Chapter 74, Billy's birth

Terry Terry

I became a grandmother on June 13th 2016, baby Felix came to bring us much joy in our family. I had Candice Grandchester in this story also pregnant with a little boy, so I decided that she will have the baby the same day as my daughter and it's a boy. A coincidence, I decided that Candice will have a boy years ago, way before my daughter got pregnant! So here we go, the chapter of Billy's birth. Enjoy!

Chapter 74
" Billy's birth"

Terry took his little family to go back to Chicago.

- We can take the plane, said Candy

- You're almost due, said Terry

- But you're going to be with me...

- It's not a reason to risk the baby's life...

- If he's born on a plane, he will never pay for a plane ticket again...

- Don't tell me that you don't have the money to pay a plane ticket for your son, Miss Trust fund baby turned princess...

- It's faster...

- Princess, I'm going to rent a car and we're going to go calmly by the road and we'll get to Chicago.

- Very well doctor! Said Candy pretending to sulk.

Terry looked at her smiling. He approached her to kiss her on the lips.

- I love you princess.

- I love you, Sapphire eyes...

- You didn't tell me how you had Esther...

- Well since we didn't want any publicity, it happened in secret, with midwives who came to the castle...

- So that the press wouldn't talk about it?

- Yes...

- I admit I was surprised to hear that the great Eleonor Baker had had a baby... I had a funny feeling, but I didn't want to think too much... I chased that idea away and when I saw Esther who looked so much like you... I melted right away...

- Can I have the same thing? Asked Candy

- The same what? Asked Terry

- A home birth...

- You want to give birth at home?

- I hate hospitals... the atmosphere is creepy...

- Not always, the maternity is kind of a happy place, full of life, don't you think so?

- Please Terrence... I liked it the first time, I was in a pool of warm water, and it relieves the pain a lot...

- You want midwives?

- No, I want my favourite doctor with me, on top of the midwives; they could play nurses or something...

- You know midwives actually went to medical school?

- Yes, I know, I read a lot about them, they're as much as competent as you doctors... can you arrange for that?

- You have to book them in advance

- I know... but I didn't think I would in Chicago for the birth of the baby...

- The princess in you is expecting to be served right away and get favours...

- I'm sure that the charming doctor you are will not have any trouble to find midwives ready to help your wife bring you little prince to the world...

Terry smiled/ He was as a matter of fact thinking about asking for a favour...

- We could arrange for that... you want to do it in the water again?

- The transition is less brutal for the child...

- You don't need to tell me that, but I never would've imagined that you had done that with Esther...

- That's true. We never had the occasion to talk ever since I've told you that Esther was our daughter...

- That was the most beautiful present you made e. Our separation was bearable because of her...

- I know what you mean, I assure you, said Candy smiling, that's why I told you the truth, so you could keep her...

- I would've kept her anyway...

- But by making her your daughter, you could legally have her, without a problem

- True...

- Do you have French schools in Chicago?

- Yes... you still want Esther in French school?

- It would a pity for her to lose her French, don't you think so?

- As a matter of fact and I'm happy she didn't lose her British accent, in fact, it depends who she's talking to...

- It's really funny to hear her with the American accent when she's talking to you...

- You're half American, princess, and I'm the British one! Said Terry smiling

- Well yes, Mr. American, your accent is absolutely dreadful! She said smiling

- Yet, I still managed to charm you...

- With your accent?

- I caught you crying...

- And you never threw that in my face when we were arguing. You a good guy...

- You were trying to play the tough gal while you were a nice girl

- And you like nice girls, don't you?

- I liked deciphering you, at first I couldn't figure you out... I was completely lost me...

Candy had a beautiful smile.

- How long until we get to Chicago?

- By car? At least 11 hours if we don't stop a lot

- You know I will need to go pee...

- We're going to make it...

- I trust you...

The arrangements were made for the long car drive. Esther was happy to travel with her mummy and daddy. Terry had rented a trailer so that Candy could be able to lie down and sleep the way she wanted to. She had little Esther with her, Terry had also hired a driver so that he could spend time with Candy in the back.

- Your American roads are absolutely dreadful! Said Candy

- They do move a lot...

- Well, it's going to make Billy come faster, said Candy

- Princess, what are you not telling me?

- Nothing...

- Out with it...

- Well since a little while ago, I think I lost my mucus top...

- You think? How long ago?

- Four or five hours, I don't know anymore...

- Candy! Said Terry, you can't say that! I rented a trailer so we wouldn't have to stop for pee all the time...

- I didn't pay attention; it was a little pinkish colour... I'm sorry...

- Calm down... I'm going to make arrangements in the meantime...

He took his cellphone and started making calls to a lot of people. An hour later, Jones and Ashley were on the phone to tell him that everything was ready for their arrival...

- Great...

- You're not out of the woods yet, my princess...

- I know, you have to call the midwives at 4 1 1...

- Every four minutes that last a minute for about an hour?

- It's great to talk to a doctor; they understand everything without having to spell it out...

- Are you ok, mummy? Said Esther, you're going to have Billy?

- Yes, but not right away... in a few hours...

