y/n's pov
i wake up from my sleep to see my mom, anne and harry talking. they notice i'm awake. "hey, how are you feeling," anne asks me. "tired and exhausted," i reply. "that's normal, better get used to it," my mom says. "i definitely will," i say with a giggle. harry walks over to me wrapping his arms around my shoulders hugging me. i hug him back giving him a short sweet kiss. "hi," he whispers. "hi," i whisper back smiling. "you did amazing, i just wanted to tell you again because i'm really proud of you," he says. "thank you," i reply. "where is he," i continue to ask noticing he's not in the room. "they had to go run some tests and get his blood type and all that, they should be bringing him back soon," he replies. he lets me go and lets my mom hug me. i wrap my arms around her, "i'm proud of you baby." "thank you. i love you," i reply. "i love you too." anne is next to hug me, "congratulations, you did amazing." "thank you." the amount of times i'll say thank you today will be insane but it'll all be worth it.
after a few minutes of us all talking about the baby, a doctor comes in and she hands malachi over to me. i stare at him in amazement. i glide my finger across his cheek, similar to how harry did earlier, and smile. my boy.
"i'm going to ask a few questions if you don't mind," the doctor asks. i turn my attention to her, "okay." "do you plan on breastfeeding?" she asks. "yes," i reply. "okay, in a few minutes we'll try and see how he does attaching," she replies. "okay." "would you prefer he stay in here at night or the nursery?" i look over at harry and he gives me the look of 'whatever you want'. "in here." "okay. when would you want visitors?" "in a few hours." "okay. that's all i need right now, any questions?" i think for a minute, "nope." "okay, if you have any questions, just let me know. i'll be sending in another nurse to help with breastfeeding." "okay thank you."
she walks out and i look back at malachi. harry walks back over to the bed and stands next to me. i scoot over a little bit so he can sit next to me. he gladly gets up on the bed and wraps his right arm around my shoulders and his left goes under malachi's body to support him even more. we hear a camera click and look over to see anne and mom taking pictures of us. we both smile and they take another picture of us. i switch malachi from my arms to my legs, which are propped up now. "he's so tiny," i say tearing up again. "i thought you'd be big," i say after. "he is pretty tiny, pretty cute though," harry says. "yes he is. just like his daddy," i say looking up at harry. he smiles down at me, giving my temple a kiss. i lean down and kiss malachi's soft cheek for the first time. harry copies my action. in this moment, the world isn't a thing to me. it's just malachi, harry and i. my family. my family is officially started and i wouldn't change it for the world. i can see harry and i having more kids together and getting married.
"do you have all 10 fingers, mr malachi," i say. i pick his tiny tiny hands up and rub my fingers against his tiny fingers. harry giggles next to me causing me to giggle. i let go of one of his hands and move my hand to his little hat the hospital gave him, sliding it off to see a full head of hair. "oh harry, look at his hair," i say excitedly. "come on guys, come look," i say after, looking at anne and mom. they don't hesitate to walk over to us. moms on my side and anne's on harry's side. harry's hand goes up to rub his hands against malachi's head, feeling his hair. "it's so soft," he says. he leans forward and gives the top of his head a kiss. my moms hand comes into view and she smoothes his already smooth hair down. "awh, my grandson," she says. i look up at her to see her crying once again. "he's so precious you guys," she says after a few seconds. "i know, thank you," harry says.
before anything else was said a knock comes from the door and in comes a nurse. "hi, i'm jennifer and i'm here to help breastfeed," she says holding a comforting smile. "hi," i say. mom and anne go back to their original spots to get out of the way while harry gets up from the bed, standing next to it. "okay, we'll get started in a few minutes."

it's about an hour later and it's just harry and i besides malachi. mom and anne decided to leave and go home to get some sleep since it's 2am. earlier malachi latched on really quick which i'm thankful for so i'll be able to breastfeed him. unfortunately i can't for a few days until i start making milk. tomorrow will be an eventful day because everyone's coming tomorrow to meet him. i can't wait for my dad to meet him. he had to go to work earlier so he couldn't meet him because he works the night shift.
"do you want to hold him," i ask. he hasn't been able to hold him from everything going on at once so now is the perfect time to. "yea," he replies softly. "come sit next to me," i suggest. he comes and sits next to me on the bed similar to the way he did before. i lift malachi off my body and hand him to harry. he gently lays him on his arm, supporting his head, looking at him. i look up at harry, analyzing the way he's looking at his son. you can see the love in his eyes. a tear rolls down his face once again. i'm quick to wipe it away, catching his attention. "he's ours y/n. all ours," he says. he looks overwhelmed which is normal considering how young he is and everything. "i know baby, i know," i say laying my head on his bicep. "i'm already a proud teen mom," i say after a few minutes with a giggle. "and i'm a proud teen dad."
after about 20 minutes of silence and admiring malachi, harry speaks up, "he's got your lips and eye shape." "yea, he has your face shape and nose. i hope he has your curls and eyes," i say. "no he needs your eyes," he replies. i roll my eyes and laugh. "we need to give him a nickname," i say. "hm, what about... ky," harry suggest. "like k y," he adds. "i like it," i say. "ky it is."
