The Sister (2) - Chapter 5

"Paul Michael Levesque! We're not about to paint this whole room blue.we don't even know if were having a boy." I protested.

Paul smiled and said, "I know we are.I can feel it."

I said, "And just how can you feel it.the baby happens to be inside my body. C'mon we agreed no set boy / girl colors. If you want to go with white or violet.something nice and neutral.what happens if we have a girl?" He said, "Then she can learn to love blue." I said, "Absolutely not."

By now I was 6 months and stuck out. I was sitting on the floor in the spare room we were making into a baby's room. Paul was measuring things and putting the crib together.I said, "You know something.Let's do violet.I think that would be a prefect color."

Paul looked around a little and said, "Okay.violet it is." We had actually already bought the paint, and put a little on one wall, we just couldn't pick one.

So Paul started painting the room, making sure both windows were open, and the paint was made special so it had no smell, and it didn't bother me.

After he put the first coat on, he looked over and I had laid down on the floor with two of the pillows from our bed, and fell asleep. Paul was letting the walls dry before putting on a second coat, so he came over to me, and lifted my.well his t-shirt, cause I was just wearing some cotton shorts and one of his t-shirts, mine were a little small.so he lifted the shirt and had his hand on my belly, and laid down and had his ear to my belly.

I woke up when the baby started kicking.I jumped up and said, "Whoa! Oh my gosh Paul feel this." I put his hand on my stomach and he said, "Oh, it feels like you have butterflies in your stomach." I said, "Yea, you should feel it from the inside." He said, "He's kicking?" I said, "Well, he doesn't have gas babe."

He said, "Wow, you have a NFL kicker in your stomach." I said, "Feels like it too." We sat there for a couple more minutes while Paul kissed around on my belly, and talked to my tummy also. He said, "Hello in there." I said, "He's not going to answer you back." Paul looked up and said, "See, you called it he.it's going to be a boy." I said, "Stop that." We finished up the baby's room.and it looked amazing.
