My Fake Lover

#Lexi’s POV:

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

You don’t know how’d it feel to be in labor until your actually on the spot. I’ve always said I wanted to give birth already. To see my beautiful baby. To see if the baby has Tyler’s eyes or my hair. I want to see how beautiful my baby, Tyler’s baby – which will obviously be cute as hell – stays laying in my hands. I also needed to find out the gender, it’s killing me not to know but at the beginning of it all, we wanted it to be a surprise. So I always wanted for this day to come. In my full almost nine months of pregnancy.

But now, I was crying for it to stay in a bit longer, since Tyler Freaking Evans wasn’t freaking here yet and I was in pain! So much pain I wanted to squeeze the life out of something, anything. This hurts more than I ever expected it to.

The doctors tried to stop me from screaming, but I screamed at them to shut up. This was not the time to get on my nerves. A baby was actually finding its way out of vagina for Christ sake!

“Mrs. Evans, please calm down. Your husband will be here soon.” One of the nurses said with her soft voice.

Calm down? How was I supposed to calm down? She wasn’t the one screaming in pain on this uncomfortable bed. And how would she know where the freak Tyler was?

“CALL HIM NOW! I CANNOT HAVE THIS BABY WITHOUT HIM!” I cried out. I put my hands in my messy hair, adjusting myself in a more comfortable position on this rock hard bed, but that was impossible.

“Lexi darling, we can’t get a hold of -”

“OUCH!!”

“Your doctor will be in shortly. About a minute.” She says.

“I WANT TYLER TO BE HERE!! NOT THE DOCTOR!”

“Okay miss but -”

“DON’T YOU BUT ME! TYLER BETTER BE HERE OR ELSE I’M GOING TO CUT OFF HIS BALLS SO HE CANT GIVE ME ANOTHER ROUND OF THIS! HE’S THE ONE WHO DID THIS TO ME SO HE BETTER BE HERE!” I didn’t even know what I was yelling anymore, but I don’t really mean anything I’m saying. Being in labor hurts, and also stressful. Especially when your husband isn’t around to comfort you.

“You about to have a-”

“Baby!” Tyler came running in the room breathlessly, his blue eyes wide, hair messy and sweat running down his face. “Shít! I’m so sorry.” He ran by my side and took my hand in his. That’s when I started crying. Yeah, it was because of the pain I was in and the happiness I just built up when Tyler came running into the room. All this, the pregnancy, the labor, makes you very emotional.

“Where were you?!”

“Too much traffic, but believe me, I ran five stop lights to get here.”

Tears.

“The cops could have caught you for speeding you-” my screams interrupted my sentence causing Tyler to sqeeze my hand a bit tighter.

“Oh my god!” I breathe out. This is scary.

“It’s okay babe, your going to get through this. And besides, I’d jump off a building if I had to, just for you. I’d die, but-” he shrugs and smiled, that million dollar smile that always made everything better. I knew he was trying to make me feel a bit better and it was definitely working.

“Tyler-” my voice broke, and I cried in pain, “were about to be parents.”

…….

You always remember the best moments of your life. The times that really made you smile. The times that made you cry in joy. The times you just want to take a picture of and tape it to your scrap book so you can look through it when your old, and smile and laugh. A golden memory.

This was a golden memory.

My Baby. My baby girl.

I blinked my tears away.

“We have a daughter.” Tyler whispered, his eyes were glossy, like he was about to drop a tear. If he wasn’t crying at this moment, I’d be pissed.

Tyler was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the beautiful face of our beautiful baby, laying gently on my hands. A white blanket was wrapped around her tiny body.

“Yeah.” I choked.

Like I said, a golden memory. Hearing your baby for the first time. Hearing her cry was the best sound I’ve heard all day. After hearing all those “push” and “you can do it’s”, hearing her cry was the best. It’s like hearing her breathe, hearing that she was okay. That everything was over.

But seeing your baby for the first time was the best thing in the world. Her beautiful eyes, soft skin, tiny hands and toes. It made me cry. I was actually a parent now. It felt like I just told Tyler the good news about me being pregnant just yesterday.

And now it’s here and its reality.

Flashback

“Let me down!” I laughed, but Tyler decided not to listen. And suddenly, I felt like hurling my guts out.

“Tyler,” I said, serious this time. My voice came out weak. He let me down and looked at me with a worried expression. “I think I’m gonna-” my words were cut off when I puked all over the hardwood floor. I really felt like crying.

“Oh shit! Lexi! Are you okay?!” Tyler said as he took a few steps away from my puke. I wiped my mouth with my sleeves, not caring how disgusting that is. I had bigger things in my mind about a smaller thing in my stomach.

“I’m so sorry.” I said, but if came out barely above a whisper. My voice broke as tears began to slide down my pale cheeks. I was scared. Scared as hell.

“No, no. It’s okay.” Tyler said as he came to my side and hugged me. Are you feeling sick?” He asked.

“Uh, yeah Tyler. Um… I’m, Tyler I’m…”

“Your what?”

“I’m pregnant.”

Tyler’s face paled. Like he was freaked out shittless. That’s what I expected for his reaction to be. Freaked out. But what I really wanted from him was a smile. But we’re both still young to be parents. We’re still finding our way through life and our way through college. Though he did purpose to me so… yeah.

I made up my mind and thought that it’ll be great, having a family with Tyler. The guy I love. The guy I’d marry soon. I already live with him anyway, so I thought everything would be okay. I thought we could smile and be happy about the pregnancy. I thought there could be no freak out’s. Apparently I was wrong ’cause if I knew anything right now, I knew Tyler was nervous, and obviously shocked.

‘Well sometimes protection don’t worry, buddy.’

I looked down, suddenly embarrassed by this whole silence thing going on. I hated being the last one to speak before the whole room just falls quiet. Especially after saying some important news, because this was killings me. He needed to say something, anything. A simple “wow” would have been nice.

“Tyler, I know that we’re not even married yet but I really think-”

I stopped midway since Tyler grabbed my hand with one of his and moved his other to my chin, pulling it back up so we were looking eye to eye. I looked into his deep blue eyes, beautiful blue eyes. Then he smiled. He actually smiled. I don’t know if it was because there was something funny on my face or… I don’t know.

“I love you Lexi-bear. And I will always love you. And if we’re really going to have a baby added to our life, I’ll love her too. Real talk.” He says, his voice coming out softly. I just felt like kissing him. Before I had the chance to throw myself at him, he continued.

“Or him.” He adds, making me giggle.

I lift myself and wrap my arms around his neck so our lips were only an inch away. “I love you too.” I say against his lips. I finally press our lips together and I could feel him smile against me. Perfect.
