Love doesn't have to be hard

Chapter 27: Welcome to the World Part 2

We sat bonding with our son. While the nurses and doctor finished cleaning up. Dr. Klein sewed Tessa up. She needed six stitches.

She was in love with our son. She hadn't taken her eyes off of him since the nurse handed him to her. I snapped some pictures of her holding him. Some of the three of us. Even one of the nurses took a picture of us. 

I was so happy, happier than I ever knew was possible. We have a son, a beautiful little tiny human. 

Zed stood there and watched Tessa. She cooed at the baby, and he was sleeping away. He loved to see this side of her; it was a new side.

After what I just witnessed, I will never see that part of her besides being miraculous. She literally just pushed our son out of the same place that is always so tight and wet for me. Yet, he came out from there. 

Six weeks before we can make love again. When we do, I am going to show her just how much I love her. I don't care if it's not as tight before he was born. I just want to please her after I watched her go through that. 

She will be in pain for the next week. Peeing and doing the other will be painful. I feel so horrible even thinking about her having to deal with pain after he is here. As I watched her breathe and push so hard, her face was red. 

The love I have for her is even more. I have a newfound respect for her and for all women now. Maybe we should have let Hardin watch her give birth. Then, maybe he would respect women more.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I was just thinking about what you just went through. Watching our son come from the same place, you pleasure me and I you. Then, how much respect I have and how much I admire you after watching that. How the love I have for you is even more after watching that. That I now have a new respect for women. Then maybe we should have let Hardin watch that so he would respect women more. Then I thought, hell no, I don't want Hardin looking at my wife as she gives birth."

Tessa laughed, "Um, yeah, I don't think I would want him to see that. I didn't really want you to see that. Now, you may never touch me again. It was beautiful but also gross."

"Oh, baby. Don't even think like that. Six weeks, and I am going to show you just how amazing you are to me and how much I love you. Of course, while he is sleeping. I will be making his mommy scream my name over and over."

"Zed, you are silly. Right now, that is the last thing on my mind because I am hurting. So, thankful for the ice the nurse put down there because it's numb."

"Yeah, but trust me, in two or three weeks, you are going to be wanting me. Yet we have to wait for six weeks. However, once you are healed, my tongue can still please you."

"I know, and my hormones are going to be going wild. Do you want to go get my mom and your parents to let them meet our son?"

"Yeah, what about Kim and Hardin?"

"They can come back when they are done. So just tell them when they come back out, they can come back and meet him."

"Okay." He kissed her and walked out to the waiting room. "Our son Liam Andrew Evans was born at 5:10 this morning. He weighed seven pounds and six ounces, and he was twenty-one inches long. Mom, Dad, and Carol come and meet your grandson. Hardin and Kim, when they come back, you two can meet him. Thank you all for being here with us. It really means a lot." 

He walked them back to her room. She was still lying in bed holding him. They washed their hands, and Carol picked him up from her arms.

She smiled at him, "He is perfect, Tess and Zed. He really is. He looks like you, Zed. Hey, there, little man. I am your grandma. You are very handsome, yes you are. I'm going to let your other grandma hold you now." She turned around and handed her to Emily.
