The Wounded Love novel Chapter 77

"Good." He smiled. "Because I love you too."

We're skipping ahead here...

Jade and Sean were thrilled to find out that they were having a boy.

Because Sean was still in recovery, spending the first few months in rehab, then being busy with physical therapy and his psychiatrist, I accompanied Jade to most of her doctor appointments.

We all went to the gender reveal one though. Dante pushed Sean through the halls on the wheelchair that he would soon be out of and I tried to catch up with Jade who was surprisingly fast for a pregnant woman.

"Look at his thing! Is that his thing?" Jade asked, pointing to the monitor that had images of her baby on it.

"Yes, it is." The doctor laughed. "It's a boy!"

The room fell silent then. The four of us had our eyes glued to the little person on the tv in front of us. "There's a person in you." I said, stating the obvious. But in my defense, that was the first time that it actually hit me. Knowing it's gender and being able to distinguish its arms and legs made it so much more real in my mind.

"Whoa... I'm having a son." Sean said, glassy-eyed.

I looked over at Dante who had the strangest look on his face.

"Don't get any ideas." I gently nudged his side.

"Hmm... it might be too late, Skyla."

Although Sean wanted to be kept up to date with everything baby related, his relationship with Jade still wasn't... solid. They had never established themselves as anything other than soon to be parents. They acted like nothing more than friends but calling them friends was off the table. They didn't like to be called the f-words, but they also didn't want anyone to say that they were in an official relationship...

But I guess that was understandable considering the fact that they were never anything and Sean's accident delayed them in becoming anything.

They did live together which just made the whole situation even more confusing. Susan and Anthony allowed Sean and Jade to move into their furnished garage which had everything in it that a regular house would. Kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedrooms. It was huge.

I was positive that it was Susan's doing though. She hired nurses and was also available around the clock for her recovering son. She seemed to be the most enthusiastic about the baby. I guess she didn't think Sean would ever give her grandkids, or have children that he knew about...

"I don't know but something just came out of my vagina."

I looked down to see a puddle on the floor beneath us. After the second trimester, it didn't matter the weather, Jade wore nothing but dresses. And when it was one of those maxi dresses that went down to her ankles, you could probably guess that she was going commando and be right.

Today was a maxi dress kind of day.

"Um... I don't think that's pee." By that point, the entire store was staring at us. "I think you're water just broke." The baby was due next week, but he was not going to wait.

"What? No, no, no. I can't do this today. I need to get the crib and Sean -?ow!"

"Well, it's happening today whether you're ready or not." I tried not to yell out in pain from her death grip as she squeezed my wrist. "I'll call your driver, where's your phone?"

"But Sean's at his appointment and how am I going to have a baby but no crib or bassinet? Where am I supposed to put him, he's going to have nowhere to sleep, Skyla I'm not ready. Things were supposed to be -? f*ck -?perfect but their not. Ow!"
