Always

Chapter 149

Colby and I waited went to my check up, and the doctor said that everything was still good, but he thankfully gave me some medication for that awful heartburn. My mom told me that it means that the baby will have a head full of hair. I remember feeling that burn in my chest, staring at Colby's hair and silently cursing him for it. We invited Sam and Kat over to ask them to be the God Parents. Honestly, I was nervous, and I think Colby was too. He kept pacing the floor, waiting on them come over. "Will you sit down?" I snapped at him, not meaning too. "You're making me even more anxious." He looked at me apologetically and came to sit next to me. I took his hand in mine and started playing with his rings. "It'll be fine. Even if they don't wanna do it, we'll just find someone else. This is just precautionary anyways. Nothing is going to happen to us. We won't really need the God Parents." He nodded, but didn't say anything. The doorbell rand and Colby jumped up, but Sam opened the door before he got to it. "Hey man, what was so urgent that we had to come over?" Colby looked at him like he was stupid. "I did not say that it was urgent. I just asked you guys if you could come over so we could talk." Sam laughed. "I know. Just messing with ya." They both walked to the couch and sat down, Colby following behind them. "So what's up? Is something wrong?" "No, nothing's wrong. I-" He started, but looked at me, "We have something to ask you." Sam shrugged, and Kat smiled. "So ask." She replied. Colby took a deep breath and took my hand again. "So...we wanted to know if you two would be interested in being Noah's...God Parents? I mean, if you don't want to, that's completely fine. We would understand, it's just that--" Colby was rushing his words together but Sam stopped him. "Brother, shut up. Of course I will. You already know. Kat?" He looked over to her, his eyebrows raised. A slow grin crossed her face and she looked over to me. "Absolutely! I would love to be his God Mother...but wait, what does that mean, exactly?" I laughed at her confused expression. "It basically means that if anything were to happen to Colby and I, you guys are agreeing to take Noah in and raise him as your own. Hopefully, that never happens, but we just knew that we wanted to ask you guys. Couldn't think of anyone better." "Awww," Kat pretending to wipe a tear but her eyes did look a little glassy. We all stood up and hugged. "Thanks man. I'm honored." Sam said, gripping Colby's back. "Yeah, of course dude. There is no one else I'd rather ask."  We celebrated with sparkling cider that Colby got out of the fridge and sat around talking for a while. My days seemed to fly by, hanging out with my friends, going to doctor's appointments, spending time with Colby. He was getting busier and busier with the duo channel, though and was gone a lot of the time. I went shopping with the girls for maternity clothes. I couldn't put it off any longer. My belly and boobs just wouldn't stop growing. I almost couldn't see my feet now and I felt like I was starting to waddle instead of walk. Colby called me his little penguin just to annoy me, I think. Pretty sure that I caught him recording me trying to get up off of the couch one day to go to the bathroom before he got up to help. Colby finally got a day where he could go with me and we bought everything we needed for a nursery. We were a little late getting started on it, but oh well. Our friends came over and helped paint the walls, put the crib together, and set everything else. I hadn't realized how much you actually needed with a baby. Changing table, play pen, crib, diapers, clothes, mittens, hoods, blankets, gas drops, and so much more. The list that my mom had sent me was filled with all sorts of things. I was really starting to get nervous. I had no clue what to do with babies, so how was I going to be a good mom to my own? Colby would lie in bed with me at night, and try to sooth my fears. "You're going to be an amazing mother." He said one night as I lay on my back, his arm sprawled over my huge belly. I couldn't lay on my stomach anymore at all, barely on my side. "How do you know?" I asked him, twisting his hair though my fingers. "Because you have so much love to give. I've never met anyone more caring and full of love. Noah is just going to be so loved, it will be overflowing out of his pores." I giggled, at his words, but then sighed. "Love doesn't tell me how to take care of a baby tho Colby. I'm scared and it's just getting closer and closer." He leaned up on his arm and met my gaze. "I'm scared too. This is going to be a new experience for both of us, but we will get through it. You're mom will be here soon, we have all of our friends, my mom will fly out afterwards...we have each other." He took my hand and brought it to his lips, pressing them softly against my knuckles. "We can do this baby. We can do anything as long as we have each other. I promise you. When the time comes, you'll be such a natural that you won't even know why you were worried to begin with." He was always so good at calming me down, even from the beginning with my panic attacks. I didn't have those much anymore. My due date was now in 3 weeks. My mom was supposed to be here next week. I couldn't wait to see her again. I fell asleep, snuggling into Colby as much as my belly would allow. I shifted in my sleep, feeling an uncomfortable wetness against the lower part of my body.
