New Beginnings

Chapter 51

I feel like I've been in here an eternity. I look at my watch. 3 hours. It's like 6am. The doctor said if everything goes as planned that they'll send the baby home on the 4. Technically it's the 3rd. I hear a baby cry and for a second I think it's in the operating room until I see Zay's fussing. I pick him up out of his carrier and rock him back to sleep. I check his diaper.
"I'll be back I gotta go change the baby."
"I'll go with!" Susan says.
"Okay." I leave the carrier and just grab the diaper bag and the baby. We get in the elevator and I press 1.
"You look great I can't believe you just had a baby!"
"Surprise! I'm 66 and still got it!" I laugh. The elevator stops and we get off. I see Sarah arguing with the nurse at the desk.
"Sarah?"
"Jess! They wouldn't give me where you were! Danny texted me."
Okay we're headed to the bathroom you can join if you want."
"Okay." She follows too.
After I'm done changing him, Sarah takes him over. She always does anytime she sees him.
"Who's aunties baby?" She coos.
He makes noise.
I laugh.
"You make an adorable baby Jessica." Susan says staring at Zay.
"Well thanks." I say smiling. We get back and John rushes out.
"She wants her momma!"
I hand Zay to Danny and go in.
I walk to her and bend down.
"How you feeling?"
"Like they need to go faster." I smile and kiss her on the head. I hear a baby cry and look up at the doctor grabbing the baby. I instantly tear up.
"He's beautiful." i whisper. They hand him to her and I go grab John and push him back into the room. I'm a crying mess. He was beautiful. My grandbaby. How did I get so blessed? Danny gets up and comes to me
"Are you alright."
"He was so beautiful, an angel. Oh god I already love him." I smile, crying. Danny wipes my tears and kisses me. I finally start to calm down and John walks out of the operating room with the baby and hands him to me.
"Oh my goodness. He's cute and tiny." I tear up all over again. I hold his little hand and sniffle. I'm a grandma of 2 now soon to be 4. Danny clears his throat.
"My turn."
"We don't take turns." I laugh and shakily wipe my tears.
"What's his name John?"
"Zachary Allen Gummer." I smile and kiss his head.
"Welcome to the world baby Gummer."
