Never Change

Chapter 19

A/N: I might do an epilogue to round it off at chapter 20 but this does seem rather final, we'll see, I'll leave it open. Hope you enjoy :)

Her eyes glanced over to the newborn swaddled up in a soft muslin cloth, she was tiny but she was early. The baby was given a clean bill of health but it didn't stop Jac's concerns because she was a week or so before full term but the midwives and doctors assured her that it was fine and that the baby was fine. They had settled into the hospital room around midnight and Jac was exhausted from her extensive labour that the midwives helped Kian with the baby such as getting her dressed and making sure she was changed regularly whilst Jac took some time out to recover from the birth. She looked up as an exhausted Kian entered the room, he gently sat down on the chair beside her and passed her one of those watered-down coffees from a vending machine as Pulses wasn't open.

"Thanks" she takes the coffee gratefully before yawning, Kian leans over to kiss her softly on the lips "Has she been fed?"

"Yeah they've been bottle feeding her so we didn't have to wake you in case you wanted to feed her yourself"

"I'm not really into that yummy mummy type thing" she scrunches her nose up and Kian nods slowly "I might try it"

"You might surprise yourself" he puts it to her and she nods reaching over to take the baby "She also needs a name"

"We should call her the name of your car as she was born there" she smirks and he rolls his eyes "I don't know Kian, I mean..."

"We have time to think of a name" he assures her and she nods slowly rocking the baby gently "Do you need a midwife to help you-"

"I can feed my own child" she cuts in and Kian nods knowing it was probably better to let her go at it alone, he watches as she adjusts the baby in her arms

"Here" Kian smiles supporting his daughters head whilst Jac holds the rest of her body, she tilts her head to the side and hums gently "Looks like you have the knack-"

"I'm her mother" Jac deadpans and Kian nods slowly grinning at them both "I might just bottle feed her after a couple of weeks"

"You can do whatever you want" Kian assures her and Jac nods with a small smile until there was a knock at the door "I have the nursing cover if you want it?"

"Yeah" she nods taking it off him and putting it around herself, Kian opens the door to the almost goofy expression of Sacha "Hi Sacha"

"Hello" he smiles and she smiles back before adjusting her daughter and holding her against her chest to wind her "Oh Jac..."

"Hmm she was given a clean bill of health by the doctors so I can go home with her in a few days" Jac responds and Sacha nods slowly "We need to think of a name"

"We have no clue so suggestions would be grateful" Kian confirms and Sacha sits on the edge of the bed looking at the baby "How's Emma?"

"Yeah, she's good, excited about her little sister. I think she finally feels as if she can express it"

"Good we were worried that it would be difficult for her" Jac nods and Sacha reaches out to place his finger in the baby's hand "That's your uncle Sacha"

"I can't believe she came early" Sacha shakes his head in disbelief and Jac nods with a small smile "And you gave birth to her without any medical assistance in the form of a midwife"

"And in my lovely car" Kian mutters and Jac just grins up at him "Any name suggestions whilst you're here Sacha, we're stumped?"

"Something simple" he hums and Kian nods slowly peering over to look at his daughter who was curled up on her mother's chest "Elodie?"
