Chapter 3: it's gonna be okay
Mindy had decided to hold Violet as the girls walked to the hotel room.
"You'll be a great mom, Mindy. You shouldn't worry." Betsy says reassuringly as they exit the elevator.
"I know but it's just kinda... Nerve wracking Ya'know? Like in mere months time I'll be holding little Mindy and Danny junior! That's insane!" Mindy explains animatedly.
"Oh hey there you are. I've been waiting for you guys. Betsy, it's good to see you, how are you?" Danny says with a smile.
"I'm good thanks Dr. C." She replies.
"Ahh please, call me Danny. Listen, I'm about to go check out the gym, so I'll see you guys later."
"Oh Danny bring me some chocolate on the way up!" Mindy asks happily.
Danny nods in response and walks past the women to the elevator.
"C'mon lets get inside." Mindy says, opening the door with the room card.
"Wow this place is nice!" Betsy exclaims happily.
"All expense paid trip! We get to stay here for the week! Sweet right?" Mindy laughs as she lays the baby on the bed. "Well aren't you just the cutest!" She chuckles, gently tickling the baby's sides, cause her to squeal in delight.
"She likes you." Betsy chuckles as she looks through the diaper bag that was hung on her shoulder. "There's still a bottle in here... She'll probably need feeding soon..."
"Do you still breastfeed?" Mindy asks.
"Yeah, when I can, otherwise I pump some for the day if I'm at work."
Mindy nods as a thoughtful look come over her face. "Ya'know, you could always use the room across the hall if you wanted some privacy."
"You sure? Is it empty?"
"Yeah, he won't be back for another 10 minutes or so..." Mindy says, walking towards the closet. "And besides, it's more comfortable than a bathroom."
"Okay, sure." Betsy agrees, taking the room card out of Mindy's hand and picking Violet up from the bed. "Be back soon." She calls out closing the door behind her.
Moving swiftly across the hall, she opened the door and sat down on the bed. Looking around the room, she noticed that there was a second bed. 'Maybe that's where I'm sleeping tonight...' She thought. Betsy unbuttoned her blouse and slowly moved the baby in a more comfortable position, with one hand, she reached behind her and undid the clasp of her bra. Moving it out of the way she brought the baby's face up to her breast. Violet latched on almost instantly and settled down in her mothers arms as she suckled. Betsy rubbed small circles on her daughter's back, whispering terms of endearments to the brown eyed baby. Violet had a lot of hair for her age, bronze and thick. Her small button nose was almost identical to Betsy's and her small, plump lips were full and dark pink like her fathers. 'She has his eyes too... The perfect combination of the both of us...'. Noticing that the baby had finished feeding, Betsy gently places the child's head on her shoulder and walks to the window as she burps her.
"I love you... So much baby... And I'll try to always do my best by you, and give you everything you need... Even if you don't have a-"
"Betsy? Is that really you?"
