It was a sunny morning just like any other with my life partner by my side, the alarm sounded and it's time to wake up and put together his lunch so that he can go to work. I stayed in the house as i always do and fell of sleep again.When i woke up i felt something watery in my right breast. I started to think that it was something bad but didn’t do anything i just got up to clean and cook for when he gets home. I heard a nock and opened the door i pulled Ricardo into the bathroom and asked him what he thought the liquid was. He stared at me;
Ricardo then asked, “ when was your last period?”
I said, “ It was a bout 3 months ago, but it has always been irregular not every month in a row. sometimes i don't have one for two or three months.”
Ricardo said, “ I think that you are pregnant.”
Both of us laughed and hugged each other being happy at the fact that after three years of being together we were going to be parents. however all of the happiness turned into worry.
Ricardo blurted, “ Your mom! How are we going to tell her?”
I reply, “ I don’t know, you need to help me.”
Ricardo said, “ she is going to get really mad at us, you remember how many times she told us to take care so that you wouldn’t get pregnant?”
I asnwer,” I know but she needs to understand we have been dating for three years now, I just hope to find the right words to tell her.”
It was time to tell my mom, both were in our room and as we always do, then she would come in just to say hi and to know what we were doing. When she gotten in right away she told us that by the look in our faces she can tell that we needed to tell her something. We told her to stay chill and told her that I was pregnant I waited for her to blow in anger, but she just told me,” I knew it, I was just waiting for you guys to tell me, I meant I had a though but I wasn’t real sure.” Ricardo and I stared at each other with a face of shy and happiness. We had a long chat about what we were going to do and what we thought about it and things like that; my mom was just being … a mom. Three days past and we told Ricardo’s parents the news and they also told us that they kind of knew and I told them that my mom had probably told them already but they said no that they could tell by my eyes and my face; that kind of freak me out. The months pass by and I wasn’t getting big at all but the doctor always told me that my baby was good and that I was doing a great job; I felt proud of my self. As my pregnancy grow I was feeling awesome no pain or tiredness. The time pass and I knew in my mind that there was a person that also needed to know about the new life that was coming, My dad Although is in Mexico he is my dad and he needed to know. One afternoon that I was all alone at my house I pull strength and have the courage to tell my dad he pick up the phone and I just started talking and letting it go, my dada stood quiet and asked me,” Is he at last good to you? Is he willing to help you? Are you happy?” I answer,” Yes.” I remember something that was a relieve for me, he told me, “ Then I’m really happy for you and all of us, and well you know what it going to be?” I say, “ A boy.” He was real happy,I’m glad that he dint use a silent treat on me or any kind of that. On June 9,2012 around 4:00 in the morning as I was sleeping I started feeling some kind of a pinch it didn’t hurt but it bothered me. I tried to ignore it but it just wouldn’t let me fell of sleep again. So I was real uncomfortable.
Then i said:” Ricardo I feel something it doesn’t hurt but I can’t go back to sleep.”
Ricardo answer, “ Maybe it's time remember that is no going to hurt at first, come on baby let go take a bath so that way you will feel a little bit more relax and comfortable.”
A took a shower and went back to the room we started counting the contractions and he was real nervous at seven he needed to get ready to go to work, but he didn’t wanted to go, I told him that it was ok that if something happened I will call him to let him know and that everything was going to be just fine. He left but with a worried face. Around eight I couldn’t handle it is was starting to hurt, I told my mother in law to go to the hospital with me. Since it was then minutes away we walk.As I was walking the pain went away; When we got to the hospital I though that they were going to send me back home and for my surprise they kept me there because I was already four centimeter. The pain was intense so I wanted to talk, I walk until eleven am because I needed to go back into bed so that they could monitor the baby. I decide that it was time to call Ricardo and told him that it was time he was in Carbondale so it wouldn’t take him long to get to the hospital. The pain grew stronger and hurt more and more, so I decided to get the shot in my spine. As they were about to put me the shot Ricardo was getting there and with a scared face he asked me if everything was ok and what were they doing, I couldn’t responded it hurt. Finally I could rest, but in a blink of an eye the nurse came in and told me that it was time. What needed to happened; happened Ricardo was crying, my mom and me as well . At two fifteen pm Joctan Zabdiel Simental was born at the Valley View Hospital and that made the most happiest day of my life. He was and is a great baby I got lucky because he is real quiet and calm doesn’t cry or scream he is perfect. Until that day my life was great l and I realize that, “ The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.”
