? Kim’s p.o.v?

It have been almost two months now that I have been living on my own and honestly it haven’t been easy but I love the quiet,the peace and most importantly the privacy of being in my own territory and no one invading my privacy.

It ain’t easy but it is a good feeling.

I stayed in Tyler’s house for about three days before I eventually got the place I was in now. It was a three bedroom apartment and I was glad because my child would take a room and I would take mine and who knows the last room can be a study or a nursery for my child.

Tyler have been so supportive and I was super grateful for that,he mentioned about me getting a comfortable and spacy place because a child needed to grow where there was space and not some congested area or something. The dude might have been so nice to help me with the foundational set up of my baby’s room,he took it upon himself to design the basics and he did a good job and it was fun watching him fuss over baby’s product. He focused on it like it was a project or something and his dedication for a simple thing like this got me awed.

When we saw this house I thought it was too expensive and way out of my budget and he offered to complete the payment but I refused,I wasn’t a charity case and he can’t just continue to help me with everything. When he knew I wasn’t gonna take the money for free,he offered to deduct it from my monthly salary. I agreed because that was like a loan and I would definitely pay back before the month end.

Most days I am usually alone during the day unless if Tyler drops by to check on me sometimes and I think that is really nice of him but I can’t just help but think he is still in the Philippines because he is worried that no one would take care of me. I felt like a liability again and when I told him about it,he waved it off saying he had unfinished business here in the Philippines and he also teased about wanting to see my child before going back to new York because he promised his mom that he was gonna get her a picture of the baby.

He got me a housekeeper even though I refused at first. The lady was a college student and she dropped by thrice a week and I liked it like that,she was about 20 years or so and she was so sweet. I didn’t like her coming around everyday because she had school and she had her life to live also. Tyler isn’t aware of the bed development we both made,he still thinks she comes everyday and go home before evening and I wasn’t about to tell him because he would fuss about it again.

He fusses about everything.

I don’t know the gender of my baby yet but I already bought tons of things,I definitely wanted a girl child and i sincerely hoped I have a girl child.

What would I name her?

Or what would I name him?

I haven’t thought about guys name yet but I would want my daughter’s name to be either one of this names; Charlotte or Annabel. I don’t know the one I would love her to bear.

If it’s a boy child i would love to name him Jesse or Andrea. I love the two names.

I designed the room I wanted to be my child’s room with my motherly instinct,I wanted a girl child ,Why don’t I act with faith then? The room was pink and I loved it that way.

I got tons of baby products the last time I went to a shop and it wasn’t an easy task to carry it out of the shop.

I haven’t gotten a baby cot yet and I needed to get one but I was lazy to go to the mall or anywhere for that matter not to talk of carrying the stuff home,it wouldn’t be an easy task and I wasn’t up for that . As much as I would have loved to pick the cot myself my body and energy said otherwise so I have decided to give Leah some money if she drops by tomorrow to help me get a cot. I know she would be thrilled about it whereas most girls her age would have been embarrassed about something like that.

The girl is obsessed about everything babies and she might have gotten me some cute clothes. The clothes were so cute that I would have worn it if it was my size.

It was late noon already and I haven’t eaten lunch yet because I was preoccupied with setting things up in my baby’s room. I think I was obsessed with the arrangements there and I have lost counts of how many times I arranged and disarranged the room giving myself unnecessary stress,but I wanted the place to be perfect before my baby’s appearance.

I ordered Chinese takeouts for lunch/dinner because I am well aware that I wouldn’t be taking any normal food apart from this today unless if I wanted to sneak junk into my stomach. No, that isn’t a good idea.

I stood up immediately I heard the sound of the doorbell,my stomach was grumbling loudly and I was glad I was going to get food into my stomach soon.

I opened the door to reveal a delivery boy.

“Hello” he greeted.

“Hi” I replied impatiently gesturing for him to bring the paper so I can sign and collect my orders from him.

“You ordered for orange chicken soup, broccoli, rice balls and salad. Is that right ma’am?” He asked.

What is with them and their formalities,give me my food let me go inside and eat.

I was about to reply when my stomach growled loudly again and the guy looked at me offering me a small smile. I wasn’t embarrassed because this was all his fault,if he have given me my food I wouldn’t be standing here.

“Yes,can I get my order now?”

“Yes ma’am but I would like to inform you that the food was brought to you in good shape and it wasn’t tampered with in anyways”. He rambled on and I sighed.

I was getting more hungry by the minute and I was also tired standing on my feet.

“Sign here then” he said bringing out a pen and I collected it hastily before signing the paper and pushing it back into his hands before he gave me my orders.

I collected it and I closed the door after me immediately,I heard him Mumble a goodbye but my mind was far from there.

The guy talked too much for a delivery boy.

I moaned as I devoured the food,it tasted so good and I soon consumed every single thing.

Not my fault,it is the baby’s.

?????

