STEF POV:
So Lena is now 12weeks pregnant, and my little fruitcake inside is growing rapidly. There's not a day that goes by that I don't talk to my little munchkin.
Flashback:
"Hello my little sweet cheeks, your 12 weeks now, that's 3 months out of the full 9. This is going so quick margarita. Shall I tell you today's story? Here it goes... once upon a time, your mama Lena moved into a block of flats where I lived, and I helped her with her boxes and my eyes fluttered madly for her. I've never seen anybody so beautiful. I was pretty sure I was straight until your mama convinced me otherwise. So we had a lot of rollercoaster rides through high moments and low, but together we fight everything, everything was against us, the whole universe threw signs at us that whatever we had wasn't right and everything was pulling us one step further back, but we didn't listen, we fought stronger than ever and got through it all, and we got married, went on vacations, bought our home, and became rewarded with you sweet little cookie. And now we're just waiting to hold your little fingers and kiss your bare soul feet, and run our finger over your soft baby skinned cheeks. Baby, I we love you so much, so continue to grow, continue to eat all the food mama is feeding down to you, and remain healthy little one, we will see you very soon, and our story officially starts when you arrive from your little temporary home inside, this is your home, with me and mama."
Lena took my face and kissed it so passionately as she listened deep to my story with tearful eyes of reminder of everything we had been through. I kept both my hands remaining on her stomach as I instantly felt monkey kicking my hands.
"Wow, did you feel that? That was a big one" Lena laughed pressing her hand on top of mine where baby kicked.
"I did, you be good in there monkey" I say to my little diamond directly to her stomach.
"She likes your voice" Lena smiles looking deep into my eyes.
I can never keep serious communication, I always ruin the moment with some sort of joke or sarcasm.
"Who doesn't? Huh? This little poppet doesn't have a choice, I don't shut up" I laughed as Lena laughed too.
End of flashback:
I lifted away from my daily conversation with my little cherub, and headed to my phone that had recently pinged.
It was a message from my mother : "Stefanie, it's your father. He's in the hospital"
I instantly didn't know how to even react to this message, so many questions ran through my head. Even though we didn't see eye to eye, and even though he didn't approve of me, I still needed to be there for him. He's my father and nothing will ever change that no matter what he thinks of me.
"What's wrong?" Lena asked as she seen tears running fast down my face.
"I-it's my father, he's in the h-hospital" I replied with the loss of control of my breathing due to the confusion and upsetting thoughts. Although I didn't know what had happened I was so worried. "I have to go" I said taking my coat and keys off the hangers by the door.
"I'm coming too" Lena said grabbing her coat. I smiled in return, because she wanted to support me no matter what and although she hasn't even met my father, she was willing to give him a chance. That's one thing I love about Lena, she can always give people another chance, and my father was one of them. Maybe I should too, give him a chance, I just need to explain everything and open his eyes to everything I see in her.
"Ok" I nod as we head to the car.
We travel straight to the hospital and race to the front desk. "I'm here for a frank foster, he's my father" as the nurse didn't bother looking up to me she typed away on her computer and shortly replied with "room 202, ward 3, floor 1" without even looking up to me, I left taking Lena's hand in mine, gripping it tighter than ever with fear of yet to come.
There it was, room 202. And there was my father, laying in the hospital bed with all sorts of wires connected to him, and my mother stood beside him with tears. Even though my mother and father broken up years ago, she loved him deep down and she knew it. She cared for him, she just wasn't IN LOVE with him anymore.
My father is the type of person to now show emotion or affection to anybody which is why everybody finds him so rude and disrespectful. In a sense I guess I'm like that too, I don't show emotions as much as I feel them inside me. I feel as if I need to act tough and strong but inside I want to crumble and break down sometimes. But seeing my father here, all I want to do is speak to him.
I open the door handle pushing the door wide forward with Lena along side of me my father looks straight into my eyes with sorrow.
"What the hell happened dad?" I ask with concern.
"Just a small heart attack, I'm fine" he groans remaining tough as usual.
"Dad, stop trying to be strong, you're clearly not fine. We're here for you dad, all of us" I said keeping hold of Lena's hand that my father looked towards seeing my shiny ring on my finger.
"I-I'm Sorry Stef, I'm sorry... I didn't come to your wedding. Congratulations" he says painfully taking Lena's hand away from mine looking at the ring and placing a soft kiss upon her hand as she smiles in return.
"There's something else we should tell you" Lena says as I pull her away instantly.
Its not that I don't want to tell him, it's more to the fact that he wasn't approval of my sexuality. He wasn't approval of me marrying a women, he wasn't approval of my lifestyle, and now he's on his death bed, he's practically creeping for forgiveness. He's just had a heart attack, I just don't think he's ready for this news yet.
"Lena, not yet, give it time" I whisper in the corner of the room. "He's not exactly approval of everything. He needs to know how much I love you and how much I've chosen the best life I could ever wish for, I just don't think he's ready to know yet"
"I understand" she replies kissing me quickly on the lips and returning back to the bed standing beside my mother hugging her softly. It's amazing how well she gets along with my mother and my father seen that. I think he is slowly beginning to realise how wonderful Lena is. And the sooner he realises this, the sooner we can tell him about his grandchild.
