《Come Back To Me, Kiwi.》Chapter 73 - Baby Showers and Nurseries

"How's the little momma doing?" My beautiful husband asked when he walked in, finding me in front of the mirror, brushing my hair.
"My feet are tired." I said to him.
"Then why are you still standing, huh?" He asked me, picking me up and putting me down on the bed.
"But I need to brush my hair." I chuckled.
"That's what I'm here for." He smiled, kissing my cheek.
He took the brush out of my hand and brushed my hair gently. He was such a good husband. He knew being pregnant was more tiring than any work he did. So we was constantly taking care of me and making sure I didn't overexert myself.
"Did she kick a lot today?" Vivi asked me.
"Baby... what if it's a little boy?" I asked him.
"It's a little princess. I know it." He told me.
"But we never confirmed." I said.
"It's a princess. Just don't worry about it." He smiled.
I laughed and let him rub my belly.
"So? Did she kick a lot today?" He asked me again.
"Yeah. It was nonstop kicking." I laughed.
"You think she'll kick for daddy now?" He asked, putting his hands over my belly and kissing me on the cheek.
"Maybe." I giggled.
"Come on, Princess. Show Daddy how strong you are." He laughed.
It was slightly uncomfortable when my baby kicked around a lot. But I loved feeling the movements and just knowing how healthy and happy my little munchkin was.
Vidal got to feel a few kicks and he was very happy about it. He was currently working on a nursery in the cabin on the island and he wanted us to move back there as soon as the baby was born.
"Are you ready for the baby shower?" He asked me.
"Mhm. I'm just tired." I sighed.
"It's alright. Just rest until we get there." He said to me, picking me up and carrying me to the car.
He got me all the way there without me having to walk or anything. He was going to be an amazing father to our little one.
I was already around seven months into my pregnancy and we were preparing for the baby's arrival. The girls were all super excited and every time I saw them, they had a new toy or new clothes for their niece or nephew.
Vivi and I decided that we'd wait for the birth to see if it was a boy or a girl. But Vivi insisted that it was a girl. He bought her a few little dresses and a necklace. I knew that if it was a boy, he'd want another kid just so he'd get his little girl.
Once we arrived on the Island, my amazing husband carried me to the villa and he set me down on the couch.
"Are you thirsty, baby? Do my angels need some water?" He asked, kissing my lips gently.
"We could do with some water." I laughed.
The girls set us a little baby shower for me and bought a bunch of gifts for the baby. Aunt Em was constantly making clothes for both me and the baby. I had an amazing, caring, loving family.
I sat down on the couch and they gave me cake and all sorts of food. We ate together and everyone talked amongst themselves and then it was time for the gifts.

"Alright! My gift first!" Ari cheered, handing me a pretty pink gift.
I opened it and found an adorable bear outfit that was mainly blue with splashed of other colours all over it. It would work regardless of the gender of the baby. I also found a portable baby bed that I could roll around the cabin with me.
"Wow!" I gasped, looking down at the most useful thing I'd gotten for my baby to date. "Thank you so much, Ari!"
"No problem. This helped me a lot with the girls so I thought you should have one too." She smiled.
"Thank you." I giggled, hugging her.
"Alright! My turn!" Rosalie said, plopping down beside me and handing me a gift.
I opened it up and found some pacifiers with cute animals on them, and a few toys. They were so cute that I wanted to cry a little bit.
"Aw.... They're adorable! Thank you, Rosie!" I said, hugging her tightly.
"My turn! Make room, people!" Mabel said, stuffing herself between Ari and I.
I laughed and took her gift. Just like Vidal, Mabel insisted it was a girl. So when I opened the gift I saw a dress with earrings, a necklace and a bracelet.
"What if it's a boy, Mabel?" I asked her.
"No, no. My sister is glowing! Which means it's a girl!" Mabel said making me giggle.
"Thank you." I smiled, giving Mabel a hug. Mabel loved children and she was by far the most excited for this baby to be born.
"Oh my goodness! I'm so excited!" She squealed, rubbing my belly gently.
"Ok, ok, it's time for my gift! Make way, Mabel!" Ava said, pushing Mabel aside.
"So mean. I'm telling Uncle Gabe." Mabel said, walking off in search of Gabriel.
"He's going to take my side." Ava said, rolling her eyes.
"We'll see about that, Aviator!" Mabel said.
"I'm not a pilot!" Ava called out. "And he's with the other guys."
"Pilot. Doctor. Same thing, really." Mabel said, giving up on finding him for now and plopping back down beside Rosalie.
"What? That girl is weird." Ava said, shaking her head and making Mabel throw a pillow at her.
Mabel and Ava were really close, they were also very similar in terms of personality. Or at least they seemed that way to me.
"Here." Ava said, handing me her gift and hugging me.
I opened it and found a huge elephant stuffy. It was purple and it was so soft and fluffy. If my baby was anything like me, this would be their favourite toy.
"Alrighty! Juliet and Ellie's turn?" Juliet asked.
"Yes!" I cheered, letting Ellie come stroke my huge belly while I opened the gift.
"I got the big one!" Eleanor cheered.
I chuckled and I opened the gift, seeing a baby blanket from Eleanor, and then the most adorable necklace from Juliet, it had the word 'mama' as a pendant. It was a small gift, but it meant the world. I also saw a breastfeeding blanket with the cutest little bunny design all over it.
"I just thought it would be useful, you know?" Juliet smiled.
"Aw, thank you, Juliet. I love you." I smiled, hugging her tightly and getting her to help me with putting the necklace on.

