I'm 9 months now and Sawyer has just turned 3 months. I yawn and have a shower. I pull on a dress and a kimono. I pull on white vans and leave my hair natural. I go downstairs and notice the kids aren't here. "Jadon came, he said  he'd take the kids along with Parker to the zoo with Marcus Rashford, in case your water burst" said Alec. I nod and smile. "He didn't have too but I'm happy we're alone for now" I said. "Same here, babe" said Alec. He kisses me and goes to make pancakes for me. 

Afterwards, we sit on the sofa until I feel pain. I sit forward and gasp. I stand up and feel water gushing down my legs. "My waters burst" I said. "OK, lets go" said Alec. We get in the car and drive to the hospital and check in. We head to the room and I put on the gown. I lay on the bed with the strap that monitors my contractions.

Alec holds my hand. "Our son is nearly here" said Alec. "He is, I'm excited" I said. "I hope he looks like you" said Alec. "Oh really, but I want him to look like you" I said, smiling up at him. He smiles and kisses me. 

As the day goes on, I get closer to being able to push the baby out of me. When the time arrive, I push until I hear the screams of a wailing baby. I smile and Alec cuts the cord. "Theodore Nick McGarry, our little Teddy" I said, smiling down at him. He opens his eyes and waves his arms about. 

"He has brown eyes" I said. "And his hair is brown" said Alec. "He looks like you" I said, smiling. I breastfeed him and burp him before handing him  to Alec. Alec smiles and rubs his cheek with his finger. "Your so handsome, my boy" said Alec. I laugh and smile. "Your adorable" I said. "Thank you, babe" said Alec. I look at Teddy. "I can't believe we made this" I said, smiling. "Same here" said Alec. He kisses me. "I love you, Gracie" said Alec. "I love you more" I said. We put him in his baby grow and I go have a shower. 

The rest of the day is uneventful, feed Teddy, change Teddy's nappy, burp him etc. We fall asleep at 10.

NEXT DAY

We just got checked over by a doctor and we're discharged.

I pull on joggers, a matching hoodie and runners. I pull my hair into a bun and get Teddy ready in a green baby grow and hat. I slide his baby gloves on and place him in his car seat. Alec grabs the car seat and my bag.

We walk to our car and get him situated. I sit in the back with him and smile. Alec places the bag beside me and gets in the front seat. He drives us home and once we get there, I grab my bag and he grabs Teddy. I smile and rub Teddy's cheeks. "We made a handsome baby" I said. "Yes, we did" said Alec. I smile and Freya comes over with Daniel. "Teddy" said Freya. "Yeah, his home" I said, sitting down to hug them. "Dad said he'll visit tomorrow with Parker. As did Ryan, he has Sawyer tomorrow" said Daniel. "OK, bud" I said, smiling at him. 

I feed Teddy while Alec makes dinner. "Mom, I was wondering if we share rooms?" asked Daniel. "You and Teddy, well bud you may want to wait to his older" I said. "OK" said Daniel. We have our homemade dinner and afterwards watch a movie. The kids go to bed at 8 and we rest on our bed. I yawn and feed and change Teddy before he goes to bed. We fall asleep immeditately after. 

UPDATED! Theodore Nick McGarry is born!

I hope you enjoyed!
