CALLIES POV
Its the next morning and the nurses have told me that poppy is doing extremely well and if she passes all their examinations today she can come home with me. I am so excited but really nervous cause she's so little compared to the others when we brought them home. Brandon and the kids should all be here soon and we have a photographer coming in from my studio to take pictures of the kids with poppy.
Brandon walks in carrying luca and Hallie and brooklyn follow.
"Hey guys" hi say sitting myself up taking Luca off brandon "hey buddy you excited?"
"yah" he says
"hey girls, hop up on the bed" they both jump up and are by my side
"your ok!" Brooklyn states
"haha I told you I would be baby" I say kissing her head
"wheres poppy?" Hallie asks
"she is just having some tests and then they'll bring her down so you can see her"
"YAY" they all shout
"hey shhh you cant shout in a hospital guys"
"sorry" they all whispered making me giggle. The girls jump off the bed to get their snacks from Brandon but Luca stays with me. "arent you hungry buddy?"
He nods yes he is. "well daddy has some food little man"
"I want to stay with you"
"Oh baby Im not going anywhere you can come back"
"you sure?" he asks
"yeah baby quick go get your snack" He runs over to Brandon then sprints back to me. "there ya go" I say ruffling his hair making him laugh.
"hey mum?" Hallie asks
"yeah babe"
"why is she in the NICU?"
"cause she was a little early so she was smaller than normal and they just had to make sure she was alright to come home and now she is"
"so shes ok?"
"yeah baby shes fine now"
"good" she says smiling.
Brandon sneaks up behind her and tickles her until she falls to the floor from laughter and just as he stops the nurse walks in wheeling Poppy in her crib. The kids all stop and watch really carefully. It makes me laugh watching how concentrated they are. The nurse pick her up and hands her to me and they all come up and sit on the bed.
"shes so cute" Hallie says
"little" Luca says
"yeah baby she is little" I answer "you guys want to hold her?"
"YEAH!" they say a little too loudly but I let it go.
"alright well each of you go sit in a seat and you can take turns" I carefully get out of bed with help from Brandon and carefully place Poppy in Hallie's arms first. She could not have a bigger smile if she tried. Brandon puts his arms around me and squeezes me tightly kissing the side of my head "I love you" I smile and kiss him back "I love you too".
"My turn" Brooklyn says
I laugh "Ok ok" I lift Poppy out of Hallie's arms and place her in Brooklyns "you got her?"
"yep" she replies. Hallie runs up to me and I crouch down to her level "thankyou" she says
"for what baby?"
"being the best mummy in the world"
I smile "thanks baby, I love you"
"Love you too, but umm can you fix my hair daddy diddnt do it very well"
I start laughing and Brandons frowning "yeah hop up on the bed sweetie" she jumps up and I start braiding her hair while I do that Brandon gives Poppy to Luca giving him more help holding her because hes only three. I finish hallie's hair and the doctor comes in "Callie Jacobs?"
"Yes" I answer
"right, well you are good to go home today and Poppy's doctor should be down soon to tell you if shes ready ok?"
"Ok thankyou"
"no problem" he then leaves the room
"yay mummy do you get to come home with us?" Brooklyn asks
"I do baby"
"YAY!!"
3 HOURS LATER
So the doctors gave the all clear for me and Poppy and Brandon is just getting the car seat from the car for us so we can finally go home. The photographer took the cutest pictures of the kids and I cant wait to show Stef and Lena. We put Poppy in her Little sister onesie and all the other kids now have there shirts on Lucas best big brother, Brooklyns Big sister and Hallie's bigger sister. They all look so cute. Brandon comes back in and we strap Poppy in and head home.
HOME
When we finally get home Brandon takes Poppy inside in her carrier and I carry in Luca along with the girls. When I get inside Brandon already has Poppy and and is jsut mesmerized by her staring and not looking away, its really sweet. I walk over and sit next to him while the kids all crowd around. He turns his head to me "we make cute babies"
"ha we do dont we" I say pulling Brooklyn onto my lap
"Mummy have you seen her room?" Hallie asks
I turn to Brandon "I have not"
He smiles "come on" he says getting up with Poppy holding out his hand for me. i get up and he leads me upstairs to her room and its absolutely beautiful. The whole room is a lime green with a tree behind her white crib and he name Poppy engraved into the crib. The mobile has elephants on it matching the carrier. She has a brown shaggy rug in the middle of the room and Poppy in big letters on the wall. I turn to Bradnon "This is absolutely beautiful Brandon, your amazing"
"Woaw this is so cool" Hallie says
"hey your room isnt half bad either missy"
"yeah but this one has things painted on the walls"
"oi you out come on lets go downstairs and give Blue a treat while daddy puts Poppy down for a nap"
"okaay" she whines I shake my head as I take the other kids downstairs while Brandon stays up here.
HALF AN HOUR LATER
We finish playing with Blue and the kids run back inside and Hallie screams Brookylns name when she gets to the top of the stairs cause Brooklyn was being slow and all I hear is Brandon starting to shout at Hallie once Poppy starts crying. I rush up the stairs
"Hallie she just went to sleep"
"Im sorry"
"sorry isnt good enough you need to think about things
"I said I was sorry"
"God sometimes you just dont listen. I told you I was putting her to sleep now the poor thing was woken by you screaming"
"Brandon thats enough, she forgot, it was an accident, calm down"
"Yeah callie I guess your right waking a newborn doesnt need a punishment" he says sarcastically
"guys go play downstairs" I tell the kids and they do as theyre told Hallie crying on her way down
"You need to calm the fuck down Brandon. There was no need for that. There were so many times when Luca first came home and you were at work that he got woken by the girls, its what happens when you have more than one kid."
"she still should have known for fucks sake"
"Ok firstly language, secondly for the hundredth time it was an accident Poppy has stopped crying she's probably asleep again, seriously brandon whats wrong with you, just go downstair and I'll check on her"
"Fine!" he says as he storms downstairs out the front door slamming it behind him making Poppy cry.
"Well if she did go back to sleep she's awake now. Thanks Brandon" I say to myself. I walk into her room and pick her up rocking her to calm her down. I rock her in the rocking chair for a bit until she falls back asleep then put her in her crib. When I go downstairs the kids are doing a puzzle on the lounge floor and I go and sit with them pulling Hallie on my lap "you know you did nothing wrong right baby?"
"why was daddy so angry?"
"your guess is as good as mine sweetie, you just have to remember to be a little quieter now the baby is her ok?"
"ok mummy" she say pecking my cheek. I hop up and call Brandon

END PHONECALL
I hung up before he could finish. I am so sick of him not trusting me. I know we'll get over this but right now I really dont want to talkt to him. I walk back into the lounge and sit with the kids
"who's Wyatt?" Hallie asks
"umm he's, he's just a friend babe"
"Is he not aloud here like Luke?"
"Umm if he really wants to come and visit he will"
"can we invite him over?"
"I dont think thats a good idea right now, maybe when your older yeah?"
"okay" she goes back to playing while I sigh in relief that she dropped the topic of Wyatt.
