Run Away for my Baby

Chapter Sixteen

I went into labour in the early hours of the morning and I had been lying in this hospital bed for the last six hours and nothing had changed. I was bored and in pain, Josh had calmed down since his panic this morning when my waters broke. I was ready for this. I wanted my family to be whole finally.

"It's time," the nurse that had been looking after me since I came in said.

"Finally," I sighed. I didn't know that having a baby could be so dull. There was literally nothing I could do accept watch TV and I didn't really want to do that at this moment. I just wanted my baby.

The actual procedure of having the baby was quick and very painful, like had expected. Luckily, everything went according to plan and I had Josh holding my hand the whole time encouraging me.

In the past couple of months Josh had been an amazing husband. He did everything he could possibly do to make me happy and it did. Yes, we still argued like what colour to paint the baby's room and what to have for dinner but nothing major. Our life together was good and we were happy and about to get even better.

"Here your baby, Mrs Callaway," the doctor handed me my little baby wrapped in a pink blanket. She was gorgeous. She had a little button nose and big blue eyes, her tiny hands wrapped around my finger tightly.

Tears spilled from my eyes as I looked at her. "I love you Lana," I kissed her smooth forehead.

"She's beautiful," my husband muttered tearfully from beside me. "We make beautiful babies."

"We sure do." I leaned up to kiss him. He had tears in his eyes as he looked down at both of us. "We're going to make a good family," I sighed.

A little while later our families joined us in the hospital room. They each took turns holding our little Lana. She had been so good with not crying and letting everyone hold her.

After they left the nurse, from before, helped me nurse Lana and burp her. She also help with giving her a bath and changing her diaper. Josh was there the whole time learning how to look after our baby too, he really got stuck in with everything. I knew he was going to be an amazing father to all of our children.

It was late in the evening when Josh, Lana and I headed home. Josh and I had bought the whole house we had been living in the first time we married, with the help from our parents, a few months back. We had to knock through a wall which led to another flight of stairs and three extra bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. Downstairs we gained an office and more living space, along with another bedroom. Josh and I had plans to fill each of these bedrooms eventually.

Josh was carrying Lana into our home because I was too exhausted to do so, but it was great to be finally home with our baby that we had waited months for.

"I'll take her to bed," Josh muttered kissing my forehead. "You go and take a bath and climb into bed. Let me do all the work."

Lux was staying at my parents' house for the night so we didn't have to worry about her. I headed upstairs to our bedroom and went straight into the bathroom and ran a bath. I had some of my favourite bath bombs and bubble bath before climbing into the warm water.

It relaxed me instantly.

Josh climbed into the bath behind me a little while later. He massaged my back as he settled in the water. It felt amazing. "I love you Baby," Josh kissed my neck. "You did amazing today."

"Thank you Josh," I sighed leaning back against him. "I love you so much, none of this would be possible without you."

"Of course not, it takes two to make a baby," he teased back as he arms slid around me.

I laughed at his comment. "Did she settle alright?"

"Yeah she didn't wake up when I put her down, hopefully she'll sleep through the night," he replied. He stroked a hand up and down my arm slowly, it caused shivers to run down through my body. Unfortunately, for the next six weeks Josh and I wouldn't be able to have sex, so we're going to have to find other ways of pleasuring each other.

I slowly touched him, "You like?" I muttered as I moved my hand.

"Yes, Baby, don't stop," he groaned at the feeling. I didn't stop, I wanted to pleasure my husband because he wouldn't be receiving any properly for a while.

"Time for bed," Josh said once we had climbed out of the bath. He wrapped a large towel around me and quickly dried me. He then reached for one of his t-shirt and pulled it over my head, before kissing me lightly on the nose. He tugged on some boxers, then quickly picking me up and carrying me to our bed.

"I want to say goodnight to Lana," I sighed in his arms. He quickly walked me over to her crib and settled me gently on the floor. "Goodnight, Little Baby," I kissed her forehead softly. "I love you."

Josh too said goodnight to our baby and then picking me up to carry me to bed. He gently lay me down before climbing in beside me. "Sleep tight, Anna Banana, I love you."

"Night, Joshy Washy, I love you too," I sighed happily.
