As we pulled up at the hospital, Lorenzo wrapped his arms around me and helped me walk inside the hospital. He told the nurse on duty the situation and she quickly got me settled into a room and shortly after, the doctors arrived.
"Mrs. Ballmer." She called, taking her gloves off after she had examined me.
"They were contractions but the good thing is that you are only 2cm dilated and it wasn't your water that broke." She gave me a small smile and stood beside Lorenzo, opposite the bed.
"We will give you some medication to try to slow the contractions." She and the nurse brought IV drip and set it on my arm.
"Please don't panic or worry, alright? Looking at the monitor, the baby looks good and that is a fantastic sign. I will be back shortly to check on you." She said before walking out of the room and Lorenzo sat down in the chair, his eyes never leaving me.
"It wasn't supposed to happen like. Today ought to be a special day for both of us." My heart began to beat fast and he moved his chair closer to the bed.
"Father is mother going to be okay? Is the baby coming?" Fiona's voice was and my eyes flickered to the door to see her walking in with Alex.
"Fiona, mother is fine and yes, the baby is coming but not yet."
Although, I am in pain but seeing Fiona and Lorenzo by my side eased my pain. When I was giving birth to Fiona, I was all alone with no one beside me and no shoulder to lean. But now that I have them, all my worries and fears fade away just by looking into their eyes.
"Darling, I know it is not what we planned." Lorenzo said, holding back the tears that were threatening to escape from him as he gently cupped my cheek.
"But I am here with you, alright? You are not alone, Fiona and I are here for you." He kissed my forehead.
"Now close your beautiful eyes and get some rest. I am right here and I won't let anything happen to either of you, I promise." I nodded, my breathing slowing down as I listened to him and lost my eyes.
Fiona was laying at her feet as she continued to massage my stomach. I don't think I have felt much love in life before like the way I am feeling now.
After five hours of laying on the bed and walking around the hospital room with Lorenzo right beside me, I was exhausted and just wanted to sleep but the contractions were getting closer and I couldn't. I sat down on the edge of the hospital bed with my legs dangling off and I tried to keep my breathing even as I worked through the pain contractions but it was becoming harder. My hands were on either side of me as I attempted to rock my hips to ease some of the pain.
"Oh, Lorenzo." I whimpered, biting my lower lip and my hands grabbing his forearms tightly.
Lorenzo stood in front of me and his hands rubbing up and down on my back, towards my stomach and applying light pressure. Thank goodness that Alex has taken Fiona home, she won't be able to see me go through this pain. It will break her heart.
"I know, sweetheart." He whispered, kissing my forehead.
Lorenzo was breaking seeing me in situations of pain and didn't know how to help. But I have gone through pain without him before and it wasn't easy for me.
"You can do this, remember you have gone through it before." He started rubbing my lower and whispering some words of encouragement.
"You are so strong and brave and I am right here with you. I am not going anywhere, I hope I can take this pain for you." I nodded my head and then felt another contraction building up and the baby move lower down into my pelvis.
"You are doing so well and I am proud of you." He kissed my forehead and I buried my face in his chest.
"That is sweetheart, breath through it." He whispered and I felt my whole tension.
I whimpered as the contraction ended but l suddenly cried out in pain as different types of pressure began to grow between my legs.
"Oh my goodness, the baby is coming. The baby is coming, Lorenzo." I groaned and Lorenzo's eyes were wide as he reached over to call the doctor.
"Deep breath, sweetheart." He said, trying to keep me calm as I cried at the increasing pressure.
Lorenzo Pov.
I hate to see Natalie in so much pain and I hated the fact that I can't do anything to ease her. I wasn't there with her when she gave birth to Fiona but this time around, I will be by her side and help her get through the pain.
"Oh my gosh," she cried, clutching her stomach and squeezing her eyes shut.
"It hurts so much, Lorenzo."
"I know, sweetheart, I know."
We began wheeling her to the delivery room with the help of the doctor and some nurse.
"Alright, Natalie. Let's get the baby out, shall we?" The doctor said, she nodded her head and looked over to me.
"I am here, my love." I looked at her.
"You will get through this, I promise."
Seeing her in years is breaking my heart and there is nothing I can do than to be by her side and help her get through this.
Natalie Pov
"Oh my goodness!" I whined, feeling a huge wave of pain in my abdomen as the baby started to come out.
"You are doing so well, Natalie.," The doctor said and I gripped Lorenzo's hand so tight.
They counted to three and I pushed, tears flowing down my cheeks as I felt like my entire body would fall apart. I was in so much pain and I wanted to cry even more as the pressure increased.
"One more big push, you. You are almost done." The doctor said and I whined in pain, clenching my eyes shut and I soon heard the faint cry of a baby.
"It is a bouncing baby boy." One of the nurses announced and I could tell Lorenzo was smiling even from beneath his surgical mask.
I leaned my head against the pillow, looking at Lorenzo. His eyes welled with tears as they bought our baby boy, handing him to me as he was swaddled in a little white towel and a blue hat nestled onto his head.
"Oh my goodness, Lorenzo. He looks just like you." I whispered.
He leaned closer, examining the beautiful child in front of us. His eyes were stunning and I could tell what a ladies man he would be when he got older.
"I love you so much, Natalie." He whispered.
"You have given me the best gifts I could have ever wanted in my life. You made me a father again."
"I love you too, Lorenzo." I whispered with a smile.
"And now we get to take him home so he can meet his big sister." I said, smiling at our son.
Fiona will be so happy to him, she wants a baby boy. She wanted a brother to play with and now she has it and I am also happy.
"Steven Lorenzo Ballmer." I said, Lorenzo smiled, looking up at me before looking back down at our son.
Six months later
I carefully set Steven down in his crib after he finally finished feeding. It took me a while at first but I finally got the hang of breastfeeding him. He sucks more than when I was breastfeeding Fiona and Lorenzo said that our son would probably grow up to be a boob lover since he likes to suck more.
Our wedding is already around the corner, we have just a few months and I needed to go out with Brie today for my final dress fitting.
"What am I going to do while you are gone?" Lorenzo asked as I closed the nursery door.
"I will be gone in a few hours." I chuckled.
"I will be back before you know."
He placed his hand on my hips, dragging me in closer and pressing his forehead to mine.
"I will be so lonely without you. Why don't I accompany you then?"
"No, you can't go with me, you need to stay and take care of the children. Besides, Brie is me and we will be back before you know it."
He whined, his fingers dug into my hips and his lips brushing mine. I closed the tempting distance between us and pressed my lips to his.
"Father! Mother!" We heard Fiona's voice and pulled away immediately, turning around to see her tilted her to look at us.
"What are you guys?"
This is so embarrassing, my face was red as a tomato as I stared at my child, feeling nervous for no reason.
"I was showing your mother how much I love her." Lorenzo said and a smile appeared on her.
"Can I kiss her too because I love her so much?" She asked.
"Of course, Fiona. She can kiss me but I have to go, Brie is already waiting for me."
"Are you going somewhere, mother?"
"Yes, your mother is going for her dress fitting, you know the wedding is in a few months." Lorenzo said and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Yes! I can't wait. This is going to be the best wedding. I will be witnessing my mother and father getting married." She started jumping in happiness.
"Mother, can you buy me a dress for the wedding as well?"
"Of course, my princess. Mother will buy a beautiful dress for okay?" I walked closer to her and kissed her cheeks.
"Stay with your brother and take care of him till I am back, okay?" She nodded her head.
"Yes, mother. Bye and come soon."
I turned to look at Lorenzo, his face didn't look happy. He is already missing me and to brighten up his mood, I walked up to him and gave him a peck before leaving the house.
