Faked That Smile  

Chapter Twenty-two    

  The rest of the evening, we spent playing around and watching a movie. Once Destiny finally fell asleep I, asked Damon the question that has been bugging me all day. “Damon, the car that crashed into us” Damon cut me off by placing his finger over my mouth. “Sheena; No it wasn’t. It was just a drunk driver.” I left out a big sigh as my body filled with relief. “I was just so worried they had found us again.” I said truthfully. “I know baby. At first, I thought the same. I guess we’re still not over it. However, we both knew this was going to take time and lucky for us that’s one thing we have got on our side.” He replied staring deeply into my eyes. “I know. It’s just I have never been so happy Damon. And I’m scared. I’m scared something or someone is going to take that away from me. From us. After last night, I don’t think I could ever go through what we have been through again. To be honest Damon I know I wouldn’t.” Without saying a word, Damon lifted me up so I was now sitting on his lap. “Sheena I know I should be telling you that everything is going to be fine and nothing will ever happen to us. Nevertheless, last night made me also realise something. That none of us knows what lays ahead of us and we should take every day as it comes. However, there is one thing I will promise you. That is to love and spoil you as much as I can.  For as long as I live.” Speechless and feeling so overwhelmed I done the only thing I could. I kissed him.    However, not like we usually kiss. I kissed him with every ounce of love I had for him. Struggling for air, I broke the kiss. With both of us panting heavily, we just sat there snuggled up. This is the most perfect moment ever, I thought to myself. My heart melted as he cuddled into me. The amount of love, he had for me and I felt for him I would’ve never thought it was possible. If I wasn’t feeling it right now.     Sitting on the couch with Sheena on my lap, I wanted this moment to last forever. The way she had just kissed me was so mind blowing that my whole body reacted more than I thought possible. I know I have always mocked those stupid love stories. Hell I used to laugh my head off when we used to have to read them back in high school. However, as cheesy as it sounds, that kiss made me realise that those romance stories were not as stupid as I had thought. As every word I had mocked described exactly how Sheena had made me feel tonight.    Being so deep with in my own thoughts I didn’t even noticed that Sheena had fallen asleep. Staring down at her sleeping form, she looked so peaceful. I felt as if I was on a high.   Placing my hand gently on her swollen stomach the baby began to kick. It made me feel so emotional that our baby responded to my touch. That I could feel my eyes watering. I left my hand placed on her stomach, as not wanting to loose that contact with our baby. Nevertheless, when Sheena started moving around looking some way uncomfortable, I reluctantly removed my hand.    Feeling Sheena settling back against my body, made me smiled. I wonder if it’s a boy. I asked myself.  As the baby sure had a strong kick, I couldn’t stop smiling at the thought of it being a boy. As deep down, I have been hoping it’s a boy for along time now.  Nevertheless, as long as our baby is healthy then I doesn’t really matter, whether it was a boy or a girl.   Being a father meant more to me than anything. Well except from Sheena that is. Having Destiny was the best thing that had happened to Sheena and me. As she has brought so much love and happiness into our lives, as well as the joys of watching her grow up. I have learned through Destiny; that being a father is not just about looking after her or providing for her. It's the love you give them and they give you that is most important.   I placed a soft kiss on Sheena’s forehead.  Before I spoke the words, I had been thinking out loud. “You are so beautiful.”  Feeling sleepy, I picked Sheena up and took her to bed. After tucking, Sheena in, I went and checked on Destiny before I went to join Sheena in bed. Wrapping my body around hers I could feel my eyes closing falling into a deep slumber.     Three months had past and Sheena was due our baby any day now. She has been stressing out so much lately over the labour. That It was starting to concern me. She is worried, that with not having full use of her legs that it would complicate things. Nonetheless, as much I have tried to reassure her. Nothing seems to help.    Sitting here at my desk, I decided to take matters in my own hands. Moreover, do the only thing I could think of and that was to call the doctor. Knowing if anyone could advise me on what to do. It would have to be him. I thought to myself as I picked up the phone.     