The Cheating Millionaire

Chapter 6 helping with the delivery

SEAN'S POV

It's Saturday morning and I haven't heard from Summer since our texts after the scan. I remembered that Summer was having everything delivered today from mother care and a lot of it was heavy stuff. Plus I don't want Summer carrying heavy stuff and over doing things, so I decided I'd go and help her and I won't take no for an answer. I just finished getting ready today I opted for grey track bottoms and a white t-shirt. I debated calling or texting first but then decided I'd be able to convince Summer better in person.

With that in mind I started my journey to Summers. I was soon knocking the door at 11:30am. It didn't take long for Summer to answer, she looked gorgeous today wearing white leggings and a baby pink shirt.

"Hey" I say

"How come your here?" Summer asks.

"Well you have the mother care delivery this afternoon and I saw how much heavy items and things you need to carry in. Therefore, I decided it would be wise if you just gave me orders where to put things and I did all the heavy lifting." I say without taking my eyes off Summers beautiful face.

"Oh" summer says sounding surprised.

"No, need to sound shocked it's my job to help protect and look after our daughter as well. You know it makes sense since you shouldn't be lifting heavy things therefore just let me help." I say

"Okay, I will put the kettle on then" Summer says opening the door wider to allow me in.

Well that was easier than I expected I thought to myself.

I followed Summer into the kitchen. It was my first time seeing the kitchen, and it looks lovely.

Blue walls, white tiled floor. White cupboards with white and grey effect marbled sides. The cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave are all silver. The kettle and toaster are black.

"I like kitchen" I say.

"Thanks, I had it furnished and painted before I came back from Spain along with the rest of the house" Summer says.

"You always did have good taste to home furnishings. Although I noticed no pictures are up in the hallway, and you love your pictures on display" I say.

"That's because I'm waiting for little princess to arrive, I want a photoshoot with her done before I hang pictures up." Summer says.

"Can I come along and have some pictures with her as well please? When you have yours done?" I ask with pleading eyes.

"Okay makes sense to do it all in one day" Summer says handing me a coffee, before taking her own drink walking out the kitchen.

I follow summer into the front room.

The front room has magnolia walls, grey silver chair to match the grey sofa. The chair in front of the window with black curtains. The sofa has black cushions. A fluffy clack carpet with a big grey rug in the middle. A TV on the wall above a modern black fireplace opposite the chair. There's a little unit by the door.

I take a seat on the sofa while Summer sits in the chair.

"This room seems to empty compared to how you usually style a room" I say.

"It's not finished yet but will be later. I'm having a bouncy chair down here in front of the sofa and chair. A mosebasket next to the chair this side of me. And a baby play mat on the floor in the middle of the room, hence the reason there's no coffee table. But there's a little table between the chair and sofa cornered in if you want to put your coffee Down* says Summer.

"Oh, I didn't notice the table, but it makes sense why the room is bare with the all the baby things that will fill the room." I say.

"Well hopefully the delivery arrives soon all I know is its pm, we could be waiting a while" Summer says.

"It's okay, I haven't got any plans today anyway." I say

SUMMERS POV

I'm shocked Sean actually thought of coming to help with the delivery. I didn't expect it, but it made sense to accept the help. But now I have to make small talk while praying the delivery arrives soon, so we can avoid talking.

" So you all ready for Christmas?" I ask

"No I haven't started yet, you know me a last minute shopper, what about you have you started yet?" Sean replies.

"Yes! I did my Christmas shopping yesterday, I want to be ahead with little princess due so soon. My mum told me not to worry about the Christmas tree and decorating the house she will do it all when they arrive. So I'm all sorted." I say.

"I didn't think about it that way, maybe I should start mine also. I just have no idea what to get my mum, nan and sister for Christmas" Sean says.

"Your nan loves Yankee candles and body shop products. Your sister loves to collect Pandora charms for her bracelet as well as shopping in super dry and Hollister for clothes her favourite perfume is lady one million.

Your mum likes lush bath bombs like me, also collecting Pandora charm bracelets. She also likes Yankee candles as well as Thornton chocolates." I say.

"Wow! I don't think I could remember all of that" Sean's say.

"Okay well there all online shops I can shop for them for you and have it delivered to your works if you want?" I say, not that I want to help him, but I like his family too much to let them suffer is awful gifts. One year he brought me dog shampoo thinking it was human shampoo.

"You would do that for me?" Sean asks

"Not for you but for your family, I quite like them." I say.

"I know you do, and they love you to, I'm sure if they could choose who be related to between you and me they would choose you" Sean says.

"Okay how about some lunch, if the delivery isn't here after we have eaten then we can start online shopping, if it turns up before we start I can just do it for you tomorrow what do you say?" I say looking at Sean awaiting his reply.

