Set one month later....
POV – Sophie
I sat down on the edge of the bed and smiled at my angelic twins. After feeding them both I had placed them together in Maya's crib, which I often did for their morning nap. "Sweet dreams, my angels" I said standing up and walking over to the shelf where my long line of journals were kept.
Ever since I was about seven years old, I have written in a journal every day. I love the fact that writing down things that happened during the day means that your memories last longer.
I opened one of the journals from about ten and a half years ago and smiled. The way I write my entries as if I am writing a story, describing exactly what people said and how I was feeling.
That is why I love reading my old journals, it makes my memories so vivid, as if I am living them again.
I sat on the bed against the pillows and began to read. I recognized the date straight away, it was the day I first told Sky I was pregnant with Lucy.
Dear diary,
I stood against the wall, peering around the corner at Sky who was standing on the balcony, admiring the view of the Eiffel tower. I held the pregnancy test behind my back. I had only taken the test as a last attempt to find out why I was feeling so ill. I had not told Sky that I thought I could be pregnant.
I was shocked when it came out positive, but excited all the same. I dropped the test into the bin as I walked past, knocking yesterday's newspaper on top of it.
Stepping on to the balcony, I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head on his back. "Morning Baby" He said turning around and hugging me close. "Good morning" I replied hugging him back happily.
"Are you feeling any better today?" Sky asked before kissing my cheek, his lips warm and gentle against my skin. "Not really, but I will this afternoon. Not 100% but better" I smiled. "And how do you know that?" He questioned.
I took a deep nervous breath and replied. "Its morning sickness, Sky I'm pregnant" Sky smiled pulling me as close to him as possible. "That's wow, fantastic Sophie, a baby" This is the closest to speechless I have ever seen Sky.
I laughed as Sky lifted me off of the floor and spun me around, reminding me of how I felt when I first accepted his marriage proposal. "A baby, our baby. Sky, we're going to be parents" I giggled placing my hands on my stomach.
Sky laughed turning me around so I lent against his body. "It's going to be great" He said placing his hands on my stomach. " I love you so much Soph, and our little baby too" I smiled looking over the view of Paris.
"I will have to book a hospital appointment. To see how far along I am" I said. "Well, we leave for New York in two days, then it will be easier because we could actually understand to midwife" Sky chuckled.
I laughed turning around to face him. "You mean you can actually understand the midwife." I said. "You are absolutely hopeless at French" Sky thought for a moment then nodded. "True, then when we get to New York, we will book a hospital appointment." He said.
"Alright then" I agreed placing my hands on his hips. "Tomorrow we can take one last walk around Paris. Yes?" Sky draped his arms around my neck and played with strands of my hair. "Sounds great" He replied.
I smiled closing the journal. That memory was so vivid now, it feels like it was only yesterday. Reading that made me love Sky even more, if that is possible. I could not have a better husband then him.
