When we arrived at the restaurant, Kyle was already seated at the table waiting on us. I had to stop before we got to the table and take a breather because this will be the first time that I would be talking to him. I still haven't figured out as to why he would want to get to know me, being that I am the one that didn't want anything to do with his father after I found out I was pregnant. I would have thought that I was a 'devil' in his eyes, but looks can be deceiving.
Horatio looked at me as he too stopped. I knew that he knew what I was thinking, but I was still afraid that this would turn out hellish. He grabs my hand and brings it to his mouth before giving it a kiss.
"He wants to get to know you and Isabelle"he tells me, "Nothing bad will happen"
"But-But-What if he hates me?" I ask, "I cant have that…"
"He wont hate you, he just wants to get to know you more..outside of work" he tries to reassure me "So relax, Ok?"
"Ok" I agree after much consulting
"Good"
We lean in and kiss briefly before walking to the table where Kyle is still waiting for us. When we are standing at the side of it, Kyle looks up and smiles at us both. He soon gets up from his spot and gives me a hug, in which I am a little surprised, but soon hug him back too. As we separate, I can feel Isabelle kick lightly. I wonder if Kyle felt that? Yep, he sure did, I can see him looking at my stomach with wide eyes.
"Can I?" he asks me as he points to my stomach
At my nod, he gets down on one knee, before placing his hands on either side of my stomach. I can hear him whisper things, but I have no clue as to what he is saying. As this is going on, I look to my right and see Horatio standing there beside me. He hasn't left my side. We lock eyes and smile at one another. Our hands lock together and before either of us knew it, Kyle was already on his feet again and looking at us. We both blushed at this, not what you want your 'family' member to see.
I know that Kyle isn't my real son, but he is Horatio's and that means that he is too part of my family. My extended family-that is-like everybody at the lab. Family is really important to me, as well as Horatio and since Kyle is trying to become a good person by getting to know his dads…well girlfriend, I can at least give him a chance.
Horatio pulls the chair out for me and I sit, I then see father and son hug before they too sit down. We order our drinks with the waitress and after she leaves, we start talking.
"When is she due?" Kyle asks
"Next month-September the second" I tell him, "Not that far away"
"Sure isn't" Kyle agrees, "Have you come up with a name for her yet?" he asks
"Isabelle Michaela Caine" Horatio tells him
I can see how happy Horatio is that his first daughter will be born, he is a great father to Kyle and I can't wait to see him with Isabelle. I lean over to talk to Horatio some more; I wanted to make sure that what I was asking him was ok with him first, being that he is the father.
"What do you think of making Kyle the godfather of Isabelle?" I ask him, "He has a nice steady job and he can go places later on in life, he seems well suited to take care of our daughter"
"I think that that is a wonderful idea, why don't you ask him and see what he thinks"
I nod before straightening myself once more and facing Kyle, who is looking at us in a 'what is going on' way. I have to smile at this and I do have to say that he is going to be surprised when I ask him this.
"I have a question to ask you, mind you that you don't have to answer right now" I tell him
"Ok, Shoot"
"I was wondering if you wanted to be Isabelle's godfather?" I ask him
"For Real!" he asks me in complete surprise, "You want me to be a Godfather to Isabelle?"
"Yeah" I tell him, "You can go places in your life and if something were to happen to Horatio or I, I know that you will be able to take care of her"
"Wow, Yes, I would be honored to be her godfather"
"Great" I thank him
"You know that at first I was a little skeptical about my dad dating you, but I could see it in his eyes that he loved you a lot from the way that he would talk about you, to the way he would say your name" he told me out of the blue
"How is that?"
"He would say it with nothing but-nothing but love in his voice and when he did, his eyes would lighten up" he told me, "He really does love you a lot…um…Ms. Duquesne"
"Calleigh or Cal, but never Ms. Duquesne, that is my mothers name and I don't want to be my mother"
"Ok, Cal it is"
"Good"
As the waitress comes back with our drinks and we order our food, I can tell that Kyle will all right when Isabelle comes into this world. I for the other part am scared since this will be my first child and I have never gone through the birthing process, but there is no turning back now. Can't wait to see when God has in store for us in the next upcoming weeks.
9.
I am at the house alone today since Horatio is out of town on a case with Eric. He didn't want to leave knowing that I was soon to give birth to his daughter, but I told him that she wasn't due for another two weeks and that he would be back before then. I had Kyle come over and keep me company today since I am not even allowed to step foot inside the Lab. Thanks Horatio! Can you believe that, he was the one that technically kicked me out of the lab. Uhh, that man is crazy sometimes.
