Roses Diary [S.M]

Ink it

It's 3 weeks after my gender reveal and life is slowly but surely starting to get normal again. I think the shock of me being pregnant is slowly starting to wear off.

Of course, paparazzi is still trying to take pictures of me whenever I go outside of the gates of the gated community we are living in but as long as I stay in my secure neighborhood, I am fine to go wherever.

"Come on Lou." I say to my little ball of fur as I open the front door, to get today's mail.

Immediately the warm, clammy climate of LA hits me in the face. Thank God we have airconditioning in the house, otherwise I don't know how I am going to survive this pregnancy, since I am already hot all the time. This baby is doing weird things to my body.

Today I have hit the mark of 18 weeks pregnant and my baby bump is really starting to get noticeable. I swear, last week my bump wasn't as big as when I looked in the mirror this morning. When you see me, there is no doubt anymore if I am pregnant. It's very clear. I, fortunately, have passed that uncomfortable stadium of my pregnancy and a firm, round belly has made its entrance. Which I am thankful for.

Shawn and I have been for 5 weeks now and to be honest, nothing have really changed. We are still the same couple as we were before we got married. Or maybe we always behaved like an old married couple. Who knows. The only time I am reminded to it, is when I have an doctors appointment and they are calling my name or when I go out to get the mail and see Rose Mendes on my mail, instead of Williams, but other than that, life has been the same.

We are happy. Excited for what is coming. Shawn had to switch from referring the baby as her to him, but once he got used to hit, he has been over the moon with the fact that his first born is going to be a boy. He still wants a daughter, don't get me wrong, but when I reminded him that he was going to have an alley, when fighting off any potential future boyfriends, he proposed to first have at least 5 boys, before any girls could come join the family. He sometimes go little overboard with his protectiveness.

"Lou! Stop that." I yell to her as she is chasing some birds. Not that she is a killer or anything but she likes the chase. The last thing I want is for her to accidentally catch a bird and I have to take it away from her. As we all know, me and blood aren't the best of friends.

She turns her head to me and I swear, if she could, so would have rolled her eyes at me. She has her mommy's attitude.

I shake my head and laugh softly at her, as I walk over our driveway towards the mail box.

I love how our house is at a side street, so there aren't much cars passing our house. It's perfectly quiet and peaceful here.

"Hey girl!." My thoughts are interrupted by the voice of Megan, my neighbor. You remember?

"Hey."- I smile back at her as I watch a driver put her suitcase in the back of the car. "Going on a trip?."

"I am going to fly to Chicago for a couple of days to spend some quality time with Jackson."

"O that's nice."- I respond at the same time as I take the mail out of the mail box. "Sounds like fun."

"Yeah, we need it.."- she smiles sadly, but recovers almost immediately. "How is it going with the little fella?." She says as she stares at my bump.

Yes, although Shawn and I have decided to not tell everyone the sex of the baby, I had to tell her. Well, of course I didn't had to but I wanted to. I have learned that when Shawn and I were on our honeymoon, she went to a party and Isabella was there, talking shit about us and spreading rumors about her and Shawn that were not true. Out of everyone who was there, including people who call us their friends, she was the only one who stood up for us and flicked her off. So yeah, I think I can say that she is a friend.
