Christian's POV
Why the fuck is this so hard? I made my first million dollars by the time I was twenty one. Why the hell can't I fucking make a crib? These fucking instructions are in Italian. Why couldn't I just agree to have someone set it up like Ana suggested? Oh yes, my pride. I figured it'd be easy. It was just one giant puzzle though. Ana sits in the rocker by the window and watches me with amusement while she folds tiny clothes. Carson is putting all the baby toys into a little basket and putting diapers and wipes under the changing table.
Ana's due date is in a week. We're just finishing up the butterfly and dragonfly themed nursery. The room is yellow and light purple. The only pink is some of the butterflies. Most of Emma's clothes are pink though. Her car seat is pink, black and white. There's little flowers that are black and pink. Carson constantly asks why Emma needs all this stuff. It's funny because there's baby stuff everywhere. The living room has the bouncer and the swing. We have a high chair in the dining room. Ana and I have boppy pillows and a bassinet in our room. We have a stash of diapers in almost every room. We have a baby tub in the bathroom. Our house is on baby overload.
" Mommy, how much longer until Emma is here?", Carson asks. Ana smiles every time he calls her mommy.
" Soon Sweetie. She still has about a week to cook. At the rate your father is going with that crib, she needs to take her time.", Ana jokes. Carson giggles and helps Ana fold things.
Two hours later, I finally have the crib assembled and the bedding in place. It's time to add the final couple touches to the nursery. The mobile and Emma's name. I attach the mobile to the crib and turn it on. The soft music that leaves it is perfect for Emma. I carefully hang the wooden, light pink 'Emma' on the wall and step back to admire my handiwork.
Ana is cooking dinner, even though I told her to relax and we'd order in. She has Carson setting the table. I go into the kitchen and kiss the side of her neck. My hand drifts to our daughter's home for the next week or so. She's not moving at the moment meaning she's either sleeping or getting sleepy. I smile and picture what she'll look like in my head. Ana and I decided not to get a 3D ultrasound. We want to see who she looks like more when we get to meet her in person and not through a computer screen.
After dinner, I give Carson a bath and get him into his pajamas. I read him a story but once it's over, he's still wide awake. He smiles at me and I smile back. I can tell by the way he's acting that he has a question. I rub his hand softly.
" What's on your mind?", I ask him. He sighs and shifts a little bit.
" Do you think I'm gonna be a good big brother? What if Emma doesn't like me? What if Mommy loves Emma more than me? What happens if I drop her?", Tears fill his eyes. I smile slightly and kiss his forehead.
" Carson Grey, you know the answers to all those questions. She's not even born yet and you're the best big brother Emma could ask for. Emma will love you so much. Mommy would never love Emma more than you. She's not giving away any of her love for you to Emma, she's just making more love to give to her. You'd never drop Emma, of course whenever you hold her either Mommy or I will need to be there and you'll have to sit down. We'd never let you drop her and you'd never let yourself drop her. You're her protector.", I tell him. He nods his head and smiles.
" Can we get Emma a present that I can give her when she's born?", He asks. I nod my head.
" Of course we can. Now, you go to sleep. Just think, the faster the days pass, the sooner your little sister will be here.", I tell him. He quickly shuts his eyes and I chuckle. I kiss his forehead and head out of his room. I shut his light off but leave his door open. He doesn't like it closed.
I go into Ana and I's room and change into a pair of sweatpants. Ana is sitting up in bed with a book on her belly, reading quietly. Her eyes shift up and she smiles at me. I lay in bed next to her and caress her stomach. There's a series of taps against my palm that have me smiling from ear to ear. I'm going to meet this little person soon. Ana sighs and puts her hand on top of mine.
" You've woken her up. She was being so calm.", Ana pouts. I laugh and kiss the side of her stomach.
" She knows who her daddy is. She's not even born yet and she's a daddy's girl.", I look into Ana's eyes and fall in love with her even more.
" She definitely does and she loves her Daddy.", Ana says quietly.
" Her daddy loves her as well. Do you know who else her daddy loves?", I whisper. I'm still staring into Ana's eyes.
" Who?", she questions.
" Her daddy loves her big brother...But her daddy also loves...He loves her mommy.", I say. Tears fill Ana's eyes.
" Well luckily, her mommy loves her big brother and...Her mommy loves her daddy. More than she ever thought possible.", Tears spill from Ana's eyes. I sit up and wipe them away. I press my lips to hers and kiss her softly.
" I love you so much. I have since the day you walked into my office.", I brush the hair out of her eyes.
" I love you too. Ever since the first day.", She smiles brightly and presses her lips against mine. I look down and see our daughter going haywire. I chuckle and press my hand where the kicks are.
" Emma Jayde Grey, you go to sleep. Mommy needs rest and she can't do that with you having soccer practice in there.", I say to Ana's stomach. I feel a hard kick against my palm and then she calms down. Not much but enough. My stubborn little girl, my princess, my little monkey. I can't wait to hold her and kiss her. I can't wait to be her Daddy.
