A few minutes later Alex and Kristina exited Nat's room. Giving the happy couple a moment of privacy. Rosalina was sitting next to Nat's bed just admiring Nat while he was holding Natalie for the first time. Suddenly she thought of something and started laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Nat finally losing eye contact with his daughter.
"What's funny is that you look like a mother who just had a baby while I look like the father that's been here all night with you." said Rosalina after she stopped laughing.
"Well thank you for making me feel less masculine in front of our daughter." said Nat with one of the goofiest grins he has ever giving to Rosalina which made her laugh even more.
"My pleasure." said Rosalina with a huge smile on her face.
After that the two remained in silence. Nat resumed at gazing at his daughter and Rosalina resumed at gazing both her fiancé and her daughter. Rosalina decide to break the silence again by asking Nat a question.
"So how does it feel to finally be a daddy?" asked Rosalina as she started to rub Nat's leg.
"It feels a lot more different than I expected." said Nat without looking at Rosalina.
"What did you expected?"
"Well at first I had a lot of doubts and insecurities. I didn't mention them to you because I don't want to make feel the same way. I tried to make you feel a little more confident than I was but getting back to my doubts and insecurities. I was little worried that wouldn't have any clue on how to take care of my daughter or that I would be a bad dad or that I wouldn't live long enough to see her grow and I never thought that all that will just go away once I held her on my arms for the first time." said Nat
"We'll I'm glad you're telling me this because the same thing happened to me." said Rosalina while the smile on her faced remained.
"Really what were you worried about becoming a mother?"
"Well like you I was also worried I wasn't going to be good mother also considering I never had an actual mother around me to give motherly advice and other motherly things." said Rosalina as her smile shrank a little.
"Oh… Listen Rosie I never asked you this but how old were you when your mom passed away? All I know that she passed away when you were younger but I don't know how young." asked Nat as he felt Natalie playing with his fingers.
Rosalina took a deep breath.
"I was six and she also passed away in a car accident like my dad did two years ago." said Rosalina trying to keep the small smile in her face.
"Oh… Now I get why you freaked out when you found out you were pregnant. You didn't want our child to grow up without a parent like you did." said Nat looking at Rosalina then back at Natalie.
"You know so well Nat." said Rosalina as her smile grew back a little.
"I can't wait until I'm home with you two." said Nat.
"Neither can I." said Rosalina as she slowly got up and gave Nat a kiss on the lips.
About a week later Rosalina was unintentionally napping on the living room couch. Her friend Kristina went to wake her up. It was around 7:00am.
"Rosie…wake up." said Kristina as she gently shook her friend awake.
"How long was I asleep this time?" asked Rosalina after she woke up.
"About 45 minutes but a better question would be how long did you sleep last night?" said Kristina showing a concerned look on her face.
"About three hours." said Rosalina as she gently rubbed her eyes.
"Straight or in gran total?"
"For once straight."
"You know Nat is coming back home today right?"
"Yes Kris I know is that I've just had my hands full this past week by the way thanks for helping me this past week Kris."
"You're welcome Natalie alone takes at least 80% of your time."
"80% Kris?!" said Rosalina with a slight surprised look on her face?
"Okay at least 95%." said Kristina after laughing slightly at Rosalina's surprised face.
"100% Kris. Why did Natalie had to be nocturnal like her father."
"Now I get the text you send me at three in the morning saying that Natalie is a female baby copy of Nat."
"Yeah thank god she's finally sleeping now."
"Does Nat know how much he and Natalie are alike?"
"Considering I call him at least four times day just to tell him about her I'm pretty sure he does." said Rosalina without been able to hold back her smile.
"Do you and Nat have any plans for baby number two?" asked Kristina in a devious way.
"NATALIE WASN'T EVEN PLANNED! NONE OF THIS PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WERE PLANNED!" screamed Rosalina before covering her own mouth after she started hearing Natalie crying.
Kristina bursted out laughing at Rosalina's mistake.
"You're despicable" said Rosalina before standing up to attend her daughter.
About an hour Rosalina heard a knock on the door.
"Hey Kris do you mind getting the door. I'm too busy feeding Natalie."
"You're bossy since you became a mother."
"I'm not bossy I'm only making you do some of the stuff I would of made Nat."
"You would of made your recently operated fiancé clean the entire apartment while you take care of Natalie?"
"No! And open the door Kris."
"What's the magic word?"
"Really Kristina?"
"Yes and what's the magic word?"
"Please." said Rosalina trying not to lose her temper.
"Geez you're cranky and bossy."
"I'm not bossy and cranky. I'm just sleep deprived and Nat deprived."
"Yeah no kidding by the way you know I'm just teasing you." said Kristina before opening the door.
"Hey Kris. Hey Rosie. Nat should be her shortly." greeted Alex as he entered the apartment.
"Alex can you come over here?" said Rosalina as she slowly stood up from the couch
"Sure. What can I help you?" said Alex as he walked towards Rosalina.
"Can you carry your niece for a moment?"
"Of course I can." said Alex as he opened his arm to receive his little niece.
"Thanks." said Rosalina as she carefully handed over Natalie to Alex then started walking near the door.
"You're going to squeeze my brother to death when you see him?" said Alex as he carefully sat on the couch.
"I think I can answer this for her by saying hell yes." said Kristina as she closed the door.
There was another knock on the door. Rosalina opened it and hid behind the door to surprise Nat.
"Here's the recovering girl magnet." Said Thomas as him and David helped Nat in.
"Where's Rosie?" asked a sore Nat.
Rosalina quickly came from behind and wrapped her arms around Nat.
"That should answer your question." said David as he and Thomas slowly got away from Nat.
"I've missed you." mumbled Rosalina.
"I've missed you two."
Rosalina moved from behind Nat and faced. She slowly gave him a kiss after which she gave Nat another tight hug and whispered to herself.
"Our nightmare is finally ending
