---------------------------

childbirth is a truly beautiful thing. it's magical, wonderful, brings a new life into the world.

yes, i've been told all these things while being pregnant. also yes, i agree that it's beautiful. but the entire process hurts like hell. 

i'm only a little over 3 months pregnant. being a productive person kinda sucks when your pregnant. especially when that pregnancy wasn't supposed to happen in the first place.

i stirred the pan on the oven that held the grilled chicken and stir fry as i felt a pain shoot through my lower abdomen. 

i ignored the pain, blaming my own petite-ness for the baby causing the pain. i carried on with my actions, placing the jello in the fridge to set a bit more before matthew got home from set.

normally, i would be able to go to work with him, but ever since i hit 2 1/2 months i haven't been able to go many places without feeling the pain in my stomach.

every time he had to go away for a while to shoot a movie or a few episodes of criminal minds, he would always feel so ashamed to leave me behind, even if it was for work. he would call me multiple times a day and fall asleep on facetime with me so i wouldn't feel as alone. 

the pregnancy was already wreaking havoc on my body and i've barely made it past the first term. that's another reason why he's always calling me, to make sure i haven't died yet. he's even scheduled each call periodically.

since i haven't been able to really go anywhere i've been doing as much as i can around here. i would dust, sweep, mop, wipe the counters, cook, then clean up after i cook, and anything else i could think of.

after closing the fridge, i felt another pain in my stomach, this one more severe. i sat down at the dining room table for a second to make sure everything was okay. once i caught my breath for a second i got back up and walked over to the stove to turn it off and stir the food.

before i knew it, i fell to the floor beside the stove, barely able to see. gradually, everything went black.

MATTHEW'S POV

yes, i call her every hour. 

of course i do.

she's my wife, and pregnant with a miracle baby. 

the doctor said she was lucky to get pregnant, and that she needed to take things easier during the next nine to ten months. the thing is... she's the most stubborn busybody i've ever met, another reason why i fell in love with her. she's always on 'go-mode. on a normal day, she would be doing everything around the house, even against my wishes.

but i also knew how much we both wanted children. i've always been pretty good  with kids, and Y/N's dreamt of being a mother since she was a little girl. when we found out we might have trouble getting pregnant and staying that way, we felt heartbroken.

she felt as if she had failed me as a wife, which is so far from the truth i was shocked she felt that way. sure, we bonded on our love for children when we first began our friendship on set, but nothing would ever make me think less of her. naturally, i ensured her that i loved her regardless and that there were other options.
