James the baby and I got home from the hospital three days later. We walked in the front door, James had the carrier in his arms and I had the baby in mine. "James, I think he's tired, do you wanna go put him down for a nap with me?"
"Of course. What else would I do?" James says as he sets the car seat down in the foyer and holds me close to him as we walk into the nursery.
He sits in the rocking chair by the bed and pulls me into his lap. "Are you sleepy too princess?" He asks me as he kisses my neck.
"Yea. But I wanna get him down first. Then we can take a nap too." I look up at my husband and give him a soft kiss. He's perfect.
And I look down at our baby boy, and I place a soft kiss on his forehead. He's perfect. Just like his daddy. He starts fussing and I know he's hungry.
I take off my too and feed him as James rocks the chair with us in it. Soon enough he falls asleep and I lay him in his crib.
James and I stand in-front of his crib watching him sleep for a few minutes holding each other tightly. "Our baby boy." I whisper. "Our baby Bailey."
We decided to name our son Bailey Ronin Barnes. He was nothing short of perfect and James and I were completely in love with our baby boy.
"We should go lay down." I say. But we stand there, watching our baby boy. For several minutes more. "We're not moving and we?" He asks.
"Mmm Mm." I reply shaking my head. He lets go of me and walks over to the rocking chair and pulls it closer to the crib and he sits down again.
He pulls me back into his lap and he rocks us together as we watch our baby boy sleep. "We're crazy." I mumble.
"How is that?" He asks and kisses my head. "We could be asleep right now, because god knows this perfect baby boy will be up all night, and so will we, but, we're up, just watching him sleep."
James doesn't answer for a moment, he takes a deep breath and kissed my temple. "I'm afraid that if I close my eyes he'll disappear." James says.
"Me too." I admit. "He's too perfect to be my baby." James laughs and Bailey stirs in his crib and makes a cute little yawning noise.
"No he's not. He's perfect because he's your baby." I turn around and kiss him. "He's our baby." James says and kisses me again.
"I love you." James whispers and kisses me again. "I love you too baby." I whisper back and kiss him. "We're having so many more babies." James says.
"Two more. At the most."
