A Choice [One-On-One // Closed]

"Ah, yes. I remember when I was pregnant with you and your brother. I was always cleaning throughout my third trimester," the queen chuckled. "It was a lot of work, and everything had to be perfect. Otherwise, I'd just cry about it."

"That's how I feel!" Lilah laughed. "Just this morning, I almost didn't get a stain out of the counter, and I wanted to cry. Thankfully, I had Cameron, though. He's been such a help." She turned to smile at her husband as she spoke.

Lilah turned her hand in his so she could squeeze it back gratefully.

"Of course… Your father tried to help me, but he just ended up making a bigger mess most of the time, so he stayed out of my way," the queen said softly, her face softening at the memory. "He was so excited about it…"

"He misses you, you know," she said softly, glancing up at her daughter.

Lilah sighed and looked away, tightening her grip on Cameron's hand slightly. "I'm sure he does… But I'm not ready to see him, so please don't try to convince me."

The queen sighed and nodded slowly. "I know. And I won't. You'll see him in your own time…" If that time ever happens…

"Exactly. Thank you," Lilah said softly.

(Ah… Can we skip? Idk what to have them talk about anymore…)

"So… Any tips? Tricks?" Lilah asked, smiling at her mother again.

(Lol. Nope. I've gone through most of my pregnancy knowledge. ;P
Um… After another 1-3 months? They could have a labor scare… Thinking she's going into labor early or something…)

(Sure. Lol.
But it's your turn to start! #NotIt )

(Lol. Thanks. :3)

"Mr. Metzler?" a nurse called, stepping into the waiting room. She glanced around, looking for Cameron.

The nurse smiled. "You may come see your wife, now. You have a healthy baby boy."

"They're both very healthy and happy that it's over with," the nurse chuckled as she led him to the room.

(We both could? Or I just could? Up to you.)

The nurse chuckled again. She stopped at a door and knocked before pushing it open a crack. "Lilah? Your husband is here."

Lilah's face would have lit up if she wasn't already glowing. She beamed at the nurse and nodded. "Send him in, please," she said in a soft, tired voice.

"Exhausted," Lilah breathed, her voice holding a slight laugh. "But incredibly happy. Cameron… We have a son!"

"They were cleaning him off a bit, I think, and then checking his vitals," Lilah answered right before a nurse stepped into the room with a small bundle of light blue blanket. Lilah grinned at the sight and reached her arms out to her new son, and he was quickly handed over to her. A few happy tears ran down her face as she gently kissed his forehead, then looked up at Cameron. "He has your eyes…"

Lilah silently nodded her agreement as she bent down to kiss her son's nose. "He's perfect… Cam, do you remember when we were talking about baby names? How I wanted to name him Tobias, after you?"
