The New Family Member
30 and Pregnant
Noortje’s POV
It was my birthday and I was pregnant. Never had I ever expected to look like this when I just turned 30. Wow. 30 fucking years old. It seemed like just a couple of days ago when Tony and I just got together and I was still 28. And when I moved the America also didn’t seem that long ago. Vic was still the toilet brush guy, but also a guy of many other talents. Back then I didn’t know how well he could sing and play the guitar, neither did I know that they were going to make it this big and I got to be part of that success. Everything was so surreal. My family had always made me believe I was nothing. But look where I was now.
The door to the bedroom suddenly opened and Tony walked in with pancakes, “happy birthday to the woman that’s carrying my baby!”
“Oh, so that’s all I am now,” I chuckled and took my time trying to sit up right.
“No, you’re also the woman I’m going to spend the rest of my life with,” he sat down on the bed and kissed me before looking around where to put the plate and cutlery, “this was a lot easier when I could still put it in you lap.”
“Well, how about we go downstairs to the table and eat there,” I suggested and started getting out of bed, “I really don’t care and it would be nice eating with you instead of you watching me eat.”
“Ok,” Tony put the plate on the bedside table before rushing over to my side of the bed and helping me up. He wrapped his arms around me as stoon as I was standing and stable, and he leaned forward. I closed the space and pressed my lips against his. One of his hands traveled up to cup my cheek to make the kiss deeper and I happily let him explore my mouth. This were getting pretty heated and they were getting heated fast.
I pulled away, “we don’t want the pancakes to get cold.”
“Maybe we do, if there’s things we would rather do,” Tony smirked at me.
“Well, I like my pancakes when they aren’t too cold,” I teased and got out of his hold, “maybe later.”
“Don’t take too long, we still need to figure out a position.”
“Definitely sideways,” I whispered seductively and bit my lip, knowing it would make Tony go crazy.

After having done exactly what we desired, without hurting me or the baby, we still had a whole day to spend together. Well, we basically got to spend everyday together, but now it was for my birthday, and Tony insisted on doing something else other than staying and home and doing nothing. At least we already did one thing we hadn’t done in ages and wouldn’t be able to do much in the future. Babies were a lot of work, so there would be no time, and after that they grow up and hear everything. It would be difficult, but it was worth it.
“I would take you out on a hike because the weather’s amazing, but you can’t exactly do that,” Tony laughed and looked at me after looking outside the window.
“We will be able to go on plenty of hikes after Spud is born… if you don’t mind having a baby strapped to your back or chest,” I pointed out, knowing that Tony would love to bring the baby outdoors and into the nature as often as he could.
“I would definitely not mind! You’ll have been carrying Spud around for nine months, it will be my turn!” He joked and looked back outside.
“I’ve had enough of carrying the baby,” I laughed and rubbed my bump as if apologizing to Spud, “nine months is pretty fucking long.”
“Hmm, well, the nursery is almost finished and they want to come in to finish things up, so we might want to get out of the house.”
“What do you want to do, though?”
“I don’t care,” he walked up to me, “it’s your birthday.”
“And you are the one that wants to do something special,” I grabbed onto his wrist and started pulling myself up.
“I would take you to a fancy restaurant, but I don’t think you’re up for that.”
“Well, you’re right about that,” I grinned and gave him a peck on the lips, “
“So, what would you like to do?” Tony subconsciously caressed my bump while looking at me.
“How about we just go for a short walk in the park and take Bailey along with us? We haven’t done that in ages!”
“If you think that’s special enough…”
“Anything is special enough.”
----
Tony and I were both sitting on a bench looking over a large green field. We had taken Bailey off the leash so she could run around and play with other dogs. This park was basically a very fancy dog park. Tony had wrapped his arm around my shoulders and I was leaning into him. A walk was a very nice idea, but I just could stay up for that long. I was getting exhausted pretty fast.
“You know,” I spoke up after a moment of silence, “Vic is convinced you will propose to me today. But I just laughed at him, like always.”
Tony chuckled as well and looked at the tree opposite from us, “What is their obsession with us having to get married? They’ve been doing this since they found out about us.”
“I know, it’s weird. They haven’t ever considered getting married themselves, so why force us into it? And now that I’m pregnant, some people think that we have to get married. Just because we are going to have a baby, does not mean we need to rush into it all.”
“I agree,” he kissed my cheek and pulled me closer, “but, just out of curiosity, have you ever thought about getting married?”
“Not really,” I shrugged, “it’s mentioned a lot, but I haven’t really thought about it. I mean, everything will still sort of be the same. Why would we spend a lot of money on having a wedding? I don’t necessarily have this need to get married. What about you?”
“I sort of have…” Tony scratched the back of his head, “quite a bit, actually…”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I-”
“No, don’t worry. I definitely want to marry you sometime in the future, but right now is not the time. Only when the time is right. It might be in a couple of days, or weeks, possibly months, but it could also take years. We still have time.”
“Yes… we still have time,” I rested my head against his chest and he kissed the top of my head.
We were going to do this in our own order and take our time. Nothing was going to be rushed.

Notes
I felt like there needed to be another filler chapter before the next one. Even though I don't feel like much important is going to happen anymore, I don't want to rush things and have some weird time skips that make you guys confused.
So that being said, I don't think there will be much more than 5 more chapters, unless I suddenly get a boost of inspiration and feel like writing more. I will promise, however an epilogue, maybe even make two different ones. One for a couple of years in the future, and one even further in the future. I don't know yet. What would you guys like?
@Nickyvlxx
You still have one epilogue to go ;) but it's still in progress, so now you also have to wait patiently :P
Good luck with the ATL stories, by the way, I hope they don't bore you.
