Hey, thanks for reading! Here's another chapter!
Chapter Twelve: From the Bottom of My Heart Part One
"Simon, I'm hungry," Cecilia stated. Pointing at her large stomach, she added, "And so are they."
"Okay, what do you want me to get for you?"
"Mmm... a BLT and some cold lemonade, please."
"Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes. Will you be alright alone for a few minutes?"
"Simon, I'm a big girl. I can handle it."
"Just making sure, Sweetheart."
She smiled at him and he went to the kitchen. Ruthie came in with Castle in her arms. "Cecilia, she keeps saying "Mommy", so I brought her to you. Martin was getting a little annoyed with it."
Cecilia took the baby from her sister-in-law. Castle soon fell asleep in her mother's arms. Cecilia laid her in the playpen that was next to the bed. She was trying to be very careful because it was early in December and she was due in a few weeks. She was excited and nervous at the same time.
They had just found out what they were having, and were trying to figure out the names they wanted. They were having two girls and one boy. They had decided that the girls were going to be named Christmas Noel and December Grace. They were pretty sure they were going with Gabriel Christian for the boy.
Just then, Simon came back into the room, carrying her food. Cecilia ate it like it was going out of style. Simon just stared at her. "You're not hungry, are you?" he joked.
She glared at him. "Hey, when I see you get pregnant with triplets, I'll decide."
He kissed her forehead and turned on the television. Reruns of their favorite show were on. As they watched them, Cecilia felt the babies kick. "Aww, how cute, Simon, they're already playing nicely with each other, and they aren't even out here yet."
He smiled and held his hand on her stomach. He, too, felt the babies kick. "Does it hurt, Cec?"
"Does what hurt?"
"The babies kicking."
"Not a bit. It kind of tickles, actually."
"Oh, really? Like this?" he asked as he began to tickle her. She laughed and almost woke the baby up. When she stirred, they looked at her and tried to quiet down.
This is how most days went by after that, and before they knew it, it was Christmas Eve. Their whole family was in New York because Cecilia couldn't fly. As they sat around the Christmas tree, Cecilia felt her water break. Simon rushed her to the hospital, and thus began the long wait for the birth of their babies...
Sorry it's short again, but my brother was hogging our laptop and now it's 10pm. Cecilia has the babies in the next chapter (obviously, right?) Thanks! Please review!
