and i speed up. By the time we arrive Monica is already crowning so they wheel her into the nearest delivery room. I stand at the side of the bed holding her hand as she squeezes with a iron grip. "You fucker you did this to me" she clenches her teeth and looks up at me furiously. I stare in shock as she spits out vicious words, a doctor comes up to me and says: "its ok sir, its just the birth talking." I decide to get a better view and watch as Mon pushes the baby out, i almost faint but i manage to hold together. When the baby is finally out the doctors hold it up "its a boy" my heart leaps a son and i smile happily. Before we can celebrate Monica screams again and the doctor yells "its another baby" i stare confused, they must be mistaken we only saw one baby. I look again and black out, i wake up on the couch in the delivery room and look up to see Monica breastfeeding two babies, for a moment i'm confused then i remember twin how the fuck did the miss a whole other baby? I get up and walk over to them, Monica looks up at me as i watch her feed our kids. "Names?" I question we never really discussed it "Artemis and Apollo" she says nodding her head to the babies "wanna hold her?" She asks looking up at me. I nod and hold my hands out as she detaches Artemis from her nipple and hands her to me, the baby whines a little and opens her hand. I instantly fall in love as i watch her move in my hands, she's so tiny i feel if i move to much i'll break her. I hand her back to Mon and take Apollo into my hands, he cries until i begin rocking him and he grabs my finger, my heart feels with warmth as i hold him, my son.

After a few days Monica is released from the hospital, Amor purchased a extra crib and picked up a extra carseat for us. We strap the babies in the back and Mon stays back there with them because she wont let them get 4 feet away from her. We arrive home and carry the babies in and close the door behind us. I look at my children and my fiancé and i already see our future together..
