Walk In My Stiletto Shoes!

Chapter Twenty Three- And they all lived happily ever after, right? :)

Brooke:

Today is the day. Little Brantley and I are finally going home. Honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of here. This place gives me the creeps. Ever since dad and I were here. It brought back a lot of memories, that's for sure. I was in the hospital room getting him dressed and talking to him. Everyone else had gone home to eat. Jenn promised to come by my house later. 

"I can't wait to show you your new room." I smiled at Brantley.

"I can't wait ethier." A manly voice was coming from the doorway. I looked up to see Jeremy and Drake standing there.  "If you'll let me." The voice was Drakes.

They walked over to where Brantley and I were.

"I think Brantley would be more than happy to have both parents take him home." I started. "But that's as far as things are going tto go with us. Brantleys parents."

"I'm okay with that." Drake said.

I walked back over to my hospital bed to finsih packing up my things. I looked up to see Jeremy standing in front of me.

"What about us? He asked.

I looked up with tears in my eyes. "You cheated on me, lied to me, and accused me of being the one who was cheating. That's a lot to just put behind and forget about."

"I'm sorry, Brooke. I was still confused on what I wanted. Now I know that there is nothing I want more than to be with you and Brantley."

We were interupted by crying. When I looked over I seen Drake standing infront of Brantleys bed.

"I'll get him." Jeremy said as the crying got louder.

As soon as Jeremy approached Brantley he quit crying. Jeremy picked him up and brought him over to me. Brantley's eyes opened instantly.Hearing the crying stop reminded me of the other day when Jeremy approached Brantley. He became really happy. Is this Brantleys way of saying he wants Jeremy around?

"What do you say we get going?" Jeremy asked. Grabbing mine and Brantleys bags off the chair.

Twenty minutes later we were outside of my house. There were several vehicles already in my driveway. I recognized my aunts, Jenns and Drakes but that was about it. Other than my own car. 

I got out and got Brantley. Drake and Jeremy followed us inside.

"Welcome Home!" Everyone yelled as I opened the door. My aunt rushed over grabbed the car seat from my hands. 

"Everyone, meet Brantley Michael Joesph Carter. The newest addition to our family." My aunt said as she held Brantley up for everyone to see.

I walked over to where Jenn was standing. "I'm so tired. I feel like I haven't slept in days." 

"Must be close to naptime then." Jenn chuckled.

It wasn't long after that the house was cleared out. Everyone but Jeremy, Jenn, Brantley and I had left.

"Come on, Brantley." I said as I took him from Jenn. Let's give your godmothers arms a break. I'll show you your room." I started for the chairs. I looked behind me to see Jeremy following me.

"I'll bring your bags up." He said.

I opened Brantley's door and walked inside. I sat down in the rocking chair and Brantley started cooing. "You like your room? Jenn and Jeremy helped get it ready." I smiled down at him. 

Jeremy walked into the room. "He looks so much like you."

"Thanks." I said half smiling.

"Can I hold him again?"
