Love Needs Expression (PART TWO) 1980's

Chapter 27

I woke up eight forty and noticed the paper I had written on was folded up and tucked under my pillow. Michael had read it and he put comments and a note at the bottom.
He had already left and in a few hours I needed to leave to go home.
So I made tea, took a hot shower and put my bags at the hotel door.

The whole flight I just looked through the cotton clouds taking a last glimpse of Japan.....

I surely was pregnant--and it felt good to actually know...but there were times when I was saying, " Oh Wow. I'm really gonna do this."
The Doctor had told me that week and I guess it took him a while to identify the baby's gender. (Although I swear he just did it to expand my impatience and annoy me.) " It is..." he went as my heart raced.
" A... GIRL!" It was another moment of realization:

A GIRL
A GIRL
A GIRL
WOW. ❤❤❤ My eyes brimmed up in tears of joy as I giggled. " Thank you, doctor." I nodded, put on my shades and left.

I went back home to Neverland and sat down on one of the benches. Louie batted his eyelashes while his ears fluttered back and forth. I gave him a good ear scratch while feeling happy-go-lucky. " Christina....??" I would whisper to myself, I could already imagine what she'd be like.
I felt care-free that night when I called nearly everyone I knew and told them the news. The message was just passed and passed...
I heard cries, and laughter and screams over the phone, which made me respond the same way.
I was stuck in Neverland for a few more months and Michael would call to check on me when he could--Neverland employees made sure I was able to get around to places if I needed help.

I love having a child...but not being able to fit in some of my clothes was one of the things that made me frustrated. I tried everything to get some jeans on--and I HATED feeling bloated and fat.
