Free me (a shatter me fanfiction)

Eight months later

I wake up in the morning to Warner in the shower. He refuses to leave me alone now because the baby could come. I try to sit up but my bulging tummy makes that quite hard to do. When I finally manage to sit up in bed the baby starts to kick. It's like it can tell when I wake up and It jumps awake too. Arron comes through the door and gives me a light kiss on the cheek. "How are you feeling today love?" He asks "fine. I can't wait until the baby's born so I can actually get comfortable when I go to sleep" I reply. He starts to laugh then walks off into the closet. "I think it could be born this week. It's been a lot more active this past while" I say "that's good" he replies "I suppose so but I'm going to miss being able to skip to the front of the line for food because everyone's afraid if I stand up to long I'll pass out" I say. Warner laughs "you are the first person in twenty five years to be pregnant and living at base. I think their just worried for you." he says "I guess so" I say as Warner emerges from the closet. "I'm going to have a bath" I say as I struggle to get of the bed. Warner runs round to help. After managing to get out of bed I wander off to the bathroom.
After collecting our food we go and sit beside every one. I sit beside Paula. "How are you feeling this morning?" She asks as she prods at my stomach. "Fine" I reply. Paula only joined our group about six months ago. She is a doctor at the hospital and when I went for a scan Kenji asked her out. So they are very much a couple now. She lives here at base because the flat that she was staying in was falling down. She asks every morning how I'm feeling and she feels my stomach to check if the baby's head is in the right place. She is also the only person here who knows what gender the baby is but she said she won't tell us unless we want to know. Kenji comes and sits beside her and gives her a kiss. "How you feeling j?" He asks "good I think it could come this week. It's been kicking a lot lately" I reply "is that a good thing?" He asks his girlfriend "yeah I think you might be right Juliette. It's heads in about the right place." Paula says "excellent" Kenji says "I'll catch it if it falls out" he laughs. "Have you heard from Adam today?" I ask "yeah he called this morning. He says everything's fine and Nina's good and someone should call him When you go into labour he wants to be there. He can take my place cause I really don't want to be there" Kenji says. Paula hits him round the head "shut up" she says "okay sorry princess" he says. I start to laugh. Adam left base about a month ago. He moved in with his girl friend Nina. They met at a Christmas party last year and have basically been inseparable since. I'm so happy for him and I'm also happy he's not still hung up over me.
Warner and I walk back to the room. I wander into the adjoining room that will be our baby's room. We don't have much in here yet because we don't know the gender but we have a cot, a shelf , a changing table, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers. I can picture it covered in pictures and painted and full of toys but just now it looks a bit bare. Warner comes in to the room. The baby kicks very hard I grab on to the shelf and breathe heavily. Arron kneels to the floor beside me and gently kisses my stomach and the baby stops kicking "shhhh little baby shhhh" he whispers. "It's okay it's stopped" I say. He gets up off his knees and pulls me into his arms as far as I'll go and starts to sway me around. "Why are we dancing" I ask "because I felt like it" he replies. The radio starts to play and the song we danced to at our wedding comes on. I stare back at Warner. He smiles. I gently put my head on his shoulder. And we stay there swaying for a long time just swaying to the music.
After lunch Arron and I go out for a walk in the sun. We walk towards the park beside the beach and sit on a bench. "Are you looking forward to having the baby?" Arron asks as he stares of into the distance "what kind of question is that? Of course I'm looking forward to having a baby. Are you not?" I ask "of course I am. I just thought you've been so quiet this past while I was wondering if you changed your mind and you didn't want it any more" he says as he turns round and looks into my eyes. I rest my head on his shoulder and look towards the sea. "I haven't changed my mind this is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I've just been quiet because I'm tired. I can never really get comfy in bed and when I'm close to falling asleep I get a big kick in the stomach" I say "yeah sorry about that. I'm a rough sleeper" Arron says. I laugh gently "I'll be back to normal once I know the baby's healthy and well" I say "good" warner says and he gently kisses my head.
At dinner we start talking about James and Anna's wedding. He proposed to her on her twentieth birthday nearly three weeks ago. "I always wanted to be married in a church" Anna says "with stain glass windows" Winston chips in "yeah and red and white roses up the isles" Anna says "I just want to get married" James says. Anna turns round and kisses him on the lips. "You will as long as we do everything my way" Anna replies. James just laughs.
After dinner and getting into my pyjamas Warner and I start to flick through photo albums from the whole time we've been together. "I've got a present for you" he says and he hands me a white box with a gold ribbon tied around it. "Oh thank you" I say. I untie the bow and open the box. Lying in the box is a white, leather photo album with the words "Our baby" written in gold across the cover surrounded by a gold swirly border. I gently pick it up "oh Arron it's beautiful" i say "look inside" he says I gently open the cover and inside are two pictures of my baby scans. One from about six months ago and one from quite recently. "We can fill it with all the pictures of our baby. I thought you'd like it considering how many photo albums we already have filled" he says. I gently kiss him on the lips "thank you. It's just lovely" I say. "We'd better get to sleep its nearly twelve o'clock" Arron says "okay" I say. I pick up the photo albums and put them back into the drawer in my bedside table then snuggle down into the duvet and Arron turns the light out. I gently start to drift off to sleep then the kicking starts.
