In the last month of Carols pregnancy, David would let her move only a inch and he always brought things to her which sometimes annoyed Carol as she hated being treated like an invalid.
Carol was sitting at the table eating her breakfast while David sat with her and watched her, she looked so beautiful when she ate and Carol looked at him smiling."Do you get a fetish about watching me eat or something?", She asked and David nodded, "I always have a fetish looking at you." He responded and he reached over and kissed her. Simon came in then, his hair all over the place, "Alright lovebirds, what's for breakfast?", he asked, looking over by the stove. "Toast.", David said simply and Simon groaned, "Oh come on, I'm your guest.", He said with a smile, David cut in, "Only until you get a place of your own." Carols back began to ache again. "I'm going back to bed, David. My backs playing up." She said as David helped her up and followed her. Simon couldn't help but giggle to himself. If David followed her upstairs then that only meant one thing. As soon Carol lay on the bed, she fell instantly asleep, she could often feel the baby moving inside her at night which meant she couldn't sleep. David watched her sleep and gently rested his head against her shoulder while rubbing her stomach. Then he too fell asleep.
A gush of wet interrupted Carol from a dream she was having. The bottom of the bed was wet as was her leggings. She tried sitting herself up but David had his arm drapped over her. The clock read eleven o clock which meant she had slept two and a half hours. "David,"she whispered, wincing slightly as a contraction hit her. David woke up instantly, "What's the matter?", he asked concerned, "Nothing just having a baby.", She mumbled. At first nothing registered then David bolted from the bed and ran to the landing shouting for Simon, "Simon, phone an ambulance. Carols waters have broken!", He yelled and Simon quickly went into the living room. David went back into the bedroom where Carol was now lying on the floor panting, "Its ok Darling, the ambulance is on its way.", He said soothingly and Carol rested her head on his shoulder, her face drenched in sweat. "I hope it hurries up, I think this baby is well on!", she yelled as pain overcame her and David held her hand as she rode out the pain. Eventually the ambulance arrived.
"That's it Mrs Wicks. Your almost there." The midwife was making regular checks on Carol while David was holding Carols hand. Then, David said to Carol, "Just lean forward abit darling.", Carol did as she was told and the midwife watched as David sat behind Carol and Carol leaned back and rested against him, "Its better like this rather than have her taking it lying down." He said to the midwife. Carol began to pant again and she took hold of David's hands and held them tightly as she pushed. "The heads out, Mrs Wicks." The midwife said and David tried to have a look but when he did the head, it wasn't a good idea. He fainted, falling back against the pillows. Carol rolled her eyes, "Men,eh?", She muttered then she screamed as intense pain hit her and she pushed. "That's it Mrs Wicks, one more push.", and Carol pushed for the last time and David awoke just in time to see a beautiful baby be delivered into the world. "You have a son.", the midwife said with a smile and David's eyes filled with tears of emotion as his new born son was being cleaned up. Carol was smiling up at him and he kissed her with all the love he had for her, "I love you," she whispered and David replied softly, "I love you too, Mrs Wicks." before he nuzzled her neck. Then the baby was placed in her arms and David looked into the handsome face of his son. He was going to take after him as he could see tufty black hair on top of his scalp. The baby opened its eyes after he stopped crying, "he's got your eyes Carol."David whispered as he saw that the baby's eyes were dark blue like Carols. Carol kissed the baby's head and they both stared at the baby for a very long time.
"Its all over!", Simon announced and Bianca and Sonya hugged each other while the kids cheered, Morgan doing his happy dance. "Have they got a name for him yet?", Bianca asked and Simon shook his head, "No, not yet. We can in and see them." And they all went in. The baby was in its crib sleeping and the kids stared at it, "Why do you think of your uncle?", David asked and Tiffany answered, "He's very cute and he's very wrinkly. A bit like you grandad but with less hair.", David then slapped Tiffanys bum, "You cheeky mare.", He said affectionately. Bianca and Sonya took turns to kiss Carols cheek, How are you feeling, mum?", Sonya asked, Carol smiled, "I'm good. I'm abit sore but what is to be expected when something the size of a watermelon is trying to come out of you." Bianca was holding her brother in her arms, "he's beautiful mom", she gushed and david smiled.
"Come on, come on." David mumbled softly as the baby bawled it's head off. He had been home three days now and had already made his mark in the house. David took him into the kitchen and went to get a clean bottle from a top cupboard but his shirt was wide open and the baby then tried to suckle him. "Oi, don't do that mate, there's nothing down there for you." He said startled just as Simon and Carol came downstairs. "Must have thought you were breast feeding him.", Simon chuckled. David then sat the baby upright and began to feed him, Carol watched them with so much love. "Has he got a name yet?", Simon intervened. David and Carol looked at each other and David said, "His name is Harry. Harry Simon Wicks." He added and Simon looked touched and felt tears come to his eyes, "Aww Davie, you didn't need to do that.", He exclaimed and Carol patted his arm, "Your family Simon and you've been a good help. Which is why we've decided that you can officially move in with us." Simons eyes widened and he hugged Carol. "And I'll always be there to look after Harry.", Simon promised and David passed Harry over to Carol. Harry had fallen asleep and Carol whispered, "Mummy and Daddy love you Harry. We love you with all our heart and we hope you never forget that." She kissed his cheek and David put his arm around her. This was the beginning of their new life and they liked it.
The End.
