PAUL's POV :
I woke this morning next to my beautiful wife Nina. She was still sleeping peacefully, I had to wake her up even if it's against my will, but we had to go to work. I leaned closer over her and kissed her temple slightly. She smiled even if her eyes were still closed, she turned to face me, and finally she opened her eyes filled with love. She was staring at me and she placed her hand on my cheek and said "Good morning handsome." My heart melted when she called me 'handsome', I kissed her back on the lips, and said "Good morning wifey." She smiled again and we kissed again. I said reluctantly "We have to get up and go to work." She nodded and said "Yeah and we also have to tell the news to our colleagues and friends."
We got up and prepared ourselves, I made breakfast while Nina was in the shower. Once she was ready, she went downstairs, we ate breakfast. Next I went to shower while she was brushing her teeth. I was in the bathtub and suddenly I saw Nina's head picked out of bathtub's curtain. She said "Chop chop Paul, we have to be in the car in 10 minutes." I replied seductively "Good it's enough to pleasure you." She sighed at my comment and said "You're unbelievable Paul, but you know we can't, if we are late Julie is going to be mad." I sighed defeated because I know she was right, so I quickly finished my shower and dressed up.
We were on the driveway and in 30 minutes we arrived and parked. We headed to the filming set, and we were on time which was reassuring. We walked over to Julie and said 'Hi' and she said "Are you guys ready to film season 2 episode 7 ?" We both nodded and Nina said "Yes we just have to go to the makeup and hair dresser." Julie said "Yeah good, don't worry we have time, I got a message from Ian, he told me he was stuck in the traffic." We nodded and walked towards the make up and hair rooms.
It took a lot of time to prepare Nina as today she was filming for Katherine's role. The hairdresser changed her hair into wavy and curly hair, she was so pretty with that hairstyle, well actually my wife is gorgeous with any hairstyle she has.
After 30 minutes of preparation, we went to the dress room to change our clothes and dress up as our characters. As we were about to shoot the "Masquerade", Nina was wearing a beautiful black lace tight dress and I was wearing a black suit. Once we were ready Nina turned to me and said "Paul you're drooling." I chuckled and I took her hand and laid a kiss on it, and I said "It's the Katherine effect." She laughed and she hugged me and kissed me lovingly on the lips.
Then we went back on the set and everyone was ready, all the actors we here and prepared. We said 'Hi' to each other and Julie said "Okay guys let's try to film the Masquerade scene in 3 hours. And that will be all for today because we have a technical issue on the Gilbert house, that I hopefully will be repaired for tomorrow." We all nodded and went on set and got ready to film.
NINA's POV :
It took us a little bit more than 3 hours to film the scene but Julie was pretty happy with our work. Even if it was only 3 hours it was dense and I always stayed focus and concentrate because I was playing the major part of the scene. Now that we finished it's the time for Paul and I to tell everyone the great new !! Once everyone was off set I walked towards Paul and took his hand in mine, I gave him a kiss near his ears so that I whispered "It's time."
He smiled at me and then I said "Guys Paul and I wanted to announce y'all somethings." Candice directly looked at my lower stomach and said "Don't tell me you're..." I shook my head no with a sad face and Paul replaced a strands of my hair behind my ear as I was looking on the ground. He rubbed my shoulder to comfort me and encourage me to talk.
I finally said "We are going to adopt a kid !!" Ian said "Woow congrats love birds." Kat exclaimed "Omggg I can't believe you're going to be both parents." Michael said "That's amazing !!" Julie said "I'm so happy for you, you guys will form a beautiful family !!" Steven said "Great news guys !!" Arielle asked "Congrats !! When are you going to adopt the kid ?" I answered excitedly "In exactly a week !!" Candice said "I can't wait to meet your daughter or your son !!" Paul asked "Btw Julie is it okay if we bring our child here while we are filming ?" She answered "Of course it's fine as long she or he is respectful." I replied "Great, thank you !! We didn't want our kid to be alone while we are on set during the weekend for example." Julie replied "I totally understand, so you can take your kid here, I'm sure your colleagues will be really happy to look after your child while you're filming." Kat said "Yeah of course we will take care of the kid." Paul said laughing and looking at me "I guess our kiddo will have a lot of aunties and uncles." I said "Thank you all for your kind words and support, you're amazing guys."
After the announcement to the cast, Candice, Kat, and Arielle took me apart from my husband and the guys. I asked "What's the matter ?" Kat said "We just wanted to know something about your announcement." Arielle continued "So I guess you can't be pregnant ?" I mean your health issues haven't been solved, aren't they ?" My smile dropped, I really wanted to cry as tears started to form in my eyes. The girls looked at me and said all together "Awww sorry Neens." and they engulfed me into a girlie group hug. I managed to say "Yeah I can't be pregnant due to my uterus dysmorphia, because I could be in danger and the baby could have had only 3% of chances to survive, which is really low."
After that I cried, I think no one could understand the pain I feel since I discovered I couldn't carry a baby. It has been destroying me since Paul and I found out. I went through depression and got eating disorder. To be honest that was the worst phase of my life, it took me 3 years to went through that nightmare. I'm glad that it's now over, and I'm thankful to have Paul in my life because I couldn't have been able to face my health issues without him, he was the only one I was fighting for and who gave me strength.
