Life Never goes as Planned

Welcome Home

2 weeks later

The long awaited day has finally arrived, the day that I bring my little bundle of joy home. My Rhea Marie. There I am at the hospital strapping Rhea her into her car seat. That's when Jesse walks into the NICU. "You ready?" He asks as he gives me a kiss. I nod. "The twins?" "Good, they were excited to get to school." I smile. "Good." He nods.

"So is the little princess ready to go?" He asks as he looks at Rhea. "I think she is." I say with a big smile on my face. "Ok Mrs Jones, here are your baby's discharge papers, congrats again." I smiled. "Thank you," I say to the nurse who had been treating Rhea since she was born. Jesse grabbed the car seat and we made our way to the car.

Once we were all strapped in we made our way back to the house. As we were driving I couldn't help but think of Killian. When the nurse said Mrs Jones I couldn't help but feel a little heart broken. I thought Killian would be here by the time Rhea arrived but he's not. I look up at the front of the car and I imagined Killian driving and looking back at me.

"You ok Love?" Killian asks and I smile. "How's our little princess doing?" He again asks and I smile. "Good, because her daddy is here." He smiles. "I love you Emma." I start to cry. "And I love you." That's when I shake my head and rubbed my eyes. I looked at my surroundings and noticed that I was daydreaming. I look at the driver's seat and I see Jesse there. I sighed and leaned back.

I then looked at Rhea and grabbed her little hand. I felt so bad that she will never get to meet her real father. I sighed. Maybe loving Jesse and accepting him to be a part of the family will be good for her and the twins.

Time passes by and we finally made it back to the house. Jesse opens the door and the lights are off. I gasp. "Umm Jesse.." "Welcome home Rhea." I hear and I jump. The lights go on and I see all of my family Well Killian's family there and some people from the institute and of course Lacy and my in laws. I start to tear up. "You guys....." I say and let the tears flow.

I didn't get a chance to do a baby shower for Rhea and here are the people that I adored the most celebrating that she's finally home. Lacy walks up to me and hugs me. "Thank you, for the surprise." She shakes her head. "It wasn't my idea." I gave her a baffled look. She then turned around and looked at Jesse. "You planned this?" He nods. I smiled. "Thank you."

He nods. "Anything for you beautiful." I smiled. "Ok so let's see the beautiful princess." Brennan says and I nod. I put her car seat on the couch and take her out. "Everyone I would like to formally introduce you to the newest member of our family, Rhea Marie Jones." Everyone clapped and Rhea started to wake up.

Right away Killian's sisters wanted to grab her and they did. I honestly felt weird that Jesse did this and invited Killian's family when they knew that something is going on between Jesse and I. I look over at the table and I see a bunch of gifts for Rhea, that honestly warmed my heart.

I started to talk to my colleagues and friends, man we were having such a good time. I loved being United with my family and friends. Time passes by and all the people from the institute left. My sisters in law were folding and putting all the gifts away, they were simply adorable. Which is weird because they could be mean at times. Brennan is holding Rhea and she starts to cry.

"Uh oh I think someone is hungry," he says and I laugh. "I think so too," I say as I grab her. "Hey sweetie, we will clean everything up, so you don't have to worry about it." I smiled. "You don't have to do that." She nudges me. "Shush and feed your child, we will be back tomorrow to spoil her some more," my mother in law says and I nod. I go and hug her and Brennan. "See you two later." They nod.

I made my way down the hall and walked into her nursery which by the way was a total surprise because I had not planned to even make a nursery for Rhea. I walked in and Lacy followed right behind. She closed the door and my sisters in law were in there as well.
