The Fight (Stefonnie)

Chapter 16

Eleven months later

Bonnie let out a breath but put on her "happy face" as she stood in front of the wall holding a sign that read "Nine Months". Yep. She was nine months pregnant with their baby girl and was both excited and nervous because of Olivia. She really hoped that they would have a boy since the possible jealousy factor wouldn't be as strong as it might be, but God blessed them with a girl. Stefan personally loved it, he thought that a girl was perfect for Olivia since she'll definitely have a playmate and have someone to set an example for as she gets older. Also, he wanted another girl period, so he had no worries.

"Say cheese,"

Bonnie smiled then he snapped the picture.

Pregnancy so far has been better than what she remembers. That could possibly—and more than likely be because Stefan was there for her whenever he could be. He obviously had work, but when he wasn't working, he was by her side taking orders, rubbing her feet or shoulders, grabbing her a snack, surprising her with baths, almost anything. She felt so lucky to have him by her side and would try to not take advantage of his help, but sometimes she couldn't help herself.

"How do I look?"

"As beautiful as always." He said looking down at the Polaroid then up at her.

She smiled then followed him over to put the photo in their scrapbook. Once he placed the picture in, he moved to kiss her then his baby.

"Hey, daddy's girl, I can't wait to see my little Hannah." He smiled when she started moving and kicking. "You can't wait to see your daddy either, can you?"

"Another daddy's girl, what are you gonna do when they get older and start dating?"

"I don't even want to think about that, I'm enjoying the moment."

Bonnie chuckled then moved her hands to her stomach. "I can't wait till she's out. I want to see her face."

He smiles. "Me too. From the ultrasounds though, she looks like me."

She narrowed her eyes at the slight smugness in his voice. "I don't know, I have strong genes."

"Mine are stronger."

"I guess we'll see,"

"I guess we will," he smiled then kissed her.

She pulled away to meet his eyes then pulled him in again kissing him rougher as she gripped the collar of his shirt drawing him in closer. His arms moved to opposite sides of her as she started to lay back. Bonnie abruptly pulled away causing Stefan to narrow his eyes, but then he felt exactly why she pulled away. Her water just broke.

"It's time,"

He breathed out a smile, "It's time."

His eyes closed for a few seconds hearing his child's joyous cry before opening his eyes only to close them again as he made first contact with his little one before she was carried away to get cleaned. He knelt beside his wife and kissed her repeatedly confessing his love and thanks shedding a few tears. He pulled away as their Hannah was handed off to him and he met his forehead with hers before kissing her small mouth.

"Daddy loves you so, so much." He held her close before giving her to Bonnie.

Tears filled her eyes looking down at another gorgeous girl and she couldn't wait for Olivia to see her. "You were right. Your genes are stronger."

He chuckled then kissed the side of her forehead before her lips. "I see you in her too."

"You're just being nice."
