New Beginnings In The Tunnel Of Life

Our Heaven

*********SAGE********

Watching my dad hold Micah, was the most precious thing I could have imagined. I look up at Teresa so thankful for her care.

Teresa smiles, "Honey, I got you a present."

"Awe, mom you didn't have to do that for me."

Teresa nods and hands me a blue bag with a blue ribbon, "Well we felt like you deserved this after everything you have been through."

Pulling out the blue tissue paper on top of a blue blanket is a small box, opening it and I find a necklace with Micah's birthstone with Ash's and mine beside it. Tears threaten to fall again and I look up at Teresa, "Thank you so much. This means so much to me."

Ash smiles rubbing my back, "We have a surprise for you guys as well, open his blanket and read his onesie."

Teresa walks over to my dad as they open the blanket and read his onesie. Teresa gasps, "Oh my god, you guys! Congratulations!"

Leaning into Ash's arm's feeling the happiness, "Thank you guys."

Teresa and my dad adore Micah, and Teresa take's pictures of all of us together. I ask them to wait to post anything until I post it on facebook. Ash show's Teresa and dad out of the hospital, and Summer comes back in just as I am about to feed again.

Summer sits next to me as Micah feeds, "How are you feeling?"

I brush my finger over Micah's cheek, "Ready for some more pain medicine. Thank you for being here, Zach and Malachi are welcome to come in."

Summer nods, "I will let your nurse know about your pain. Zach went to go change Malachi and then they will be in."

Looking at Micahs cute little nose, "Him and Malachi are going to be future best friend's."

Summer nods as she picks up the room for me, "They most definitely will be. I think Malachi can already sense his mom was holding another baby."

A giggle comes out of me, "I bet he could. Babies do have that baby smell."

Once Micah is done feeding, Zach and Malachi come into the room. Ash takes a quiet crying Micah from my arms to change him, allowing me to just rest.

Zach holds up Malachi to look at Micah, "That's Micah, he's going to be your best friend bud. Wow, he sure doesn't cry as loud as you did."

Ash chuckles, "He cries quietly like his mom did, and barely cries at that."

Malachi claps his hand, "Baby."

Summer gasps, "Yes love, that's a baby."

Summer and Zach point out the baby to Malachi, and adore his face as he takes it in. Adoring their faces, and I can tell this moment is giving Summer baby fever. Zach notices it and gives her a kiss on the cheek, handing Malachi to her.

Ash picks up Micah, handing him over to Zach. The minute Micah hits Zach's arms he falls asleep, and then toots.

Zach rocks him, "Well, that's a hello to you too buddy."

Ash comes back over sitting next to me, and I yawn, laying my head on his arm. Summer and Zach sit on the couch with Malachi and Micah in Zachs arms.

Ash crawls into the bed with me and I lay my head against him and the next thing I know, I fall asleep.

The two hour nap was just exactly what I needed before I woke to Micah crying for me and wanting to be fed. As if on the dot, he knew he was hungry.

Summer hands me Micah and put's a cover over me as I breastfeed him.
