Another Life

Chapter 22

Rhys kept his promise and attended every doctor's appointment with me he is really excited about becoming a father. Rhys and I are at the doctor's office to find out the sex of the baby. The doctor came into the room and closed the door I laid back on the table the doctor did an ultrasound. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Natas, you are having a baby girl!!!" the doctor announced. 

Rhys kissed my cheek I looked at him and smiled I sat up on the table. After Rhys and I left the doctor's office we climbed inside the car he put the key in the ignition and started the engine and drove away. 

"Darling would you like to go baby shopping?"

"Yes," 

Rhys drove to the baby store he turned left and entered the parking lot Rhys parked the car and killed the engine. We climbed out of the car and walked inside the baby store Rhys and I were greeted by a saleswoman. Rhys and I picked out a crib, pacifiers, blankets, car seats, stroller, clothes, bottles, highchair, diapers, diaper bag, bibs, and toys. After we left the store Rhys went to get the car, he parked in front of the store I climbed into the car while Rhys loaded up the car he climbed into the car and drove away.

"When we get home I'll put the crib, stroller, and highchair together." Rhys said, stopping at a red light. 

"I can't wait until we tell your parents." I smiled. 

When we arrived home Rhys parked the car in the driveway and killed the engine, I unzipped my purse and dug out my keys. We climbed out of the car I walked across the lawn and walked up the porch steps I opened the storm door and unlocked the storm door. I opened the door and walked inside the house I returned my keys to my purse I zipped my purse and sat my purse on the hallway table. I removed my jacket and hung it up I walked into the kitchen I opened the door to the fridge and took out a bottle of water I heard Rhys enter the kitchen. 

"Baby, I'll be upstairs if you need me." 

"Would you like some help?" 

"You can put our daughters' clothes and toys away." He said. 

Rhys and I left the kitchen we walked upstairs I followed Rhys into the nursery I noticed the room was already set up for baby minus the furniture. 

"Rhys, why is the room already decorated for a baby?" 

"Emily decorated the room and never told me I found it after she died. If you don't like it we can use a different room instead." 

The room is painted a light purple with cream-colored curtains and Winnie The Pooh wall stickers on the walls. 

"No, it's fine." I said. 

Rhys put the crib together while I put the baby clothes and bibs away in the dresser, I left the room and walked downstairs. I walked into the living room I grabbed the remote off the coffee table I turned on the TV.

"Darling, where are you?" 

"I'm in the living room," 

Rhys came into the living room he joined me on the couch and kissed my cheek. 

"How are you feeling?" He asked. 

"I feel fine." I replied, gently rubbing my growing stomach. 

Later on, that night Rhys and I were getting ready for bed we climbed into bed I reached over and turned off the lamp. I felt the baby kick I reached over and grabbed Rhys's hand and placed it on my stomach. 

"She's an active little thing."

"She sure is," 

He leaned down and kissed my stomach Rhys and I kissed each other good night we went to sleep.
