Just One Night
Chapter 9: Calm Before The Storm
Wednesday
I was bored.
Totally utterly bored.
I had watched films, TV programs on birth in Discovery Health. But I was still bored.
Nanny came in with some orange juice.
'I've made you a drink' she said kindly
'Thanks, Nanny'
She was just about to walk out of the lounge when I said.
'Nanny'
'Yes, Kristy'
I'M BORED' I wined 'I've watched ever program about babies and ever book on labour, can we do something, anything?'
'Well, actually your mom just phoned me she decided that they'd like to go and get the Nursery furniture, we're going to meet her at the mall, and she's going to take the afternoon off, and I believe she's got a surprise for you'
'Really' I said
Nanny grinned 'Really, but mum's the word'
'You know' I said jumping up.
'Yes' she said laughing, 'I'm not telling you though'
The morning dragged on, until finally Nanny, Emily Michele & I drove to Washington Mall.
We met mom at a small café inside. She told me the surprise. After we'd shopped for the baby, Uncle Pierce & Auntie Joyce had invited us two to join them from Wednesday evening, till Sunday.
I was thrilled, they were my favourite aunt & uncle. And it meant I got away for awhile.
After eating, We trooped to MotherCareWorld, a baby superstore.
We hadn't actually decorated the nursery, the room was white anyway, and mom said anything would go with it. We'd be using old pictures to decorate. I was a bit sad, I'd hoped we could make a really sweet nursery, but my mom & Watson were spending a lot on me anyway.
I shouldn't complain.
We brought a beautiful pine cot, a rocking chair, 1 pine chest of drawers, and 1 pink wardrobe. Pale yellow curtains, and a pale yellow blind, these both had winnie the pooh on them. 2 winnie the pooh pale yellow glow lights. A navy & blue travel system After a lot of thought I'd decided to bottle feed the baby. We also brought these adorable outfits. One said I love mummy, and I love daddy sleep-suits. And a little green cap, and some tiny white booties.
Once we got home, we had to pack our stuff, we'd hit the road by 6 p.m.
We spent a nice couple of days away, I'd really enjoyed seeing my cousins, and aunt & uncle. Unfortunately, Sunday came very quickly and it was time to go home.
We set off at lunchtime, and were home about 6 o'clock.
'Kristy'
'mmm'
'Wake- up, we're home'
'Okay' I said I opened my eyes and stretched my arms.
I noticed mom had this silly grin on her face.
'Oh, I forgot to mention that you had another surprise waiting for you when I got back'
Excitedly I walked into the house, mom following behind.
From the top of the stairs. I heard.
'Surprise'
The BSC were here. And they looked, well dirty to be honest.
'May we escort you to your last surprise' Claudia said in a posh voice
'You May' I said laughing, she held my hand.
We started walking down to the 2nd floor corridor.
We got outside a door, the Nursery, it had a yellow bow on the door.
My family & friends gathered around me.
'Okay, Kristy close your eyes'
I closed them, somebody took my hand, and I as ordered to open my eyes.
What I saw made me gasp.
A beautiful mural of Winnie the pooh & friends filled the room. The sun shone in. The entire nursery had been put together.
I burst into tears, It was beautiful.
'So' Stacey asked
'It's amazing, thank-you so much'
'It wasn't just up, all your family helped as well' Mary-Anne spoke up.
I gazed at the room for a while. It really was beautiful.
For a couple of hours, me & my friends giggled & chatted and catched up.
The parents of the girls were on their way to pick them up.
I was showing the girl's the scans and the clothes. When suddenly I felt a warm liquid go down my leg. At first I thought I'd wet myself. But it suddenly hit me, that this was the start of my labour.
A weird strange feeling gripped my body.
'Oh' I cried.
It was Mary-Anne who noticed the water on the floor.
'Oh my god, she's in labour' she cried.
Lots of things started happening at once.
Claudia & Stacey ran down to tell my parents.
Mallory & Jessi started to clean the floor. Mary-Anne & Dawn led me to my bed.
My parents came up running.
We grabbed my bag, and Mom & Nanny helped me down the stairs.
'I'll stay here, to watch the children, ring me as soon as you know anything' Watson said
'Okay' Mom yelled back.
As we got out the front door. Most of the girl's parents were here.
I quickly said hello, and Mom rushed me to the car.
Just before she helped me get my seat-bet on, I remembered something.
'Bart, call Bart' I said
'On it' Sam yelled
In a few minutes, Bart ran over the road. Looking worried & excited.
He sat in the back with me, he clutched my hand.
I gave him a small smile. As we pulled out the drive I whispered.
This is it.
Next chapter soon.
