Chapter 9 – Move In Day & Special Delivery
(Beka's P.O.V.)
I am a week away from delivering our child, and we're moving across town into a four bedroom, two bathroom house. Mom and Dad Piper found an old house on the market. They bought it and they fixed it up for us.
So Jack, Eskren, Rosto, Daddy, Mom and Dad Piper helped us pack and move stuff into the new house.
About three weeks ago Kora found out she is two months pregnant, so Aniki, herself and I sat out as everyone else did the packing and moving. My son Daniel sat next to me, and laid his head on my stomach.
As soon as Rosto and I told him how we're his parents, he started automatically calling us Mom and Dad. It was very nice. He is such help and loves us to death, as much as we love him.
Rosto, Jack, and Eskren were carrying in our bed, and it looked like they were having a hard time.
"Baby, are you sure we can't help?" I asked really wanting to do something.
"Thanks but honey as we talked about we need you three beautiful pregnant ladies to sit there and stay safe" he said frustrated but with love.
Aniki, Kora and I all sighed. We loved our men but they were very protective. We watched them walk into the bedroom.
"How about later tonight Clary, Mom and us go out to celebrate. The guys can hang out at the Rogue, or finish here" I though aloud. Us three girls needed to get out of the house.
"That would be fun and relaxing?" Aniki said with excitement. Kora sighed.
"Mommy, where would I go?" Daniel asked with concern.
I leaned down and kissed his forehead. "If Daddy even lets me out of the house, you would go over to Grandpa Tunstall's. What do you think about that?" I asked remembering how much he loved my father.
Every time he got near my father he would ask if they could bake, and read stories together. It was the cutest thing in the world.
"I'd like that, but I don't think daddy will like that plan too much. Can I go over to Grandpa's anyways?" he asked with the biggest smile on his face.
"I don't see why not. We'll take a walk over to Grandpa's as soon as Daddy, Grandpa Piper, Grandma Elizabeth, Uncle Eskren and Uncle Jack finish moving stuff in the house."
Just as I finished saying that they boys walked out from the bedroom. Daniel ran over to Rosto with the biggest smile on his face.
"Oh boy" I thought.
"Hey buddy, what's up?" Rosto grinned, as he lifted him up.
"Mommy says after you finish she'll walk me to Grandpa Tunstall's house" he smiled.
"Really, well I'll come along too." He said as his eyes landed on me. "How about you go help Grandma outside for a few moments well I talk to mommy"
He placed our son on the ground, and watched him walk out of the house before he walked over to me.
"Darling, what is this about?" he asked with a frown.
"Help me up, and we can talk about it in another room" I said glancing at our friends.
He nodded his head at once and helps me up.
I apologized to the girls, before we walk away and into our bedroom.
"Rosto look. The girls and I need to get out of the house. We're going insane. Mom, us girls, and Clary could go out to celebrate for a hour, we'll you guys hang out" I said agitated.
He looked beyond frustrated. It felt like him and I had this argument a lot lately.
"No, I don't like that idea. You're a week away from delivery. I don't want anything to happen to you. We'll bring Daniel to your father's but you're not going out" he said sternly.
"Rosto Piper, I am going out tonight, and there is nothing you can do about it. End of discussion" I yelled out as my mood swings kicked in at full force.
I walked out of the room as I slammed the door shut. I wobbled fast to Elizabeth before Rosto could come after me. She would back me up a hundred percent.
Sure enough I found her outside, and explained the whole thing to her as Rosto walked towards us. I stood behind her, as she blocked me from him. I was in no mood to talk to him yet.
He tried getting around his mother but she wouldn't let him. "Mom, there is no need to drag you into this. Beka and I weren't finished talking." He said through his teeth so he wouldn't yell.
He never normally yelled at me or anyone he loved but because of the stress he just lost it.
"Rosto, yes you were. She told me what happened. I normally don't take sides but she is right. You need to let her out of the house before she is stuck in the house for the next few months with the baby. She will be safe with me and the girls. We all know how to defend ourselves whether they are pregnant or not. I have no clue what's got into you. You never usually yell at Beka or us" She said sternly.
