A New Life Means New Beginnings

1 month later

A shiny Monday morning in March, Rooney woke up to the scream of her son next to her in her bed and she groaned as she opened her eyes and saw him laying and screaming for food, his face red with tears. Sighing deep Rooney brought him closer and let him find her nipple and he immediately began sucking hard making Rooney hiss.

Ever since the doctors had accepted for Wes to come home, Rooney's life had turned upside down. Both on the good and the bad side. She loved to have her son around, seeing him develop his life further and growing up. Watching the boy's face lightening up when he got food or kisses and hugs from his family.

But it was painful to take care of him alone without Eve. She hadn't seen Eve since she left for Boston and to say life has been hard would be an understatement. Not having Eve around was harder than Rooney ever thought possible.

She missed her girlfriend to no end and she desperately wanted her to come back, but at the same time, she was so angry at Eve for leaving her just like that. She loved Eve, but she hated her for leaving her and their son like that.

She heard a plop and she looked down to see her son was finished eating. She sighed and sat up in the bed before picking him up and laying him against her shoulder so she could clap his back. Once she heard a burp from her son she smiled in satisfaction and pulled him back down and held him in front of her, his small face showing.

"Hi baby", she whispered kissing his small cheek and a little smile appeared on his small face, making Rooney smile wide, tears forming in her eyes. Her son was just so lovely she couldn't stop smiling at him. She laid him back down onto the bed and kissed his head before getting out of bed, getting some clothes on.

Once done, she walked back out of the bathroom and took her son over to his changing table and changed him out of his dirty diaper and gave him a clean one before giving him her old onesie with the 'I wasn't planned' text on. Once done she took him into her arms and kissed his face before walking out of her room, and down the stairs, already hearing her family in the kitchen.

She walked inside and they all turned to her with huge smiles. "There they are", Emma said with a smile and Violet jumped up from her seat in happiness and Rooney chuckled as her sister reached for her nephew. Rooney placed her son in her sisters arms and Violet smiled and kissed his face before putting him on her lap.

"How are you sweetheart?", Regina asked as Rooney walked over to her little brothers on the ground and kissed their heads before standing and sitting down.

"Tired. Wes just wouldn't go to sleep last night", she said and they could all see the sadness in Rooney's eyes. It was obvious she was missing Eve and was having a hard time taking care of Wes all on her own.

"You're doing good sweetheart. We're all proud of you", Emma assured her and Rooney gave her a small smile.

"I just wish Eve was here", she said as she looked at Violet sitting with Wes in her arms.

"We all do honey", Regina said and Rooney nodded taking some breakfast. "Has he eaten?"

"Yeah, I fed him just before we came down here"

Regina smiled and nodded in satisfaction. She was truly proud of her daughter. Ever since they were able to take Wes home, Rooney had proven to be a good mother and taking good care of him. She has of course had her moments where she would come crying into her and Emma's bedroom with her crying son in her arms, tears running down her own face. But they've helped her well and Regina couldn't be more proud of her daughter.

"He has my hunger", the girl said in pure pride and they all chuckled, Emma smiling in pride as well.

"What can I say? It's the Swan appetite", she said making Regina chuckled while shaking her head.
