The Price of Love

Sydney Michaels

We're finally home and I'm excited to get into full mommy mode. No nurses and doctors bothering me and my baby every 10 seconds.

Once we were settled in, I grabbed the baby and his bottle then went into our room. It's so hard to put this little angel down. I tried to have him sleep in bed with me at the hospital and the nurses quickly stopped that. I was so hurt, Chris had to stop me from crying.

I understand why they don't want you sleeping with the baby though. You're so exhausted after giving birth and that's how babies end up dying from you rolling over on them.

So I'm going to TRY and keep him in his crib but right now he's going to chill with his mommy.

Chris walked into the room with my bag and put it away then came and sat next to me. He tried to pull Ace out my hands but I turned away while shaking my head no.

"Give me my son dawg." He laughed.

"No, leave us alone, this is the most alone time we've had since being in that hospital." I nuzzled my nose against his neck to get that sweet baby scent.

"Well since you wanna be like that, would you mind if I go hoop with the boys? I've been stuck in a hospital for a week, I need some fresh air."

"You got fresh air on the way home."

"Baby."

I chuckled. "I guess you can go and just leave us here all alone." I poked out my bottom lip.

He leaned over and kissed it. "Awww, don't be like that. Just a couple hours baby, I'll be back before you know it."

"Okay, I'm tired anyway. I guess we'll take a nap."

"Sydney make sure you be careful with him if you fall asleep."

"Chris I'm not going to roll on my son."

"Just be careful, Alright."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

Shaking his head, he got up and went into the closet. About 15 minutes later, he came out with basketball shorts and a red shirt. "Alright, I'll be back. Call me if you need anything. I love you." He tried to kiss me but I moved. "Sydney don't start."

"Goodbye Christopher."

He waved his hand at me, kissed the baby then walked out the door.

"Well Ace, it's just me and you. Wanna watch some movies?"

He just stirred in his sleep. This boy was his father all over again. I kissed his little cheek before relaxing in the bed and cutting on the TV. As soon as I found a movie, I cut it on but I wasn't even able to enjoy it because I was sleep in a matter of minutes.

Taking a seat on the bench I grabbed my Gatorade and drunk half of it. Man I was out of shape.

I gained a bunch of weight while Syd was pregnant because we damn near lived at the fucking Cheesecake Factory and after that we'd take a nap. Eating, sleeping and fucking was what we did until that 90 Days stuff started then it was just eating and sleeping.