“I can come over tomorrow morning if you want me to” Leah said and I immediately waved the idea off with my hands.

“No you don’t have to”.

“I want to,I can help you with the little work left. You know we can set up the cot together” she suggested again.

She brought the cot over this morning and she rambled about how everyone in the shop gave her a stinky eyes when she told them that the cot was for the baby she was expecting but she wasn’t even pregnant and her stomach was flat as a chopping board but trust Leah to say something like that. She got a pretty cot and I liked it,I highly doubted if I could have gotten something pretty as that if I went myself. Remember when I said she was obsessed with everything babies.

“I remember you telling me you have exams tomorrow”

“That doesn’t mean anything” she argued.

“Of course it doesn’t mean anything” I said sarcastically. “But you still need to pass and I saw you peeping at your books a while ago”..

“I_it isn’t that serious” she stuttered.

“Sure it isn’t but you still need to pass. Go home or go to the library or any comfortable place to read. I am okay here”.

“Okay,if you say so” she said smiling.

“Please come along with roasted potatoes spiced with enough pepperoni and…” I paused “vinegar and chips or whatever was added to the last one you brought” I told her.

Her mom makes good food.

“You like that?” She asked pretending to gag.

“Of course,why?”

“I don’t like it and I thought you didn’t like it too. Why the f--k would vinegar be added to roasted spiced potatoes. Tell me you don’t Love it please” she pleaded.

“I love it. Alot and i think it is spicy. Your mom makes good food”.

“Alright, alright” she said waving her hands. “Anything else?”

“Nothing except from the food. Nothing else” I told her

“You sure?”.

“Of course,do you want to add anything else?”

“Yes, some green peas. Mom made a veggie rice yesterday and she added the peas,it is…”

“I don’t want that” I cut her off.

“Sure you don’t but I would still come along with it. Who knows you might change your mind” she teased.

“No” I deadpanned.

“Okay, okay. I should be on my way now” she said before picking her bag and she flashed me a mysterious toothy smile and I raised an eyebrow.

She was cute in a weird way.

??????

I have been setting the cot for about an hour after Leah left but I still wasn’t getting it and it was harder to bend down by the minute. I couldn’t even bend my back without feeling pain.

I thought cots were always set up before a customer buys it but this was different,it wasn’t set already and I had to set it myself. I regretted not taking Leah’s help but she had exams and I didn’t want to hold her down for anything.

I gulped another glass of water eyeing the cot cautiously.

“How the f--k am I meant to do this?” I lamented.

I got back to work on it,I fixed it thinking it was perfect and it just happens again that one of the bolts loosened or one of the nuts was not where it was supposed to be.

After about three hours of doing this I decided to leave it this way,I can do with some help whenever Leah comes around,she would know how to fix things like this better than me.

I made my way to the kitchen,it was few minutes after eight in the night. So much time for something that didn’t work out.

I settled for the bread In the fridge and I was so lazy to fry eggs so I eventually decided to use margarine.

Anything is cool as long as I get something into my stomach.

I just ate the last slice of bread when I heard the sound of the bell alerting me that someone was at the door.

Okay,it was late already. Who could it be.

I was about to stand up when the bell sounded again.

Take it easy,I am not carrying myself alone.

“Who is it?” I asked.

“It’s Tyler” the person replied.

Tyler? This was pretty late.

I opened the door to reveal a wet Tyler.

I didn’t even realize that rain was falling,that explains the mad cold Tonight.

“Hello,come in” I said gesturing him inside and he took off his wet coat. “Caught in the rain?” I asked.

“Yes,was around this area and the rain started,I decided not to drive in the rain and i decided to pay you a visit” he paused “how are you doing?”.

“Fine I guess”.

“You don’t look so well” he said again.

“Believe me I am fine,just tired” I said looking at him,the rain made the material of his shirt cling to his body like a second skin. Don’t judge me I wasn’t checking him out even though the guy was undoubtedly hot “let me get you a towel” I told him before disappearing farther into the house.

I came back to meet him on the same spot.

“I didn’t say you should stand there. Aren’t you cold,come have a seat” I offered.

“No I don’t want to leave trail of water on the floor,you know my clothes are dripping wet now”. He said and I handed him the towel.

He took off his shirt and looked at me “is it okay if I pull this off too?” He asked me

“Of course. Your clothes are wet and you wouldn’t want to wear female clothings right? But I can check if I have a big shirt and a short. I would be right back” I told him.

“Easy” he called after me as I almost tripped over something and I nodded.

I rummaged through my drawer and I eventually saw a big sweatshirt and pants. I hope it was his size because he had the broad chest things guys had.

I met him in the dinning rummaging through the fridge. In just his boxers short?

“Did you already eat?” He asked me

“Of course” I replied “here, put this on” I said handling the clothes to him and he looked at me before twitching his lips up in a funny manner.

