This Love (A Stemily Fanfiction)

27. Days Like These

37 hours later.

Stephen's POV

I sat in the rocking chair in the living room with my son, who Emily and I had decided to call Junior. He was fast asleep. I hadn't left his side since he was born, I waited patiently for my mom to get here so I could head back to the hospital where the love of my life and our brand new baby girl was fighting for her life.

"Hey hun." I looked up and my mom was standing in the doorway. "You ready to go?" She asked.

I nodded and she helped me get Junior in his car seat. Of course I was still useless with only one arm and limping around everywhere, she had to do most of the work. I couldn't wait to be out of this sling and for my ankle to heal fully.

We got to the hospital and I went straight to Emily's room.

She grinned from ear to ear as she saw us walk in with Junior.

"How's my baby boy?" She asked reaching out for him.

I smiled. "He's perfect. How's our girl?" I asked.

"I'm waiting on the doc to come in with an update. She should be here any minute. They said I could go home as early as tomorrow morning." She informed me.

I placed him in her arms and she smiled down at him. I couldn't wait to see our baby girl and have us home all together.

A few minutes later the doctor was walking in with a nurse who was pushing the incubator into the room.

"How is she?" I stood up and asked immediately.

The doctor smiled. "She's doing very well, she started breathing on her own this morning and her color is a lot better. We want to keep her for one more night just to be sure that everything is okay. If all goes well she will be able to go home with mom tomorrow."

I sighed in relief. A huge weight lifted up off of my shoulders.

"Can I hold her?" I asked.

She shook her head. "I would love for you guys to be able to hold her, but she needs to remain in the incubator for at least 48 hours. We will check on her later tonight and see how things are going and like I said before if she is doing better than we will be able to let her go home."

The nurse walked over with some paper work. "We have names picked out already correct?"

Emily and I both nodded.

"This is Stephen Adam Amell Jr. and this is Sandra Diane Amell." I turned to Emily quickly when she said the names.

"I thought you wanted them to also have your last name?" I questioned.

She shook her head. "No. Its fine. I think that our little family is perfect just the way it is. We are all Amell's."

I smiled and kissed her.

2 days later.

Emily's POV

Today was my first full day home with the babies. I couldn't believe that this time had gone by so quickly. I wasn't able to do much on my own since I had to have a c-section. The recovery was going to be a bit more gruesome, but I was doing my best to care for all 3 of my babies.

Sandra, had come to stay with us until I was fully recovered so she could help with the kids and Italia had taken some time off as well to be able to take Mavi back and forth to her pre-school/daycare.

Stephen and I weren't due back for another two months but the moment we went back to work things were going to be hectic because we were going to be way behind schedule. We had maintained constant communication with Wendy and Marc about our return and although I loved my job I wasn't in any rush to be back.