Arielle said "Neens I know you've been through a rough and a really hard period. But now think positive honey, you're going to adopt a child, isn't that amazing !!" I replied still sobbing "Of course I'm happy, but the fact that the child isn't biologically mine is something hard. But it doesn't mean that I'm not gonna love my adopted child. There are so much orphans who need to be loved, I'm so glad that Paul and I reached the top of the waiting list, we were waiting for so long." Kat said "You guys really deserved to be parents, mostly you Neens, you have always been so maternal. I mean look every time you saw a kid you're always going to talk to him . Also you always loved babysitting since your youngest age, I remember when you babysit your adorable neighbour's daughter while you were only 15 years old, and you did a great job. So I have no doubt to the fact that you're going to be an amazing mother." Candice said "Yeah Kat is right. Plus it doesn't matter if the child is yours biologically or not, actually the positive point is that you'll not have to get a baby out of your pussy for hours and hours and screaming in pain." I laughed at her comment and I thought to myself that my friends were all right. I said "Thanks girls for comforting me, I love you." They all replied back 'We love you too', and they hugged me one last time.
Then, Paul walked towards us and said "Hey Neens, we have to go, we have to tell the news to our families." I nodded and said goodbyes to my friends and colleagues and we headed to the car.
Once we were in the car, Paul asked me, putting his hand on my thigh "Are you okay ? You seem like you had cried." I said nothing, then Paul stopped the car and parked on the roadside. He looked at me concerned, I started to cry again. He said "Heyyy baby come here." gesturing me to hug him. He added "I know, I know it's hard for you, but I promise everything will be fine once we will adopted our little girl or boy." I replied "Yeah I know but the fact that everyone now knows that I can't even be able to have a baby of my own is killing me." He said "Nina stop, look at me, don't pay attention to what people may think of you, their opinions don't matter, okay ?" He cupped my face with his hands and he kissed my forehead. I said "Okay I'll try, I'm so glad to have you in my life Paul." He replied "I'll be forever grateful for the most strong wife I've got. I love you sweetheart." I said back "I love you more."
PAUL's POV :
After 30mn of road, we arrived at our house. We went into the house and I saw Nina slumped on the couch. She said "I'm so tired, that 3 hours shot killed me." and I replied "Yeahh I am too." Then I asked "Paul is it okay if I'm not here for the announcement for our families ? I'm so tired that I could sleep within a minute." I replied "Well that will probably be a little bit awkward but it doesn't matter as long as you get some rest, you need to sleep Neens. That's fine, I'll explain to our families, I'm sure they will understand as they know we worked really hard with TVD filming." She got up and said "You're the best, thank you." and she kissed me on the lips and she made her way upstairs to our bedroom.
It was about 2pm, my parents and Nina's parents were supposed to come to take a coffee so that we can make the announcement. This morning I noticed that Nina was really tired, she probably stressed out the whole night about the announcement. So I couldn't blame her if she needed to get some sleep. This new event has been stressful for the 2 of us but a lot more for my wife.
I heard a knock on the door so I went to open the front door, and I saw Nina's parents and mine. I welcomed them in the house and let them sat on the couch in the living room. I asked "Who wants an espresso ?" They all wanted one so I made 4 espresso and brought them to the coffee table. Nina's parents were confused as they didn't saw their daughter so they asked "Where's Nina ?" I answered "Well she was truly tired with work so she went to sleep and she told she was really sorry she couldn't stay awake until you came." They looked sad so I said "But maybe you want me to wake her up, she has already slept more than an hour." Her mother Michaela said "No don't worry, let her sleep, she needs it. Guys you should think of taking more breaks." I replied "I know but the filming of TVD is already planned and as we are both playing the major characters, we must be on set a lot." Michaela said "Yeah I understand, but I hate to see you guys that much tired." My father asked me "Can I have some sugar please ?" I nodded and went to the kitchen and took the sugar.
When I came back to the living room I found Nina walking down the stairs. I said "Oh look who is awake." Nina's parents were happy to see their daughter so they said together "Hi cutie pie, we missed you so much." Then my parents said 'Hi' to Nina and she sat down next to me on the sofa. Nina yawned and her father asked "Are you okay ? You still seemed tired whereas Paul told us you were sleeping ?" Nina answered "Yeah I'm fine, it's just these last weeks I've been kinda stressed out so I have not been able to sleep that much." Michaela concerned asked her daughter "What's wrong ? What is stressing you ?"
Nina looked at me and I clearly understood her sign. I put one of my hand over hers and I smiled at her, nodding a little. She said "Well it's because we have a big news, it's something that we wanted to tell you." Everyone went silent and all gave us confused faces, I continued "It's been a long time that Nina and I thought about it, and a few days ago we learned that it was finally possible. So soon we are going to adopt a child."
Both of our parents gasped, my father said "Wow Paul that's great !!" and my mother said "Omggg I sure you will be a great dad." Michael said sobbing "Aww my baby is going to have a baby. I'm so happy for you guys." and Nina's father said "Congrats guys !! You will form a great family." Nina replied "I'm so relieved that you're all okay with this." I said "Yeah really, thank you for your support." Michaela said "No matter the choices you make I will always respect them and support you guys." Nina hugged her mom and whispered 'Thank you' in her ear. We talked for an hour about the adoption and our parents left our house.
I said to Nina "I'm so excited to have our child." She replied happily "I can't wait too. We just have to wait for a week." I said "Ugh it's so long, I want to take our baby in my arms now." Nina came closer to me and said seductively "Well I can be your baby if you want." I laughed at what she said and I answered "Come here baby, daddy is going to take a good care of you."