That made him recoil. I knew it was low to use his mom against him but I needed to get out and he just didn't understand.
"I'm sorry to all of you. It's just been very stressful lately. Beka can you forgive me, I never meant to yell at you. I understand you need to get out of the house. I'm just worried that something will happen to you without me there" he apologized.
Everybody forgave him, and went back to work but Elizabeth, him and I.
"Rosto I forgive you, but I need my space tonight. I'll be staying at Dad's. I'm sorry" I said calming looking up into his eyes.
He nodded his head yes, and walked back into the house. I sighed.
"Mom, why are we fighting like this. We never fight?" I cried.
She wrapped her arms around me, and walked me back into the house next to Daniel, Kora and Aniki.
"Its not always easy dear. He's just worried about you like always. It's been stressful at work I hear" she said as we both sat down. I lay against her as the tears kept coming.
"Mommy what's wrong?" my son asked with concern, as he walked over to me, and sat on the other side of me holding my hand.
"Mommy and Daddy got in a argument, and I'm crying because all the stress is getting to me" I smile at him, as the tears slowed down.
"Mommy please don't cry. Daniel and Daddy here to make you better" he looked up at me with his big brown eyes just like his father.
"I know, thank you. I love you" I whisper to him, as I lean down and kiss his forehead.
"I love you too mommy. Can I go help daddy?" he asked with excitement.
"Yes go ahead. Mom you can go too, I'll be fine." I smiled, as the tears stopped.
They both nodded their heads, and walked off. I looked over and saw Aniki and Kora sound a sleep.
"Beka you're such an emotional mess right now. Get your act together." I told myself.
"Daddy mommy was crying so I sat next to her and told her were there for her so please don't cry" he said proudly from the other room.
"You did. That was nice of you. Tell mommy I'll be done in a few minutes and then we'll go over to Grandpa Tunstall's" Rosto said softly.
I knew that voice and the face he would make. His voice would be soft because he was sad that we got in another fight. His face would sink at the very thought of it. If I could get up, I would walk over to him and apologize a million times. I hated when I did this to him.
I heard tiny little feet running this way. I looked up and saw my son with a big smile on his face.
"Daddy says in a little bit we'll go to Grandpa Tunstall's" he said jumping up and down.
"Okay thanks bud. Can you have Daddy come and help me up?" I asked with a small smile.
Daniel loves the chance to help anybody that he loves out. He was exactly like Rosto in so many ways. It always makes me smile. He ran off at once, and returned a few moments later with my husband.
I left my hand up and look up at him with an apologetic smile. He helps me up gently, and lets me lean against him.
"I'm sorry for losing my temper baby. Please forgive me" I cried into his shirt.
He rubs circles on my back, and lets me stand there for a while in his loving arms. He finally broke the silence. "I forgive you. I'm sorry for losing my temper also. Please forgive me honey?"
"Of course, I always do no matter how much I'm mad at you. I'm sorry for using mom against you" I said, as the tears slowed down.
He chuckled at that. "I never thought I would see the day that my wife and mother were both mad at me. What if Aniki, Kora, and mom went out to celebrate as you and I go out on a date? We haven't been on a date for quite sometime, and we could use it"
That shocked me. I wasn't expecting that. I looked up at him and smiled. "That sounds perfect. Did we get everything in the house yet?"
"It's in the house, but it's not all set up yet. Let's bring Daniel's to your father's." He turned around and faced our son. "Buddy are you ready to go to Grandpa's?"
Daniel jumped up and down with excitement. We laughed, as we each took a hand walked out of our house to my father.
(Rosto's P.O.V.)
We dropped our son off, and instead of walking back to the house, I walked us towards the nearest restaurant. I'm going to take us out to eat, a walk around the park, and then free time at home.
We haven't been out on a date in two months because everything has been so busy with the Rogue and at home. With our second child due less than a week, we been getting as much as we can do for the nursery.
'Rosto, I really am sorry for blowing up at you." My wife said sincerely as she looked into my eyes.
