Chapter 25: I Choose
Nina's POV
Oh man not again! Why can't one of them just ask me? I would have said yes to either one of them, but no they decide to both ask me. But it doesn't matter; I just can't wait to go to the dance. After staying home all day because I'm supposed to be on bed rest, I decide to pick out what I'm going to wear tomorrow.
After about 7 hours later, everybody is back in the house and getting ready for tomorrow. Trudy called everyone down to dinner and we had an almost good dinner, with the exception of Jerome and Alfie throwing food at each other. After that we all went to our rooms to go to sleep. Eddie asked me if I would like to sleep in his bed tonight, but I rejected saying that I didn't feel so good, which was the truth. The baby has been kicking like crazy. But I decide that it will go away over night with a good sleep.
The next morning, I wake up with a smile on my face because today was the day I finally get to go outside and dance with my wonderful fiancées. I say goodbye to everyone at the breakfast table as they head to school and say hello to 7 hours of boredom.
After the hours passed by, all the house came back, and we all start talking about the party. I noticed that Amber isn't here, but it's probably because she still has some party planning to do. Amber comes back about half an hour later, and tells all the girls to go upstairs so that she could get us all ready. About 2 hours later, an hour before the dance starts, Amber is finally done with all of us including herself and we all walk downstairs together. The boys meet us downstairs with their mouths wide open. Mick grabbed Joy's hand, Jerome grabbed Mara's hand, Alfie grabbed Amber's hand, Patricia reached out to grab Eddie's hand, but he quickly moved and grabbed my hand instead. She huffed and puffed, and took Fabian's arm. He looked confused and gave me a look that said "I'm sorry" I slightly nodded as I realized that he doesn't want to leave Patricia with no date. As the house is about to leave, I feel something wet sliding down my leg. That's when I realized that my water broke. I look at Eddie, and he realizes what's happening. Fabian and Patricia notice too and I tell Fabian to take Patricia to the dance. There's no reason Patricia couldn't have fun. Patricia looks at me and smile, maybe we could finally be friends again.
Eddie calls a taxi and it quickly takes us to the hospital. I get a room and the doctor says that I am already 10 cm dilated, which means...I'm ready to push. Amber and Fabian enter the room as I am about to push. They told me that the whole house was waiting outside the room. I ask for Eddie and Fabian to step out of the room and ask for Amber to stay. She has been the best friend anyone could ask for. After about 40 minutes of pushing and Amber saying "Come on Nina, you can do it" I finally pop out my beautiful baby boy. The doctor cuts the umbilical cord and the baby starts crying, I tell the doctor to give it to Amber to hold first.
She starts crying and asks "Nina, what are you going to name him?" "I don't know, Amber" I reply. I ask the doctor to bring Eddie and Fabian in. I give the baby to Eddie and he starts crying. He passes it to Fabian and he starts crying also. They give the baby to me and both ask "So Nina, whose it going to be?"
