Merry Christmas you guys!! 🎄🎅🏽❤️ I hope everyone had a wonderful day!
I had hoped to have the story finished by christmas but I haven't quite managed it I'm sorry! Still got a few chapters left to write so hopefully it won't be long!

"Omg Robert he's covered in blood not pee!" Andy sprang out of bed to her son.

"Omg, I couldn't see in the dark. It's coming from his nose. He's never had a nosebleed before, right?" Robert was panicking.

"No he hasn't, here, you hold him and I'll take his onesie off." Andy quickly stripped him but he was wriggling and crying and trying to get to his Mum. "Okay Baby, ok you're ok. Here, come to Mummy. Let me see."

Grayson was just in his diaper which in of itself was too, pretty red. His face was covered in blood where he must have been rubbing it with his hands. Andy took him in to the en-suite and sat on the closed toilet. Robert got a few of the flannels and ran them under warm water. While Andy was gently wiping his blood off he quickly went to double check that Enzo was ok and to strip Grayson's cot so it wouldn't stain. Thankfully, Enzo was fine and Robert stripped the bed quickly, putting the sheet in the bathtub for the time being.

"Robert, can you get me a diaper and new pj's please?"

"Coming right up."

Andy had turned the shower on to act as a white noise whilst she tried to stop the bleeding by pinching his nose. She couldn't comfort him with milk because he wouldn't be able to breathe so this was her best idea. It wasn't working too well so she began to sing to him to try and keep him calm. She had cleaned most of the blood from his body and face but thought she'd leave his hair until she could bathe him, something she couldn't do right now because it would have restarted the bleeding. He was getting fussy again because he wanted Andy's milk, but he couldn't feed and breathe at the same time. It was upsetting Andy that he was getting so upset so she called Robert back in to take him.

"Is Enzo ok?"

"Yeah he's fine."

"He can smell me, you're going to have to try and get him to sleep because he can't feed right now. It's stopped bleeding but he's all clogged up. I'm going to make some tea. Keep him in bed with us, I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay Babe. Try not to worry, he's ok. It looked a lot worse than it was. He's fine."

Tearfully, Andy replied "I know," and left to go downstairs.

15 minutes later, all Andy could hear was Grayson crying. He clearly wasn't settling and if he kept going he was just going to re start his nose bleed. Andy took the tea upstairs and climbed in to bed. Grayson saw her enter and started screaming even more.

"Buddy, come on, Mummy can't feed you, you can't breathe through your little nose. Shhh, Shhh." Robert was trying so hard to rock him and soothe him but it just wasn't doing anything to help him go to sleep.

Andy climbed in to bed next to Robert. "Pass him here my love." Andy gestured for him. Grayson tried to snuggle in as close as possible to his Mum. "Hi handsome pants, shh what's all this fuss. Are you scared? Does it hurt? What do you want? How can Mummy help?"

All he was doing was pulling at her pyjama top and trying to get to her boob. "You can try sweet boy, but you're going to struggle and get more annoyed."

Grayson wriggled and wriggled, trying to latch on and still breathe and it was getting him more and more frustrated.

"Okay Sweetpea, okay. Nope this is not helping. Come here, come here." Andy scooched  down so she was lying on her side, she nestled his head in the crook of her arm and pulled him in close. "Mummy is here, you're ok. You're safe Baby." She had one hand keeping him tucked close and one hand stroking his forehead down to the top of his nose, softly, trying to get him to close his eyes.
