Our Song

Chapter 24 - Winter Wedding

Thomas' P.O.V.
Robyn was only in the hospital for two days. Her and Parker were both doing great, and there hadn't been any complications with either of their health, seeing as Parker had been 5 weeks early. He was born on 20th November, which meant that he would be just over a month old when Robyn and I get married. I could tell that Robyn was glad she wasn't going to be pregnant for the wedding. She still had a little of her baby weight, but surprisingly, most of it had gone. She looked just like her normal self. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at my parents' house. Ava was there, along with Alex, and it was just like the Christmas we spent together back in University. To mark the birth of Parker, I bought Robyn a heart pendant on a chain. She absolutely loved it!

Seeing as our wedding is on New Year's Eve, we left my parents' house on Boxing Day and headed home to get ready. We were leaving for Devon in three days, and we had to pack everything we needed. Finally, the day came and yet again, I was the one loading up the car. Squeezing the very last bag into the boot, I slammed shut the boot and ran inside. It had just started to rain, and I was getting soaked. Shuffling my feet on the mat, I shut the door behind me, and leant against it.

"Robyn are you ready, love?" I called upstairs as I headed into the kitchen.

"Coming!" I heard her shout back in reply, before she came down the stairs with Parker in her arms, and Smudge at her heels.

"Look who it is! It's daddy!" She cooed softly, pointing at me and smiling.

"Hey there Parker!" I grinned, taking him in one arm. Robyn leant against my other side, and I wrapped my free arm around her shoulders. Taking my gaze off of Parker, I turned to look at Robyn. She looked really tired - after all, Parker had been waking us up a lot during the night, and she had to feed him every few hours. I couldn't even imagine doing all of the things she did.

"You okay?" I smiled, kissing the top of her head. She smiled softly, and closed her eyes.

"Yeah, just tired that's all!" She said quietly into my chest. Suddenly, Parker started to cry again. Moving her head, Robyn went to take him from me but I stopped her.

"Hey, you go and have a lie down okay? I'll take care of him while you get a rest. You need it!" I told her. She didn't argue, but instead kissed me on the lips and headed upstairs to our room. Smiling, I turned to Parker.

"What's the matter Parker? What's wrong?" I said softly, rocking him back and forth in my arms. I sat down on a kitchen chair, and placed him on my knee, bouncing him up and down a little. He stopped crying and looked at me with big eyes. They were bright blue and sparkled, just like Robyn's did. I grinned at him and took both his tiny hands in mine.

"You like that don't you!" I chuckled, bouncing him up and down again. He soon fell asleep, so I lifted him up carefully and went into the living room. Lying down on the sofa, I lay Parker on my chest. Closing my eyes, I listened to his breathing as I fell asleep. He was so peaceful when he wasn't crying.

As I woke up, I heard the pouring rain outside. It hit the windows like bullets, and echoed off of the walls. I looked down to see Parker still asleep on my chest, so careful not to wake him, I moved him over to the cot we kept in the living room and placed him down gently on the bed. I tickled him lightly under the chin and brought the blanket up to his chin. After making sure he was okay, I quietly walked upstairs to our room. It was now 7:00pm, and we needed to hit the road in the next hours so that we arrived at the house for about midnight. We'd planned to travel in the night time, because then we'd miss all the daytime traffic. Also, we hoped that the night would encourage Parker to sleep on the journey. Reaching the top of the stairs, I opened our bedroom door and slipped in quietly. Robyn was curled up under the duvet, her head buried in her arms. Bless her, she was exhausted. Smiling, I sat down beside her and stroked her hair as she slept.

"Robyn? Robyn, love we need to get going soon!" I said quietly. She mumbled something in her sleep, and her eyes fluttered open. She turned her head to look up at me and smiled.

"What time is it?" She mumbled, taking my hand from her hair and fiddling with my fingers.

"7:00pm. We need to get ready to go now!" I replied.

"Ohhh!" She moaned. Chuckling, I leant down and pressed my lips to hers. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer to her as we kissed. Playfully biting her lip slightly, I smiled in the kiss as she tangled her fingers in my hair. Pulling away from the kiss, I sat up and pulled her up with me.

"Come on Sleeping Beauty!" I laughed, helping Robyn off of the bed. In the next hour, we were in the car and setting off for Devon. Parker was asleep in in his car seat, and Robyn was in the passenger seat beside me. She pressed her head against the window and fell asleep almost instantly. I didn't mind the quiet though. The radio was quietly playing in the background anyway, so it wasn't like I was in complete silence. As I drove, my phone started ringing through the Bluetooth in the car. Cursing quietly, I quickly answered it. It was Dylan.

"Hey Thomas! How's it going?" He cheered through the speakers.

"Hey Dylan! Sorry mate but you're gonna have to keep it down okay? Robyn and Parker are asleep in the car and I don't want to wake them!"

"Oh okay, sorry!" He whispered down the phone, "So how's it going being a new dad? How's Robyn coping?" Smiling, I turned to look at her. She was sleeping peacefully, her hand still above my knee as I drove.

"I'm good, but I think Robyn is struggling a little. She's so tired!" I sighed.

"Yeah, aw bless her! She's an amazing girl and I know she's going to be a fantastic mum!" Dylan said down the phone, and I could tell he was grinning.

"Yeah, she really is!" I grinned, "So how's you and the guys?"

"Well, we're currently in the car now heading down to Devon. We'll probably get there the same time as you mate!"

"Aw brilliant! Okay well I'll call you later maybe?"

"Okey dokey mate! See ya soon!" Dylan chuckled down the phone.

5 hours later...

I pulled up in the driveway to the massive country house. There were lights on in some of the rooms downstairs, and there were a few cars in the driveway. That meant that Ki Hong, Will, Dylan, Kaya, Georgie and Charlie were here already. Grinning, I turned off the engine and looked at Robyn. She was still fast asleep and I didn't have the heart to wake her. So quietly, I quickly got out of the car, and called Dylan. Moments later, both him, Kaya and Will came out of the house. They were all glad to see us.

"Okay, Will and Dylan could you please grab the bags?" I asked, opening the boot, "Kaya if you could please take Parker, and I'll carry Robyn!"

"Aww he's adorable!" Kaya cooed over Parker, as she lifted his car seat out of the car, "Didn't you two do well?" Grinning, I opened up Robyn's door and lifted her out of the car. Carrying her bridal style, I walked towards the country house with the others behind me. I walked into the reception area and into the next room where everyone was sitting round a fire.

"Here they are!" Ki Hong said quietly, "Is Robyn asleep?"

"Yeah, she's so bloody tired!" I sighed.

"You look tired too mate!" Ki Hong grinned. I probably did look pretty awful!

"And here he is!" Kaya said softly, coming in with Parker, who was still miraculously asleep.

"Oh my God! He's so cute!" Everyone jumped up to look at him. Once they'd all said hello and seen the baby, we headed up towards mine and Robyn's room. Will and Dylan carefully placed our luggage on the floor, and Kaya picked Parker up and put him in the cot next to our bed.

"Well goodnight you two and we'll see you in the morning!" The three of them whispered, before heading back downstairs. I lay Robyn down on the bed and placed the duvet on top of her. Yawning, I quickly grabbed my pyjamas from my suitcase, and slipped them on. After checking on Parker, I got in bed next to Robyn and wrapped my arm round her waist. And I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
