Few months later...
Pregnancy was not easy and to be honest.
I kinda regretted my decision to stop taking the pills, but my stomach was already huge and I couldn't even see my legs.
And Damien has been caring and patient with me and my mood swings.
Now it was almost my due date.
*******
One day I was watching TV with him when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.
My looked down and to mu horror, my skirt was soaked.
Another sharp pain and I screamed in pain.
I grabbed Damien by his arm and started freaking out.
Calm down Ivory, Let's go to the hospital, he said. And rushed upstairs.
He came back with the baby's stuff and rushed me to the hospital.
When we arrived, the nurses told Damien to stay at the waiting room.
I screamed loudly as the pain got worse.
The nurses placed me on the bed and one of them held my hand.
Ma'am, you have to push when i tell you to, okay?
Okay, okay!!
Now push!! She screamed and i did as i was told but the pain only worsened.
I pushed again and I screamed as i felt pain in my lower region.
You're doing very well Ma'am, now push again. Aaaaah!!! I pushed with all my strength and i felt weak.
Just one more time ma'am. I can't do this anymore, just get it out, i pleaded.
The nurse squeezed my hand gently and i screamed as i pushed again, this time with all my strength.
Then i heard it. My baby's cry.
Oh my, it's a boy! The nurse said and she placed him in my hands.
All the pain I was feeling fled to the back of my head when I saw my baby.
They finally allowed Damien to come in and he started crying when he saw our baby.
He's so beautiful, Damien said.
We shall name him Liam, he said smiling. Liam, I repeated after him.
As if he heard his name, he opened his eyes and stared at us.
He has your eyes Ivy, Damien said.
And he has your handsome features, i replied.

Damien and I wanted to take things slow and we decided to get married when Liam started going to school.
