Hey my darlings. I hope you had a great day yesterday. Merry Christmas folks and I wish the best to all of you. In the meantime here I am with chapter 13. I wrote it yesterday, because I needed to write about them and I did as always. So … I hope you will enjoy. I will try to write this story as best as I can. Thank you again so far for your support and thanks especially to rapunzelclayre, MonroesAudrey , Lenaire Jean , FanFicFan305 , Maria P Bet, sprog101 for your constant support to this story. I would like to thank and the guests that I cannot reply to for their reviews as well. Always faithful to Will and Lou!
Fatherhood and Motherhood. Two sacred words. And Clark and I will cherish these two words as best as we can. It's happening for us. We're going to have not one, but two babies. Our children. Two little miracles. And watching Clark's pregnancy every single day, watching our children growing every single day inside her, well, that's feeling alive. Having the woman you love as much as she loves you and two beautiful kids as the outcome of our love. We are blessed. I am blessed.
It's unbelievable how quickly time goes by. We are in our 29th week of pregnancy. Two more months for us to face our beautiful kids. Willa and Clark Traynor. The pregnancy courses give us both a lot of confidence as well as the guidance and the medical care that Dr. Boyle gives us.
And today we are watching a labor DVD with Clark. She insisted and I wanted to watch too, truth be told. As we were watching, Clark laying on the sofa and me next to her on my wheelchair, like the first time we ever saw a DVD together, everything seemed pretty wonderful.
"Oh my God this is a life miracle Will"
"Yes, yes it is Clark" I said looking at her smiling as she was holding my hand
And then the to be mom on the DVD started screaming. The pain part was in front of us.
"Oh! What …. Oh I didn't see that coming. Oh my God Will. This woman suffers"
They had prepared us in the pregnancy courses and Dr. Boyle too -since we don't want Clark to take epidural anesthesia because of the possible side effects- that there was going to be unbelievable pain in the natural birth. But it is a complete different thing seeing this. And although I was also terrified by what we were watching now, I tried to calm Clark down. This woman on the DVD was in tremendous pain because she didn't have epidural anesthesia and I couldn't bare the thought of Clark being in so much pain .. But we won't take a risk with the epidural anesthesia since it may have side effects. The chance for these side effects is quite small, but exists. So, epidural anesthesia is completely off the table. And then I thought that the pain gets better after a while as they told us in the pregnancy courses and as Dr. Boyle explained to us how a birth is. And when the baby was delivered in the DVD I told her:
"Shhhh we'll be fine Clark. Here. Look at that right now. The baby is there. The pain is over."
And we both felt so great. The little baby was there and the mother was so happy as if she felt no pain before. I looked at her and she told me:
"You know what Will? The pain will be so worthwhile. I can't wait for us to become parents. To have and see our babies"
"Me too Clark. Me too" And then she came closer and we kissed.
In the meantime we did some changes on the nursery room. We painted the cridles , one blue and one pink now that we know their sexes. In our room we had placed the portrait that Clark had ordered as a surprise to me, the portrait from pictures from our first dance in Alicia and Ruperts' wedding, our kiss on our honeymoon room in Mauritius and the picture with us and our babies together. We are waking up every morning and seeing this great portrait.
Tonight is the baby shower for our Willa and our Clark. Our mothers, Treena and Georgina organized this all together. The labor DVD had ended but we stayed there, Clark on the sofa and me next to her for a little bit more. Clark needs getting rest more than before considering her belly is getting bigger and her back is tired.
"Treena and Georgina are still preparing the last details for the shower party"
"Well, Clark I think you can't wait for tonight"
"Well yeah I'm excited Will. Are you?"
"I'm excited about everything Clark. But I have to tell you something. Since a baby shower is clearly something that includes girl bonding … well my dad, your dad and Nathan set up a guy's night for us. We were thinking of taking Grandpa and little Thomas with us as well. We will stay just for a while and we'll come back later in the end of the night. We will be lost with all you ladies in there Clark."
"Oh you can mock all you want mister. But I understand. I am happy for you. A guy's night sounds perfect. You are right. You go and have some male bonding. I'll be fine with all the ladies around me, even if I will miss you. Because I will miss you so much husband"
"Come here" I said and we kissed
"I'll miss you too Clark, you know that. And if you will feel that you need me there, just say it so and I will be there instantly"
"You are something else Will"
"I know" I said teasing her and then I continued:
"Clark, you are my fresh air. I can't believe there's a baby shower for OUR babies and that in two months from now, we'll have them home"
"You'll be a great daddy"
"I will sure try Clark. Even if I am in this bloody wheelchair"
"Being in that wheelchair means nothing. A good father is the one who teaches his children to be extraordinary. To be good people, who treats them right, who loves them and supports them and you Will Traynor are the most caring, the most wonderful and the most extraordinary man than anyone could ever be. You are the most capable man, the most capable father and you will raise our children perfectly. I know that and you should know that too."
I was so moved and I smiled at her and told her:
"We will be extraordinary together. Our love is extraordinary and our life with our kids will be great. And you are going to be a great mom too. I love you Louisa Clark. We can do this. We will be great parents and our children will be great. Only with you Clark. Only together. You and me, before, after, always together"
"Oh how much I love you Will Traynor"
We kissed and then she said:
"Well I think it's time for us to start getting ready"
"Okay" I said as we smiled at each other and started preparing ourselves for tonight.
Nathan came to do my physio and get me dressed as well as my mother came to help Clark because her pregnancy at this point does not allow her to bend to dress herself or me for that matter as before. Just until she'll have our babies. We have to be extra careful at this point and we are. And we have all the help we need.
Clark and I. We share a life, a heart, a soul.
Louisa Clark and Will Traynor. Together with our kids. In two months from now.
