Desiree's POV
This is the most anticipated event in my sister's life: she marries the man she loves and becomes pregnant. I know it seems unreal, but I believe her dream is to have Donovan by her side.
I turned around and saw the most attractive man I had ever seen; he walked with glittering eyes and exuded awe, and every lady in the ceremony was staring at his effortless perfection. I adore him, not just for his wonderful looks, but also for his decent and kind heart; he has always been devoted to me, even when we were not in a relationship, and how much more now that he is my fiancee and the father of my baby. I am so fortunate to have him.
He stared at me as I waved my hand at him, and when he got close enough, he whispered in my ear, "Wow, sweetheart, you look so beautiful... a lovely pregnant woman."
"You are lovely too, sweetie," I said and I can't help but smile while biting my bottom lip.
"I'm drowning in your affection right now, thanks to your compliment." He stated his case.
I have a good laugh. "Let's go..."
While the attendees at the ceremony were staring at us, I took his hand and we walked down the aisle.
I just keep smiling as Alexander walks me over to a chair where we can both sit.
"My sister, look at her." I whispered at Alexander, "Yeah, she is beautiful as you…" He smiled and we clap our hands as the ceremony started to tell that they are husband and wife now.
Everyone is cheerful and joyful at the wedding; everyone is invited; I can see several of my former college friends; they appear to be in good shape, but I don't think I need to greet them. When they grin at me, I simply return the smile. But, with everything that has transpired, I no longer need to associate with them.
I'm well aware of my worth.
"Hi, Desiree…you look great." My former friend said and she smile at me, as the ceremony began to finish, I just smile at her and I don't say any hello or more fake conversations with her.
Then I was shocked when my sister throw the bouquet of flowers and it landed on my lap.
"I guess we are next…" Alexander whispered to my ear and I smile widely and kissed him passionately and hugged him.
"I guess!" I said.
"Congratulations to the newlywed!" I greeted my sister and Donovan, they give me a hug and the sweetest smile.
"Oh my god, it's a destiny!" she said while pointing at the flower. "Thank you, my sister!"
"Thank you, Desiree," Donovan said.
"Alright! Taking pictures!" My mom said and my jaw dropped when she is with her mother of Alexander, they look like a close friend now. "Look at your mom…" I said.
"Yeah, I see…" Alexander said and put his palm on my waist, "Okay, everything is settled…" he said and stand straight. "Chin up…" I said, he chuckled and kissed my forehead.
The familiar photographer interrupted us, "Okay, one, two, three…smile!" He said and I told him to stop, "Wait, I knew you…you have the picture of me and Alexander at the graduation. I never received the pic, where is it?"
He chuckles nervously, "I give it to him…" then he pointed to Alexander.
Alexander winked at me. "Oh my god, you stole my pic!" I said gently.
He just laughs, and the photographer chooses to take a picture of the newlyweds and us.
The photographs depicted flawless and happy families, complete with lovely smiles and other details.
Who'd have guessed that a man I used to despise would keep my photos at my college graduation? He's incredibly sweet, and it makes me adore him even more. He enriched my heart, which is why I am so pleased today.
"I am happy for you... Look at you; I believe you will be the first to give birth, followed by me in the second month. What a surprise, our children will be mini-me and mini-you if they are both girls." That made me giggle as I told my sister.
"I think you're the sexiest pregnant woman I've seen," she said, rubbing my stomach. She gave me a giggle.
"Do you think so?" I ask her while smiling.
"Yes, you are…Desiree.." I heard a familiar voice, it was Margareth, I hug her and greet her, "By the way, this is my sister, Patricia and this is Margareth…"
"Hello, nice to meet you, wow you look so gorgeous!" Margareth said happily and I saw Evon at the corned waving her hand at me. Wow, I didn't know that she is here, I thought she was in another country. But look who's here.
My sister and Margareth are chatting now and I just leave them quickly to have a nice talk with Evon.
"Evon!" I said.
"Oh my god! You're here! I thought-" I was cut by her smile and says, "Sorry, I don't tell you about my arrival…I wanted to surprise you. I miss you…" she said and hugged me gently.
"Wow, you are really pregnant, what's the gender?"
"Well, I didn't know yet, but how are you? Are you back for real?"
She sighed and says, "yeah, it's life, I always come back to the place I love." she chuckles and give me a one more hug. We talked about a lot of random things that day.
"Baby, let's go." Alexander calls me and I glance at him, "Oh I have to go now, don't forget to greet my sister! She will be happy to see you too!" I said to Evon and she nods he heard and headed to my sister where all the guest was congratulating my sister for a successful wedding and giving their gifts and so on.
wow, what a nice day.
"Okay, are you ready?" Alexander asked me as we were already inside his car. "Yeah, the bags are ready and everything…"
"Then we are ready to go, baby." He said and start to drive.
After 7 months and a half weeks.
I am now inside of the hospital fighting for my life, it's my due date to have and see my firstborn. I am crying because the feelings I have is more painful than I thought.
"Ugh, so painful…"
"Yes, it's normal…Maam. Just push, okay? Don't be afraid and just go with the flow." The doctor instructed me as she touches my stomach.
"Okay, when I say push, you push!"
I nod my head and I glance at Alexander who were beside me, he is in tears also, "You can do it, baby…" He whispered to my ear and I screamed in pain as I pushed.
"Ugh…."
"Okay, one more time, I can see the head now, okay 1, 1, 3…push!" The doctor said.
After a minute of pain, I can hear the voice of my baby crying filling the room with his nose. "Oh, it's a boy! It is a healthy baby boy! Congratulations!" The doctors clapped their hands while they are happy watching the baby crying.
"My baby…" I smile and burst into tears, I close my eyes and passed out.
The Nex Day,
As I watched my baby smile at me, it keeps my heart dance in happiness. I stare at Alexander who is staring at me also.
"I love you, you two," I said.
"I love you both of you…my happiness and my life." He said and kissed my forehead, he planted a kiss on our baby's cheek too. The baby gives him a smile which makes us smile too.
"Wedding soon?"
"Yeah, I'm excited about it!"
Life will never be perfect, but we may choose to be happy. It is possible to be happy in life.
The End…
