The Deal About Us

94

"What the heck?!" I exclaimed looking at myself in the mirror.

"What happened?" Taylor asked standing outside the door

"Come in"  I muttered

"Why were you yelling?" she asked

"Are you seeing my belly? It's HUGE!"

"Well..." 

"Russell wasn't this huge. Do you know what that means? I'll have difficulty working with this huge belly refraining me to watch where I'm going and this f*cking tiredness. Will I take a break or do what's needed I mean-"

"Shut up" she cut me off

"My earlier pregnancy outfits won't fit. It's a costly business giving birth"

"By the way when are you getting married?"

"I don't know yet"

"Mummy!" Russell yelled running inside the room. I picked him up in my arms and scowled

"What did mummy say about running inside the house?" I asked him and he pouted

"Uncle is here" he said. I put him down and tried to kneel to his level.

"Tell him, I'm coming" I said and he ran off again

"Slow down!" I yelled after him

"What were his first words again?" Taylor asked

"He's a true mafia man, he barged into one of my meetings and said 'Mom gun' not with such clarity but yeah"

"Woah! I don't think anyone ever said that" she exclaimed

"Well....."

"Woah! When are you due?" Keith exclaimed as I walked down the stairs

"Any day" I replied

"What do you want?" I asked him sitting down on the couch

"Well..I-I-" He stuttered

"What did I say about stuttering?" I cut him off

"It's not easy okay? You are literally the scariest woman on earth" 

"Human. Anyway, what is it?"

"I want to marry Mia"

"So?"

"What 'so?' Can I marry her?"

"Will she say yes? That's a question. I ain't a priest to permit you to marry. Go ask her idiot"

"I mean-"

"I cannot get her to say yes. I'm a don, not a cupid. Now- OH.MY.GOD" I said and then yelled

"What happened?" Taylor and Keith asked standing up

"My water broke you idiots" I yelled

Tyler walked inside our bedroom and I smiled at the resemblance of my child to him.

"Congratulations Mr. Hernandez, your daughter is born" I whispered smiling at him. He sat beside me and held her hand.

"I love you" he whispered smiling at her

"I love her too" I whispered. He looked at me and grinned

"I love you a lot" he said caressing my cheek

"I love you too" I whispered and kissed him. Our daughter placed delicately in my arms between us. Taylor cleared her throat and we broke our kiss. I smiled at Russell standing eagerly beside Taylor and beckoned him towards me.
