We walked out of the store and towards the SUV.
We were on our wa home when William got a call.
"How may I help you, Sebastian?" He asked bit annoyed.
"Fine, but please be on your best behaviour, she is not feeling well." He said and I had a feeling they were talPotter about me.
"Nothing is wrong...I will see you in a few minutes...bye." He cut the call.
"The guys want to see you...are you sure you are okay because I can tell them not to visit." He asked, concerned etched his features.
"I am fine, besides I haven't seen them in so long." I said as felt another pang of pain. I winced as I just lot but like the other times it was gone. "Helen! Are you okay? I really think we should go to the hospital." William said a bit panicked. "No William, I am fine, it is just the baby kicPotter." I honestly didn't know myself what it was.
"If this happens again, I am going to take you to the hospital, no matter what you say." He said, his tone saying that was his decision and he will not change it.
The rest of the drive home was filled with William asPotter how I was every 2 minutes but soo we reached the house. "Looks like they never arrive yet." William said as he helped me out of the car.
I shrugged."Maybe they will come later."
We walked into the house and William helped me to the living room before he left to get me something to drink.
I kicked of my shoes, took off the jacket before finding a comfortable position to rest in. "I asked Jesse to get you a glass of fresh orange juice. Is that okay?" William said as he handed me the glass. I drank the juice and gave him the cup, which he placed on the coffee table.
He switched the TV on and sat down beside me, putting his arm around me and I snuggled into his chest. Halfway through some random movie that was on William spoke up.
"Helen?" I hummed a response.
"You need to look at me." He said and I picked my head up to look at him.
"Yes William?"
"If there is anything wrong, even if it is the slightest thing, please tell me." I frowned at his sudden statement but realised that he is just worried.
"Don't worry love, I will let you know." I said with a small smile before I placed a kiss on his lips. "Thank you, if anything happened to anyone of you I don't know what I will do, especially if it is you." He said softly. I hugged him just to give him some assurance that nothing will happen to me or our baby. Our little moment was interrupted by the guys walPotter in.
"Helen!!" They yelled.
"Volume!" William warned.
"Sorry..." They said in a lower voice.
"It is okay guys, I missed your'll." I smiled and they smiled back coming and placing a kiss on my cheek. "We heard that you are not well. Is everything fine?" Anthony asked concerned.
"Everything is fine." I gave them a reassuring smile.
"How many months along?" Eric asked.
"8 months." I answered.
"1 more month and then our nephew is born!" Sebastian exclaimed.
"How do you know its a boy?" I asked them knowing that it is a girl.
"Helen, how many times are we going to argue about this?" Dylan asked shaPotter his head. "You should just find out what the gender is." Eric grumbled.
"We told you we wanted it to be a surprise." William said. "We all know that it is a boy..." Sebastian mumbled.
I winced as I felt yet another pain but this time it was worse than before and it didn't go away as before it stayed for a few seconds but then subsided. "That's it, I am taPotter you to the hospital!" William said worry evident in his voice.
"No William, it is just the baby kicPotter." I took his hand and placed it where the baby was kicPotter.
"I told that it hurts a little when the baby moves, it is nothing major." I said he sat back down, yet he didn't look like he was entirely convinced. "Please, Helen tell me, okay?" He begged softly.
"I will." I smiled softy at him.
After that we settled on watching a movie...
We were in the middle of watching the movie when I felt nauseous.
"William." I whispered to him, not wanting to disturb the guys as they were so engrossed in the movie. "Yes my love?"
"I need to go to the bathroom." I sad as he nodded.
He helped me up the stairs and I waddled my way to the bathroom.
I locked the door, and leaned against it before a wave of nausea hit and I found myself hunched over the toilet throwing up my lunch. I cleaned and went to the sink, garggargled before going back to the room.
"Why did you lock the door?" William asked as soon as I walked out.
"A force of habit William, don't worry." I smiled at him but he was hesitant before he finally decided to leave it.
He helped me down the stairs and we made our way to the living room and watched the rest of the movie...
It was the climax of the movie when I felt it...It was another pain, I tried to hide so that the guys could enjoy the movie. But another one hit after that, I winced, rubbing my stomach and another hit. I hissed slightly and rubbed my stomach trying to ease the pain, but it didn't work...I gasped as I felt such an excruciating pain that it get lik someone just shoot me.
"Helen." William tuned to me and his eyes grew. "What's wrong baby?! Tell me what's wrong?!" They all turned to me, panic evident on their faces.
I tried to talk but the pain so unbearable that I couldn't speak. "W-wil...h-he-lp." I cried as the pain grew. "We need to get her the hospita!" Anthony yelled.
"I will take her, you guys get her things and the baby's...it is all in the nursery, the matching grey and green bags!" William instructed as he lifted me up and rushed me outside to the car. He put me in the passenger seat before sprinting around and getting into the driver seat. The engine roared to life and we were off. "W-will-..."
"Shh, my love, we are almost there."
"T-th...b-ba...by..." I tried to say but the pain was so intense that I felt like someone was clawing at my stomach, trying to rip my baby out. I screamed out in pain, tears running down my face, as I prayed that nothing happens to my baby. Before I knew it the car came to a halt and I was being carried by William.
"Someone please help my wife!!" William yelled and a group of nurses rushed to us. "She is gone into pre-mature labour!! Take her to surgery now!!" I heard a familiar voice say. I was put onto a bed and rushed into a room. William telling me that everything will be fine. "And push."
I did what I was told...feeling drained after it.
"You are doing great my love." William said placing a kiss on my forehead.
