Kate Morton

I was through hard months, having to survive and continue my life in difficult moments. The 8th month was already very, very stressful for all three of us. Jules squirmed a lot and poked my belly several times every day. I sat down on the toilet for fear of each squirt and Lando was away again and again. He left every Wednesday and we could barely see each other. To my greatest sadness, he couldn’t help me so Cisca came over to help me every day. By November, it was pretty cold in England and my little boy didn’t really like it. I couldn’t wait for it to finally be born and this “burden” to be taken off by the doctors. My days were pretty much the same. I had breakfast carefully in the morning because I didn’t want my stomach to be in trouble. I really didn’t know what to do all day because I could barely move because of my huge belly. Cisca came to us every 2 days and was with us all day. On the other hand, I was able to handle things and one more important thing. Putting together a baby room is a very important part of my day. Color range and cot. Lando’s constant journey, of course, makes things harder, I mean, I want he to be prepared to be a good father. I mean, I’m confident he’ll be a good father because I love him, but still. Maybe it would be better if we could spend more time together and then be prepared for everything. It would be best if Lando were there when Jules was born. Yes, childbirth. I'm so scared of giving birth, but why? Why am I afraid I can give life to a child, our love child who saved my relationship with Lando. The relationship that was already doomed. We were doomed to this, this little baby fixed everything. I’m so emotional and at first I don’t think it’s 1 month and I can hold my prince in my hands. So coming back today is just Tuesday and that means Cisca is coming soon. Lando’s mom is helping me gratefully and enthusiastically, which is very good because my mother’s death has been very worn out for the past 1 month. When Lando’s mom is here I feel like Mom is here too. She hugs and helps. Iron and buy me lunch. Cisca had already packed the baby's clothes for the hospital and was eager to buy all the baby supplies. Maybe Mom would do that too. Maybe. If she were here with me. Dad would do just that, and he wouldn't even let me get out of bed to avoid trouble. Believe me he would do that. He always took care of me. He always protected me. Lando Norris also protected me, but now I'm still here. I'm Lando's bride.

-Honey, I'm here, --Cisca said. Two large packages of food came in the door. She unloaded it on the dining room table and immediately went to the kitchen to wash his hands. I was sitting in the living room with the laptop in my hand.

-Hi, --I told her and then I went to her for a hug.-- What will be lunch today?-- I asked excitedly.

-Kate, you're always hungry. Today will be a lunch that Lando can eat. He said I would bring one

-Does that mean he is  coming home for lunch? --I asked excitedly

-Sure, --Cisca said and then she started washing the plates. I’m so grateful that at least she’s so kind to me

....

-I'm here, babes, --Lando said when he came. I was already sitting at the table when I saw him. He held a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He had a huge bouquet of tulips in his hand. He came closer and pressed a kiss to my mouth. Then he handed over the flower

I immediately smelled the flowers and my breath ceased. I love tulips

-Thank you, --I told Lando sensibly before he took the flower and handed it to his mother. Cisca looked for a vase of flowers and Lando sat down next to me
--And what a day you had?, --I asked him

-Well, it's pretty boring. It was just a simulator and a simulator today .Sometimes Daniel laughed.

-I’m glad you had a good day, --I said with a smile and we started having lunch. After lunch, there were only two of us with Lando so I had a chance to talk to him about the important things. I have a feeling he won’t be the happiest I want to tell him what to do. Because I don’t want to, it’s just better to discuss a few things.

****

-I thought it would be better to clarify a few things, --I started my monologue

-What do you think, Kate?

-You know, Lando, I'd like to say first that I know I'm not your wife and I'm fully aware of that.

-Do you want to bring the wedding forward now? Because don't be mad anymore, but you wouldn't be able to do that now,-- Lando said, then smiled.

-No,-- I shrugged, --let me tell you. Well, I thought, I want you to be there when Jules will born, --I managed to say what I've been keeping to myself for weeks.

-Well, --Lando couldn't speak,-- that's really nice of you, but I don't know. I love you Kate, but that would be too hard for me. I can't imagine that situation at first

-But you don't have to imagine !!

-But it does. Because you're going to lie there in the operating room. And I'm going to watch you in despair. I don't know ... Would I be able to do that?

-Of course you could. We will solve everything together, --I told him and then I kissed him. --But I'm mad at you for not wanting to be there with me.

-Don't do that anymore, --he said, kissing me back. --Too bad we can't go on, --he said, then stroked my belly.

Jules had been moving all night so I could barely sleep. All night only his birth came to mind and we were close to the time. It will be mid-December.

-In mid-December,-- I suddenly sat up in bed .Lando turned to me in bed too

-What's wrong with Kate?

-December 12. You will be in Dubai. And I'm here. How ... How am I going to give birth to Jules like this?

Hello!
I know this part didn’t really last long, but I had so much time today. I'm sorry you had to wait that long for the new part. Soon Jules is born and Kate's life is overwhelmed. Remember that there are only 6 parts left