After hanging up the phone from speaking with the doctor, I felt a million times better. As he said that, he would talk to her at her next appointment, which was tomorrow. He also told me that this was normal for women so close to being full term, to worry. I tried thinking back to when Destiny was born. Nonetheless, I quickly stopped myself from going down that road as I remembered her feeble body tied up. Looking at my watch, I noticed I only had another hour until my shift ended.      Today seemed to drag, as the station was dead, not that I’m complaining. Nevertheless, it wasn’t as busy out here as it was back in the city. I guess that’s why time always seemed to drag here more. “Hey Damon there’s a call for you on line one.” Nathan shouted. Picking up my phone, I pressed line one. “Hello, Chief Marz here.” I greeted. “Mr Marz it’s Dr Vince here. Your wife has gone into labour and demanding that she is not going to give birth to this baby until you get here.” hearing the panic in  the doctors voice, I hung up the phone. As much as I loved Sheena, she could be as stubborn as hell if she wanted too be. I could picture her now sitting there refusing to let them near her. Laughing to myself I quickly grabbed my keys off my desk and drove to the hospital.   Walking through the main entrance to the hospital. I was greeted by a midwife that looked really stressed out. “Mr Marz?” she asked. “Yes that’s me” I replied in a slight panic. As seeing her so stressed, she was starting to make me so nervous. “Oh thank you God”, she said sounding relieved. “Follow me,” she shouted before she took off sprinting down the long corridor. Doing my best at keeping up with her, I could hear her mumbling curse words to herself. What has Sheena done that has caused this midwife to freak out so much. I asked myself. Then hearing Sheena screaming abuse at someone, answered my question.   To say I was shocked was an understatement. I had never seen Sheena so wound up ever. “Hey baby.” I said in softest voice I could under the circumstances. She began to cry “Damon you’re here.” She cried out sounding relieved. “Damon I promised I would wait for you this time.” She said sounding proud of herself. Then she held her stomach and started screaming. The midwives quickly lifted her onto the bed.  Because her legs weren’t strong enough for her to move them, the midwife held one of her legs while nodding at me to help with the other.   Not knowing what else to do I just took hold of Sheena’s hand and began rubbing soothing circles with my thumb. I tried soothing her by telling her I loved her, but she just kept screaming. I could just about hear the midwives talking over her screams. However, hearing them telling her to push when the next contraction hits, made me realise how close she actually was to giving birth. “Sheena you can do this baby your nearly there. This made me excited. Please push when they say.” I almost pleaded.  However, seeing her in so much pain was something I had not thought of. And believe me it was the worst thing ever. I felt helpless, as there was nothing I could really do to ease her pain. Well other then telling her I loved her and offering soothing words. She cursed and screamed at me for getting her pregnant but even though I knew, it was just the pain talking, and it hurt. Hearing the midwife shout “now Sheena push.” Had me pushing as well I know that sounds stupid but I couldn’t help it. I even ended up screaming with her. Once the contraction passed I looked up to see the midwifes looking at me as if I was stupid. Feeling a blush of embarrassment rise to my cheeks, I lowered my head. Then I burst out laughing at what I just did. I could see Sheena looking angered and confused. However, before I could explain why I was laughing another contraction hit Sheena. In addition, by the sounds of her screams it must have been painful. I couldn’t take it anymore I wanted to run. I hated seeing her like this, I was thinking to my self. Then I heard cries of our baby and all my thoughts vanished. All I could see and think of was Sheena and our little baby that the midwife had laid on Sheena’s chest.  “It’s a boy” I kissed Sheena, as I felt so proud of her. “It’s a boy” I screamed out doing a happy dance. I could hear Sheena giggling. “Congratulations to both of you.” Both of the midwifes said in unison. “Thank you” Sheena and I replied.  “Oh Sheena we have a boy!” I told her with so much excitement.” I love you baby so much. I’m sorry I put you through so much pain.” I told her sincerely. “Oh come here you big fool.” She said then kissed me hard. “I love you too.” She replied. Looking so overwhelmed.        

I hoped you all enjoyed :)