"Okay thank you and lunch sounds good let me help you" Sean says.

"Fine, you can butter the bread while I chop the cucumber, tomatoes and cheese." I say standing up to go into the kitchen. Sean follows and does as I say without saying anything.

Once the sandwiches are made I try to reach the tea plates from the shelf in the top cupboard, but this bump just gets in the way. Katy had to put em up high I think to myself going onto tiptoes at the same time Sean is right behind me reaching saying "Here let me get them."

"Thanks" I say stepping back bumping into him. "Sorry I didn't mean to knock you." I quickly say.

"It's alright, I shouldn't of stood to close to you" Sean says.

I take the tea plates and put our sandwiches on them as I hand Sean his plate I feel a cramp in my stomach leading me to put a hand to my stomach while frowning.

"What's wrong?" Sean asks putting his plate on the side.

"I think she might have moved to quick or could be Braxton hicks again" I say as it passes.

"What's a Braxton hick?" Sean asks.

"Fake contracts, I had them last a week and half ago, they actually delayed us to be flying a few days because of it." I say

"Okay well go sit down, I will bring your sandwich in" Sean says.

While eating our sandwiches I had enougher cramp, but I managed to hide it easier being sat down. Great Braxton hicks again I think to myself.

"Thanks for the sandwich" Sean says once he has finished eating his.

"That's okay" I say

"Are you sure your okay? You have been quite since we made the sandwiches" he asks.

"Yes, I'm okay. I'm just thinking, I should text my mum I haven't spoken with her in 2 days." I say

"Okay, want me to take your plate out?" Sean asks.

"Oh, no need I can do that, I can grab my phone at the same time for the kitchen side" I say taking his plate.

Once I reach the kitchen I have my 3rd cramp.

Bloody hell why today I have to get these things again I think to myself.

I quickly text my mum.

To mum

Hey mum, how are you? Sean turned up a little over an hour ago to help with the mother care delivery totally took me by surprise, but I'm relieved now I don't have to carry anything and the Braxton hicks have come back. Miss you xxx

As I go to grab a class of water the door goes.

"That be the delivery" I shout to Sean, as I change direction to get the door.

Sean comes and out to the door as well.

We're soon into a rhythm of me stood there rubbing my stomach, telling Sean which rooms the boxes need to go in. And where which bags should go where.

It takes around 45 minutes and the cramps keep coming around every 8 minutes.

SEAN'S POV

I moved everything as quickly as I could, I could tell Summer was uncomfortably stood by the door telling me where everything needed to be. I asked a few times if she was okay, but she insisted she was fine. Once everything was in the rooms Summer wanted them she asked if I could grab her phone from the kitchen, while she went to sit down in the living room.

"Hey here's your phone" I say walking back into the front room.

"Thanks Summer" says.

"How about you sit there and relax I can start unpacking the boxes in here for you?" I suggest.

"You wouldn't mind? I feel a bit tired to do it myself right now" Summer says.

"Of course I don't mind, I'm happy to help" I say and start to unpack the first box next to. It's the Moses basket and stand.

As I set it up next to Summer her phone rings. I can't help listening as I'm so close in the same room.

"Hey mum" Summer says.

"Yeah it's continuing" summer then says, and I wonder what's continuing I think to myself.

"Don't worry mum, you panic more than I do. Honestly if anything happens I will ring you straight away, but I'm sure your be here before little princess" Summer says.

What why is her mum worried about not making it here before the baby arrives, isn't she coming 2 weeks beforehand the baby is due I think to myself.

"Yes Sean is still here, he is currently unboxing the mosebasket for me in the front room." Summer says. I just think well that's correct, but I also hope she doesn't want to speak to me, I don't fancy hearing her yell at me just, yet I think to myself.

"Mum if you want to come next week instead it's fine but stop fretting, let me speak to dad." Summer says.

"This okay here?" I whisper once I've finished with the mosebasket.

Summer gives me a thumbs up.

"Dad make sure mum stops hmm worrying" Summer says but sounds like she is in a little pain again like earlier.

I give Summer a quizzly look at the pained sound.

"Don't worry dad it's just enougher Braxton hick which is why I had mum hand the phone to you, so she wouldn't fret any more. I'm sure it's just like last time it will pass within an hour or so like before" Summer says.

She had Braxton hicks for over an hour and didn't tell me I think as I'm unpacking the bouncer.

"Okay dad I promise I will ring you later this evening I love you and mum to

Bye" Summer says.

"Why didn't you tell me your still having these Braxton hicks things?" I ask the second Summer puts her phone down.

"Because you would have fretted, and I wanted the delivery sorted. I will be fine they will soon pass" Summer says.

"Well I'm not going home until they have passed, I will keep unpacking things while you rest." I say.

