I watched Abbie sleep peacefully after a quick birth. Exhaustion was present all over her face. Our daughter was sound asleep in the bassinet after being latched on to Abbie and fed.
The ring on Abbie's finger sparkled in the lights. I hadn't been sure what sort of ring I wanted to gift Abbie, but I wanted it to be perfect.
I had gone through many jewellers and different types to find what I wanted. Each one wanted to make something huge and flashy that would no doubt rinse my bank account of all my money. Something in the back of my mind told me that she would prefer something simple but classy.
In the end, I went with a rose gold band with a round sapphire in the middle. Small white-gold diamonds laced around the sapphire. I would have never thought to of gone with that design but when the last jeweller suggested the type of ring, I went with it and was happy with the result.
Quiet babbles could be heard coming from the bassinet and I looked over to see our daughter awake and wiggling. I cautiously walked over to her, not wanting to scare her.
"Eva," Abbie says, snapping my attention away from our daughter.
I furrow my brow. "What?"
What did my mother's name have to do with anything?
Worry takes over her expression. "I want to call her Eva, after your mother."
Emotion clogs in my throat for the third time today and I stare back at our daughter.
Eva Langston.
"It's perfect."
"You can pick her up you know, Eva isn't breakable." Abbie goes to get out of bed.
"Don't get up, I don't want you to rip any stitches."
Abbie smirks at me and settles herself back into the hospital bed. "Place her in the crook of your arm, I'm sure she would love that."
I warily pick her up and place her in the crook of my arm. Her eyes open to reveal big blue irises. I became lost in them quickly.
"My little family." Abbie chokes up.
Abbie moved over the bed so I could fit in beside her. Her gaze immediately fixed onto Eva.
"Isn't it so amazing?"
"I can't believe that you carried her for nine months."
"I'm going to miss my baby bump I think. She got me through tough times."
"How would a baby bump get you through tough times? It's not like you can see the baby."
"It kept me going, knowing that I had something to live for. Someone that would need me at the end of the day."
A small cry leaves Eva and she starts to wriggle around again. "What does it mean?"
Abbie chuckles. "She's probably hungry."
I watch as Abbie pulls her hospital gown down to bare her breasts, my cock started to harden at the sight. In the last few weeks of pregnancy, I'd held off from having sex with Abbie, worried that I would damage something.
"Give her here." She reaches for Eva and brings her over to her boob. Eva latches on immediately and makes a sound of happiness.
"Is it bad that I am jealous of a baby?" I groan, wiping my hands down my face.
Abbie bursts into fits of laughter. At least one of us found this funny.
...
After three nights in the hospital and a further four sleepless nights at home, Abbie had convinced me to go to the club. Apparently showing all my brothers the new baby was very important.
