I sat in the hospital bed, annoyed as fuck as this nurse blabbed on and on about what I should and shouldn't do with my son. It wasn't her concern.
"No sleeping with him in your bed or arms. Make sure you feed him exactly every two hours. Make sure-" she started.
"Shut the fuck up. I can take care of my own son how I please." I yelled and then cradled my son closer to me. "Get the fuck out of my room and don't bother me again."
Her glare made me smile. But she left willingly. The door opened shortly after she left and I grabbed the remote, ready to chuck it at her head if she had the nerve to come back.
"Whoa whoa whoa. Should I leave?" Rob said and acted like he was going to turn and leave.
"No. Sorry. Please stay. The nurse that just left pissed me off. Telling me how I should and shouldn't take care of my son." I said and rocked him, his little hand holding onto my finger.
"What's his name?" Rob asked and smiled as he sat on the edge of my bed.
"LeLand. His name is LeLand." I said and stroked my sons hair. It was so soft and his eyes just stayed locked on my face.
"Handsome name for a handsome little man." Rob said and smiled at us, which for some reason brought a blush to my face. "We haven't been properly introduced, I'm Robert Evans. But as you already know, I got by rob."
"I'm Camile Klein. And this is my son, LeLand James Klein." I said and held my hand out to him and shifted Leland so I could hold him better.
"Pleasure to meet you, Camile. May I hold him?" Rob asked as he looked at Leland. His eyes were so gentle, I figured he wanted kids.
"Of course." I said and scooted in the bed but rob came closer to me and I placed my newborn son in his arms. Leland just stared at him with a blank expression and held onto one of robs fingers. Leland's hand was so small that it barely went halfway around robs finger. "So, if I may ask, how did you know to show up at my house to check on me when you did?"
"Erin told me you seemed to be getting really close to your due date, and that you were getting symptoms of early labor. So to tell you honestly, she had me sitting at the end of the driveway so that if anything happened, I was right there. When I heard you scream I knew I had to get you to the hospital." He said and stroked lelands black hair.
"That makes sense." I said and leaned back in the bed, closing my eyes and breathing deep. "Did she tell you what happened to lelands father?"
"No. I told her that I wanted to get to know you ok my own. That she didn't need to tell me anything, you would tell me on your own, if or when you wanted to." He said and gently rocked Leland, who started to make soft cooing noises.
"Knock knock." Came a happy female voice. Erin bounced into the room but stopped dead when she saw rob sitting on my bed holding my son. "Interesting."
"What is?" I asked as I looked up from rob and my son.
"Are you absolutely sure that your son is Bryan's? He looks an awful lot like rob." Erin said as she came in further and just looked at us.
"Of course Leland is Bryan's son. I haven't slept with anyone else. Except... Oh god." I hid my face and started to cry.
"Rob, care to explain?" Erin asked as she tapped her toes.
"I'll be back, Camile." Rob said as he laid Leland back in my arms then dragged his sister out of the room by her arm.
I crossed my legs and pulled the shoulder of my gown down to feed my son. He instantly latched onto my nipple and started to eat. What if Leland was robs? I mean, I don't remember sleeping with Ron but I did have a fling with someone who looked like him when I was drunk and lonely. Bryan never found out, since he was over seas. My heart broke further and I started to sob. We would have to get a paternity test to know for sure if bryan is lelands dad, or if he's robs son.
Rob came back into the room and took his spot on the bed. He looked annoyed and confused.
"I'm sorry, Camile. Erin wasn't supposed to know what we did. She left. She said she couldn't handle this right now." Rob said and gently rubbed my knee then removed his hand and sighed. "What if he is mine? What do we do then?"
"Then we take it one day at a time. We wouldn't live together right away but you would see him, whenever you wanted. I would want us to get to know each other better before we even got together." I said and rubbed lelands head gently as he released my nipple. My cheeks flamed with a blush as robs eyes locked on my bare nipple before I could cover it up. "We can figure it out today, if you want to find a nurse."
"Yes, I'll be back." He said and got up, leaving me with butterflies in my belly. The news of the paternity test would tell me the way my life will end up.
Rob returned quickly with a nurse, thankfully not the one who pissed me off.
"I'm going to need a little bit of blood from your son. He is going to cry, but he will be alright. And I'm going to need some from you too, sir." She said and looked at rob, then poked my son with a needle and pulled the blood into a eyelet dropper. Then she did the same to rob with a new needle and dropper. She labeled both then smiled and left.
Leland whimpered and cried for maybe five minutes but soon dozed off in my arms. He was so perfect. Pale skin like me, with dark hair that shined. And beautiful eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off my little angel of a son.
"He is perfect." Rob said and smiled.
"Yes, he is." I said and yawned.
"Let me take him for a little while so you can rest." He said and I willingly handed Leland over. Rob sat in a rocking chair and rocked back and forth while softly singing to Leland as I dozed off.
A knock at the door woke me up from my nap.
"Come in." I said and looked at the door as a nurse walked in with a paper.
"These are the results of the paternity test. I'll leave you guys be." She said and handed me the paper. My heart was in my throat as I skimmed the paper and found the result at the bottom.
Rob was lelands father.
