After Levi's mom left, he and I laid down in the hospital bed facing each other. Levi smiled at me as he twirled a strand of my hair around his finger. "Shall we go see James?" he asked.
I smiled a got out of the bed as fast as I could. "I'll take that as a yes," he said trying to hold back a laugh.
Together, hand in hand, we walked down the halls of the hospital to the natal unit. One of the natal nurses smiled at us when we entered the unit. We smiled back as we made our way to our baby.
Levi stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my middle and gently placed his chin on my shoulder. I smiled at our baby and my smile only grew when I saw him smiling up at us.
The nurse from earlier came over by us, "you two certainly have a fighter," she spoke.
"We sure do," Levi said smiling down at our son.
"I am happy to inform you that you will be able to take him home in a few weeks, as long as he keeps fighting as hard as he is."
Levi and I exchanged grins, that only grew when we looked down at our strong, little son.
I am not sure how long we stood there, but soon Levi received a text from Kenney telling him that he was outside to take Levi and I to our apartment. I sighed as we said goodbye to our son and grabbed our few belongings from the hospital room.
I hugged Kenney as soon as I saw him standing next to his car.
"Harley!" he yelled as I almost knocked him to the ground. "How are the proud parents?" he asked.
"We get to bring him home in two weeks!" I said, doing my best to not jump up and down, as it really didn't seem like the "mom" thing to do.
The three of us piled into Kenney's car and set out to my and Levi's brand new apartment.
Kenney dropped us off and before he drove away he called out, "Now remember, no more kids for a while you too!"
Levi and I both blushed and looked around and saw many of our new neighbors looking at us strangely. Levi shrugged and grabbed my hand, leading me to the apartment. I was shocked to see that all of our stuff was unpacked and organized in the perfect spots. "Levi," I said lost for words.
"Your mom and my parents have been unpacking and organizing the apartment so that we wouldn't have to do anything when we got home." he explained, putting his arm around me. "So do you want to grab a bite to eat, or can we please do what Kenney specifically suggested, in front of our neighbors, what we should not do." he said raising his eyebrow suggestively.
"What happened to what you said last night?" I asked, smirking at him.
"I changed my mind when I realized that for the first time in a very long time, we are completely alone and no one could possibly interrupt us."
"Well when you put it like that," I said giggling.
Levi scooped me up in his arms and ran us into the bedroom. Before I new it, Levi had me pinned to the bed and was kissing my lips with more force than he has ever used before. "Levi" I moaned.
"Sorry," he muttered, "you don't know how long I have been waiting for this." he said smirking.
"I'm not complaining," I said softly.
His lips soon returned to mine with more force, which I did not think was possible. My hands began to explore his body, as his lips began to travel down mine. I tugged at his shirt and he was quick to take it off, throwing it across the room. I ran my hand on his abs and up to his chest. He slipped my shirt off and soon clothing began to be thrown everywhere. Soon, we were left in nothing and things continued to get more and more heated.
For once, since the night we conceived James, no one had interrupted us. I sighed as I shifted slightly in Levi's arms. Just then a realization came through my mind, he didn't use protection...again.
"Levi!" I said shaking him.
"Harley, what is it?" he asked groggily.
"Levi, we forgot something!"
"What he asked?" finally sounding concerned.
I cleared my throat and motioned around the room.
"Oh" he said as he finally realized what I was talking about. "It could be worse." he stated.
"It could be worse, seriously Levi!" I said starting to freak out. "How could we be so irresponsible! We just had a baby, what if we have another one!? We have not even gotten a chance to bring our baby home, let alone take care of him properly and here we are possibly making another one!" I got up and started pacing around the room. I noticed Levi watching me, rather closely. Realizing that I was currently not exactly clothed, I quickly located Levi's shirt that had been discarded, slipping it on so that I was covered up. I heard Levi groan after doing so, "Seriously!"
"Harley, I am sorry, you are just so..."
"No, don't finish that sentence right now, I am not in the mood."
"Yes ma'am." he said. "Look, Hailey. No matter what, I will stand by you. In a few weeks we will go get a test and no matter the result, I will still be here and I will support you. I will make you my wife Hailey, you can count on that. I promise you that I will be the best husband and father that I can be."
"Really?" I asked looking over at him.
"Really, Harley. I want to be here for you and I promise to help you raise our son and any other children we might have."
"I love you Levi." I said going to lay down in the bed again. Levi wrapped his arms around me and held me against his chest as I fell asleep.
