A modern fairytale part 12

 On weekends, Julian, who had a comfortable income, looked for a "large family" house in Minnesota. He found one in a small town and bought it. He then took all the necessary steps to emigrate, found another job in the USA and a year later the family was able to take a one-way flight.


Kelly really wasn't feeling well. She was feeling nauseous. Julian, who was sitting beside her with Brennan on his lap, said to his son: 


"- You're going to be a big brother." Then, seeing that the little boy didn't understand, he took Brennan's little hand, put it on his mother's belly and explained: "- There's a baby growing inside Mommy's belly! The child laughed.


"- Are you happy? "


The little one said yes.

Kelly was afraid of giving birth in hospital again. She had just felt the first contractions and warned her husband:


"- If I have to go to the emergency room again, let me die!


- You'll be fine, Kelly. I'm going to fill up the pool, you're going to sit in it and give birth peacefully, without medical help.


- Are you sure about this?


- God told me last night."


Julian disappeared for a moment to prepare the pool, then came back to fetch Kelly, who went to sit in the water.


"- Is the temperature okay?


- Yes, it's fine, lukewarm.


- Come on, darling, it's time to push. You can do it!" The father-to-be encouraged her, barely concealing his concern.


Kelly grunted for a long moment, her face red with effort, then Mary-Annella Lucy was born, in full health. She was very beautiful.
