I woke up to the hospital room. Sunshine burst through the windows. Ellen was in a small bed, next to me. Louis, was on the Couch, sleeping. I sat up and noticed that my stomach was deflated. Great. It's been 2 days. 

I carefully brushed my messy hair back and grabbed my phone. It was 3:56 pm.  

Small whimpers came from El, so I picked her up and held her. She opened her eyes. 

" Hey sleepy girl. " I whispered.  

Small murmurs peeped through her mouth as she blinked a few times. I noticed she had 2 dimples, just like me. 

She smiled a little. 

I couldn't help myself by taking pictures with her and sending them to Johanna. 

The nurse came in. 

" Oh good, your awake. " She said. She threw together a bottle for her ( Because the whole, mouth on my nipple thing, ain't gonna happen ) and gave it to me to feed her. 

" So, were going to have you out by 6:00 tonight. If you want. " she said. 

" I would like that. Thank you. " She left the room. Louis finally whipped his eyes and got up. 

" Hey. " he smiled. 

" Hey shower. " I made a nasty face to his appearance. 

" Yeah yeah. I know. " he waved his hand at me, and shut the bathroom door. 

" Well Miss Ellen, daddy is getting a shower. Let me get you into something cute. " I set her on her bed, and picked up my baby bag of stuff. After looking for something, out of all the choices, I chose a purple onesie that had a cat on it, black legging pants. 

" Aw. " I looked at her. I also managed to wrap a purple bow on her head too. 

Knock knock. 

" Come in. " I yelled. 

" Hi Elliot. " Louis mum walked in. Followed by his sisters. 

" Hi guys. " they approached me slowly. 

" Ellen, this is your nan and aunties. " I said to her. Johanna picked her up. 

" Oh my god, she's gorgeous. " she gasped at her. 

" She looks like Louis. " Lottie said.  

" She's just adorable! " Daisy touched her hands. 

" Isn't she? Louis clone. Lord, there's 2 of them now. " I laughed. 

" I think she looks like you. " Felicity stated. 

" Both. " Phebes added. Louis finally came out, in different clothes, with his hair damp. 

" Hello Mum. " He greeted her. 

He hugged his little sisters. 

" So I seen you've met Ellen. " he looked over at her.  

" She's so lovely . " Jay said. 

" Thank you. " we both said. 

They stayed for a little while. We talked and talked. 

I finally got dressed for release. Sweat pants, and a hoodie. 

" Alright, Miss Rae. Your all set to go. " The nurse came in. We grabbed our bags and Ellen. 

" Bye Sweetheart. " she said to her. 

" Bye. " we waved the her. Louis pressed the elevator button and we got on. 

" Get ready for weeks of no sleep! " My enthusiastic sarcastic voice let him laugh.

Finally at the car, We struggled really bad at getting a car seat inside. Embarrassing. 

I strapped Ellen in and shut the door. 

Getting in on the passengers side, I buckled my seatbelt. 

" Home. " Louis sighed. 

" Thank god. " I rolled my eyes.

" Here's your room, Ellie . " I walked into the colorful room. There was the picture of Little Mix on her crib, from Perrie. 

" Look, that's me, and daddy. " I brought her over the the framed picture on a shelf. 

I set her down in her crib, to get sleep. 

I turned the star dim lights on and shut the door. 

Louis was already throwing on pajamas in the bedroom. I walked in sighing. 

" Tired? " he asked. 

" Exhausted. " I slumped down on the bed. 

" Well, lets get some sleep. He opened the covers and three them over me and him. I turned the light off and got closer to him. 

My mind relaxed. 

Sleep.

* 1:34 am *

I woke up the cries of Ellen. I wiped my eyes and got up and walked across the hall to her room. 

" Hey. " I went and picked her up. She was sobbing. 

" Shhh. " I held her and sat in the rocking chair. 

She started to relax a little and so did I . As soon as she fell asleep again, I layed her back in her crib and shut the door, getting back into my bed.

* 3:56 am *

She was crying again. So Louis got up and went in. I watched him hold her and rub her small back. So sweet. 30 more minutes pasted. 

And then she stopped and was once again, asleep. So I closed my eyes and went to sleep again.

* 5:12 am *

" Hold on. " I sighed, tiredly. 

So I walked across to her room and picked her up. 

" Aww Ellie, why you crying? " I held her close.  

" It's okay. " I hushed her. I brought her over to our room, and set her down with me. 

I turned the light off and set her in the middle of me and Louis. 

" Finally. " I mumbled and closed my eyes.

-- 8:00 am --

I woke up to find Ellen sleeping soundly, right next to her dad. 

She woke up after I started moving. 

" Hey sleepy girl. Good morning. " I gasped at her. Her blue eyes furrowed into her arm. Louis woke up and looked down at her. 

" When did you get here? " He chuckled. 

" I just brought her in here last night. " I scooped her up and got up. 

" Let's go get you dressed. " I mumbled. Bringing her into her room, I set her on her changing table and looked in her draws. I got out a pink indie and polka dot pants, with a bow on her head.

So cute. 

" Let's go see Daddy. " My baby voice was coming back, picking her up, and wrapping her in the blanket Darbi made her.

Bringing her down stairs, Her eyes were wondering around.
