Another month had past, and slowly but surely, Carly was nearing the end of her pregnancy. It was only a matter of weeks, and Ted would be officially on break...so he could be home the moment Carly would go into labor. She couldn't help but grumble as she tried to zip up her maternity dress so she could finish getting ready for Brett and Jill's wedding reception. Like Ted and Carly, they also got married on their own, having gone to Jamacia only weeks earlier.
As Ted walked into their bedroom, and heard Carly's grumblings, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Ted?" she called.
"I'm right behind you," he called back, startling Carly.
Carly then playfully smacked Ted's arm. "Don't startle me like that."
"Sorry babe, I couldn't resist," he said as he kissed her cheek. "What's up?"
"Would you please do me a huge favor and finish zipping my dress?"
"Sure," he said as he easily zipped the dress the rest of the way. "There you go, you are set," he said as he kissed her bare shoulder. "You look beautiful!"
"Thanks, but I sure don't feel beautiful. I feel like Frosty the Snowman."
Ted couldn't help but chuckle as he put on his suit jacket. "Oh come on. Your alot sexier than Frosty the Snowman."
Carly noticeably rolled her eyes as they left the house and headed for the Clinton Country Club. A few fans noticed Ted, and after signing autographs, they walked into the private room that Brett and Jill reserved.
"Wow," Carly exclaimed as she and Ted walked into the room. As they looked around, the room was beautifully decorated with white Christmas lights and beautiful red roses on each table. "They decorated the room so beautiful!"
"Yeah, the room does look nice!" Ted agreed. Just then, Ted's parents noticed them and walked toward them to say hello.
"Carly how are you feeling?" Jan asked as her husband and son walked away.
"Oh pretty good. I am definietly ready to have this baby though!" she exclaimed.
Both women giggled as Jill walked over. "Hey there is the beautiful bride!" Carly exclaimed, as she gave Jill a hug. "How was Jamacia?"
"Jamacia was so beautiful, and we had the perfect weather. I couldn't have asked for a better day."
"That's always nice to have such a pretty day on an important day of your life," Jan said as both Carly and Jill agreed. Just then, Mike and Christy walked over and joined the group.
"Mom, I have a great idea," Mike exclaimed. "Since all of our family is here, why don't we take a family picture."
"That's a great idea!" Jan and Ted Sr. then gathered Mike and Christy, Brett and Jill and Ted and Carly, and they all posed in front of the lighted arch near the head table. Ted stood closely behind Carly, and couldn't help but take a hold of her hand and lovingly squeezed it. Carly smiled even bigger, and squeezed Ted's hand in return.
After dinner, the dance soon started, and Ted held Carly close as they danced along some of the other guests. "You know, this is going to be us in a few months," he said as he kissed the top of her head.
Carly looked up, and exchanged smiles with her husband. "I know...and believe me I can't wait! It will be even better to have our son there too."
Ted smirked as he and Carly quickly kissed. "Can you believe it that we are going to be parents in like a matter of weeks?"
"I know. The past several months really seemed to fly by!" Carly exclaimed.
"You got that right, and before we know it, this kid will be going to kindergarten."
"Ok, I don't even want to think about that!" Carly exclaimed. "I just can't wait to not be pregnant anymore."
A few more weeks past, and now Carly was within 2 days of her due date. On the morning of Ted's birthday, she actually woke up before him, and when she returned to their bedroom about a half hour later with her special surprise, she was just excited to actually be able to pull it off.
She put the breakfast plate and orange juice on the night stand, and began to leave feather kisses on his shoulder all the way up to his neck to try and wake him up. "Ted..." she whispered. "It's time to wake up."
"I don't want to," he exclaimed as he threw a pillow over his head. "Shouldn't the birthday boy be able to sleep in?"
"Normally yes," Carly said as she took the pillow off his head. "But, I made you this fabulous breakfast that is starting to get cold...and plus if you don't wake up soon, you will be late for your radio interview for your movie."
Ted slowly sat up and bed, and welcomed the plate of pancakes, eggs and sausage. "Happy birthday baby!" Carly exclaimed as she seductively kissed Ted before handing him the plate.
"Hey don't start that! You know we can't finish it!" he said as he eagerly took the plate. "Man, I can't believe I have a radio interview today-today of all days! I'm supposed to be off. What if you go into labor?"
"Well, at least the interview is only a few hours away, so you won't be too far. Plus, I don't think I'll be going into labor-I have a feeling this baby is never coming out."
"Why do you say that?" Ted asked.
"Well, I really haven't felt him move within the last few hours," Carly said, sounding concerned.
"Don't worry, I bet Alex is sleeping in just like I wish I was. Plus, didn't your doctor mention that you can hardly feel a baby move at full term because there is little room. I'm sure everything is fine."
"Yeah, I'm probably worrying over nothing," Carly said. After Ted got finished with his breakfast, he jumped in the shower while Carly did the dishes. When he walked downstairs fastening his watch and to put on his shoes, Carly could still see the little drops of water in his hair.
"Are you sure your ok with me doing this interview?" Ted asked one more time before grabbing his keys.
"Yes. Besides, your mom is going to my doctor appointment with me, and I'm pretty sure nothing is going to happen. It's just a routine check up since I'm full term to see if I have dialted at all. Cross your fingers though that I may get sent to the hospital."
"I'll cross my fingers and toes," Ted said as he cradled Carly's face and leaned in for a soft kiss. "I have my cell phone. I love you."
"I love you too. Have a good interview!" Carly said as Ted walked out the door. After getting the rest of the dishes done, Carly also jumped into the shower and got ready for her appointment. Within the hour, Ted's mom picked her up, and soon the both of them were in the doctor office.
"So Carly, how are you feeling?" her doctor asked.
"Pretty much like Frosty the Snowman," she said with a smile. The doctor nodded as she got out the little machine to listen to the heart beat. As she continued to move the little machine over Carly's belly, a look of concern grew across her face. "Is something wrong?" Jan asked.
"Well, I could barely hear the heartbeat, but don't worry, that could be because of the position the baby is in. I'm just going to grab the sonogram machine. I'll be right back."
Carly glanced at Jan with horror. "Do you think something is wrong?"
Jan patted Carly's hand. "Don't worry, I'm sure everything is fine. Like the doctor said, the baby might be positioned in a weird way."
Carly's doctor then re-appeared in the room, and started the sonogram. As she continued, the same look of concern stayed on her face. "Dr. Rodgers, what's going on?" Carly asked adimently.
"According to what I see on the sonogram, it looks like the baby is in the breech position with the cord wrapped around his neck. After I get you cleaned off, I would suggest you get to the hospital as quickly as you can. You need to have this baby today."
