This follows the months of Veronica’s pregnancy and focuses on certain events or experiences, in no specific order. This chapter is more of a Lamb/Keith interaction but the rest of the chapters are Veronica/Lamb centric
So I've come to the decision that Veronica and I are going to have 20 kids.
Why you ask?
Because seriously, I love everything about her being pregnant.
The last 5 months since I've woken up, have been the best 5 months in my whole 30 years of life.
Cohabitation:
I love living with her and being there for her every need.
I get released from the hospital two weeks after I wake up and she moves into my apartment with me immediately, in fact all of her stuff is already there by the time they release me. It's true that I've never lived with anyone before, but I don't think anyone could be as amazing as Veronica is in that aspect.
I go to bed every night with her in my arms and wake up every morning the same way.
I don't even have to worry about Keith wanting to castrate me. He actually handles this whole thing better than I expected he would. In fact he's already loving the title of grandpa and I'm pretty sure he's on the '20 children' band wagon with me. Of course that doesn't mean that he didn't make it very clear where he stood on the whole me and Veronica issue.
A few days after I wake up Keith comes to visit me while Veronica is house hunting with Mac and Wallace. She didn't want to leave but I really wanted her to be able to pick the house we would be living in. It would be her home after all and I wanted her to be happy with it.
Keith had been by a few times since I'd woken up and had been almost as happy to see me awake as she had been.
He sits down next to my bed and tilts his head just like Veronica would and I brace myself for what I'm sure will be an awkward conversation concerning the removal of my genitals.
"I think it's time we come to a stalemate." Ok, so maybe not. I just sit there in mild shock and wait for him to continue and he does. "I know we've had our differences, and it's been from both sides, but I think in light of everything, its time. I realize now that you didn't betray me, I was only hurt that you didn't stand by me. But I should never have expected you to give up your job and reputation for something you didn't believe was true. I'm still mad and hurt, I won't lie, but I also realize why you did it. And I'm willing to push it all aside for Veronica and the baby's sake. I don't want us to be at odds anymore, there are more important things in life than our stubbornness."
I am so shocked by the conversation that I am literally speechless and when I finally regain my voice all I can say is. "I would really like that Keith. " He smiles and it gives me the courage to continue. "I'd do anything for her and for my child, I love them both more than anything."
He nods and it makes me smile. "I know you do, I've always known Don, and I hope that someday you can forgive me for taking her from you for so many years. And as hard as it is for me to admit…I'm very happy that she was able to get past the animosity I felt for you and follow her heart. No one has ever been able to do that for her and it shows me how much she loves you. I know you don't remember this but the night you were hurt I told you she was yours now and that you better not disappoint her."
That's a huge thing for him, giving her over to me and I know that, I mean she's his little girl after all. "I won't disappoint her I promise." It's the first promise I've ever made to Keith concerning her and I'll follow through no matter what it takes. He nods and I foolishly think that it's the end of the conversation, but of course...I'm wrong.
He stands up and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Now all that being said, I'm gonna look the other way in regards to the fact that you impregnated my still teenage daughter and that she intends to live in sin with you. But…" Annnnd…..here it comes. "I swear to all that is holy, that if you don't put a ring on her finger before you conceive a second child….it'll be the last one you'll ever make."
He stands there and stares at me menacingly and I gulp audibly before replying. "That shouldn't be a problem sir." Fuck, did I just call him sir?
He laughs and sits back down. "Good to hear."
The truth is that it's been on my mind since I woke up, even before I found out we were gonna be parents. But fuck, I'm so freaked out by that point all I can think to do is agree with him.
It doesn't really matter though, because threat or no threat, I'm gonna marry that girl.
