Here it is guys, the long awaited chapter 17. Lots of things have been happening recently like me starting college and getting settled in, looking for jobs, and tons of other things. I have some down time so I figured I'd write a chapter or two.
The doctor handed Ellie off to the nurses after a bit of hesitation to get her cleaned up, weighed, measured, and a few other things as I regrouped myself a bit. "Um, one question." The doctor spoke up, putting his hands together then resting his fingertips on his lips "You didn't happen to buy all pink things did you?"
Cook's face fell flat and he gave him a look "Are you saying my daughter has a dick?"
"James!" I scolded, tilting my head to look to the doctor "We have a boy?" I asked my eyes starting to form new tears
"You have a boy!" The doctor said happily as the nurse made her way over to lay the baby on my chest/stomach. They soon left to let us have some family time.
"Is it really a bad thing that we had a boy?" I quietly asked, as the baby boy was asleep.
"No, at least I have someone to do guy stuff with now." Cook shrugged and smiled "We can always have a girl later. We can have lots of babies." His smiled wider.
"Baseball team?" I asked hopeful
"Baseball team." he repeated
A little while later, I was drifting off to sleep holding the new baby boy. My arms started to go a little limp as I fell asleep. James noticed and decided to take the baby from me, preventing any possible injuries. I let myself fall completely asleep this time, knowing the little one was safe. Around three hours later I was awoken by a male voice speaking beside me. Staying quiet, i turned my head and opened my eyes to see James looking down as our son stared up at him.
"You know, even though you were supposed to be a girl, you're still the most precious thing I could ever get, besides your mummy." Cook smiled, his thumb moving across the baby's bum. "Even if I have to redo the whole nursery for you."
-Time jump to around 2 weeks later-
James was running around frantically with a pack of diapers in his hand, baby onsie in the other "I'm coming! Don't you worry Buddy, Daddy's coming!" he ran into the nursery to change the baby. "Right where I left ya." he smiled as his eyes landed on the little baby boy in the crib. The baby made grabby hands to Cook and gave him a gummy smile. He start to talk baby gibberish while James started to change him. More interested in his hands and feet, the baby wriggled around, giving James a rough time.
He finished up with his dirty diaper and make a disgusted face, rolled it up, and threw it away. Leigh soon came in, not hearing either one of them for awhile and rested her head on the doorway. She stood silently as James cradled the baby's small frame against his chest, cuddling him. The baby quickly settled into James's chest and his eyelids drooped. Soon enough, he was fast asleep and James laid him down for a nap.
"You've gotten good at that." Leigh commented, making James jump and swear.
"Fuck! No more creeping up on me woman." He spoke up. Leigh grinned and closed the small distance between them, wrapping her arms around his waist. The pair watched the baby peacefully sleep, James reaching for the monitor after a short time. Walking down the stairs, they realized just how messy their home was so they decided to clean it. More like Leigh forced James into doing it. They finished up about 2 hours later and plopped down onto the couch to relax more before the baby woke up.
"You hungry?" Cook turned his head and quietly asked Leigh. She snuggled in more to his arm and put on her thinking face before shooting upright in her seat
"Tator tot casserole!!" she cheered loudly, but not loud enough to wake the baby.
"You sure? You're not sick of having it?" he questioned her further to make sure she was positive.
Instead of answering him, she gave him an "Are you serious?" look and that was all he needed to lift himself off the couch in order to go start dinner. The sound of small cries filled the baby monitor and Leigh picked herself up from the couch to go calm the baby as James finished cooking.
Soon enough the three were eating, the baby being nursed. James cleared the table and washed dishes as Leigh laid on the couch, baby on her chest. James returned to his previous seat, this time Leigh's feet resting on his thighs. They watched TV until they fell asleep, remaining on the couch for the night.
I bet you're all wondering what the little baby's name is, well I have a few options in mind. What do you think his name will be????? Leave a comment below with your guess!!! Don't worry, In the story the baby is already named I'm just waiting to reveal it until the next chapter.
