Knowing that his mate was still sore and feeling a bit out of it, Carlisle carried Harry up the stairs to their bedroom where he placed him on the bed. "Just give me a minute to get the bath ready. Do you mind if I join you?"
Harry gave his dominant a loving smile. "Of course I don't mind, but no funny business. My aches and pains have aches and pains of their own."
"You just had a baby," Carlisle chuckled. "It will be a while before we have any funny business again."
With unfocused eyes, Harry watched as his mate disappeared into the bathroom. He still couldn't believe that this was real, that he actually had a baby yesterday. Talk about a shock! Even though he had sat for hours studying every inch of his baby daughter, he still couldn't wrap his head around it.
Miracle was so beautiful and perfect, it was hard to believe that he helped make her. He would deny that she was his, if she hadn't came from his body and if she didn't look exactly like him.
Carlisle was surprised when he walked back into the room and found his mate with tears streaming down his face. "Harry, is everything alright?" He asked, rushing to his side. "Is there something wrong?"
Through a curtain of tears, Harry smiled up at Carlisle. "Would you believe me if I said nothing is wrong?" he sobbed. "I'm just so incredibly happy. I mean, this time yesterday Miracle wasn't even a thought, and now here she is."
Carlisle sat down on the bed beside his sobbing mate and pulled him into his arms. Harry had been through so much the past twenty four hours and his hormones were all over the place. "I'm so proud of you, Harry. Giving birth is terrifying for most woman, and you did it without even knowing you were pregnant."
Still sobbing, Harry started laughing. "Seth and I thought she was a parasite. I guess in a way she is."
"She does explain why you have been draining me dry every day." Carlisle chuckled.
"In more ways than one." Harry said cheekily.
"Hmmm, I'm going to miss your insatiable sexual appetite."
With tears still steadily falling, Harry rested his head on Carlisle's shoulder. "Don't worry about that, I am an eternal horny teenager after all."
Carlisle just sat quietly and held Harry until he cried himself out. He knew that this wouldn't be the last time Harry broke down, not after the shock he suffered. Harry was also still so young, just seventeen years old. If he had known that Miracle was possible he would have taken precautions. It wasn't that he didn't want her, he desperately wanted her, but he would have waited until Harry was older. Harry had been on a nonstop roller coaster ride the past few years and he would have liked for him to have had more years healing before having a baby.
Sniffling and rubbing at his sloppy face, Harry sat up. "We better get in the tub before the water gets cold. I'm also sure everyone is impatiently waiting to see the memory of Miracle's birth."
"You don't have to show them if you don't want to." Carlisle reassured, knowing that it was a traumatic moment for his mate...not to mention private.
"Nah, its good. It may be embarrassing for me to watch, but I love and trust everyone here."
Getting back to his feet, Carlisle gently scooped his mate up. "If at anytime you want to stop, just say the word. Everyone will understand if it's too hard for you to watch."
"As long as I can pry Miracle out of Rose's hands and have her to snuggle with while watching I'll be fine."

Harry had just gotten settled on the couch with his daughter when he heard a commotion coming from outside. Looking around, he noticed that Carlisle was standing tense in front of him with Jasper at his side. Emmett and Edward had taken off out of the house.
