Rainbow pt 2

Amelia POV

Soft skin,sweet perfume,rosy cheeks,red little lips and ice blue eyes that rip my heart out of my chest,curly brownish hair,long black lashes. Tiny hands grasping on my skin, a little warm body pressed on mine. My son. He is MY SON. I'm still overwhelmed by emotions but I've never been more present than this in my whole life. It's just the two of us. We are in a room full of people but yet the only human who is attracting my focus is this tiny baby. A lot of familiar faces are around us: Addison who helped me a lot today and in the past 9 months,Link who is most perfect man I've ever met in my life, Maggie and Meredith who are debating to whom my baby looks more alike.
The only thing I can do now is watching my baby boy searching for my breasts,yawning and staring at me. The biggest emotions has been holding him for the first time: he was crying at the top of his lungs but the minute he heard my voice he stopped immediately. My son knows who I'm,he listened to my voice from the inside and he knows that in my arms he will always be safe.
"Link? Do you want to hold him?" I ask him shyly
"Will you let me?" He answers
Turning around to face him "he is your son" I smile to him,giving him the baby. He is a strong muscular man but holding our son he looks so gentle and soft.
"Hi sweet boy-I hear him whispering- I'm your dad,you know? I love you so much I can't describe it properly. Do you want to go back to mommy? Yeah? Do you love her,huh? Yeah,I feel you son...I love her too".
I've always been the type of woman who never says "I love you" because I'm too scared to lose my man again but honestly,Link is making my resolution a little weaker.
Addison comes next to me and sitting on my bed she asks to all the other people to leave for a while. Now we are alone and I feel the need to thank her for everything "Addie,thank you. So much"
"Amelia,stop...we are sisters and I'm more than happy to help you. I'm so amazed by your transformation: at the beginning I was a bit scared because I thought you would have been too afraid to do it but then you proved me wrong"
"I was scared too..." I admit "I wasn't sure if becoming a mother again was what I wanted but then Link made me realize that this would have been much different from the first time"
"He is perfect" Addison says watching my baby "and I'm so proud of you"
"Yeah...he is perfect" and overwhelmed by love I start crying "the first time nobody said this to me"
Taking my hands between hers she says "he was perfect for you,this was all that mattered that time. I bought him a thing...come on,open it" and she gives me a little box wrapped in ribbons and colorful paper.
"Would you mind?" I ask her giving her the baby
"Give me" she says excited "I gave you the present just to take your child...hi beautiful boy,I'm your auntie! Yes,auntie Addison"
Opening the box I feel tears forming into my eyes: a little green onesie with a colorful unicorn on it
"You shouldn't have to" I say to Addison sobbing "I...miss him"
"I know,Amelia...but he would be so proud of you now. His mom has her happiness now,he has a brother to keep safe" she answers while putting my baby back to my arms "look at him: he can't take his eyes off you"
And it is true,my baby keeps staring at me and almost unconsciously I start lulling him to sleep softly "I am here,angel...mama has you,sweetheart".
I've never been the woman who babytalks or says cute words to people but my son made me softer,much softer than I've previously expected.
"Can I sleep with him next to me? Is it dangerous?"
"Sleep in whatever way you want to,darling...nothing will happen to him while being in your arms...plus,Link will be here too"
"Thanks Addie..." I whisper while gently drifting to sleep.

Link POV
She is sleeping. Our son is sleeping wrapped between her arms. They are so beautiful that words aren't enough to say it.
This woman is the One. She is the kind of love that takes you suddenly. She is a challenge but she is the most precious human I've ever met.
Looking at them,I think about the past nine months: I will never forget,our first ultrasound,the minute she saw our boy she smiled big and her eyes started shining-that minute,I thought she was the most beautiful woman I've ever met. I will never forget the first time I felt him moving inside of her or the nights spent talking about him. I will never forget this day,seeing your child being born is a great gift and such a surreal experience. And in that moment,I've loved her...more than I've ever did in my life. She is the mother of my child.
Her face is peaceful with her nose pressed on our baby's forehead and a soft smile is painted on her mouth: she is in love,madly and our son knows it. He is holding her shirt with his tiny fists while staying close to her chest,searching for his mama's warmth and perfume. I gently lay down next to her trying not to wake them up. Wrapping my arms around them,I inhale her scent: it's something I've never experienced, there is vanilla but also something else. I would say that if love had a perfume than it would be Amelia's.
While caressing her soft skin I hear her whisper in her sleep "I love you too".
