Life Renewed Ch. 02-03

"I love you," John managed to say before rolling them back over so that Mia was under him. "And if I hurt you, I'm sorry," he added as he began thrusting in and out of her furiously. Mia moaned and met him thrust for thrust, her breath coming in gasps. "Mia," John groaned as he gave one final powerful thrust. Mia screamed as pleasure rolled over her in waves. "That's it love, let it go," John encouraged. He prolonged her orgasm by continuing to thrust into her gently but deeply. Mia's cries became shrill and frequent as the tip of his cock brushed by her g-spot over and over again. Finally, the force of Mia's orgasm triggered his and his cock erupted deep within her.

"Are you okay?" John asked as he rolled off of Mia gently, carefully. The look on Mia's face was all John needed to see and he grinned. "I love you and I hope I just proved how sexy you are," he added. Mia grinned as she caught her breath. "And if I didn't, you're going to have to wait until I build up some more reserves," John joked. Mia laughed and stretched out her legs. He kissed her and stood up off of the bed and headed towards the bathroom.

"John, wait, come back!" Mia exclaimed. John was back at the bed sitting next to her in an instant.

"What's wrong?" John asked in alarm. Mia smiled, grabbed his hand and placed it on her abdomen. "Oh Mia," he whispered as he leaned over to kiss you. "I love you so much." When John looked up, there were tears in Mia's eyes. "What's wrong baby?" John asked, wiping them away gently.

"Nothing's wrong. Everything feels right," Mia answered with a shaky smile.

"Hormones?" John asked.

"Must be," Mia said.

"Come on, I'll run the water so you can take a bath," John murmured, pulling away from her. He helped Mia to her feet and hand in hand, they walked towards the bathroom.

-Months later-

"How are you feeling?" Caroline asked Mia as she took a sip of her iced tea.

"I'm feeling okay. I'm nervous though about the baby. How do I know if I'm ready?" Mia wanted to know.

"Have you talked to your mother about this Mia?" Caroline asked. Mia shook her head. "Nobody is really ever ready to be a parent, no matter how much they say they are. Nervousness and apprehension are fine and normal feelings to have. Let me ask you something. Do you love John?" Caroline asked.

"Very much," Mia answered.

"And do you want to have this baby?" Caroline asked.

"Yes, of course," Mia said.

"Then you're as ready as anyone else. The only people more prepared are those who already have at least one child, and even then, each child is different. You're going to make mistakes, but you're great with kids and you are going to make a wonderful mother," Caroline said giving her grand daughter a gentle smile.

"Is this a private party or can anyone join?" Caroline and Mia looked up and smiled.

"Grace, it's great to see you!" Caroline exclaimed, standing up and giving her only daughter a big hug.

"Hi aunt Grace," Mia said.

"Wow kiddo, your dad wasn't getting when he said you were ready to pop," Grace teased. Mia blushed. "You look great Mia, really," Grace assured her niece.

"Where are Grant and the kids?" Caroline wanted to know.

"They're still in New York, Grant had to work and the kids had soccer," Grace answered, sitting down in the empty chair. "How are you feeling Mia?" Grace wanted to know.

"Nervous, scared, tired, impatient, take your pick," Mia answered.

"You are so much like your mother," Grace said with a laugh. Mia blushed. "Have you had your baby shower yet?" Grace wanted to know.

"It's tomorrow," Mia answered.

"Can't wait," Grace beamed.

-The next afternoon-

"Oh my Gosh, that's adorable," Mia whispered as she opened a package with a pale yellow teddy bear in it. After about twenty minutes of opening presents, Mia excused herself to the kitchen.

"Are you okay?" Catie asked, following her sister.

"I haven't said anything because I didn't want to spoil the party but since all we have left is cake, I think its okay to break up the party," Mia answered.

"You've got to be kidding. Mom worked every day for the last three days on that cake," Catie reminded Mia.

"The baby doesn't care," Mia said.

"What do you mean?" Catie asked.

"I've been having contractions all morning. An hour ago they were twenty minutes apart, now their nine minutes apart," Mia told Catie. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as a wave of pain swept over her.

"How were you able to hide it?" Catie asked in surprise.

"I'm a dancer and in ballet, there is acting involved so that's how I did it," Mia said after the contraction eased. "Can you get mom?" she asked. Catie nodded and hurried into the living room. When Lily and Catie returned to the kitchen, Lily peered at Mia in concern.

"Why didn't you say anything sooner?" Lily asked gently.

"I didn't want to ruin the party," Mia whispered, tears of pain in her eyes.

"You're alright sweetie, just relax and breathe." Lily turned to Catie. "Your grandfather and brother are downstairs, can you please have them come help me get Mia into the car?" Lily asked. Catie nodded and ran down the basement stairs as if her life depended on it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How are you doing?" Lily asked Mia. Mia shifted in the hospital bed and rubbed her abdomen as the baby kicked. The morphine was barely taking the edge off, but Mia wasn't about to ask for an epidural. She had had enough of not being able to feel or move her legs much after her injury.

"I think I'm going to kill John if he even looks at me in a way that suggests he wants to have sex. How the hell did you do this three times?" Mia asked. Lily laughed and let Mia squeeze her hand as a contraction hit.

"Drugs," Lily answered with a grin. "The only one I didn't have an epidural with was David and that's because there wasn't time," she added.

"Where's John?" Mia asked as Tyler stepped into the room.

"He's on his way, but there's been a bit of a problem," Tyler said hesitantly.

"What happened?" Mia wanted to know.

"He got pulled over on his way over here," Tyler began.

"So he'll get a speeding ticket, big deal. When is he going to get here?"

"He's been arrested Mia," Tyler said gently.

"What!?" Mia and Lily shouted. Mia cried out and squeezed her mother's hand.

"There was a warrant out for his arrest on the grounds of sexual assault. Apparently, his DNA was found on a rape victim," Tyler told his daughter.

"But he's going to make it right?" Mia asked.

"Mia, you need to concentrate on this now, don't worry about John. I'm sure your grandfather is all over this," Lily told her daughter gently.

"I want John! He needs to be here! I refuse to do this without him here!" Mia exclaimed, her eyes filling with hot tears.

"You don't have that option," Lily said softly. Tyler looked away when the doctor came in to check on Mia's progress and left the room all together when the doctor announced that Mia was ready to go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mia, how are you?" John asked when he had finally been allowed to call. Only Greg's tenacity and insistence had allowed John an extra phone call.

"I'm okay. We're both okay. Oh John, you should see her, she's so beautiful," Mia whispered.

"She? A girl? What does she look like?" John wanted to know.

"Like an angel," Mia answered.

"I want to be there so badly. Did your dad tell you what I've been arrested for?" John asked hesitantly.

"Rape," Mia murmured.

"I didn't do it Mia, I swear to you, I haven't touched another woman sexually since we started dating," John told her.

"I know John, you aren't capable of something like this. I know this is going to be difficult for you, but you need to focus on you now and not us. The baby and I are just fine and we've got mom and dad to help out. I love you John," Mia whispered.

"I love you too baby. I have to go now, the warden is saying my time is up. Get some rest love," John said.

"Good night," Mia murmured, hanging up the phone. She glanced over at the plastic bassinet and peered down at her sleeping daughter. "Daddy says he loves you Angel," Mia whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of the baby's head before settling back against the pillows and drifting to a troubled sleep.