“This would get torn” he said gesturing to the short and my eyes widened,he wasn’t serious right? “Just kidding. Just kidding,you should see the look on your face” he said before we both bursted into laughter.

??????

“You mean you did this for almost four hours? What is Leah for then?” He asked me.

The rain didn’t stop early so Tyler was staying for the night,I could do with some company and there was a spare room so there was no problem and he have accommodated me too right?

“She has exams tomorrow” I told him.

“Still yet you shouldn’t have done this for about five_ four hours. You are just stressing yourself”.

“It wasn’t up to that”I said again.

“Sure keep telling yourself that”.

“It was nothing,you don’t have to fuss about it”. I whined.

“Of course,can you please pass me that nut over there” he said gesturing to the pack beside me.

Tyler offered to help me set up the cot and in few minutes we were already moving somewhere. It is obvious I am the only one that knows next to nothing about setting things like this up. He was putting on my sweatshirt and short and saying he looked funny was an understatement,he looked worst than funny. The sweatshirt could pass for a guy’s own but the short was the problem,it made him look like a clown and I have stopped myself from laughing more than once whenever he moved.

We continued to set it up,him doing the big job and I passing the instruments to him. It was late in the night and he have told me to go to bed more than once.

“Can you help me get that?” He asked pointing to another instrument.

“Sure” I nodded. I was moving to get it when a sharp pain shot through my thighs to my legs. “Arrghhh” I groaned loudly.

“What’s that? Are you okay?” He asked coming to my side immediately.

I nodded and was about to move again when another painful one shot through my thighs again and my legs wobbled.

“Shit,are you sure you are okay?” He asked again and I shook my head.

I was not okay,it felt like my thighs were on fire.

I wanted to seat.

I shook my head.

“Here,sit here for a while. Do you want water?” He asked immediately I sat on a nearby chair.

I was calm for a while when I sat down until the pain came back and this time it was worst than before. Something was nudging in my inner thighs I wanted to pee or maybe defecate,I just wanted the thing to come out.

The pain was throbbing and I wasn’t comfortable on the chair anymore,I groaned again and Tyler did his best to calm me down but he reality I wasn’t hearing any of it. The sounds in my ears were loud and I don’t know whether it was my screaming or something else.

“I wa want to ppee” I told him when I eventually found my voice.

“Okay,let me help you to the toilet” he said helping me to get up.

Immediately I stood up on my feet with his body supporting me,warm liquid splashed through my thighs then my legs and my eyes widened but the pain was still there.

“Shit” I heard Tyler cursed “your water just broke,i need to get you to the hospital”.

? Tyler’s p.o.v?

I watched as the nurses wheeled her away,they asked if I wanted to come in and watch the whole process but I refused even after they offered me a surgical cloth. I would have loved to be in there but I highly doubt if Kim would be okay with that. Even though the doctors here thought I was her husband we both knew I wasn’t her husband neither was I the father of the kid.

Getting Kim here and the rain wasn’t an easy feat. There was the rain and her groans clouding my thoughts. I guess I had super powers that was why we were able to get here this fast. I am glad I was around when she got into labor because I wouldn’t have imagined what would have happened if she was in the house by herself. She would have called me no doubt but would I be able to have gotten there fast.

I hoped nothing happens to her and the baby even though I don’t know the father of the child because that is one of the topics she never talks about.

What ever happened between them was definitely not a good thing, but which responsible man would leave a lady and his unborn child out in the cold.

I had a very bad first impression about her when we met because I couldn’t just believe the story and I was looking out for mom too. But Kim and I have gotten pretty close and we were like friends. Friends look out for each other right?

I thought of different things for hours,Kim was still in the theater. I was told she was going to have a c_section not a normal delivery because for some reasons she was not in a good condition to go through normal delivery right now so I had no other option but to sign the slip.

I wasn’t a very religious person but I prayed too. I prayed occasionally and that was what I did. I prayed for Kim and her unborn child.

The doctor came out in the early hours of the morning probably 3/4 am. I didn’t doze off for once because I was really worried. She have been through a lot and I wouldn’t want her to lose the child she have grown to love or the child losing it mother.

“How is she doctor?” I asked the man.

He smiled at me and I felt at peace for some reasons. “Congratulations sir, your wife had a baby girl” he told me and I smiled gratefully not without saying a silent thank you Lord.

“How is she?” I asked again.

“There are both in good condition. Your wife was given an anesthetics and she would wake up hours later but your baby is in perfect condition” he explained.

“Thank you very much doctor. Can I see them?” I asked.

“Of course you can see the baby but you can’t see your wife now. She doesn’t need any disturbance right now. Let me lead you to see the baby, she is really beautiful.

Congratulations once again” he gushed and i smiled at him before following him to see the baby.

The baby was really beautiful,I put my hand gloved hand into the glass and she grasped my finger with her little hands even with her closed eyes.

She was really beautiful.

Really beautiful.

Whoever has her was so lucky to have her.