"Fine" Summer says putting her phone on charge.

"Is there anything I can get you to help you feel more comfortable?" I ask.

"No, I'm fine honestly" Summer says laying down on the sofa.

Once I've finished the bouncer Summer decided the baby swing could also go next to the play mat on the floor.

Then she had me set up the buggy which came with a car seat, pram ECT loads in one basically leaving it by the door.

SUMMERS POV

"Okay the rest can wait until my dad arrives" I say.

"And have the Braxton hicks stopped yet?" Sean asks.

"Not yet" I say honestly

"Then find me something else to sort" Sean says looking at me with a don't even try to argue it out look.

"Okay, well there's the cot and baby changing unit in the nursery to build actually I will come up also. I've started my hospital bag but been waiting on things to arrive today, so I can finish packing the baby's stuff in with it" I say

Sean offers his hand to help me sit up from the sofa and I decided to take it instead of arguing for once. And then I head upstairs as I reach the middle enougher cramps strikes. I fight through it but slow my pace a little continuing up the stairs

Once we reach the nursery I sit down on the floor, so I can look through the bags of clothes to start packing the baby's stuff.

Sean starts building the changing unit.

By the time he is done I've finished packing everything from nappies to breast pads and clothes etc.

"Sean could you help me stand up please? Before you start on the cot?" I ask knowing I can't get of the floor without help right now.

"I'd of helped you before if you had asked I didn't realise you were finished packing" he says.

I take Sean's hands while he helps me stand up, but I feel a gush of water go down my legs I quickly look down and then at Sean.

"What's wrong?" Sean asks only keeping his eyes on my face, so he didn't notice the water running down my legs yet.

"Sean we need to go to the hospital" I say starting to cry.

"Why what's wrong?" Sean asks worried.

"My waters just broke and its to early there's still 3 and half weeks until she is due." I say through the tears.

"Okay let's get going then." Sean says placing a hand on my back to guide me out.

"No let me get changed first you take the car seat and my hospital bag onto the car and bring me my phone quickly please" I say.

Sean runs down to get my phone first while I start walking to bedroom to grab some dry clothes

Sean comes in panicking with my phone as I'm getting clothes out the wardrobe.

"Stop freaking out, it's not you about to deliver a baby it's me! Snap out of it go sort the car seat and hospital bag" I say.

"Okay" Sean Says dashing out.

I ring Labour ward at the private hospital informing them I'm on my way in.

As I finish getting changed I then ring my mum.

"Summer how are you have the Braxton hicks gone yet?" My mum Says the second she answers the phone.

"Actually my waters just went mum how quick can you get here I'm scared." I say.

"I will be on the next plane out with your father, but we probably won't make it on time. It might wise to ring Karen I'm sure she will help you." My mum says.

"Okay I will do that but mum hurry please I need you." I say practically begging my mum.

"Summer you can do this, your about to become a mum! I know it's early, but I promise your both be fine, and I will be there soon to help you both in the early days of motherhood. I'm sorry I won't be there during labour, but I will ring your brother to hurry down to you okay?" my mum says.

"Okay thanks mum I need to go." I say

"Okay we both love you and will be with you soon" my mum says then hangs up.

I head downstairs "Sean the hospital are expecting us we need to go now" I say. Then I pull my phone out again to ring Karen as I lock up.

RING RING RING RING RI

"Evening, summer how are you and bump?" Karen says answering the phone. As I'm getting into the car.

"Karen my waters just went the baby is early my mum isn't here can you come be with me please, I really need someone right now?" I say.

"Where are you? I can come get you" Karen says.

"Sean happened to be with me, so we are on the way to the hospital now, I'm actually just getting in the car. But I need you with me please I need a women's support please meet me at the hospital" I say.

"Summer put me on speakerphone a second honey" Karen says.

I do as I'm told

"Okay your on speaker" I say.

"Sean, I'm on my way but listen to me, you do everything summer asks of you. Don't argue there's no winning a woman in labour. If she wants her back rubbed do it, if she doesn't want you touching her don't touch her every woman is different. She will naturally know what she wants as she needs it. Your job is to listen and just do as your told. Support her and nothing else until I arrive is that understood?" Karen says, and I can't help smiling at what Karen has said.

" I understand mum." Sean says.

"Summer honey, your be okay. I'm on my way, don't you worry your be in good hands at the hospital." Karen says.

"But its to early 3 and half weeks to early I'm scared about the baby not me." I say and Sean squeeze my hand quickly as we stop at some traffic lights trying to reassure me.

"I promise the baby will be fine, it's amazing what they can do these days even as early as around 20 weeks pregnant, some babies survive earlier births." Karen says.

"Okay, I will let you go but please hurry." I say.

"I'm on my way don't worry I will see you soon" Karen says.
