Before we start, I want to sincerely apologize for taking so long to update, it's been like a month and I'm incredibly sorry, I've been really busy with Bulletproof and my newest story Come Find Us and time got away from me, so I'm very sorry and I know my excuses may be shit, but for those who didn't give up on this story I thank you so very much and I love you more than life <3
Here's a semi long chapter because you waited :)

"What the hell is this?" I scream, tears filling my eyes at the words along the paper "He's just a baby" I cry, burying my head into Austin's neck.
"This can't be happening" Austin mumbles, kissing my temple.
"I'll be back" I run up the steps to get my laptop. I run back down the steps and log in, waiting for it to load.
"What are you doing?"
"Research on how we can fix this" I mutter, going onto google. When it pops up, I type in CCHD, and click on the first hyperlink "It says Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) represents a group of heart defects that cause serious, life-threatening symptoms and requires intervention within the first days or first year of life. CCHD is often treatable if detected early. It can encompass abnormalities in the rhythm of the heart, as well as a wide array of structural heart problems. These problems can range from mild (never requiring cardiac surgery), to severe (requiring multiple different stages of open heart surgeries). CCHD can involve abnormal or absent chambers, holes in the heart, abnormal connections in the heart, and abnormalities in the function or squeeze of the heart. Most congenital heart conditions affect patients from childhood through adulthood" I read off, unable to control my tears but I continue to read anyways.
"Some babies affected with CCHD can look and act healthy at first, but within hours or days after birth they can have serious complications. Pulse oximetry newborn screening is a non-invasive test that measures how much oxygen is in the blood and can help to identify babies that may be affected with CCHD before they leave the newborn nursery. If detected early, infants affected with CCHD can often be treated and lead longer, healthier lives"
"We need to take him to the doctors" Austin states "But until we can, we need to look at the bright side, maybe his isn't severe" He walks over to me, placing his hands on my shoulders and leaning down to kiss my cheek "Does is say when we can make a Doctors appointment on the paper?" He asks.
"No, but I'll call him and get him one for tomorrow" I pick up the phone, dialing the number to the Doctor's office.
"Hello, you've reached Oak Crest pediatrics this is Lauren speaking how may I help you?" [A/N Oak Crest is literally an old folks home my brothers best friend works at XD]
"Hi, I'd like to make an appointment for my son" I speak into the phone.
"Alright, we have tomorrow at noon, Saturday at 3 and next Tuesday at 4 and 7"
"I'd like tomorrow" I tell her, picking at my finger nails.
"Okay, his name?"
"Toby Mahone" I tell her and she hums.
"Okay, and is he a returning patient?"
"No, but we received a letter from Dr. Smith" I tell her.
"Alright, I'll set you up an appointment with him, and I'll see you tomorrow at noon" She says sweetly.
"Thank you"
"My pleasure, have a good day"
"You too" I hang up the phone, sitting it down on the table.
"So?"
"We have an appointment tomorrow at noon, are you going?" I ask him, running my hands over my face.
"Of course I'm going" He nods, leaning down to kiss me sweetly "Now, how about we put him to bed, and watch a movie?" He suggests, rubbing my shoulders.
"That sounds nice" I nod, closing my eyes at the feeling of him massaging my shoulders. I walk over to Toby and pick him up "It's time for you to go to bed Baby" I coo "Can mama have a kiss" I pucker my lips, he puts his chubby hands on my face and leans in to peck my lips and I giggle, kissing his cheek after "Let's go give daddy kisses too" I walk over to Austin, Toby doing the same thing to him.
"I'll start the movie" Austin calls and I nod, walking up the steps to put Toby in his room. I lay him down in his crib as he yawns, and I smile lightly.
"I love you Baby" I whisper, and he coos back. I cover him up with a blanket and put a pacifier in his mouth, his eyes slowly closing, I watch him as his breathing slows and he falls asleep before I leave the room, making sure to crack it just in case.
I walk back down the steps seeing Austin on the couch waiting for me with two glasses of wine, a bowl of popcorn and a Romantic Comedy "What movie is it?" I ask.
"Couples Retreat, old but I know you secretly love it" He hands me one of the glasses when I plop down beside him on the couch. He throws his arm around me after covering us up in a blanket and places the bowl of popcorn in his lap.
"I'd never admit it though" I laugh, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Good morning" Austin mutters from below me, we're still laying on the couch, an empty bottle of wine on the floor, my head pounding.
"Am I hungover?" I groan and he chuckles.
"Probably" He shrugs and I sit up from the couch "Fuck! IT's 10:30! We only have an hour and a half and we both need showers and so does Toby"
"Well we can take on-"
"Who's going to watch the baby?" I ask, cutting off his suggestion.
"True, I'll take a quick one while you give Toby a bath and then I'll watch him while you shower"
"Sounds like a plan, I'll go get him" I say walking up the steps to get Toby, when I get into his room, he's already awake and laying in his bed, playing with his feet "Good morning Sunshine" I pick him up, grabbing a towel and walking back down stairs with him, filling up the sink half way and 3 cups of water. I splash some water on him before pouring soap into my hands and washing his body, and by this time I hear Austin start the shower. I take one cup of water and rinse him off, pouring shampoo into my hand and washing his hair, he splashes around in the water until I lean his head back to rinse it out, then he continues when I'm done.
I drain the water in the sink, and when it's all down the drain, I take the last cup of water and rinse off all the remaining soap before wrapping him in a towel. I walk up the steps, Austin coming out of the bedroom "Here, you get him dressed, while I shower" I hand him Toby as I quickly walk to the bathroom. I take a quick shower, deciding to not wash my hair to save time, and when I'm done I throw on a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt.
"Ready?" Austin asks, when I get to the living room.
"As ready as I'll ever be" I nod.
