Chapter 25: Difficulties

Could I really do this? I was sweating now, but I knew I'd be cold in a few minutes. My feet were swelling. I was constantly nauseated, but always hungry.

I looked up at my ceiling and ran my hand over my swelling belly.

"You better hurry up because this hurts like hell." I muttered. "What do you wanna be named, baby? You're a Lange, so I know you're gonna be an amazing person, so we gotta name you something that's meaningful. Not just a stupid random name."

"You're gonna be a Lange too." My mother breathed. "Soon. We have the wedding planned. In May. I did May because that was the month you and Kyle started dating. Is that okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just nervous. I mean, the baby, the wedding."

"Calm down. Nerves aren't good for the baby."

"I-I don't know what to do. What if I can't do this?"

"You can. I know you can. You're my strong girl and she'll be yours."

"Mom, when's my baby shower?" I questioned.

"Umm... didn't plan one yet. When do you want it to be?"

"Soon."

"Alright. Sit down. You look exhausted. I'll make you something to eat."

I smiled gently at her and laid down and took a deep breath.

"Vi?" Kyle asked as he walked into the room. "You alright?"

"Yeah. Tired."

"Cold?"

I nodded and he pulled a blanket over me, kissing my forehead.

"Hungry?"

"Mom's got it." I mumbled.

"Aww, come on! That's my job."

"No. You need to relax too. You've been out buying shit all week. What do you want to eat, Kyle?"

"You really don't have to-" Kyle began.

"Just sit down and answer me."

"Whatever you're making Vi."

"Alright."

"Thank you." Kyle and I called in synch.

"Anytime. Now rest."

Kyle held my hand and sat down next to me. I rested my head on his shoulder. We watched some TV, ate, and then eventually fell asleep.
