The Ultimate Gentleman (Part 2)

Forty Three

"Ok.. rest Holly." Susan said from down the end of the bed. Johnny wiped his wife's brow, she slowly laid down on the bed with her eyes closed attempting to catch her breath. "Well done.. breathe easy.." Susan said before looking at the monitor. "On the next contraction I need a push.." she added making Holly nod. The mother knew the feeling, this wasn't her first time, and could feel what she needed to do. "I love you so much my sweet..." Johnny said kissing her forehead. "You're my Angel. My lifeline." Holly smiled sweetly, holding Johnny's hand closer to her face she kissed the back of it. "I love you too. I'm sorry my body failed us." "Failed us?' How can you say that??! It's carried two of our beautiful cherubs and is about to deliver our third... you've far from failed my love." "Holly... push." Susan said sternly as the mother felt a sharp pain again. "Keep going.... There we go the head is in position..." Johnny's eyes widened.

"So what are we hoping for? Still that son?" Susan said hoping to distract the couple before the next contraction. "Another beautiful healthy baby" Johnny smiled to the midwife. "We would love a boy but I have a feeling it's another girl..." Holly gritted through the pain. "Well not long to go.... Push again Holly!" Susan said happily. Johnny squeezed his wife's hand once more as she fought through another painful contraction.

After a few more intense contractions, the room was silenced by an ear piercing cry. "Ahh there we are..." Susan lifted the baby into her arms and ran checks briefly before placing the baby on Holly's chest. "You have your son." She said extremely proudly with a wide smile. "A boy?" Johnny questioned completely dazed. "Are you sure???" He said excitedly. "Yes Mr Depp. I am experienced in enough to know the difference." She said giggling before Holly gushed. "Thank you so much... he's beautiful" tears rushed down the mother's face before Johnny gently embraced her, kissing her passionately and then tenderly kissing his newborn son's head. "Hey little guy... I'm your Daddy." He said in whisper that melted Holly's heart.

"Ok Mrs Depp.. we advise with your blood pressure still a little low, not to be alone, but if you want one of us to help you shower, or your husband..." the nurse trailed off as the three Depp's were moved into a private room. "I can help her." Johnny said with a smile stood by the window as Holly's bed was pushed into place. He knew how prudish his wife was. "Ok, well use the call button if you need anything. The paediatrician will be along shortly but everything seems fine with little man." The nurse said with a smile closing the door. Holly smiled at the sight of Johnny slowly walking towards the bed, their baby boy in his arms. "He's rather handsome." Johnny said proudly, as he sat down on the edge of Holly's bed. "Just like his father then. Jack is going to be so pleased." Johnny smiled softly. "Shall we get you cleaned up and comfortable and then we can call them whilst they are having breakfast?" Holly gushed. "I like that idea. Hopefully they let us home soon." "I hope they do too but let's not rush these things ok.." Holly nodded before attempting to get out the bed. "Darling! No rushing!" "Johnny I'm hardly rushing!! I'm going to shower." Her husband pouted before manoeuvring the baby into his side and arm before offering his other arm to his wife. They slowly made their way over to a large arm chair where Holly's and the baby's bag had been placed and the woman got what she needed from them before moving into the en suite. "Johnny, you can come in, only because they don't want me to be alone but you're not looking." "Hols.." Johnny said sternly. "I mean it." She said quietly. "Fine.." her husband said opening the en suite door and following his wife in. He lent against the closed door watching as she prepped the shower, and did what she needed to do. He received a sharp look and he reluctantly turned around and looked down at his baby. "Hey little guy... one day you'll understand, women are so hard to figure out. Your Mama here has just delivered you and given me the greatest gift and now I can't even watch her shower. She's the most beautiful creature, and this is how we end up in this situation, but that's another story for another day. Firstly we need to worry about naming you don't we?" Holly giggled at the father and son chat, as she climbed into the shower enjoying the refreshing water. "We don't have any names do we?!!" "Well no, I chose Pippa, it's your turn." Holly stopped in her tracks and looked straight at the back of her husband's head. "Really?!" "Yes whatever you choose will be perfect."
