AARON RIVERWOOD-
"Aaron Asher Riverwood, I hope you enjoyed sex, because we are done with that, I am never ever doing anything that might get me pregnant which includes getting into a swimming pool. I read a report where…Aaaaaaaaa" She screamed at the top of her voice as we took her wheelchair to the ward the nurse directed us to.
I looked over to Victoria who was a mess and her face was red, labour pains can really be a bitch. Throughout the car ride to the hospital she kept screaming and cursing at me for getting her pregnant, I mean I don't blame her.
The gynecologist checked her out as Victoria shot me murderous looks that actually scared me, "Oh honey, you are fully dilated, we need to take you to the delivery room now." The doctor says and Victoria's eyes widen, "Not today nuh-huh, I am going home, I want to sleep in my bed, bye." She says as she tries to move out of the bed.
As we took her to the delivery room, she started chanting the exorcism chant again, I think I have to sit her down one day and explain what exorcism is, "Oh my god, this hurts so much!" She screamed and the nurse tried to shush her, "Sweetie, if you scream, you'll end up scaring the rest of the to be moms."
"Well they should be scared! I will sue everyone- wait Aaron did you feed the dogs?" The nurse laughed as Victoria continued staring at me when we entered the delivery room. I just nodded my head as we helped her up the bed.
I was anxious as hell and really scared for her, I hope this goes well… the next hour was blur with just the doctor and Victoria shouting back at her and sometimes at me. I feel I have to give it to her, irrespective of all the pain she was in, she didn't refrain from giving a sarcastic snarky reply to every question and order from the doctor.
"Come on honey, you have to push harder." The doctor said for the umpteenth time, making Victoria want to murder her.
"Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me…. I want to eat chicken nuggets." She cried as she looked at me with hope, "Go get me nuggets, the doctor would never find out." She whispers loudly at me.
I exchange a look with the doctor who just shook her head.
"Breathe Victoria breathe."
"Don't tell me what to do! Just get him out of here!"
"Her"
"Aaron, I am going to kill you!"
Our conversation halted as the sweet crying of a baby was audible, Victoria and I shared a look as the nurse went out to clean the baby up. I walked up next to Victoria, kissed her lips sweetly before kissing her forehead. She smiled as tears welled up in our eyes again as the doctor handed us the baby, my hands were shaking as I touched the small delicate face, it was so beautiful.
My child.
"Congratulations! It's a baby girl, do we have a name yet?" The nurse said and I almost hoped in my place as Victoria started crying at the sight.
"Yes, Amelia Fox-Riverwood." Victoria said smiling at me, making my heart swell with happiness as she cradled Amelia in my arms for the first time. I got nervous, I had held babies in my hands, but this was my own child.
I felt tears in my eyes as Amelia opened her eyes and looked at me for the first time ever! I love her so much. I love Victoria so much. In just one year, my life had taken a 360* turn and I couldn't be happier.
As they finally moved Victoria to her room after cleaning and sewing her up, when they were sewing her, I could hear Victoria making comments like,
"Why is it taking so long, are you crocheting a flower there?"
To
"Please don't make me a virgin again, the first time was hell for me."
I still don't understand how a woman who just gave birth and was experiencing unbearable pain still can't keep her mouth shut. I think she feels like it's a necessity to make a comment or remark on each and every thing in her life.
Oh god, our daughter is going to take after her mother too.
I don't know how I will handle two victorias.
As the entire family was visiting us, the room was filled with people as everyone was either looking at Amelia or Ethan who was just a few months older to her. I was actually glad that Amelia already has an elder brother.
"So I am guessing next would be Siya and Landon?" Elizabeth teased as I saw Siya's face go red at the remark while Landon groaned.
I laughed out of pity for Landon, it's bad enough that grandma is doing everything she can to make sure they end up together. But now he also has two agony aunts who are too involved in his life. One day I caught Victoria and Elizabeth making a list on "possible things to annoy Landon with". I feel like Landon is the younger brother they never had.
"Elizabeth please don't." Landon groans but he knew they were not done, by a long shot.
"Can I be one of the bridesmaids when you guys get married?" Victoria asked as she yawned, of course she was tired, she should probably sleep.
"You know when you throw the bouquet maybe Danika would catch it!" Elizabeth said and Danika's eyes widened this time.
"No, we are teasing Siya, can we go back on that?" Danika pleaded as Jake just laughed at her red face.
"No let's stick to Danika and Jake, what can be a good ship name for them?" Siya asks, desperately wanting to make the topic stick to Danika.
"Janika or Dake, which one do you like, Danika? Because you know you can be a little choosy." Victoria says as others laugh and Danika rolls her eyes before shyly looking away. I see grandma looking at Jake and Danika for a minute before smiling.
She is going to interfere in their life too now.
As Victoria yawned again, grandma ordered everyone to go out, to give us some privacy. As everyone left, the room was engulfed with silence as Amelia was cradled in her mom's arms, "Aaron, I am sorry for yelling at you so much today."
"You always yell at me." I joke as she playfully glares at me, "But on a serious note, I don't mind, I never have to waste money on Netflix, because you provide me with so much drama already."
"Well lucky for you, that we had a daughter, she will also provide you with a lot of drama. Sometimes you'll regret having us in your life." Victoria says as I smile at her at the thought. I could already tell the resemblance between Amelia and her mother, but she had my eyes and smile.
"Also I don't think you are dramatic, you are very expressive and that's good because I never have to wonder how you are feeling, you will end up telling me on your own." I say as I remember once she said good night to me at 6pm to show me that she was mad at me.
"You are right Aaron, I am like a superhero, I just pushed this out of my vagina." She murmurs as she falls asleep making me laugh.
Man, she is cute.
I quietly take Amelia out of Victoria's arms and sit down on the couch. I remembered a few years ago, when Katrine was supposed to have my kid. I was excited and happy that I was going to be a father. But I always felt like something was incomplete and just wrong. I used to console myself by saying that I am still young and nervous about being a father but this time it was different.
It is with Victoria, a woman I truly loved with all my heart, there wasn't even an ounce of doubt in my mind during this entire journey. I never felt unsafe around her, like she would just disappear one day like Katrine did.
Now that I think of it, I am glad I didn't have a child with Katrine. It is different when it's with a person you love. The fact that this kid is half me and half of the person I love most in the world just makes me happy beyond my comprehension.
When I initially brought Victoria home, it was just for a few days, till she realized that Benjamin was trouble. But then everything about her just fucked me up, the way she talked whenever she thought she was right, the way she raised her eyebrow to challenge me, the glint she has in her eyes when she knew she is about to do something that would make me mad.
It all just fucked with my mind.
As my daughter slept peacefully in my arms, I was happy that my child is going to take after her mother.
A strong woman raises a strong woman.
