Kate had been going to prenatal pilates classes to help keep her muscles tightened to bounce back into shape easily.
Kate and Tony were at Lamaze class for the 2nd month in a row. Between going to pilates and yoga this kept Kate in good shape and her healthy eating habits kept the baby healthy.
Kate was sitting on a mat doing deep and slow breathing for birth preparation.
"Do you think we will be able to be good parents Tony?" Kate asked in the middle of a breath.
"Yeah I do...we will do a good job. I know we will. Our son or daughter will be very proud of us Kate"
Kate smiled and continued to concentrate on her breathing technique."
Tony had a brief flashback to the day of their wedding.
Kate walking down the aisle in her white, long trained, sleeveless gown with a veil in a tiara. With white gloves holding her bouquet of flowers.
Beautifully fluffed soft white lilies, scattered amongst the gentle hue of white roses. With the softest whiperings of babies breath throughout.
All this tied beautifully with white laced ribbon.
The smile on her face was glowing and every moment of that day was the best thing that happened to both of them.
Tony quickly snapped back just Kate was changing positions for another exercise. She smiled at him.
"Are you okay Tony?" Kate said worried.
"Yeah I'm fine...really." Tony said with a smile as big as ever on his face.
Kate kissed Tony softly and turned back to face her instructor.
That smile brought back memories of her reciting her vows to Tony.
He could hear Kate's vows in his head as he watched her concentrating on her breathing.
Tony, since the day I met you. I knew there was something in you that I just couldn't see at that time.
As our romance progressed I started to see more in you. When the day came that I couldn't bare to think I would never see you again.
I then realized you don't have as much time as you think. God gave me another chance to live...to be with you.
I didn't think this day would ever come...but I am glad it did. Now I can vow to spend the rest of my life with you.
On the way home Tony looked at Kate and asked her.
"Kate do you want to here what I thought of for a baby name?" Tony said concentrating on the road ahead.
"Sure Tony after all this is your baby as well." Kate said with a tiny giggle.
"Shenandoah Anna DiNozzo" Tony said with a smile.
"Tony that is gorgeous...I absoultely love that name. I will definately give it alot of thought"
He leaned over and kissed her and continued driving back home.
