Chapter 21
~ 39 weeks pregnant
Seeing the baby for the first time and hearing the heartbeat was amazing. Dimitri even shed a few tears, I didn't dare to tease him he was becoming a softy. Cause I was crying myself as well and couldn't stop them from rolling down my cheeks. But this time it was happy tears and couldn't be more excited. Alex was excited to become a big brother and vowed to protect his little brother or sister. The opinions on what the gender of the baby was going to be were pretty much all over the place. But there was one person not saying what it would be, cause basically she knew from the start. She just sat there and smirked while others were babbling.
We decided to get married after I gave birth because I don't want to look like a fat cow on my wedding day. Much to Lissa her disappointment but making her the maid of honor made her squeal. She couldn't stop talking about it and drove Sparky crazy. What of course made me a very happy camper and gladly point that out to him every time. Rehabilitation was a bitch being pregnant but I stuck to it mostly because I was getting sick of being pushed around in a wheelchair. And being able to go to the toilet by myself again was a blessing. It is not fun having somebody else wipe your butt while trying not to fall over. And my hormones were all over the palace as soon as I was cleared I was all over Dimitri. That meant in the shower, a dressing room even his office wasn't safe. At least Ivan will think twice now walking in without knocking.

Mom was in the hospital about the give birth and dad was clearly nervous pacing around. Was excited to meet my new baby brother or sister. I am going to make sure to protect them against bullies or people with bad intentions. Dad kept his promise and was present at most of my matches and practiced with me whenever he could. At first I didn't want to go back even though the doctor cleared me. Was nervous going out again and was afraid something would happen. Instead of Eddie and new guy named Mason was my bodyguard now. He is really cool and even helps out with practicing sometimes. One time we played Fortnite all night when I was supposed be doing my homework. But didn't tell my mom that, she thought I couldn't sleep because I got sick. Let's just say I am never eating marshmallows ever again or at least for awhile.
Feel more safe having him around but hope Eddie gets better soon. I owe him my life and thanked him many times. He keeps saying it is his job to protect us, my dad gave him a raise and paid for a vacation for his whole family. His wife Mia is very nice and they have son and a daughter around my age. Looking around the waiting room I saw how many people loved us. We looked like a an episode of Full House, driving the nurses crazy with weird questions. Ivan was defiantly Uncle Jesse flirting with the ladies to get him something as simple as a cup of coffee. Every time my dad would walk out the room is the only moment everyone was quiet. The choice was between a screaming mother yelling at my dad for knocking her up or my crazy family. So I chose the latter and now have my own private reality show.
Then I saw something very interesting Uncle Ivan was for the first time like he was seeing an angel. The funny thing is she was completely ignoring him. He was like a little lost puppy following her around the hospital. But nurses and doctors running into the room of my mother had me anxious all of a sudden. Babushka saw the panic on my face an reassured me saying the baby decided it was time to come. Next hour was filled with lots of not so nice words from my mom. Even though the door of the delivery room was closed I could clearly hear her voice.
