Chapter 10
Randy and Stacey left that afternoon for San Diego and once they arrived at their hotel Stacey was in awe of the honeymoon suite that Randy had booked just for them. It over looked the ocean and the sunset was amazing. Stacey was on the balcony when Randy walked out and joined her and wrapped his arms around her waist and placed a hand on the baby.
"The sunset Randy is just beautiful." Stacey said as she leaned into Randy.
"I have to agree honey. How are you feeling?" Randy asked since they had arrived Stacey hadn't been feeling the best and had laid down for a bit and he was worried about her and the baby.
"I feel better. Flying and the baby just didn't agree with me for once. I have no problems in flying but today was a different story. I love you Randy." Stacey told him
"I love you too honey. Do you feel up to going out to eat or do you want to order room service?" Randy asked
"Hmm. How about we order room service tonight and for breakfast and then for lunch and supper we can go out." Stacey said
"Sounds like a plan babe." Randy said and they walked back into their room for the next three weeks and Randy placed a call to room service and placed their order.
After eating supper, they found something on TV to watch and both relaxed for going to bed making love to each other. Over the next few weeks Stacey and Randy were enjoying everything and just being together. Stacey had started to show during their second week there and Randy was just in love with her body and to see it change as she was simply glowing in the pregnancy. Randy was very thankful to Vince for giving him the year off and that way he was there for Stacey during the pregnancy and Stacey was happy he was at home.
While they were off enjoying their honeymoon Kenzie and John were at home putting the final touches on their daughters room. John and Randy had put the crib, dresser, and changing table together and John had by accident nailed Randy's thumb to the dresser, he was going for the nail but missed and got Randy's hand instead. Kenzie was just glowing in her pregnancy and was now at 34 weeks and 5 days. Also Becky had moved in due to someone who was being a problem and she was upset and Kenzie and John offered her to live with them. Becky was thankful to her sister but the only problem was she didn't have anything there and was getting ready to fly out to St Louis and she and Nathan were going to pack up what she wanted and then drive in her car to California.
Kenzie was in the living room just relaxing and doing some shopping online when Becky was coming down the stairs and sat down by her big sister.
"Hey Kenzie can I ask you a question." Becky said
"Sure honey what is up?" Kenzie said as she placed her laptop on the couch beside her and placed a hand on the baby.
"First of all I want to thank you and John for letting me come stay with you. Second of all by chance can I use one of the cars please as I need a way to get to and from school. Dad thinks it might be a better idea if I change my cell phone number and also get a new car but wants to wait till you have the baby and then we can go car shopping." Becky said
"Dad is right sweetie. John come here please." Kenzie said as John walked out of the office and was headed into the kitchen but stopped and walked into the living room.
"What is up baby?" John asked as he placed a kiss to the top of Kenzie's head and then sat down and placed and hand on their daughter who was kicking like there was no tomorrow.
"Becky is in need of a car till daddy can come out after Vaughn is born. Which car can she drive?" Kenzie asked
"Well she can drive the Civic for a while or the Accord its up to her." John said "You are getting kicked rather hard."
"I know baby. My doctors appointment is in two hours." Kenzie said
"Okay. Becky come with me and you can look at either one and then pick how is that?" John asked
"Okay thanks again guys for everything." Becky said as she stood up and followed John to the garage.
Becky looked at both cars and told John she really liked the Accord and John handed her the keys and told her to becareful. John the day before had just added Backy on the car insurance so she was covered. Since she had arrived in California she was getting ready to start at her new school and they were on spring break and she would be headed back to classes that coming Monday.