The only thing that Kyle and I did today was watch TV and play some chess, well I tried to play but I kept having these light pains in my lower back every so often. He was worried about me, but I told him that it was nothing. Not much happened after that and before we knew it, he was on his way into work since he was called in to work for the other night crew ME, who I have yet to learn the name of. Sad in a way, but he is new so it isn't my fault as of yet. As I cleaned the dishes before heading off to bed, I feel this stabbing sensation first on my back before it moves to my lower body. I let go of the sponge that I was using as I felt it again, but this time more constant. God it hurts! This time I literally fell to the floor on my knees. What is that wet feeling?
I look down and I see it, a bloody puddle. I think my water just broke. Oh god this hurts. I pulled myself up even through the pain and walk to the house phone. I have to call someone and since Horatio is out f town, the only person that I could think of is Alexx. As I dialed the number, I am once again struck with a more painful contraction.
"Hello?"
"Al-lexx" I grit through my teeth
"Calleigh, Hun what is wrong?"
"Oh God, It hurts" I cry out as I hold my stomach
"Calleigh" she asks me again
"My water…baby"
"I'm on my way!"
I let the phone drop to the floor as I sit and rub my stomach through the pain. I try to breathe like they taught me in my lamas class, but that shit don't help much. Horatio I am going to kill you! Never again am I having kids! I close my eyes and try to count and see how far apart they are in a mater of a few minutes the pain is back. 3 minutes apart, that is way too soon. I never thought that I would be going through labor this fast.
I hear the front door open and when I open my eyes again, I see Alexx in front of my face with the paramedics behind her. I try to smile, knowing that I cant so I don't even try. I grab her hand as another wave runs through me and I gasp. I can feel something moving and I know that it isn't me.
"Calleigh, don't push, not yet baby"
"But, it hurts"
"Don't push," She tells me once again, "Let me check to see if you are dilated enough"
I hear her ask one of the paramedics for a glove and pretty soon I feel her fingers inside me trying to see how far I am. At least the pressure went away for a few minutes. As she removes her fingers I hear her snap them off before I look at her once again.
"5 centimeters" she tells me, "That is fast Calleigh"
"Tell me about it"
"We need her on the bus fast!" I hear Alexx tell the paramedics and before I knew what was happening I was strapped in and we were on our way to the hospital
"Horatio"
"He is on his way Calleigh, I called him after you called me"
When we arrived at the hospital I was immediately wheeled into Labor and Delivery where I was soon to give birth to my daughter. I was hooked up to monitors and such, being that I was now in pain and they couldn't give me anything since I was too far along in my labor.
Now I lay on my side as the pain subsides and I close my eyes and gently breath in and out. Where are you Horatio? I hope that you make it in time to see your daughter being born. I grab onto the bed railing so that when another contraction comes I wont dig my nails into the soles of my palms.
I open my eyes and I see my doctor enter my room. I watch as she walks around checking my monitors and then the baby monitor too. She writes things on her pad and then places it on the end of my bed before looking at me.
"How are you feeling Calleigh?"
"A little better" I tell her
"Well I wanted to see how far you are so if you wouldn't mind can you lay on your back for me?"
I move to lie on my back and I lift one of my legs up. I can see that she already has a set of gloves on and then I feel pressure inside me. It also feels weird that I am having my doctor stick her fingers in me even if it is for checking how far along I am, it still feels weird.
As the pressure is gone and she throws her gloves away, I move back to my regular position and listen to what she tells me. Only two more centimeters to go before I give birth and once again I pray that Horatio makes it here on time.
Three hours have passed since I was 7 centimeters and now I am spread wide open, my legs on the stirrups and my hands on the railings. All I can do is scream as pain radiates through me. I scream for Horatio too and the next thing I know is that I have a warm feeling on my hand. I open my eyes and before them is none other then Horatio. When did he get here? I don't care; I really want this baby born now!! I push some more when told to and pretty soon I can feel the pressure being released and a cry fill the room.
I open my eyes to see my daughter lying on my stomach instead of being inside of it. I am amazed that Horatio and I have created this little life. I feel more pressure inside me and am told not to worry; it was just my placenta being delivered but that I did need to push.
So now, three days later I lie here in our bed, writing to all on how I became pregnant and how Horatio and I came to be. Did I mention to any of you that we are to be married in the next couple of months. I am soon to be Mrs. Horatio Caine. Horatio is currently in the bed next to me with Isabelle in his arms. She is a sweet baby, but when she is hungry, she really gets to you..like now. Well now I have to go. Isa is being a fussy little baby and wants my breast. A mother's work is never done.
SO! What did you think?? Please tell me!! Surprise coming up!! Like 11 more surprises. :)
