Beside You | Jemi

Fifty One

Demi smiled as Elliot was laid in her arms, he was sleeping but he looked a lot better than what he did

when he had to be taken away. His little chest had settled rising up and down everytime he took his own breath in and his mouth didn't look as swollen but he did have a slight rash still and a plaster over his arm where they had injected him to calm the allergy down. Demi admired him as he flexed his fingers in his sleep, she was more than relieved that he was asleep and well.

"You'll have to breast feed him as much as you can, there is a formula you can buy which we used to feed him but it's expensive. We'll see if he can latch on during his next feed." Demi nodded her head gently kissing the boy's head.

"Thanks, do you know where Joe is?"

"He fell asleep in the relatives room, your families have met the girls and now they are back in the nursery but you're welcome to keep him with you." She answered.

"Actually can you take him back and put him with his sisters? They've been separated enough." Miranda nodded her head gently taking the boy back in her arms.

"I'll bring them back through when they want feeding, I'll get you something to eat as well." Demi thanked her watching her as she left with her sleeping son. Everything would be okay and she was relieved. She knew sometimes parents of triplets didn't always come home with all three babies but she would one day have all her babies home.

"That's my man." Joe cooed as Demi smiled up at Joe telling him that he had latched onto her nipple and now feeding from her. Demi's eyes moved back down to her son who was flexing his fingers as he fed Demi beginning to caress his cheek. She found it hard to love someone as much as she loved her three babies and they were all less than a day old.

"You and Emily would have had to spend a fortune on the formula that he can drink wouldn't you." Joe nodded his head in agreement.

"Are you going to feed Elliot by himself then Evie and Elsie together?"

"I think that will be the best way unless I pump some bottles then you can feed the girls while I feed Elliot, I want to try and avoid him using a bottle in case we have used formula in it for the girls." Demi answered, they would try and use Demi's breast milk as much as they could but they had formula in just in case something went wrong.

"And your gonna pump milk here when we visit for Elliot?" Demi nodded her head.

"Yeah it's the only way around it, my boobs will never be the same after this," Demi joked making Joe laugh as he kissed her gently. "I'm looking forward to getting home with them, I want my own bed." Joe agreed with her.

"I'm going to head home soon and get a shower and a change of clothes, do you want me to bring anything?"

"No but go and get some stuff for Elliot that isn't girly? We'll get the rest when he's home and we can go together." Demi stated.

"So just some clothes and a blanket?" Demi nodded her head.

"Burp him while I feed the girls?" Joe took Elliot from her laying him over his shoulder rubbing his back gently. He watched as Demi carefully lifted Evie assisting her to her left breast then doing the same with Elsie on her right.

"We're gonna make a great team," Joe grinned Demi laughing but kept her eyes on her girls. "Come on little man where's a burp?"

"Stop being stupid." Demi warned jokingly Joe smiling as Elliot let out a little burp. Joe set him back in his arms kissing his head Elliot stared up at his father as Joe stared back down at him admiring him, neither Joe or Demi could wait to start their lives with their triplets. They knew it would be a challenge but they were sure they could do it.