"Okay one last push and this baby will be out." The doctor said.
Epilogue
"Mommy!! Mommy!!" Tatiana squealed as she ran over to me her braided brown hair bouncing up and down as she ran. I picked her up and set her on my hip. "Yes my baby, how may I assist you?" I said and she laughed.
"Do I look pwety?" She asked and I smiled.
"You look very beautiful, my love." I cooed and kissed her cheeks.
"Thank you mommy." She and kissed my cheek. "Jesse did my bwaids."
"She did it very nice." I smiled.
"Tatiana!" William's voice sounded through the house before his heavy footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. "Mommy, hide me!" She squealed and hid her face in my neck. I laughed at her cute reaction. "Tatiana Serafina Alexander. I was looPotter everywhere for you." He said sternly as he walked up to us. "I told you I was going to mommy." She defended and he shook his head. "Fine. Are you ready to go?" He asked and she nodded. "Are you ready to go "Yes, just go get Tati's bag, while I take her to the car." I said and he nodded. "Do I get a kiss before I go?" He asked with a smirk. As he leaned in, Tatiana pushed his face away. "You don't kwiss my mommy!" She scolded. " Only I can kwiss my mommy."
"Now you stealing my wife?! First my phone and now my wife?!" He said shaPotter his head in disbelief. "Who am I going to kiss now?" Tatiana looked like she was thinPotter before her face lit up.
"You can kwiss me!" She squealed and we laughed.
"Okay fine, I'll kiss you but be careful I got cooties." He jokd and placed a kiss on her cheek and then her forehead.
"Now mommy is sad, because I kissed you and I didn't give her a kiss." He gestured to me, his blue eyes swirling with amusement. "Then I will gwive mommy a kwiss." Tatiana said before she kissed my cheek.
William narrowed his eyes and I smirked at him before shrugging and walPotter off.
I heard him huff before he stomped away. I grinned as I walked out of the house and towards the car, hand in hand with Tatiana. "Mommy..." Tatiana aid softly.
I glanced at her. "Yes my baby?"
"Are you and daddy going to tell evweyone about the bwayby?" She asked softly and I frowned a little, confused by what she meant.
"Yes, sweetie. Why you asPotter?" I just hope that she doesn't feel neglected, or anything about her doubting our love for her.
"It nothing mommy." She answered and I respected that. After all she is just a child and she herself probably does not know wha she is feeling. We reached the car just as William appeared holding her bag.
"Your bag, my princess." He bowed and gave Tatiana her bag.
"Daddy! You so weird!" She giggled.
His laugh was deep and velvety, he picked her up and kissed her cheek, maPotter her giggle.
Even after 3 years of being married, William managed to make me fall in love with him everyday, for all the littlest of things.
"I know I am hot and all, but babe, I thought you would get used to all this." He smirked as he gestured to himself.
"Shut the fuck up, jackass." I glared at him and he laughed. "You will never change..." He smiled and shook his head. "That is what I love about you, never change baby, especially your feistiness, that just makes things more exciting." He wrapped his arms around me, his eyes darkening.
I forgot about the fact that I am supposed to be angry with him but whenever he has his arms around me, I forget about everything.
"You better get going before Tati, sees us." I said as I pushed him away from me. He mouthed 'this-isnot-over' before he opened the door for me and I got in.
He closed the door and jogged around to the driver's side. He got ad the engine roared to life before we were off. "They are here!!" We heard someone from inside the house shout.
It was not long before everyone, came outside to greet us.
William took Tatiana out of her car seat while I carried her bag.
"It's about time you 3 arrived." William's grandmother announce.
"We got caught in traffic." I answered and she came to hug me.
"I will let's this one slide but only for today, since I haven't seen y'all in so long." She said. "
"Serafina,
"Alessandro, what is your problem? Just because you married and have a
"The food is getting cold, and I don't like to eat my food when it's cold." Uncle Franklin grumbled andmy fahr seconded that. We all went inside and sat the abnormally large table that was laid out.
Everyone was there and when I say everyone, I mean everyone.
Now that I think about it I never met William's mother's side of the family, only his father's side... I have to ask him about that. The food was served and soon everyone was eating. The table was filled with laughter and people talPotter...
After eating and playing some games with the family, they all went their separate ways, the older men were at the bar, the older women were in the kitchen as for the young people they were outside.
"William..." I called out to him.
"Yes my love?"
"I never met your mother's side of the family, only your father's side." I started and he tensed. "Let's leave it at that okay?" He said and I nodded.
We walked outside to where the guys were playing soccer.
William went by the guys and joined the girls. The rest of the day was spent like that before everyone was called inside so we could give them the news.
"Okay everyone, settle down, so we can hear what Helen and William have to tell us." Rosa said clapping her hands to get everyone's attention.
Everyone was silent and stared at us with anticipation. William cleared his throat, indicating that he was about to speak.
"So we have been planning to tell you all for a couple months now but we didn't know what reaction you all will have to this-" He was cutoff by Selene
"Oh My God!! Y'all are getting a divorce!! I knew this was too good to be true!!" Selene gasped and fake sobbed. "Relax Sel, we are not getting a divorce." William said and she threw a pillow at him. "Then hurry up and tell us, before I make anymore assumptions!" She grumbled.
"Ignore William and his poor presentation of this news. Since today is such a joyous ad fun day for the family and since everyone is present, we thought that this is the perfect opportunity to say that there is a new addition t the family." I said and they blinked, looPotter like they were trying to process the information.
"What?" They blinked again.
"We are having another baby..."
