ELLAPOV

41 weeks

Norman's driving me nuts he's supposed to be concentrating on The Walking Dead but I'm a week past my due date, he was driving the producers nuts with constant looking at his phone and getting more distracted than usual so they sent him home from rehearsals and told him he wasn't allowed to come in until I have this baby. So he's now my problem thanks, guys. So we've been having sex like you wouldn't believe that that is ever a problem but it's not helping to bring her on and I'm so overeating curry and pineapple.

I'm still going to the shop every morning a five much to Norman's annoyance. But the baker Theresa's great and the girls I have in front are also great. It's not a problem but I'm making sure they do everything the way I do it.

"You know Ella I've got this you need to go home and relax."

"Theresa that's just it I can't do anything at home. Norman's hired a cleaner who comes in five days a week so I can't clean." Sitting here eating a cupcake.

"So you haven't been nesting?"

"No, he won't let me. All I can do is sit and watch television or read hence why I miss this place."

"Well, you need to leave Ella how are we ever going to make sure we can run the place if you're always here."

"True. Okay, I'll leave you after today. Ow dammit."

"What is it? The baby?"

"I don't think so. It was one hell of a kick that's for sure."

"Yeah she has been kicking a lot hasn't she."

"Yeah, that was a doozy."

"You sure it wasn't a contraction? You want me to call Norman."

"No, I'll be fine. It won't take long to get home then I can rest Ow."

"That was another one honey I think you're in labor."

"Oh god I know I was due last week but I'm not ready."

"You never are but your body knows what it has to do."

"Okay, I'm going to call Norman."

Ring ring...

"Baby, you okay?"

"I think it's time babe."

"Does Stella want to make an appearance?"

"Hey, she makes her own rules and does her own thing."

"Yep, she sure does. I'll be there you're at the bakery right?"

"Yeah, I am."

"I'll bring your bag and Mingus then come pick you up. Can I bring my camera?"

"Like I could stop you."

"Yeah if you didn't want photos I'd respect your wishes."

"No babe then that oh oh dammit."

"Is that another one?"

"No, I thought it would be fun to make the sounds and worry you."

"Oh yeah you're in labor I'll be there soon."

Dammit she's at the bakery, but yeah baby's coming I get to meet my girl or son.

"Come on Mingus we got to go like right now battle stations."

"Hey calm down anyone would think this was your first baby."

"It's my first girl."

"Maybe girl. Man you need to chill out dad it's not going to help Ella you're being all stressed out and having your underwear in a twist which I hope you are wearing it's her first it'll take a while we have plenty of time. Let's just get there safely."
