My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 58

The next few months passed faster than I was ready for. Elias and I were practicing with Rhett. Elias

was slowly getting the hang of it. My stomach was expanding more than I was expecting. I expanded

all the way to eight months. Our little baby was growing so quickly and he or she was healthy and

thriving. My stomach got so big that I couldn't see my feet standing up. I wobbled like a balloon, my feet

were swollen, and I couldn't even sleep comfortably anymore. I was always tired and cranky. I got

weirder food cravings and mood swings.

I wobbled down the stairs to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. I opened the fridge and grabbed a banana Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

with some hot sauce...

Yeah, the cravings were that weird.

"Hey beautiful," Elias said as he entered the kitchen and kissed my cheek. I felt my lip tremble as my

eyes watered. I burst out in tears. Elias frowned and quickly pulled me into a hug. "Oh crap, Nova,

what's wrong? Is it the baby?" he asked. I sobbed as I nodded.

"I'm fat and swollen and you just lied to me to make me feel good... You must really love me," I cried.

Elias hesitated before he chuckled and kissed my head. I cried against his chest for no reason at all.

And there go the mood swings...

"You are more beautiful than ever, cupcake. I'm not lying," he chuckled. Elias chuckled while I cried. He

laid me down on the couch as he began to rub my feet with a smile ghosting his lips.

"It's not funny!" I glared at him through my tears. He couldn't help but to laugh.

"I know, honey," he smiled. I huffed a breath before I sniffled and wiped my cheeks. Alexa and Mathias

walked into the house hand-in-hand. They frowned when they saw us.

"What's wrong?" Mathias asked immediately. Elias smirked at me before turning to his parents.

"She cried because she thought I was lying to her to make her feel better," he explained with a

chuckled. A few more tears slipped out as I sniffled.

"He said I was beautiful," I cried in a small voice. Mathias and Alexa laughed as they sat at the other

couch. Alexa held one of my hands in hers.

"Hormones?" she asked. I nodded before I turned and glared at Elias.

"This is your fault," I snapped at him. Elias only chuckled as he shook his head at me and continued to

rub my feet. I finally calmed down and closed my eyes. Elias' parents talked with Elias while I relaxed. I

felt an uncomfortable push in my lower regions before a flow of liquid escaped from between my legs.

My eyes shot open as I tried to look at my crotch. I couldn't see over my stomach.

"What's happening?" I asked out loud. Elias' wide and shocked eyes met mine.

"Your water just broke," Alexa answered. My hands flew to my stomach.

"Oh no. No, it didn't. It couldn't have. I'm not ready yet! The baby isn't due for a few more weeks!" I

said, trying to sit up.

"Let's get you upstairs," Elias said frantically. The pressure increased on my pelvis as I gripped the

couch in pain.

"Hell no! Are you crazy? Take me to the hospital right now!" I yelled at him. Elias froze and looked at

his parents before he looked at me.

"A homebirth isn't that bad, Nova. I heard it was actually better because you'll be more comfortable in a

place you recognize," Elias said. I glared at him.

"We're going... to a hospital," I practically growled at him.

"You two didn't discuss this before now?" Alexa asked bewildered.

"No!" we said simultaneously, never looking away from each other. I felt a contraction and held back

the need to push as I grit my teeth. Elias froze and just scratched his head. Alexa huffed a breath and

rolled her eyes as she helped me up.

"For heaven's sake, child. Now is not the time to ponder," she said as she helped me towards the door.

I couldn't stand up all the way. I hunched over as I placed a hand on my back. I cried out as another

contraction hit me.

"Now, let's go now," Mathias said urgently, snapping Elias out of it. We all piled into the truck and

Mathias sped to the hospital.
