~ One month later~
It's now been a month and things couldn't be better. My family has now moved here to Florida making life much easier for me, and worry free. What more could I ask for? As for me and this child, he's due any day now, making Nick and I so excited, but yet scaried at the same time. It's normal to feel this way, who wouldn't be scaried about a situation like this? Just as long as everything turns out right, I'll be happy.
"Nick honey, you don't have to stay here and watch me every min. You have a life too." I said as I made my way downstairs.
"You are my life, and I want to be here with you just in case you go into labor." he said.
"I'm sure it's not going to happen today."
"You never know, it could be any min. And I want to be here to guide your every move."
"Nick that's very sweet of you, but I'm fine. Go out and have fun. Why don't you and Brian go play basketball or something. And if anything happens I'll be sure to call you."
"I don't know Denise, even the doctor said I should keep a close eye on you, and going out is the last thing I want to do right now."
"Ok, if you want to stay, then that's fine. I just wish you wouldn't watch me so closely. I can take care of myself Nick," I said.
"I know, but you know me, and you know how much I love you."
"Yes, I know how much you love me."
"So you really think today isn't the day?" he asked.
"I'm positive. He's been really calm lately."
"I bet you wish this was all over with, huh?"
"Oh yeah, I'm so ready for this to be over that it's not even funny."
"Say that again. I didn't understand a word you just said."
"Oh Nick, you so silly." I laughed.
"I know I am," he said, brushing his lips accross mine.
It seems as if Nick is more excited about this more than I am. Too bad he can't be the one to go through with this. Man. I'll tell you, they have it made in life where they don't go through anything like us women. That is so unfair that we have to go through so much. But that's how God made it. Oh well, that is something I just have to get us to. I wonder what it's going to be like once I see our son's face for the first time. The feeling of joy, thankfulness to God, and relief for me that is. Just the feeling of holding our son in our arms is something I can't wait for. I wish so much that he was already here. Not a day goes by that Nick doesn't say what he wants to teach our son. He'll ever say, I can't wait till I can take him out on my boat and go fishing, or I can't wait till he can one day be able to play basketball.
I just smile at him and think to myself, do I really make him this happy? Yes, why wouldn't I make him happy? When I look into his eyes, I see a future filled with happiness, and joy. It's funny how most girls want Nick, but can't because he wants me.
"If it's alright with you, I'm going to go the store." he said.
"It's fine with me only if you bring me back an ice cream."
"Anything for my soon to be wife." he said placing a kiss on my forehead.
"Hurry back, I don' want my ice cream to melt."
"No problem."
I watched as he made his way out the door and out of my sight. It's so sweet how he always asks me how I'm doing or if I need anything. I don't ever recall anyone ever saying something like that to me other than my parents. If there was one word to sum up my love for Nick it would be neverending. I don't think our love will ever fade. What I believe is even when we're old and holding each other, we'll still have that same love we've always had for each other.
That's what true love is. Something that everyone wishes they had.

"So how are you feeling?" Nick asked.
"For the millionth time today, I'm fine Nick."
"I'm sorry, just making sure your doing alright."
"I'll be sure to tell you if anything is wrong."
"Ok, got it."
"Great."
"So what did you parents have to say?"
"Nothing much, just checking up on me like you've been doing," I said.
"You see, I'm not the only one is worried about you."
"I know that, I'm just getting tired of everyone asking me every min. how I'm doing."
"If you like, I won't ask you anymore today."
"That would be great, not to be mean or anything, but I'd like that very much."
"Ok, if that's what you want, it's fine with me," he said.
"Thanks for understanding. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to be heading to bed now, I'm pretty tired," I said making my way upstairs.
"I'll join you, I'm beat."
While making our way upstairs, Nick placed his hand in mine and brought it up to his mouth and kissed it. He always knows what to do to make a girls heart melt. Little things like that make me fall more and more in love with him. Things such as these make me wonder how much life is worth living.
"Good night honey," he said.
"Good night Nick," I said, as we soon fell fast asleep in each others arms.
As the night passed on, I came to find that something was wrong. I stepped out of bed to go get a drink of water to see if maybe that's what I needed. I dare not to tell Nick about this, he'll probably freak out and take me to the hospital. It's funny how certain things such as these can scare you extremely. I don't know why.
I grabed a glass from the cupboard and pour half a glass of water in it. While taking a little sip, I soon felt a sharp pain in my lower back causing me to drop my glass where it shattered in hundereds of pieces.
"Denise, what's wrong?!" Nick said running down the stairs.
"Nick, I think it's time!" I said in pain.
"Ok, don't panic, just have a sit, and I'll go get everything set," he said as he made he way upstairs.
