Chapter 5 - Welcome Baby ___ The boys have been spending every evening in front of the stereo to satisfy their manly self-esteem. It's quite cute, really, although they sometimes stay up past their bedtime.
Oh, and did I mention I picked out my maternity wear before my pregnancy was confirmed? When I finally did "the spin" a few days later, my sundress was already prepared and I rejoiced to feel the new life growing within my self.
Thornton also seemed happy when I told him as we cuddled on our bed. Happy, but apprehensive. I've heard gossip around town that my husband does not like children, but I refuse to believe that such a thing is possible.
At any rate, he quickly took over all household chores so that I had no reason for stress, and even wrote thank-you cards for all the wedding presents!
"
Dear Mr. Langerak, it has come to my attention that you have been constantly writing love letters to and attempting to seduce my wife. Please cease immediately, or I will teleport you to Moonlight Falls and allow my cousins to exact their dubious justice. Thank you, Mr. Wolff.
He also sent me a lovely romantic Sing-A-Gram when I gained a little baby weight. The microphone broke halfway through the singer's performance, but 'twas a very thoughtful gesture!
Oh, and he bought me a gnome! Alex named him "Rock," which seems apt.
Meanwhile, I hired a butler named Latosha. Mainly just to keep the childish Zelda occupied, as she is easily bored after finishing with the garden.
I took advantage of my leave from work to continue supermaxing cooking--I'm already at over 40 meals! I also completed several cooking and gardening opportunities, bringing me closer and closer to immortality.
The baby ended up growing bigger and bigger--and, consequentially, making
me bigger and bigger! I don't mind a bit, since my child will be strong and healthy once conceived. However, I don't particularly like being "larger" than my usual weight--it makes going around corners quite awkward!
Whenever my weight makes my back ache, Thornton magically appears to give me a massage. And they say I'm a witch . . .
I was in the kitchen once more when the pain erupted in my abdomen. Wildly, unable to walk, I looked around for help.
Zelda and the kids were having a snowball fight outside. The sound of snow and wind was enough to drown out any shouts for help.
Agnes was making a sculpture of Thornton in the studio, with the music turned up to full volume and the chainsaw whirring away.
Finally, Kaylynn came inside for a snack--and immediately started freaking out when I told her to go get Thornton. Thornton, Agnes--anyone, a hormonal teenage girl and hormonal pregnant woman is not a good combination!
Kaylynn finally calmed down--and took a picture of me
in labor. Isn't that sweet of her? Now I'll be able to remember the moment of birth for centuries to come!
She then hurried out into the hallway to celebrate her young adult birthday! Oh, I feel so bad for missing this important moment in my--not daughter, let's go with foster niece--foster niece's life!
Presently, Thornton and Agnes came out of the studio to applaud Kaylynn's aging up.
At last, I felt the sparkles surround me and a smile crossed my face as I spun . . .
Thornton entered just in time to see his son enter the world.
Oh, dear, I had
so hoped to leave with a cliffhanger, but I simply can't resist introducing you to my son! Meet the next heir of the Elysi Immortal Dynasty.
Aww, nooboo . . .
