"I love a boy..."

C pov

"they seem...i don't know..."  Shannon says, looking at the baby's eyes. "let me see"  i tell her..i grab my son  "oh,hi little prince..you're so beautiful..let me see your eyes". mmm...it's hard to tell what colors they are. "so?"  Shannon asks me..everybody is staring at me  "i don't know..they seem blue..but then, they seem brown.."  i shrug  "it's normal for babies..they're gonna change with months. after birth, their eyes are all the same"  Deb tells us. "but..June's eyes were so blue"  Shannon replies  "every baby is different"  she answers. "well, we're gonna have to wait"  i tell, touching his little lips. my wife kisses my temple  "he's the most beautiful little boy i've ever seen"  i nod  "he is..look at those perfect features..you're mommy's prince"  he yawns and i melt completely  "awww..i'm in love..he's perfection".

"Shan..."  she turns to me  "yes, baby?"  "i want to go home"  "mmm..you know how it works, babe.we have to ask the doctor"  "i feel good..i want my bed and our privacy" i tell her, looking at our little boy.she nods  "okay, i'm calling the doctor"  our lips meet for the sweetest kiss  "i love you so much..you're incredible"  i smile  "now, go". she exits the room, leaving me with our families and friends. John sits next to me and holds my hand  "how do you feel?"  Alex reaches us.. "i'm good.it's just that..don't get me wrong, i love this enthusiasm but...i want to be alone with him..and Shannon and June". they look at each other.then, Alex stands up  "okay,everyone..Cari and Shannon need some time alone with their kids"  "but..baby..we waited for so long to meet this little boy"  my mother tells with disappointment  "i know, mom..but,please..just..a day? i want to go home..and be with them..then, i promise you'll be with him all the time". she looks at my dad who just shrugs.. "come on guys,the girls are right..we basically invaded their house in the last two months.let's give them some time" Debbie says. right in this moment, Shannon opens the door..she looks around  "what is happening?"  "we're leaving you alone"  her mom tells her, smiling. they take their bags and jackets and start greeting us. Nina hugs me  "he's so handsome..i don't know how you make them so beautiful"  i giggle  "well, i have a little help" i say, nodding towards my wife. my best friend smiles  "she's so crazy about you. Bill found her talking with the entire hospital..she was telling people about your kids"  "really? oh, i love that woman"  i reply,chuckling.

when everybody left, Shannon comes back to me  "the doctor is coming"  "Nina told me what you did"  she changes expression  "what i did?"  i nod, smirking  "Shanbee,so proud of her family, talking with people"  she smiles  "i can't help..i'm surrounded by perfection"  "come here"  i pull her by the collar of her shirt.our lips move together..then, i wrap my arms around her neck  "i need to be alone with you"  "oh..please, Cari..i'm too sensitive right now..you know..a month of abstinence"  i bite my lip  "poor baby..unfortunately, your abstinence has to continue"  "i know..just..stay away from me". i look at her, amused, as she takes a chair to sit next to the bed..i lean over to grab her hand but my intentions of teasing her fail because the doctor steps in the room  "so, Cari..i have to check how you feel"  "okay". i open my legs, looking to Shannon who snorts and looks away. "obviously, you have to rest..but..you can go home in a few hours..we have to check the baby, too"  "sure"  the woman smiles  "he's lovely"  "yes, he is"  i reply, emotional, taking my wife's hand. "is he sleeping?"  "yes..i fed him..he met his grandparents and uncles and aunts..you know, the gay army"  the doctor chuckles  "okay. i think you can go home after dinner. call me in case of problems".

i look at Shannon  "i'm worried about June"  "why?"  "i don't want to leave her"  she smiles, caressing my arm  "babe, she's in good hands..we can't take care of anything else, now.i mean, he needs quietness and you need cure"  i pout  "but..she's my baby"  Shannon starts kissing me  "i know..i know"  "don't distract me"  she keeps kissing me  "no, i'm cuddling my baby".. i give up, surrounding her neck with my hands.
