We're Older Now

Chapter 28

Week 3:

After getting Sally and Michael to help us out it's been a lot easier on Xavier. He's had more energy and more sleep. Smiling and seems more relaxed again. That also may be because of the fact that we are currently going through last check points before being able to take our girl home.

"She has to do the capsule test. Staying in a car capsule for an hour unassisted. If she passes that and you pass your doctors tests you both can go home." The doctor says. I smile at him and take hold of Xavier's hand.

"Have you Two decided on a name?" I smile and turn to Xavier.

"We have. Cordelia Nicole Price." The doctor smiles at the name Xavier gives him.

"Alright well you'll need to fill out the birth certificate too. You can do that after the tests if you like." I nod my head.

I watch with so much anxiety as he puts my girl into the capsule. She still seems so small. Xavier squeezes my hand slightly. I watch her intently for the next hour as my doctors run tests on me. Heart rate, blood pressure, stitches and more blood work.

By the time the results come back for me it's almost an hour up and not even a cry has come from my girl who is just watching us while we watch her.

"Alright. Your blood work is perfect and your girl is good to go with you. She's a little trooper like her mum." I smile and hug my doctor. He laughs slightly and hugs me back as Xavier turns to our girl and picks her up, holding her in his arms.

"You can take that capsule. It's one of the things left behind by parents." I nod my head and thank him.

"I'll just go into the bathroom and change." I say to the both of them. Xavier sways slightly with our girl in his arms as the doctor walks out to grab the paper work we have to fill out.

I walk into the bathroom and change from the hospital gown into a black V neck long sleep and a pair of high waisted dark blue denim tight fitted jeans and my black heeled boots and my leather jacket. I sigh and smile at my reflection. After so many weeks I finally feel normal again.

I walk back out and over to Xavier. He glances at me then does a double take. I smirk at him, winking too. I know that look anywhere. That's his lustful look. Which means what I'm wearing right now is really working for him.

"You look breathtaking." I smile as he kisses my cheek.

I grab my bags and we walk out together to sign the paper work. I sigh my sections and Xavier signs his. Still not letting go of our girl.

"You do realise you need to put her back in the capsule for the car ride." He sighs.

"I know. But I don't want to let go of her." I smile and caress his cheek.

"I know. But you have to otherwise she can get hurt. I'll sit in the back with her okay?" He kisses my cheek and nods his head. We get to the car and he unlocks the back. I get in on one side and take the capsule from him once I am. I put it securely in place and he sets her down nice and gently int he backseat of the car. I double check how secure his buckling is and buckle myself in as he gets into the front seat.

"Sally will be so excited." I say smiling down at my girl.

"Yes she will. It'll be so different having a baby in the house." I smile and nod.

"It will be a good different." I smile and nod in agreement.

We get home and Sally has the house all decorated with welcome home banner in the living room. Both Xavier's mother and father are there. Oscar is there and so is Michael with Jaxon and Jemma. I gasp as I see my little sister and my parents as well. Sally just can't help herself sometimes. I love her for it.

We set the bags down and I walk over to everyone with Cordelia in my arms. The all crowd around me.

"She's gorgeous." My mother says. I watch as Xavier's mother watches in awe, nodding in agreement with my mum. She seems slightly hesitant so I turn to her.

"Want a hold?" She looks at me surprised and nods her head with a smile. She reaches her arms out and I hand Cordelia over to her. I watch everyone in the moment.

I don't think it can get any better than this. Right here. The people who mean the most of me in the one room.
