I finally came to the conclusion that David and I really don't understand each other. I never knew that David didn't want another child until this point. All this time I've only seen it clearly that she loves children, so I never expected that she would never have it again. And for some strange reason, David thought that I didn't want to have children either. I guess we both make judgments about each other without talking about certain things first.
I judged David on his decision before really knowing the real reason. Well, no one can blame me when David tells me he's getting older so he doesn't want any more kids.
When I told David I was pregnant, he was really scared. The David I saw at the time was vulnerable, and very frightened. I don't know what caused him to be like that. He started muttering things like 'he can't get through this anymore' and 'he doesn't want to go through this anymore'.
I was confused as to what he was talking about at first until he said that he was afraid of losing me as well. To my surprise, Aleah, as soon as I told her I was pregnant. He was the first to tell me that his mother was expecting a son. Unfortunately, there were few complications, and both the babies and their mothers died from it.
I know that David's wife died, so much he told me while what he didn't say was the cause of her death. Now it all makes sense why he doesn't want any more children. His first wife died in childbirth with his son. Very sad to hear that. If David and I had talked about this before, maybe I would have understood where he came from. Also, knowing what happened to his first wife, it actually scared me. However, after sharing the story with mom and dad, mom assured me that everything would be fine and I had to stop worrying. Although David was still afraid of the fact that I was pregnant, I could see that he was really trying to fight his fear.
I never knew that getting pregnant would get Aleah and I would get this close, too. Ever since she found out that I was pregnant, she was like Aleah I didn't know at all. If I had to tell people that Aleah hates me, they would call me a liar. She was completely different from the one I met a few years ago. The Aleah that David introduced at the time we first started dating, never seemed to exist. Aleah and I became friends. I don't know if it's because I'm going to give birth to the little brother that she's so looking forward to or if the baby somehow made magic on her. He was always watching me, asking if I was okay and so on. Alisa is also happy to be a sister.
I'm eight months pregnant right now and it looks like I'm about to give birth. Everything went well with pregnancy. Although David, me and everyone else seem to be anxious.
When I found out that I was pregnant, David suggested that I take a year off before starting work. He didn't like it if I started working and risked becoming stressed or overworked. He was still scared because of what he had experienced earlier, so I decided to take his advice. David is so sweet. He made sure that I would feel 100% comfortable, eat right, stay in good shape and be the happiest. I couldn't ask for a better husband than her. When we went for the ultrasound examination to determine the sex of the baby, the results showed that we were going to have a boy. We made all the preparations for the baby boy. Although I was still a bit scared, I couldn't wait to meet him. And there is a fact, everyone will be happy and happy to meet him when he is born.
"Your son is really active tonight." I said to David as we lay in bed together.
"I can feel it." David chuckled as he stroked my stomach. "I think he knows I touched your stomach and he really likes it."
"I know he likes it. I like it too." I laughed just as I felt him kick again. "He's always active when you talk to him too."
"That's because he knew that his father was here." David responded.
"Maybe." I smile.
"Yes. But your son doesn't." I chuckle. "He seems to be awake and ready to play."
"I'll play with him all night, but you really need to rest." David responded.
"I know, but today I'm a little hard to sleep." I told him.
"That's because David Junior is getting restless there. He's almost ready to crawl in a minute."
"Crawl out?" I laughed hearing that. "You make it sound like he's going to come out of a dark hole or something. Wait, I don't want to continue this conversation."
"You're the one who started first." David laughing.
"And David Junior? Do you want to call him by that name?" I asked David.
"Sure, if you don't have a problem with that." David responded. "But, I don't mind my son carrying my name too."
"Well, I don't mind. I mean, I've had one David in my life and he's been absolutely amazing. I don't mind having two more David. That would make me the luckiest woman."
"I love you so much, you know that? I love you both." David said to me.
"I know." I smiled at him. "And I love you too."
