Callie's POV
"Hey mummy when we take the baby home can I play with her?" Sammy asks coming closer to me on the bed.
"Well, You may not be able to play with her properly but you can hold her and give her cuddles. She's a bit too little to play at the moment though buddy" I explain. I thought he already had that in his head but I guess I'd rather be reminding him now then telling him later after he's already done something too rough with her.
"Is there a new big brother in this room?" We hear from the door way and turn our attention to the nurse walking in while rolling lyric in front of her. I look at sammy and his face is priceless. Brandon is behind the nurse videoing this to get Sammy's reaction.
"Mama mama look. There she is!" He whisper shouts to me tapping my arm with excitement.
"I know baby. Do you want to hold her?" I ask him and he nods faster then Ever before.
"Alright come sit back here" I say and he sits next to me putting his arms in the correct position getting ready before the nurse gently lifts lyric up making sammy gasp and me smile ear to ear. She places her softly in is arms while I help him support her head. "Do you love her?" I ask him.
"Mama I love her so much. She so cute. I'm going to protect her and be her bestest friend ever" he explains. I hear Brandon laugh and look up to smile at him.
"Your a very good big brother already" Brandon tells sammy.
"Thanks daddy. Can I know her name now?" He asks curiously
"Yep. Your little sisters name is lyric" I tell him.
"Will she like music then?" He asks making me giggle.
"Well I hope so cause we all do but I'm sure we can love her even if she's not a big music person right?"
"Yep. She's my sister that's all that matter" he answers. God I have the sweetest little boy in the world.
He holds lyric for a little longer before she starts to cry which upsets him so I take her while Brandon comforts him. He did pretty good for the first time having to share me. I remember when sammy was little anyone who had a baby or little kid if I were to hold them he would absolutely flip out because he didn't want to share me. I think having Brando here has definitely helped that.
"Aww little girl are you hungry" I say as she starts to whimper. I start feeding her which fascinated sammy to the max. We decided that I would breastfeed cause that's what everyone recommends. I tried it with sammy but he never really took to it so I'm glad she seems to be able to.
"What are you doing mama?" Sammy asks getting off Brandon lap and walking closer to the bed with a thoroughly confused look on his face.
"I'm feeding lyric baby. She gets milk from me until she's able to eat big people food like you" I explain.
"Why doesn't she just have a bottle like other babies?"
"Sometimes babies can't eat from their mummies or their mummies choose to feed them with a bottle but me and daddy decided to feed lyric this way"
"Did I eat from you or a bottle?" He asks
"You had a bottle cause you liked that better" I answer and then he looks kind of sad walking back over and up onto Brandon's lap. I give Brandon that concerned look and he knows what to do.
"What's up buddy?" I hear him asks.
"Does that mean that lyric is a better baby then I was?"
"No buddy. That just means that you two might not like the same foods or may not do things that same. But that definitely doesn't mean that either one of you is better then the other. We love you both the same. You can't both be the same can you?"
Sammy smiles laying his head on Brandon's shoulder "nah. I guess not daddy. I know mummy loves me too" he responds and then I see his little eyes close. He must be tired after this day. I know I am.
#####
When I wake up the next morning there's no Brandon, no sammy, no lyric and I'm a little confused. Then a nurse walks in with a walk smile making me feel I guess a little less worried.
"Your husband took your little boy home after you fell asleep last night and said to tell you he'd be returning at around 7 and its...." She looks at her little nurses watch "10 to" she finishes.
"Thank you. Um are you able to bring my baby in?" I ask unsure as to if she's not meant to be in my room or something.
"Of course. I'll go get her for you" she replies before quickly exiting the room.
Not long after Brandon walks in but with no sammy and the nurse following him with lyric.
"Hey beautiful" he says leaning down giving me a short but sweet kiss on the lips.
"Hey. Where's sammy?" I ask.
"Oh he was still tired so Mariana is at the house watching him until we go home. Did they mention when you were able to be released?"
"I only just woke up but it should be sometime today. At least I hope"
"I'm sure we will be able to get you home with your family by at least lunch time" the nurse interrupts obviously having overheard our conversation.
"Thank you so much" I say before turning my attention to our baby girl next to us in the crib.
"I'll be back to check on you later. But she is due for a feed" she informs me before leaving.
Brandon lifts lyric out and into my arms where I begin to feed her.
"I can't wait till she's at home and everything is just together" I tell Brandon putting my head back on my pillow sighing.
"I know exactly what you mean. God I already miss you next to me at night" he replies making me smile.
"I just hope the novelty of a little sister doesn't wear off for sammy and he ends up having jealousy issue" I tell Brandon with a worried tone to my voice.
"I'm sure he'll be ok. He hasn't had any worries before with jealousy"
"Yeah but he used to" I say reliving those situations in my head. I never told Brandon about his jealousy problems in the past cause he's never had any here.
"What do you mean. He used to?"
"Oh just with sharing me. It used to be a big deal breaker for sammy. As long as he had to share me with someone. He would immediately not want anything to do with that person. He hasn't had any problems since you being in his life. But I guess he hasn't really had anyone to be jealous of and I don't particularly think sammy realises how much of our attention will be on lyric. We're gonna have to really watch that B" I explain.
"I'm sure he'll be fine cal"
"I hope so" I answer before he gives me a kiss on the forehead along with a reassuring smile.
