Mia P.O.V

6 months later:

Today is 24th of December, a day before Christmas. While everyone was celebrating I was sitting in my room watching 'The Notebook'. I was alone at home. Jordan and Gabriel were busy in a meeting. You would think that on the eve of Christmas everyone will be at their home celebrating but in Mauritius there are shops which are opened till very late at night. And also not everyone celebrate Christmas in Mauritius.

My belly was so huge. I'm supposed to be in labour in one week time. There's still plenty of time. Nowadays I can't do anything. I'm so lazy. I just sit on the bed eating and watching TV. Poor Jordan she has to cook for the three of us or should I say four. I usually eat like a bird but now I eat triple of what I used to eat and Gabriel doesn't help either.

For the first few months that we were here we would order food but due to my pregnancy we had to discard this idea. I get sick smelling these foods. Don't know why! Only the soup of Jacob helped me. I gave Jordan the recipe and she would cook for me but now I'm ok. I can eat everything I want except I still can't smell coffee. I keep vomiting on smelling that, that Gabriel has stopped buying coffee saying that I make him get sick when I vomit. Not that I'm complaining!

I put the movie on pause when I heard my phone ringing. It was in the living room. I got my lazy ass up and went to picked it after checking the caller I.D.

"Hello." I said.

"Hey Mia, its Jordan" It was kind of obvious as she was calling on my mobile and I could see her name.

"Everything is ok?" I asked, knowing her there must be some problem.

"Yeah I'm just calling to say that we are going to be late. Actually there is some problem with the contract of Edwards Enterprises our new dealer. As they are in the states and due to the time difference we have to wait to have a video conference. Are you going to be ok or should I come home?" She asked.

"No, I'm going to be fine. Besides I'm not due till next week. I will inform you if there is some problem and I'm sure that Gabriel will need you more than me." I said.

"Thanks. Call me if you don't feel ok, promise? She said.

Typical Jordan! "Yes I promise. Now get back to work." I replied.

"Yes ma'am. Bye" She replied.

"Bye." I said back before hanging up.

It was still nine O'clock and I was bored. I decided to go in the room of the baby. It was already decorated. The colour was neutral as I did not want to know the sex of my child.

I put a hand on my belly. I feel close to him when I do this. I usually talk to him/her and he/she would replied by kicking. When I first felt the kick I was scared. I thought something was wrong. I went to my doctor but she told me about the kicking. I cannot describe my feelings at that time. I feel so happy.

Just then Jacob came to my mind.

"I'm sorry that I will not be able to provide you the love of your father. Maybe one day I'll tell you about your dad. I can't have you hate him. He did nothing wrong. He did not leave me, I did. I wish I could give you all that you will want but I know that I won't be able to give you one thing; Jacob's love. I'm very sorry. I wish I could tell him about you. Everyday I pray to god to fulfill my wishes. Whenever I see Jacob I could not help but think about his engagement and I have no ways to contact him. I tried everything emails, phone number, I even called at the office to find out the office has changed location. Maybe it's better for Jacob not knowing. In a way I want to tell him about his baby but I'm afraid he'll take you away from me. Even if you're not born yet I love you a lot more than you can imagine. I'm so sorry." I said for the third time.

I don't know when I felt asleep on the small bed in the nursery itself. A sudden pain in my stomach made me jump. What was that? After ten minutes I got the pain again. It happened for at least fifteen minutes before I decided to call my doctor.

"Doctor Jenkins speaking" She said on the phone.

"It's Mia. I'm getting pain. I don't know what's happening." I said.

"Okay Mia. Can you come to the hospital? I'm already here. Take the bag with the clothes too. I don't know maybe you are in labour. Just come quick. I'll wait for you at the entrance." She said.

"Okay, see you there." I said quickly disconnecting the phone.

I called Jordan and she answered after the fifth ring.

"Hello." She said. I could hear her tiredness in her voice.

"Jordan I'm getting pain and the doctor asked me to come to the hospital." I said quickly. Just then I felt the same pain. I screamed on the phone.

"Okay Mia. Just hold on. We are reaching in five minutes." She said hanging up.

They reached in five minutes as said and Gabriel quickly carried me to the car while Jordan was grabbing the bad that I would need.

We reached the hospital after fifteen minutes as it was pretty close.

Dr. Jenkins was in front waiting for me. As soon I got out from the car she put me on a wheel chair and brought me in a room. I think this is the place where I would be delivering if it's already time.

I asked Jordan to stay with me. Actually I wanted both of them but Gabriel was panicking more than me. As if he was the one pregnant.

The doctor checked me and saw that I still had time for the delivery. There was at least one to two days more. But as the pain was so unbearable and I couldn't take it anymore, she said that she'll do my delivery now. I was very scared but happy too. I would finally meet my child; the one I carried for nine months in me.

After three hours of labour pains and Jordan and Gabriel wishing me 'Merry Christmas as it was already the 25th of December, I finally delivered my baby; my son.

The moment the nurses placed my son in my arms his name came out of my mouth:

Zayn Edward Max; born on the 25th of December at one a.m.

He was the replica of Jacob; brown hair with blue eyes.

The moment he was placed in my arms, I saw the most beautiful smile in the world.

Jordan says that he has my nose and my smile. I can't see it but I hope that my child has something of me.

After changing and feeding Zayn I went to bed with Zayn lying beside me. We were alone. I started crying. Jacob came to my mind and the fact that Zayn is his replica, this unable me to forget about him.

I put Zayn close to my chest and went to sleep. I did not know that labour could be so tiring.