"Becky are you ready for school to start on Monday?" John asked
"I am and thank you so much for getting me all the stuff I needed to go to school out here that means a lot to me." Becky said
"You are most welcome Becky. Have you met with your teachers, found your locker and where your classes are going to be?" John asked
"I did that last week. I like my teachers and they told me that they would have my books when I come on Monday. I am excited to be starting a new school John. I have to admit I am nervous and scared but I know that I did the right thing by getting away from St Louis and away from Brad Johnson." Becky said
Becky met Brad at school, they had hit it off right away. The had a lot of the same interest and had about three classes together and soon they were dating. It wasn't long after they started dating that Brad came controlling over Becky. Brad wanted pure control and Becky wasn't about to give up everything she had, her friends, her family or any thing for Brad. When Brad found out who Becky's parents were and how much they were worth he decided to be sweet and loving when he was always around the Orton's house. Since it was the second semester of their sophomore year in high school. That Brad lost his temper over something and he took his temper out on Becky. After knocking her around and he tried to have sex with her and when she fought back, Brad knocked her out and had his way with her. Thankfully Becky didn't end up pregnant by Brad. When the entire family came out for Randy and Stacey's wedding Brand followed her. They were staying at a hotel that wasn't too far from John and Kenzie's house that he would watch Becky's everymove and knew what all she was doing. One afternoon before the wedding Becky was coming down from her room and Brad pulled her into his hotel room and told Becky that she was always his, that it wasn't nice to run and hide from him as he would always find her. Brad even went as far as coming to the wedding and reception.
"Thanks John I need to run to Walmart and pick up a few things. Do I need to talk to the securtiy guard or what?" Becky asked
"Just show them your ID and they will let you on through. I called them and they know you are now staying with us. Your name is on the list for our house and also Randy and Stacey's house. Speacking of which they should be here soon." John said
"Yes they should." Becky said as she quickly gave John a hug and then walked inside to talk to Kenzie and see if she wanted to go to Walmart with her.
"Kenzie would you like to go with me to Walmart?" Becky asked
"I would love to honey but I am really worn down and want to rest some before my doctor's appointment." Kenzie told her sister
"Okay. Do you need anything?" Becky asked
"Not really honey. So you know Randy and Stacey get in tonight and tomorrow we are having them over for supper." Kenzie said
"Sweet. I bet they have had a lot of fun on their honeymoon. I bet you anything that Stacey will come back pregnant." Becky said with a smile on her face.
"You never know honey. Oh after my appointment we are going to go and eat supper. I will call you when we know where we are headed if you want to join us." Kenzie said and smiled up at John who walked bck into the living room.
"Okay well I am out for now." Becky said
John and Kenzie watched Becky leave the house and smiled at each other. Since Kenzie had been cleared to be with her husband they had been very intmate with each other almost every mornging even in the evening if no one else was around the house. That morning they made gentle love to each other. Kenzie laid her head on John's shoulders as he had wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders and he placed a hand on the baby who kicked him right away. Kenzie shifted some and now had her head in John's lap and they both had a hand on the baby who was just kicking around and moving.
"She is very active." John stated quietly
"Yes she is. Then again I am kinda shocked she has enough room to move as she is. Vaughn is very active." Kenzie said
"Yes she is. Honey I have a question for you." John said
"What is that babe?" Kenzie questioned and smiled up at John
"I know you hate the name Jules and Julie. What if we call our little angel Vaughn Jules or Vaughn Julie." John said
"John honey we do need a middle name for Vaughn I will agree to the name Vaughn Jules or Vaughn Julie. I love you Johnny." Kenzie said
"I love you too Kenzie." John said as he rubbed her stomach. "How are you feeling?"
"Tender right now and also drained. I can't believe we have less than a month and half before she is here." Kenzie said
"I know honey. Hon are we going to do anything for my birthday?" John asked
"I don' know. I though about inviting Stacey and Randy over for supper and have Olive Garden deliver and cake and ice cream to celebrate." Kenzie said as she shifted to her side to sit up.
"Sounds like a plan honey." John said "You ready to head out?"
"Yes I am honey. Let me use the bathroom and we can head out." Kenzie said after she was standing she walked slowly into the bathroom and then met John by the back door. Kenzie stepped out so John could set the alarm and soon they were headed towards the hospital.
