******************
When I woke up I felt like I got punched in the stomach.
Drew was sitting on the end of the bed and he was smiling out the window.
"Hey." I smiled softly.
He grinned at me. "Hi."
"Where's Gracie?" I stretched.
He nodded toward the bassinet next to the bed. "She is sleeping."
I smiled ad carefully got out the bed. "When do you think we will be able to go home?"
"Tomorrow." he leaned back on the bed and sighed happily.
"How long have I been asleep?" I laid on top of him.
He put his arms around me and rubbed circles in my waist. "A few hours."
"Only?"
He nodded.
I stood up. "Well, I'm going to find a shower."
"Can I come too?" he smirked.
I rolled my eyes and picked some clothes out of the bag.
He laughed and stared at the ceiling. "You never said no."
"Idiot." I mumbled and smiled.
Beth came in the room and smiled. Drew sat up and hugged her. She looked at me. "Alex, how are you?"
"Good." I smiled and hugged her. "I'm going to go wash up, I'll be back."
Beth nodded and went to the bassinet. Drew turned around and faced me.
He mouthed, 'you never said no.'
I shook my head and left the room. After I showered I went back in the room and Drew was sitting on the bed holding Gracie. I sat in front of him and tickled her cheek.
She looked up at me and stared. Drew handed her to me and I smiled softly.
"She looks like you." I smiled at Drew.
He leaned forward and kissed my forehead. "I think so too."
She gripped onto my finger and I smiled.
*******2 days later*******
Today is the day Gracie and I can go home.
I picked Gracie up out of her bassinet and laid her on a pillow. Drew brought in the diaper bag and set it on the bed.
I picked out a yellow onesie with a butterfly on the stomach. She didn't fuss until we got in the car.
I was sitting in the backseat and she was squirming in her car seat.
Drew sped up and smiled at me in the rearview mirror.
I looked up at him and tilted my head. Gracie cried harder and I focused my attention back to her. After I calmed her down I glanced up at him.
He was still smiling.
"What are you smiling about?"
He shook his head and pulled up to his house. He helped me out of the car and carried Gracie in the house.
I walked slowly because I was still sore. Drew opened the door for me and I kissed him.
"I appreciate you." I smiled and took Gracie from him.
We sat in the living room on the couch and I leaned on Drew's arm.
I was breastfeeding Gracie when Drew kissed my neck. "What were you smiling about in the car?"
"The joys of parenthood." he grinned and I laughed.
