Abigail POV
I sighed as I finished folding all of the laundry. I've just been feeling so empty lately.
Before I go any further I should probably explain what the heck is going on.
Here goes.
My name is Abigail and I am married to Cam Newton, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers.
I'm sure most of you folks are thinking that I am pretty lucky.
Honestly I am but right now I am having a problem.
A few months ago I was pregnant and suffered a miscarriage.
I can honestly say that it absolutely devastated me.
Cam was beyond upset by it too, which has lead,to another problem.
He and I have not really spoken to each other in at least a month.
It's really been a rough time and it scares me that it won't get any better.
Two evenings later, I was laying on the couch taking an afternoon nap when all of a sudden
I felt lips on mine.
I quickly opened my eyes and saw Cam smiling at me.
"Hey baby girl" he said, with that smile that I absolutely love.
"Hey" I said, still in shock.
I mean after all this is the first time we've actually spoken in a while.
"Listen, babe, how about we go out for dinner this evening?"He asked.
"Really?"
"Yeah,why not? We've not done that in a long time."
"Well, ok, sounds great." I said.
"Awesome. I'll go get a shower." Cam said giving me a wink.
I smiled. Maybe this is the start of things turning around for us.
An hour later, Cam and I were at dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.
"So, how have you been?" He asks me.
"Ah, getting by." I said, with a smile.
Wow, I'm talking to my HUSBAND as if he is an old friend I haven't seen in a while.
That kind of makes me sad.
Anyway, we talked about small things for a few minutes and THEN all of a sudden,
Cam threw something unexpected at me.
Out of the blue, he asked me this exact question.
"Abi, can we try for another baby?"
What????????
Did I hear him right? My hubby wants to try for another child? After me having a miscarriage only a few months ago?
I honestly felt my broken heart stop for a brief moment.
"Ummm excuse me?" I asked.
"I wanna try for another baby."He said. "So what do ya say?"
"Cam, I really don't feel ready for that." I admitted.
"Awww come on,baby girl." He said,giving me a pouty face.
Folks, that face used to get me every time but I, really unsure about this.
"I'm still so upset over the miscarriage." I pointed out.
Then something else occurred to me.
"Is that the only reason you asked me to,dinner?" I asked with tears in my eyes.
"No, baby,I just miss ya so much. I miss everything. The talking, the cuddling, and most importantly, a baby." Cam said."I want back what we have lost."
"I miss you too." I said, tearfully. "I'm just very unsure about this baby thing."
He took my hands in his and kissed them. "I understand, my sweet."
I was about to say something else when I realized he was not finished talking.
"How about this? If I win the Super Bowl, we try for another baby?"
Say what?
"Babe, what are you talking about?" I asked.
"Exactly what I said." Cam said, with a wink."Come on baby girl, please?" He begged.
I thought about it for a minute and look at Cam's face.
Oh boy. Folks, the face might just get me this time.
And why not? I do miss all of our times together and if this would bring us closer again, then why not give it a go?
I sighed."All right. That seems fair."
In case you guys didn't know, the Panthers are going to the Super Bowl this year.
Cam smiled and reached over and kissed my cheek.
"I'm definitely gonna win this thing now." He said, pretending to pop his collar.
I could not help but giggle. Cam is so silly sometimes.
Three weeks later......
Ok, folks, it's Super Bowl Sunday.
I smiled from my front row seat right behind the Panthers sideline.
They are playing the dreaded New England Patriots.
Oh yeah. Tough team. Needless to say, the Panthers are NOT the team that has been picked
by everyone to win.
We'll see is all I have to say about that.
The first half of the ball game was horrendous for Cam. He was throwing interceptions like there was no tomorrow.
He had also been sacked so many times it's not even funny.
At halftime, the score,was 20-3,in favor of the Patriots.
I could see the frustration in Cam's eyes.
My heart went out to him.
At the beginning of the third quarter, before Cam went back out on the field, I could see in his eyes that he was ready to throw in the towel.
So I stood up from my seat and yelled,"Come on baby, you can do it!"
Cam stopped and looked at me and smiled.
Folks, then it was like something had drastically changed.
The last half of the ball game was a COMPLETE turn around.
Cam and the rest of the Panthers were on FIRE.
The final score ended up being 27-20. Panthers.
What a game!
And to top it all off, Cam was made MVP of the game.
When it was all over, I ran out onto the field to congratulate him.
When he saw me, he pulled me into a HUGE bear hug.
"You did it,baby."I said, kissing him.
"I sure did,baby girl." He said. He then looks at me."so, what about that promise?"
"Absolutely" I said, with a smile.
Cam smirked."just wait till I get ya home,then."
I giggled and pulled him into another kiss.
Folks, I,don't think I need to tell you what took place that night.
Four weeks later, I woke up one morning feeling nauseous.
Great.
Then I thought of something else.
I went to the bathroom and took a quick pregnancy test.
Three minutes later, it gave the result we all had been wanted. POSITIVE.
I felt tears in my eyes and then Cam knocked on the bathroom door.
"You ok in there?"
I opened the door and made his day by showing him the result.
He pulled me into a kiss. "I love ya so much baby girl."
"Love you too," I said, with a smile.
I could not wait to begin a family with my wonderful husband.
