Chasing Champions

Coming home and Confirming

Layla POV:

I don't know how much time has past since Jett brought me to the hospital, and even that trip was fuzzy and blurred. I blink a few times for my eyes to clear as I groggily look around the room I was in. I see Jett curled up in a chair holding my hand gently but firmly in his sleep. His other hand was in a bassinet which made my eyes widen as I finally noticed that everything below my waist was somewhat numb and there wasn't hardly any pressure in my stomach. I wanted to see my baby, I needed to see my baby. I could feel panic and fear start to fill me as I try and sit up only to feel a sharp pain. I guess my movement woke Jett up because he was suddenly there helping me lay back down. He kisses my temple and whispers,

"Thank god your ok, your both ok. You probably won't be sitting up for a few more hours here. You had to have a C-section sweetie, and um, a hysterectomy."

I blink as I try and get my foggy brain to comprehend what he was say but when it did it stuttered to a halt. I swallow and say,

"We can talk about that later, is our daughter ok? Can I please see her, I really need to see her."

He smiles and gently reaches over and picks up a tiny bundle of blankets and carefully lays her in my arms. I look down and see soft blonde hair and a tan face that was relaxed. I shakily reach up and trace her features lightly as I take in how utterly perfect she was. I couldn't keep the smile off my face even if I wanted to. She was absolutely perfect in every way, shape, and form. I felt a tear slide down the side of my face as I look up at Jett with a soft smile and whisper,

"She's so tiny and perfect, how the hell did we make her?"

He grins with watery eyes and whispers,

"Because she has the most amazing and beautiful woman in the world as her mother. And I really hope she takes after you because that would be amazing."

I smile as I kiss him softly before I look back down and see my little girl open her eyes and I see she has my blue eyes. I smile and quietly say,

"Hey there Finley, I'm your mommy. And soon you'll get to meet your big brother Rhys!"

I lean down and kiss her all over her face as she starts smiling and giggling making my heart warm. I snuggle her up into my chest as I coo at her, and I couldn't get over how bloody gorgeous she already was. Jett and I just kept looking as her in awe and softly touching and holding her in disbelief that we had made her. My doctors come and check both of us out and everything was completely fine, and I could even leave maybe tomorrow which I was happy about. After a few hours I wake up to a knock on the door and see it open only for Sarah with a nervous looking Rhys in her arms. I smile as I slowly push myself up and wake up Jett and say,

"There's my baby boy! Why you looking like something is going to jump out at you sweetie?"

Sarah looks down at him with a soft smile as Rhys whispers,

"I don't wanna huwt baby or mama."

My heart melts slightly as I smile as raise my arms up and make grabby hands at him getting a giggle out of him. Sarah gently hands him over to me as she smiles and mouths 'I'm glad everything is ok' and I just mouth back 'thanks, so am I'. Rhys curls into my side as I look down into his eyes and say,

"You want to meet your little sister?"

He blinks before nodding as he sits up so I could have my arms. Jett hands me Finley and I cradle her to my chest as I whisper,

"Now sweetie she is asleep so be quiet and gentle ok?"

He nods as he comes a bit closer and peers into the blankets and his eyes grow big. He sticks his small hands in his pockets looking very much like his daddy as he whispers,
