THE HEMMINGS TWINS

CHAPTER 39

LILIA P.O.V 

32 weeks pregnant 

The worst thing in the world was wanting to tell my brother about what was going on in my life, but I knew he didn't really care. It hurt so badly that Dax would ask to go see Luke but I knew that he most likely didn't want to see either of us.

I was eight weeks away from giving birth and we were finally making decisions on what was going to happen when I give birth. We planned to have it at the midwifes house, with just my parents and Karen while Scartlett watched Dax for me. For right now, me and the baby were going to share my room until I was able to build onto the house, which I was planning to do pretty much right after the baby is born. 

"She's looking very healthy. She's beginning to turn and face head down." My midwife said as she checked to see the babies weight. "She's measuring about 5 pounds. She's going to be small." I nodded my head as I watched the screen. 

I was much more nervous with this pregnancy and I knew it was because I knew what was going to happen and I was more than nervous to give birth. I knew that I would be taking the baby home alone, no one else would be there to help me with the midnight feedings. I never pictured that I would be doing this alone. 

*35 WEEKS PREGNANT*

I was getting very uncomfortable. It was hard to sleep and it was getting even worse because Dax would refuse to sleep in his own bed, putting him sleeping next to me and he would often kick me and I would end up staying awake all night. 

I wanted to scream. I still didn't have everything I needed for this child and I was beginning to stress out so when my mom called and said to come over and to dress nice, I felt like I was going to cry. Christmas was within the next week and I has planned to wrap Dax's presents today but apparently my plans were being ruined. 

I got dressed and waddled out to my car. Dax was with Karen and has been for about three hours. Karen took him a few days a week to let me sleep but even then, I wasn't sleeping. 

I hated driving. I had to sit far away from the steering wheel but because I was so short, my feet barely reached the petal and I was scared that I would get into an accident and kill either me, Dax, Henley, or someone else. 

Getting to my moms house was simple, I had done the drive loads of times before but I found it hard to park. My car just barely made it into the driveway. I waddled into the house, finding pink decorations hung all over the place and my name written on a chalk board. I giggled a little. I knew that my mom would do this even though I didn't want a baby shower. But the more I thought about it, the more thankful I became. 

"Surprise!" Everyone shouted once I reached the living room. I smiled and hugged my mom. 

"Thank you." I said before I hugged Karen knowing that she was also apart of this. "I really needed this. Where's Dax?" I questioned. 

"Mama!" He shouted running to me and gripping my legs. It took me weeks to explain to him that I was no longer allowed to pick him up due to me being so close to my due date. "Baby sis." He said touching my belly looking at everyone in the room. 

"Right. That's your baby sister." I smiled down at him. "Are you excited to meet her?" I asked and he nodded his head smiling up at me. "Are you gonna help me take care of her?" I asked and he nodded again before running over to a table that contained tons of candy and I followed to help him.
