Forever Us Chapter 17
BROOKS Crystal has been home for 4 days now and she is getting restless not being able to get up and help around the house. I called her doctor and asked if she was able to sit outside for a little while and he said she should be ok doing it just to make sure she didn't try to walk. After I made Crystal's breakfast, I cleaned up our dishes and went into the room and picked her up off the bed. "Brooks, what are you doing?" "I'm taking you outside to sit in the sun for a little while." "I don't think I am supposed to be outside, Brooks." "I called the doctor and asked. You can sit outside but you can't get up and try to walk." "This sucks!" "I'm sorry, baby. I wish I could heal your leg for you." I sat her on the back porch and decided to go ahead and clean the yard up. Crystal thinks I am just giving her time outside but little does she know that my reason for cleaning the yard is because Pastor Lay will be coming in 2 days to marry us. I have already talked to mom, Vi

CRYSTAL I woke up to someone knocking at the door. I looked over to see it was 8:45. I nudged Brooks to wake him up and told him to go see who was at the door. When he came back to the bedroom, He put a shirt on. "Who was at the door, Brooks?" "It's my mom, Viola, and Kinz." "Why in the world are all three of them here?" "They wanted to come see you, beautiful." Brooks left the room and Ashley, Viola, and Kinz came into the room. All three of them had bags in their hands. "Um, Ashley, what are all those bags for?" "Well darling, we brought some clothes over for you to try on. We figured since you were stuck in this room, you might like to have a dress-up day with us." "I can't stand up to get dressed." "We know that silly girl. We are going to show you the stuff we brought and you get to pick which items you like and once we have gone through all of them, Kinzlee can help you try them on and narrow down which you like the best." "Ok. I guess we could do that."

BROOKS Today is the day that I marry the woman of my dreams and the love of my life. I am scared sh*tless right now and even though I already know she wants to marry me, the thought of her freaking out and saying she doesn't when she is supposed to say I do, has me scared. I'm glad she is still on bed rest and has been napping a lot because it's given me time to get everything done and having Jonah and Kinz sneaking around and helping set stuff up. Marvin and Viola will be coming by around 3:00 to start getting the finger foods on the trays and my mom and Ray will be here around 3:30 when they get off work. Jonah and his girlfriend are riding with Kinz and Pastor Lay will be here at 4:30. I decided not to wear a tuxedo today. Instead, I am going to wear black dress pants and a white dress shirt. I told everyone just to wear whatever they were comfortable wearing. Knowing my mom she will be wearing a dress and will be fully dolled up with makeup. Ray will probably be wearing shorts and

CRYSTAL "Crystal, is there anything you want to say to Brooks?" Tears were streaming down my face. "Um. Wow. Well, this is certainly a surprise. Brooks, If you would have asked me where I saw myself today back when we first met, I wouldn't say here. When we met, falling in love with you was the last thing I would have expected to happen. I know we had some issues in the beginning but falling in love with you gave me the drive to push through and work out our issues. You have been my safe place, my comfort, and my peace. Over the past year, I have been blessed to watch you change into the amazing man who stands before me and I couldn't be any more thankful than I already am, that I am the one you want to spend your life with. I love you more than you will ever know Brooks and I can't wait to start our forever." "Beautiful words spoken between the two of you. I can see and feel the love that the two of you have for one another and I am happy to be officiating this union. I

BROOKS It's been 3 weeks since Crystal and I got married and her doctor has given her the okay to get up and move around more with help. We decided not to have a honeymoon until after Marvin is born and is old enough for us to leave him with one of the sets of grandparents. Crystal has been having some pains in her stomach so we have an appointment in an hour with her OBGYN. Once Crystal was ready to go we headed to the doctor's office. There was a little wait but it wasn't too bad. As soon as Crystal was called back the nurse asked me to help her change into a gown so she could be examined. When the doctor came in she started the exam but it didn't take long for her to figure out what was going on. She told Crystal and I that the pains she felt were contractions. She said she was going into early labor and she was 2cm dilated but with how far along Crystal is, that Marvin wouldn't be in any danger of being delivered this early. I asked her what we needed to do and she told me that

CRYSTAL The pains are still pretty intense but they are still 4 minutes apart. I don't want to go to the hospital until they are 3 minutes apart like the doctor said. It's 7:30 a.m. and I've been up since 4:45 a.m. I'm starting to get sleepy but I've been trying to stay awake with Brooks. "Hey beautiful, why don't you try to get a nap? I can see your eyes are getting heavy." "I'm okay, Brooks." "Crystal, please try and get a nap in. I want you to get as much rest as you can." "Ok, Brooks. I will try to take a nap." I laid back and closed my eyes. When I woke up, Brooks was sitting next to me. "How was your nap?" "It wasn't long but it was good." "You've been asleep for the past 3 hours, beautiful." "It was not 3 hours." "It's 10:45 beautiful. Are the pains still bad?" "Honestly, no. I don't think I've felt any pain since I fell asleep." "I've been right here since you fell asleep and I haven't heard a peep out of you nor have I seen you hold your stomach." "Why would the

BROOKS After I got off the phone with Seth, I checked on Crystal. I told her I was going to make us salads for dinner. I headed into the kitchen and began to make them. I put 2 different kinds of dressing on the tray because I wasn't sure which one Crystal would want to use tonight. I grabbed the tray and headed back into the bedroom. I placed the tray on the bed and sat down. We began eating while watching TV. I noticed Crystal was taking her time eating and I asked if she was ok. "Oh, yeah I'm fine baby." "Crystal, I can tell something is either bothering you or you are hurting and not wanting to tell me." "I'm fine, Brooks. I'm trying to deal with the contractions, that's all." "If you are contracting more, you need to let me know." "I promise I'm fine, Brooks." "Ok, but promise me if it gets any worse you will let me know." "I promise, Brooks." After we finished eating I cleaned the dishes and called my mom to see if Jonah could cover for me at work tomorrow.
Forever Us Chapter 24
CRYSTAL I have been here for an hour now and the nurse who just came in to check me said I was only dilated to 4cm. The doctor asked if I wanted something for the pain but I told her no. I decided after our accident that I didn't want anything for the pain. I barely took my medicine when I had the broken wrist and leg and I managed through the pain then so I didn't feel like I would need it for giving birth. After another hour of laying there, the doctor came in and checked me. She told me that I had dilated to 6cm and things would probably progress pretty quickly now. I pray they do because these contractions hurt like hell! I was able to find a comfortable position to lay in for a while before the pain hit again. I looked up at the clock and saw that I had been here for almost 3 hours and still no baby boy. Another nurse came in and said she was going to check my progression and the look on her face as she took her glove off told me I must not have dilated much. She told us that
