Chapter 3

Poor Sugar wasn’t feeling so hot one morning. She assumed it was the flu, so Ash jumped right up at the chance to take care of his lady.

She was mainly fatigued and only slightly nauseated. Sugar could not remember ever being sick her whole life, at least not this bad anyway, so she made an appointment with the doctor to figure out what was going on.

A few days later, Dr. Pepper confirmed that Sugar was pregnant. She was so excited when she got home to tell Ash the good news. Sugar rubbed her growing belly in anticipation.

Ash was ecstatic when he heard the news. Nothing could wipe the smile off of his face that night.

“Ash, I really don’t think you can hear anything yet, darling.” Sugar couldn’t help but giggle at how silly her husband was being.

“Hi baby! I’m your daddy! I’m looking forward to meeting you! Yes I am!!”

A couple days later Ash stopped by the bookstore on the way home from work to pick up some pregnancy literature. They had a lovely evening together learning about ‘What to expect when you’re expecting.’

Sugar and Ash decided it would be best to make some renovations to the house to make it look more warm and inviting for their growing family. Not many changes, just a few windows and some baby furniture. 🙂

Neither of them really knew too much about cooking, so many of their meals were eaten cold out of the fridge.

As Sugar’s belly grew, Ash took every opportunity he could to feel the child inside of her.

These two love playing games together.

Pregnancy was taking its toll on Sugar. She was constantly tired, often taking several naps in the middle of the day while Ash was working.

Poor Sugar went into labor while Ash was at work. Too afraid to go to the hospital alone, she decided to have a home birth.

Sugar Skies welcomed a tiny baby boy into the world, she named him Nobel.

Ash found the precious baby in his crib when he got home and immediately scooped him up in his arms.

“Nobel, my baby boy, I promise to protect you from harm forever.”

Ash woke up the next morning and started a beautiful fire to dedicate to his son.

Sugar bought herself a guitar so that her and Ash could jam out together. 🙂

Ash and Sugar were talking one morning and they both decided that they wanted another baby, so they arranged to try for another after they put Nobel down for his nap.

The Skies received a hot tub as a wedding present from Sugar’s parents, so they decided to take it for a test run. ;D

The days flew by and soon the small family was celebrating Nobel’s first birthday.

What a cutie! ❤

He’s going to break a lot of hearts one day.