"If you ever need anything, Kiara, you know you can come to me. I didn't have anyone around to help. But I'll never let you deal with it alone and you have all of us to help." Juliet told me.
"Thank you, Julie. That means to much to me. And anytime you need anything, you can tell me. You're not alone anymore." I said, kissing her cheek.
She laughed and nodded.
"I love you." She smiled.
All of us sisters hugged and then it was time for the Mommas and the Nanas to take over. I had made the mistake of telling them I didn't need gifts, which made all of them get me gifts. All of the boys had already showered the baby with gifts. All of them were convinced it was a girl. They had decided she was going to be blonde like me and that she would have Vivi's eyes. But in my opinion, I would like my little girl to have her father's red hair and his beautiful hazel eyes. It was just a waiting game now. We weren't even sure it was a girl.
Momma got me an excessive amount of white onesies, saying they were the cutest thing to put on a baby. Next was Fifi who gave me a blender like her little one that she used for all the babies in the family. She also gave me a little recipe book for baby food that she used to make. Then Aunt Em gave me clothes for the rest of my pregnancy, then for breastfeeding and for after I had my little angel, and also clothes for the little one. They were gender neutral.
"It's Nana time now!" Nana Lucie laughed, handing over a little package. I opened it and it had a whole collection of powders and creams that would be gentle enough for the baby. My little angel was going to be spoiled to death. Mia, Mila and Ellie already were the little queens of the family, I had a feeling my baby was going to be a new member of this royal munchkin group that we'd created.
"Oh my goodness. This is so useful! Thank you so much, Nana!" I cheered.
"No problem, Angel." Nana smiled, kissing me on the cheek and hugging me.
"And last but not least, my gift." Nana laughed, handing me a gift.
I giggled and hugged both my Nanas before opening the last gift. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful locked in the shape of a heart. When I opened the locket, I saw Vidal and I's pictures. Then I saw one of those attachments that I could put on the baby's crib and it would spin around over the crib. It had little sheep stuffies attached to it. It was adorable.
"Wow. This is amazing, thank you, Nana. Thank you all, actually! These were all amazing gifts!" I giggled.
I noticed that Nana Isabella looked exhausted.
"Nana, what's going on, you look so tired." I said softly.
"I had a long night." She laughed before Juliet interrupted our conversation with a laugh.
"I think the boys are ready to show you what they created." Juliet chuckled, seeing all the boys peaking in from the sliding back door that lead to the beach. I laughed at the sight of them all standing there.
"Alright. Let's go see what they did." I laughed.
We all went to the little cabin together, but Vidal insisted on carrying me. Vidal had expanded the cabin, and said that the expansion was mainly for the nursery. I hadn't been allowed to see it, but it was pretty big, I knew that much.
When we got there, Vivi set me down and he had me cover my eyes, this was a group effort. I was the only one who hadn't seen it. All the boys did it with the help of Nana Isabella and Nana Lucie.
When I opened my eyes. I saw the gorgeous enchanted forest mural on the back wall, then the little pastel coloured stones that hung on the ceiling around the lights. There were also lots of windows, covered with thin white curtains, letting light in and making it look like a gorgeous enchanted forest.
The crib was round and it was in the middle of the room. There was a small changing table on the side, lots of bean bags everywhere and a few armchairs as well as a rocking chair. It was very spacious, with lots of stuffies everywhere.
It was the prettiest little nursery I ever could've imagined. It would be perfect for our baby. I just didn't know how these boys achieved it. It was perfect.
"How'd you guys do this?" I asked in shock.
"We asked Ari for some help with the curtains and the crib design and the placement of everything. I built the crib with Dad's help. Evan bought the stuffies with uncle Rico and Theo. Dad and I got help from Papa Dev and Papa Teo for picking out and installing the carpet. Then Nana Bella painted the wall. And Gabriel and Romeo bought the stones and installed them on the roof. All the guys helped with buying the sheets for the crib and setting it all up at the end." Vivi explained.
"Oh my goodness." I giggled, looking around. "My little baby is going to be a fairy princess."
"Ahah! You finally admitted it!" Vidal said.
"Ok fine, I've had a feeling it's a girl for the past two months." I laughed.
I was almost sure, but this was so perfect.
I picked the name Aurora for a little girl and something beginning with an 'A' for a boy, but hadn't picked the exact name yet. But the door had a little A on it made out of fake twigs and flowers. It was gorgeous. It would definitely still work for a boy. They didn't make it too princess themed, it was also suitable for a little boy.
"Wow guys! I'm impressed! Thank you so much!" I laughed.
They all walked over and hugged me.
"Ok. The pregnant woman needs oxygen!" I yelled.
"Alright. Get away from my wife." Vidal laughed.
"Aw. This is so perfect! I can't wait for the angel to join us!" I giggled.
But goodness, I severely underestimates the pain of childbirth. It was possibly the worst pain any human could ever feel. But my God, it was worth every second, seeing and holding my little angel was worth all the pain in the universe. Nothing could ever compare to the blissful feeling I got as soon as I heard my baby's cries.

Mindful Beauty
Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks.A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind?•••Ch. 39 Excerpt"Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him.Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply.Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat."To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.
