Scarletts POV.

“Oh my god she’s gorgeous!” Emilia Gushes looking down at Ivy who is sound asleep in Violets arms.

The three of them are sitting on a small hospital couch.

“She is.” I sigh and snuggle into Julian who is sitting next to me on my hospital bed.

I watch as my little girl wriggles in her aunties arms before she opens her eyes slowly.

“Oh my god she is opening her eyes!” Violet squeals excitedly and grabs hold of Emilias hand.

When Ivy finally manages to get them open to reveal her beautiful purple eyes like her fathers she squishes her face up and closes her eyes again before slowly reopening them.

I laugh and so does Julian.

“Look at her eyes!” Emilia says wonderingly, her eyes wide in shock.

“Yeah. I know. We are not sure about why she has purple eyes. She likes milk and not blood. Yes, we tried to give her some when we saw the colour, she hated it and wanted milk.” I say to her. “Oh! And she is not growing fastly anymore, she is growing at a normal pace.”

“That’s good.” Emilia says looking down at Ivy as she falls asleep again.

“When do you get to come home?” Violet asks looking up from her niece.

“Tomorrow, hopefully.” I smile, I can’t wait to go home. I can’t wait to have my own room and bed and just be home.

“Oh my god!” Emilia squeals, “I have to go shopping now I know that it is a girl!”

“I’ll come.” Violet chimes in.

“Me too!” Isobelle adds.

Violet gets up off of the hospital couch and brings Ivy over to me. As soon as she is in my arms I bring her closer to me and she starts to try and nestle in closer to me.

“I guess she is hungry.” I say with a small laugh.

“Yeah.” Julian agrees , smiling down at Ivy.

“Okay, were going.” Mia says, “We will be back soon.”

Violet leans down and kisses my forehead. “She really is beautiful.” She says before exiting to room after Mia and Belle.

I get Ivy set up and she starts feeding almost as soon as she can.

“I still can’t believe we have a baby. And that she was inside of me only yesterday!” I gush.

“I know, it seems crazy. We are parents! I’m a father! You’re a mother!”

“It is crazy! At least nothing bad happened to me or her during the labour.” I say nodding down at our baby.

“I’m glad nothing bad happened. I don’t know what I would have done.” He says looking away.

“Yeah.” I say as Ivy starts to fall asleep. “She is falling asleep. Again.”

Julian laughs. “Well isn’t that what most babies do? Eat, sleep, poop and cry?”

“Yeah. They do.” I laugh again. I have been doing so much laughing today.

“You look tired.”  He says looking me in the eyes.

“Yeah, I am.” I sigh and look down at our little girl. “She is finished.”