"I'm sorry too love. It's just been very stressful lately. How would you like if we go out to eat?" I asked trying to enlighten the mood.
"That sounds perfect" she beamed.
We walked hand in hand all the way to the Corus famous restaurant. We were served right away, since I married a puppy.
We ordered our food, and just smiled at each other. We haven't talked to each other about other things then kids, and the house.
"So how's work?" she asked braking the silence.
"Busy as usual. We had our fifth break in this week. It's insane I tell you. There hasn't been any death threats if that's what you're asking"
"That's good to hear. Do you know Daniel told me the other day?" she giggled.
"No, what?" I asked out of curiosity.
"He told me he was going to be just like his Daddy and he was going to love anybody like his Mommy. I thought it was special" she beamed with pride.
My heart just over spilled with pride. I never imagined my son warming up this fast to my wife and I. I thought it would take months before he would even be comfortable calling us mom and dad.
"That is the best thing I've heard yet. How's our baby?" I grinned.
"Good, and ready to come out at any moment. I keep telling he or she to wait" she chuckled.
Everyday am I reminded that I married an angel. She is such a blessing and a beauty. Though we do have moments were we fight, we still love each other unconditionally.
"I didn't get to tell you Mom loved the names we came up for the baby" she continued on with the same smile, that I thought any moment she was going to explode into a fit full of giggles. Not that it wouldn't be cute to see that.
"Did she? I can't wait to see if we have a son or a daughter. Did we come up with who the godparents are going to be for Daniel and our baby?" I asked with so much excitement that I thought I would go insane.
"Well I think Aniki and Jack should be Daniel's godparents. Kora and Eskren should be our baby's. What do you think?" she asked wanting my thought on it.
"I think that would be perfect. Tonight is going to be about you and I, not the kids. We haven't had alone time for three weeks." I said lovingly, as I starred into her blue-gray eyes that I love so much.
Every time I stare into them, I see love, affection, devotion, and admiration. She sees through my prefaces, and knows how I react to everything.
"Rosto Piper, what would I do without you? What are we doing after we eat?" she asked with curiosity.
"You would be lonely without me." I snickered. "We'll I thought we would walk around the park before we go home and then do whatever at home. Does that sound fun?" I asked hoping she liked my idea.
She nodded her head and just laughed at me. "Baby when are you going to learn that I like any idea of yours, even if we're arguing."
"I'll learn sooner or later," I laughed at myself, as she joined with me.
Our food finally arrived, and we ate and talked some more. We stayed like that for about a half hour before we paid for our food, and decided to take our walk. It was kind of chilly out tonight, so I took off my hoodie, and had my wife put it on so she and the baby wouldn't freeze.
"Rosto, this is the most romantic date we've been on yet. Thank you. Tonight is just perfect," she sighed as she leaned against me.
"Your welcome love. Once our child is born Aniki, and Kora are going to take over the Rogue for a few weeks so we can get adjusted." I smiled, as I kissed her head.
"What about Kora and Aniki being pregnant?" she asked with worry.
"Don't worry, we're going to be closing the place down at ten instead of staying open all night. We weren't counting on all you three beautiful ladies to be pregnant around the same time" I chuckled.
"You know Kora, Aniki and I just got together and said lets just get pregnant together," my wife snorted.
That made me laugh.
"What?" she asked with concern.
"It's just one of the cutest things I have heard' I snickered.
"Ya, I think you have lost your head. Let me know when you get it back" she grinned with taunt.
We playfully argued back and forth on our walk before we finally arrived at home twenty minutes later.
(Beka's P.O.V.)
We arrived home, and I automatically went for the bed. After a day of walking on your feet and having a child in your stomach made you pretty exhausted. I had just sat on the bed when a terrible and sharp pain came to the side of my stomach. I screamed out.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Rosto asked as he flew to my side of the bed.
"Pain in my stomach. I think it's a contraction and it's time"
Just as I said that I felt my water break.
"We need to get Aniki and Kora now. My water just broke. Do you know where they are?" I cried out in pain as another contraction came at me.