John pulled Kenzie's SUV into the parking lot and walked around to help her out. John laced his fingers with hers as they headed up to the doctor's office. After Kenzie was signed in she didn't have to wait as they were called back right away. After being weighed and having her blood pressure taken the nurse didn't even bother to smile at Kenzie and handed her a sheet and told her she had to strip from the waist down but could leave her socks on. Kenzie took her yoga pants off and her panties and smiled at John who had this I want my wife look in his eyes.
"Not now baby later." Kenzie said
"Okay fine." John pouted as he stood and walked over to the exam table and wrapped Kenzie up in his arms and started to rub her back as she leaned into his chest and listened to his calming heartbeat that was about to put her to sleep when there was a knock on the door.
"Good afternoon Kenzie. Hi John" Dr Vest said as he entered the room
"Hi, what happened to Dr Sansa?" Kenzie asked Dr Vest was one of the new doctor's in their office.
"He is over in Labor and Delivery two of his patients went into labor." Dr Vest answred "I see that you are 35 weeks and 4 days and have been on bedrest. Looks like Dr Orton put you on full bedrest then after having your appendix removed she put you on moderate bedrest and never said pelvic rest so you could still be with John but only gently right?"
"That is right." Kenzie answered
"Okay why don't you lay back and I will grab a nurse and we can examine you and see how the baby is doing." Dr Vest said and stepped out and John helped Kenzie lay back on the table and a few minutes later the doctor was back with a nurse.
"I am going to feel around and measure then listen. Then I will do a cervical exam to make sure you aren't dilating." Dr Vest said. As he did the exam Kenzie felt their daughter kick and move away from the doctor. The heartbeat was very strong. After doing the cerivcal exam the doctor stepped out to allow Kenzie to redress.
Kenzie sat down by John who placed a hand on the baby and held Kenzie close. Dr Vest came back in and sat down on the stool. "Kenzie I want you to go back on full bedrest. You can get up to walk up to your bedroom, to the bathroom, and to get a shower and I want to see Dr Orton weekly till the baby arrives."
"Okay why?" Kenzie asked
"Because your cervix is very tender and you have lost your mucus plug and all. 35 weeks is a bit early and we want to avoid that at all cost. I suggest you see Dr Orton in two days." Dr Vest said
"Okay." Kenzie said
John helped Kenzie down from the exam table and after making an appointment with Stacey for two days away she let John lead her to their car and they headed home. After arriving home John helped his wife who hadn't talked the entire way home into their house.
"Where do you want to rest honey?" John asked
"On the couch is fine honey." Kenzie said
Kenzie was upset and tried not to show how upset she was to John who was upset too. That night passed quickly and the next day was finally here and it was also John's birthday. Kenzie rolled over in bed and smiled at John who was sleeping soundly. After getting up carefully and using the bathroom she walked downstairs to get something to drink then headed for the couch and plopped down on there and propped her feet up. Randy and Stacey had arrived late last night from their honeymoon and they were going to be coming over soon. John woke up alone in bed and after using the bathroom he walked down and smiled at Kenzie and bent down to press a kiss to his wife's forehead.
"Good morning birthday boy." Kenzie said as John joined her on the couch
"Hmm good morning baby." John said before kissing his wife "I love you and Miss Vaughn"
"Ah we love you too honey." Kenzie said and smiled at John who claimed her lips in a tender kiss.
"What would you like for breakfast? And has Becky been down yet?" John askd
"She left about 15 minutes ago and said she would be home around 2pm as it is a half day and well she is going to lunch with friends then home." Kenzie said "My husband for starters and then Sonic for breakfast."
"Hmm I would love to have you too sweetheart but the doctor said no. I can run and get breakfast how is that." John said with a smile
"Okay baby. I want a chocolate shake and sprite please. Number 11 with sauage" Kenzie said
"Be back soon baby. Just rest"
John wasn't gone long and after the couple ate breakfast together, then spent the rest of the morning just relaxing.
