Sing For Me

I have something to tell you lad

"Well it looks to me like you are healing nicely Lisa so I think we can let you and little Freja go home" Harry says to me 

"Oh that's wonderful" I say to him 

"I bet you'll be glad to get home hey" he says to me 

"I wont lie, I miss Ben and the kids be good to be with them although I doubt I'll get as much peace at home as I do here" I say as we both laugh 

"Just remember to rest OK, you did have a pretty rough time of it honey" he says 

"I know and I will I promise" I tell him 

"And I'll see you for your baby clinics" he says 

"Yep great" he comes over to Frejas cot 

"Be good for Mummy now young lady do you hear" and I laugh "Take care honey" he says 

"Thanks Harry for everything" I say to him as he leaves

I go to get my phone out to ring Ben to tell him before he heads in for visiting I hear it ringing as I stare down at Freja wearing the baby grow I'd bought her in Nice fitting her like a glove. "Hi sweetie, we can come home, Harry has just been and discharged me" I tell him 

"Oh Darling that's great" he says sounding so excited. "I'm on my way now, see you soon" he says I get myself dressed still feeling really sore Harry was right I am going to have to take it easy no running around like a loon. I get my things together wanting to be ready when Ben gets here I just want to go home now to be tucked away to be safe it's surprised me how having Freja has taken the wind out of me,

"Hey" he says as he peers round the door with that adorable face of his that smile making me tingle inside, my darling, my husband my babies Daddy.

"Hey you" I say to him as he comes in 

"Are we all set sweetheart" he asks 

"I think so" I tell him. He's brought Freja's new car seat with him 

"Right then young lady, time to go home hey" he says smiling at her in her cot. He picks her up to put her in the seat

 "Aw she looks so tiny in there" I say to him 

"I know the little poppet" he says "There we go all ready my little darling" he says looking at me "How are you feeling baby" he asks 

"I'm OK" I say to him 

"Yeah OK and now the real answer" he says and I give him that look which he gives me back 

"A bit groggy" I tell him and he still he glares at me 

"Alright" I say putting my hands up 

"I'm tired and I don't feel I'm ever going to be able to sit down properly again" he laughs 

"That's more like it" he says "Its feet up for you when we get home, you are not to lift a finger to you hear me" he says 

"But Ben........" and he turns away pretending not to listen 

"Isn't that right my gorgeous girly" he says to Freja "Mummy is going to rest isn't she yes she is" he says putting on his baby bear voice that he used to when he used to talk to Freja while I was still carrying her. "Ready Sweetheart" he says somehow managing to carry everything and still carry Freja. We say goodbye to all the nurses on our way out.

As we step out into the daylight the late summer sun hits us, it feels strange being in the fresh air the place seemed new to me the last time I'd been here I was in such pain I hadn't really taken anything in. In a way it was daunting this was it going out into the big wide world. Freja closes her eyes the sun a little too much for her I somehow knew how she felt. "Alright Darling" Ben asks
