chapter Seventeen

Later that that afternoon.

John finished calling everyone to yet them know that Marlena had the baby.

Everyone is going to come by to visit, her and the baby, later in the day.

John decided to join Marlena back in her room.

When he got back in the room he saw that marlena was still sleeping.

Marlena's hands were lying on top of her chest and her cheek was against her pillow as her blond hair was laying across her other cheek.

John goes and sits down on the chair that is beside marlena's bed and he smiles at her.

John moved marlena's hair away from her face and behind her ear with his hand and then planted a light kiss on her cheek.

the room was interrupted by a tiny cry in

the bassinet that is on the other side of Marlena's bed.

John gets up from the chair where he was sitting and he walked over to the bassinet and then he picks up evan and cradles him close.

shhh... Its ok, little man, daddy's here, john said to his son.

evan reached out his tiny hand coming in contact with his daddy’s nose.

John smiled down at his newborn son and he went through evan's facial features as he running the tip of a finger down his tiny nose.

john worked his way down memorizing everything about his baby son.

john looks at Evan's tiny feet which were covered in frilly blue socks and he gently pulled one off.

Your mommy's toes, evan, you have your mommy's toes, thank goodness.

John whispered to himself as he puts Evan's sock back on as he looked at his daddy.

But you have, your Daddy's fingers though.

john whispered to evan and he kisses his little hand.

John, now looks at evan's eye's to see what color of his eyes are, but they are to early to detect any colour yet.

Marlena hears John talking to their newborn son and she smiles sweetly.

John saw that marlena was awake and he walks to her side and he bends down to kiss her.

Welcome back, sleepy head he said to her.

Hi, handsome, you know how much I love you?.

Marlena asked her husband as she looking into his eyes with a big smile on her face.

Yes, I do But, I love you more, sweetheart and I am so proud of you for working hard to bring our son into the world and you did a wonderful job, john told his wife.

Marlena smiles at her husband as he sat down beside her on the bed and he is still holding evan in his arms.

Marlena looks over at evan who is in his Daddy's arms.
