Nine Months – By tiva_mcabby5

Just a quick one-shot about Linda and Danny and if they had another baby (which they should; that would be adorable) …This is told from the perspective of their baby, telling the story to Danny

PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT a mother and I am not pregnant. Therefore, I don't know that much about pregnancy and/or ultrasounds, etc. I'm a 15 year old writer, so please don't criticize me on any inaccuracies regarding that. Also, apologies for any spelling/grammar mistakes…I'm not perfect.

Six Weeks

Mommy told you about me today, Daddy. You were so happy. She met you at the station in the afternoon and you took her to a room to talk. You had happy tears in your eyes when you said, "A baby?" And Mommy nodded and you hugged and cried together. When you came out, Jackie asked what was up, but you told her you'd tell her when the time was right.

Eight Weeks

You saw me for the first time today. You held Mommy's hand the whole time. You said that it had been a long time since the last time you had done this – almost eight years, Mommy said. I was excited to meet my big brothers. The nice doctor printed out pictures of me for you and Mommy to keep, so you can look at me whenever you want to.

Ten Weeks

You're happy that I'm not making Mommy sick anymore, Daddy. This thing called "morning sickness" lasts all day, I guess. I really didn't mean to make Mommy sick.

It was Sunday dinner tonight. You finally told everyone about me. Grandpa wouldn't stop smiling. Aunt Erin gave you and Mommy hugs. Sean asked where babies come from, and I don't think he believed your story about some giant bird dropping me off on the doorstep.

Sixteen Weeks

I'm starting to make Mommy's tummy stick out a lot. You like to talk to me by putting your head really close to Mommy.

Mommy was really grouchy the other day and she made you sleep on the couch. But you love her anyways and early the next morning she came out and asked you to sleep in your bed with us.

Eighteen Weeks

You can feel me kick now! Sometimes Mommy will call you over and you'll put your hand on her tummy to feel me move around. I can hear what you say now, too. I like hearing your voice and Mommy's too.

You tell me lots of stories when Mommy's sleeping and you're still awake. Stories about our family and stories about me. Sometimes they're really funny!

Twenty Weeks

I'm making Mommy eat all sorts of funny foods. She always seems to want ketchup. Ketchup on everything. You bought a big bottle of it and labeled it "Mom's Ketchup" and put it in the fridge. She eats it on ham and cheese sandwiches, eggs, Hershey bars, broccoli…

Mommy also always wants watermelon. Sean even said that you and Mommy should name me "Watermelon"…Please don't do that, Daddy.

Twenty-Two Weeks

You took Mommy (and me!) out to dinner tonight. You went to your favorite Italian place and Mommy was really happy. Mommy loves to have smoothies, so you make them for her whenever she wants one.

Twenty-Four Weeks

Today, you went up into the attic and brought down things you'll need after I'm born. The crib that Sean and Jack used was up there, and so were the changing table and the bassinet. You brought them all down and cleaned them all, and then put them in the room that's going to be my nursery. You washed all of the onesies and towels and blankets you found (twice) and folded them all perfectly. Mommy's always really tired, so you do a lot of stuff for her, which she really likes, Daddy.

Twenty-Six Weeks

Mommy says I'm making her fat. But she still loves me, she says. You tell Mommy that she's beautiful and you love her and always will. Then, you give her a kiss and give me a kiss by kissing Mommy's tummy. I can't wait to meet you and Mommy, Daddy.

Twenty-Seven Weeks

Aunt Erin took me and Mommy shopping today. We bought a lot of things for me: diapers, wipes, lotion, soap, socks, and onesies, among other things. We got onesies that could work on a boy or girl, and we bought a couple of pink blankets (you and Mommy already have blue ones that you used for Sean and Jack).

Twenty-Eight Weeks

You and Mommy are trying to decide what to name me. My middle name is going to be Joseph if I'm a boy, but you have no idea if I'm a girl. You want to be surprised when I'm born, so you don't ask the doctor what I am.

Thirty Weeks

Even though she knows it's way too early, Mommy wants me to hurry up and get out already. She's crazy. It's warm in here.

Thirty-Two Weeks

Everyone has a bet going on if I'm a boy or a girl. Mommy, Aunt Erin, Jack, and Grandpa all think I'm going to be another boy. You, Uncle Jamie, Sean, Nicky, and Great-Grandpa Henry think I'm a little girl. Jackie just assumes she'll be wrong, so she doesn't put any money in. I like her, Daddy.

I sure hope this money is going into my college fund. If people bet on me, I should collect!

Thirty-Four Weeks

My nursery is all finished. The walls are light green and pale yellow so it'll work if I'm a boy or a girl. You and Uncle Jamie worked all night to finish painting it. You bought two sets of curtains and sheets – one blue, one pink – so you can put in the right color after I'm born.

Thirty-Six Weeks

I can hear everything you say really clearly now, so please encourage Mommy not to swear during labor!

Also, Jackie helped convince your sergeant to give you a couple of weeks off after I'm born, so you can help Mommy with me and Sean and Jack.

Thirty-Eight Weeks

It's getting so small in here! Mommy wants me out as soon as possible, but I'll come when I want to! Don't rush me!

Thirty-Nine Weeks

Today was the day I finally came! I woke Mommy up in the middle of the night. Oops! She woke you up and you called Aunt Erin so she and Nicky could come over to watch Sean and Jack. You drove really fast to the hospital, but Mommy didn't care. You even put on your siren to get people to move out of the way.

It took me another nine hours for me to actually get going. It was cozy! I didn't want to leave! Grandpa, Aunt Erin, Sean, Jack, Uncle Jamie…everyone was there waiting for me outside. You held Mommy's hand and she squeezed so hard you thought your hand was broken. But you did it anyways.

Finally I decided it was time to leave. I came out, but I had stuff in my mouth so I didn't cry. You and Mommy held your breaths. Then I cried, and so did you and Mommy.

The doctor said, Congratulations, it's a girl, and they put me on Mommy's chest. It was really bright and I cried, but I saw you and Mommy, and I wasn't scared.

You and Mommy named me Maeve Elizabeth. You like Maeve because it's Irish, and Mommy's sister's name is Elizabeth. I like it too.

A/N: If you liked, please review!

Also, let me know it you'd like this story to continue (not past Maeve's birth…maybe I'll make each week a chapter and elaborate)

Thanks for reading!