"They weren't leaving until 6:30pm. It's only 6. I think I can still catch them," he stated in worry.
"Go, I'll be fine. Just go as fast as you can," I cried out.
He nodded his head yes, and kissed my forehead as he ran out of the house.
I squeezed one of our pillows as each contraction came. I thought cramps were bad this was horrendous.
I felt like forever before Rosto, Mom, Dad, Kora, Aniki, Ersken, and Jack came. Aniki, Rosto and Kora helped me sit up on the bed as another contraction came.
"Ersken, and Jack go to Tunstall's and tell him what's going on. Stay there with him, until one of us comes to get you" Mom said with a smile on her face.
They nodded at once, and left.
"Rosto, I need you to get one of your old T-shirts that she can put on. Can you get one, and then help her change?" Kora asked.
He nodded his head at once, and left the room to find the box with all his T-shirts.
"Mom, please help me through this. I'm scared and it hurts," I whispered out as tears slid down my face.
"Honey, I'm right here. I'm the one that's actually going to be delivering the baby since both of them are pregnant" she said, as she gently held my hand and moved my hair out of my face with her other hand.
Rosto came back a few moments with a T-shirt in hand; everyone left our room so I could get changed.
They all came back in and got the stuff set up. It felt like minutes but it turned out to be hours later.
Before I knew it I was getting told that I needed to start pushing. I held onto Rosto's hand and squeezed it the hardest I can. I knew I was probably hurting him, but I was in so much pain that this helped. I would apologize for this later.
"Oh Mithros, please get me through this" I yelled out, as I started squeezing.
"Honey, are you okay?" he asked with worry.
I took a deep breath before I finally responded. "I hate you Rosto Piper, you did this to me."
They just chuckled. I pushed a few more times. Before I knew it I pushed one last time, and our child was out.
"Congratulations Beka and Rosto you have a baby girl" mom beamed.
They cleaned up my daughter Rose and handed her to me. She was beyond beautiful.
"Oh Rosto, she's so beautiful" I looked up with love.
"She looks just like her momma but with my eyes and mouth" he smiled, as he kissed me.
Rosto laid on the bed with me, and I let him hold onto her.
"This is such a special delivery after a romantic date." I told everyone. "Hey Kora I was wondering if you and Ersken would be Rose Marie Piper's godparents? What do you say?"
"We would be honored," She cried, as she walked over to us to hold Rose.
"Aniki, how would you and Jack like to be Daniel's godparents? What do you say?" my husband asked with pride. It was overflowing, and it was written all over his face.
He has a son and a daughter now. It sure was a move-in day. I'm just thankful that we have the nursery all set up.
"We would love to" Aniki smiled, as Kora passed off Rose to her.
"Rosto, can you go get Daddy, Daniel, Ersken and Jack please," I asked as I kissed him on the cheek.
"I would love to. I will be right back" he smiled, as he got up and walked out.
I watched as Mom and Dad finally got there turns to hold their new grandchild. There faces held love and pride.
Life was beyond perfect; I can't imagine how it can get any better.
About ten minutes later my father, my son, Ersken and Jack arrived.
"Daddy, it's a girl," I said with happiness.
My father walked over to the bed, and sat next to me. "Can I hold her?" he asked as he choked up tears.
"Of course. Her name is Rose Marie Piper," I said, as I handed him his granddaughter.
Tonight was such a surprise, but it was a good surprise. I wouldn't change it for anything. Rosto's and my daughter was born. Rosto is all ready protective over me; he's going to be ten times more protective with her. I can only imagine how he's going to react when boys start taking an interest in her.
I giggled at the thought. I would definitely keep that to myself.
"What's so funny honey?" Rosto whispered into my ear, as he kissed my forehead.
"Nothing, I'm just beyond happy that we're blessed with a beautiful daughter" I smiled, as I leaned my head up to kiss him.
Our family and friends hung around for another hour, before they left. My father took Daniel home with him so we could adjust to the baby. Tonight was going to be a long night, but like I said it was worth it.