- All right, I'm going to pray everything goes well

- Thank you honey, said Candy smiling

- Now, get some rest mummy, said Esther lying down near her...

They fell asleep, all three holding each other until they got to Chicago. Terry had a mansion in the Chicago suburb. Terry took Candy in the house carrying her in his arms just to cross the threshold, but also to take her to the master bedroom...

- Sapphire eyes, this room is absolutely magnificent!

- Thank you Princess, because it's also your room...

- Your mansion is beautiful...

- It doesn't look like your castle...

- A mansion if fine by me, said Candy, a castle, I've had that already...

- You're sure? Because I can find one for you if you want to...

- And certain! She said smiling

- Now, you sleep, Billy is going to be on his way soon

- Yes...

- I'm going to do take the stuff out of the car... get some rest.

- Where's Esther?

- She's in her room, I'm going to tell her to come and stay with you...

He didn't have the time to get to the door; they heard knocking and Esther came in.

- Are you all right mummy?

- Yes, I'm fine honey

- Can I stay with you for a while?

- Until I'm ready to go to the delivery room...

- To have the baby? Asked Esther

- Yes...

- Can I see ...?

- You can see the baby after sweetie, you can't see your mummy when she's having the baby

- Why?

- Because little girl mustn't see that, said Terry

Jones had arranged for one of the room to be the delivery room for the water birth. A big pound was installed in one of the guest room. They had put all the material connected to the computer.

- I'm going to go see if everything is fine said Terry, can I leave you?

- Yes, honey, said Candy smiling

- I'll take care of her daddy, said little Esther

- And I trust you completely, my little dolly!

Terry got out of the room to make sure everything is fine; He went to get Esther for her lunch.

- Good see your nanny, honey, said Terry

- All right, said Esther, are you going to be fine, mummy?

- I'm going to be fine sweetie

The little girl got out of the room to go find her nanny for her snack.

- Are you ok? Asked Terry

- Time is not going fast enough for me...

- That's good; you don't want it to go too fast...

- Yes, doctor

- Sleep a little, said Terry, I'll come back later.

He got out of the room and found the whole gang in the living room.

- How is it going' Asked Jones

- She's asleep, said Terry

- A home birth, said Ashley, she's capricious your sweetheart

- She did it with Esther and she liked it, said Terry

- I thought it was so the press wouldn't learn she had a baby

- Yes, and she liked it... the house is another environment, Hospitals are different, we're a little stressed and everybody's stress... at home, she will be the only patient...

- That's what I said, continued Ashley capricious...

Terry looked at her smiling. Ashley will always hate Candy because he chose her... they continued talking and they ate a light snack. Terry's cell phone made a sound; he had just received a message.

- I'll be right back, said Terry leaving the living room

- Capricious, said Ashley

- Ashley, stop it! Said her sister, let him spoil her, he couldn't do it for Esther...

- And whose fault is that?

- She saved your company, said Patrick

- And she's a saint on top of that? Said Ashley

Terry went upstairs and he found Candy standing...

- My water just broke

Terry ran to her.

- Sit down honey...

- But the bed...

- We're going to change the bedding, but sit down...

- But...

She lost her water again.

- The carpet!

- We're going to have it clean...

He took care of her and she changed and he took her to the delivery room they had prepared, there was a double bed and Candy when to lie down on it.

- I have to be patient, I know, she said, I know...


She was starting to have little contractions, spaced out... Terry came to stay wi3th her and was making her feel better, he was massaging her feet and her back... Candy forgot about the pain sometimes. When the contractions became closer and stronger, they called the midwives. They took everything in charge; all Terry had to do was be the daddy...

- Terry, said Candy, thanks for being there this time around...

- There is no other place I would rather be my darling... it's going to be fine, you can do it...

Everything was fine, the baby's heartbeat was normal and he came out easily in the warm water waiting for him. The transition was less brutal, giving that the baby was in the water in the belly, coming out in the water was something natural, He didn't scream like another babies who are born out of the water. Terry cut the umbilical cord and he had tears in his eyes. He son was chubby and was crying quietly. He took him in his arms and kissed him on the forehead.

- You are so beautiful, he said, with tears in his eyes, hello you! Hello Billy!

Candy was tired, she looked at him smiling.

- You want to see mommy? Said Terry to the baby...

He took the baby to Candy who was still in the pound...

- Look mommy, he said

- You're handsome like an angel, my darling

The midwives took her out of the pound and they took care of her. They took Candy back to the master bedroom and Terry followed them. She sat on the bed; the midwives had arranged pillows so that she could lean on it. Then Terry gave her the baby.

- Hello you! Hello Billy! I'm your mummy! You're handsome like daddy!

- Yes, he took my pretty face! Said Terry laughing

He approached her and kissed her on the lips.

- Thank you my love , he said tenderly

- Thank you for being there for me, my sweetheart, said Candy smiling

- I love you

- Not more than me...

Esther arrived and she was glad to see her little brother.

- Billy! OH my God! He's so cute! Thank you mummy, thank you daddy! Now we're going to get married!

They all burst out laughing!
