America's POV
I wake up in a rocking chair in the NICU, and I see Maxon sitting in the one next to me. I kiss his head and he stirs, and replies with a kiss. Its been 2 months since the babies have been born. They will be released today. And tomorrow is Friday, which means it will be their first report. I'm scared that a bright light will hurt them, a maid will drop them, or anything on my alphabetized list.

I guess I didn't realize I was zoning out. "America?" Maxon asks snapping me out of my daze.

"Yes?" I reply.

"Is something bothering you?"

"No"

"America, I am your husband, something is bothering you."

"Ugh Fine, I was just thinking of the report."

"Listen America, Gavril made it a short one, the accommodates the babies."

"Thank you Maxon."

"And plus first we have to make it through a night on our own with them."

"Maxon, we will not be on our own, Mary, Lucy, and Marlee, are always on call to help us."

"I know, but I want to do it on our own as much as possible."

"Maxon, you have to accept help."

"Listen, first night, no help. If it doesn't work, we use help the next."

" ok I guess." I roll my eyes playfully. That gets a laugh out of Maxon.

——time skip to the next night——
We've out all the babies in their beds next to ours. I gently lay down Hailey, then grab Sophie from Lucy and lay her down. Marlee gets Estelle and maxon gets shalom and Amberly. I go and crawl into bed with Maxon after dismissing the rest. "Ready for our first night of parenting on our own?" I ask Maxon.

"You know what, I think I am!"

"Alright we'll see how you handle a poop bomb at 3 am." That gets a laugh out of him, and a punishment of tickles for me.

"Good night my dear." I'll let it slide tonight.

"Good night my royal hubsandness." And we drift off into a deep sleep.............until midnight. Hailey wakes up crying, we both wake up. But Maxon being the kind compassionate human being he is, reaches her before I can even set both feet on the floor.

"America sleep, I got her."

"Are you sure? Cause I can take her!"

"I'm sure, go to sleep."

"Good night Maxon."

"Good night America." And I spend the rest of the night in a deep sleep, whole Maxon gives up his for my own comfort. He is TOO perfect.

Alrighty my mighty readers!
Sorry that my chapters are getting shorter, 3rd quarter ends soon. So my teachers are cramming in posts of projects. I realized right after I finished this chapter, that I forgot to continue about America's family coming. So I plan to edit the previous chapter to complete America's family visiting on Thursday.
