Biker Baby

Chapter Eighteen

~Chapter Eighteen~

I finally get to come home after two weeks in hospital, I could have come back a week ago but i didn't want to leave Aneika, not yet.
She's still at the hospital but can come home in a few days so I've decided to come home and make sure everything is ready for her.
Holly or Kendra are always around me, Sams orders but I don't mind, I know I'm going to need the help and it does still hurt to walk, even though my cut is starting to scar.
'Take a seat' Sam tells me, helping me down on the couch. 'I'll go make you a coffee and then you can go do what you want to with Holly'
'Ok' I nod. I do have pain killers and the nurse told me it won't affect my breast milk but I'm still reluctant to take them unless Sam forces me to.
He comes back with a coffee a minute later and sits down beside me.
'What are your plans today?' I ask him.
'My plans?' He laughs lowly 'You probably don't want to know' I nod in understanding, knowing it's a club thing so I let it go.
'I want to go back to the hospital in a few hours'
'Ok, call me and I'll meet you over there' Sam tells me. 'You're both doing great'
'I know, I can't believe how strong she is' I say. I am truly proud of her progress so far. She's eating well and they're hoping to take her off oxygen today which I'm exited but very nervous for.
'She is my baby after all' Sam winks. I roll my eyes but smile at his comment.
'I can't wait to bring her home' I sigh. 'I miss her already' I pout.
'Me too baby' he nods. Were silent for a few minutes, both thinking 'Do you need help showering or will you be ok?'
Sam has been helping me shower and it is kind of awkward but then again we did have sex and I did just have his baby.
'I think I'll be fine' I nod. 'it doesn't hurt to stand anymore, just when I walk too fast or sit down or stand'
'Ok well I'll stay until you've showered, incase you need any help' I nod, not minding but hoping that I will be fine.
It's been super awkward and embarrassing, especially since my vagina is like a tap of the Red Sea. Really gross. But it has slowed down to a normal period flow so I'm pleased with that.
I go shower and only need Sams help to take my shirt off and put it back on, I didn't wash my hair but it didn't need it so I saved myself the hassle.
'Call me when you go back to the hospital, Mom will be here in five minutes' I nod and he gives me a lingering kiss on the lips before he leaves.
I smile and go to our room. The bed looks like someone has tossed and turned all night, Sams clothes are on the floor everywhere but other than that, it looks good.
I make sure the crib is ready for her and when Kendra comes over, she picks up her sons clothes since I can't bend down.
'That boy is such a pig' she mutters making me smile.
'He is' I nod.
Kendra and I both clean up the apartment and satisfied that it's good enough to bring Aneika home to, we go to the hospital.
Kendra Helps me in and I call Sam. 'I'm heading over to the hospital' I tell him.
'Alright, I'll meet you there'
'Ok' I say 'see you then' I wait for his goodbye and then hang up.
'How are you feeling?' Kendra questions.
'Still sore and tender but it's way better' I nod.
'It's so weird looking at you without that baby bump' she tells me. I laugh lightly at her comment and nod.
'I know, I forgot what I looked like'
'You will probably always have that slight flab on your stomach since you had a caesarean and all but other than that, you still look pretty hot'
'Thanks' I smile. I was proud that my stomach shrunk back to it's original size within the first week but I do still have some flab but I don't mind it being there, it came from my baby and I'm proud of it.
'Your lucky you didn't get any stretch marks'
'I know' I nod 'I was scared of that' I laugh.
We arrive at the hospital and Kendra helps me out. I don't need help walking in but she stays close. We go right for Aneikas room and I smile at her awake body kicking around. She isn't crying, just playing.
'Morning' the nurse comes to stand beside me and smiles at my baby.
'How is she?' I ask.
'Well the good news is, she can come out of the nicu crib today, we've been waiting for you and Sam to come back'
'He will be here soon' I smile. I am rather excited, I haven't got to hold her since she was born and that was only for a few seconds.
'You can even breast feed her' the nurse smiles 'we do want to keep her in for an extra day to see how she's coping outside of it but if all is good, she can go home tomorrow afternoon'
'That's wonderful news' Kendra beams.
'What is?' Sam asks coming to stand behind me. He runs his hand down my back and it stays on my lower back.
Kendra fills him in and then the nurse takes us in.
'You hold her first' I tell Sam. 'Once you've held her, I'll feed her and then Nan can have snuggles'
They take all the tubes from her face and she just lays there, looking around. I know she can't see anything past a few inches but I smile at how content she is.
'Alright dad, you can take her now' Sam looks a little worried as he looks down to her.
'You'll be fine' I say. 'Hold her head and her bum when you lift her' he nods and slowly picks her up from the crib.
'She's so small, I'm scared I'm going to break her' he says not taking his eyes from our daughter.
'You will be fine but if you drop her, I will kill you' I tell him seriously.
'Hello princess' he coos to her. 'I'm your daddy' he plants a small kiss on her cheek and she squirms a little from the stubble on his face.
I laugh and Kendra does too. I look to her and see tears in her eyes.
'Proud Nanna?' I ask her. She nods and hugs me.
"Proud of you too" she tells me.
After Sams half an hour cuddle, she wakes for food. The nurses help me get her attached properly and show me how to do it and I smile when she begins to suck her milk in.
I can't wipe the smile from my face and neither of us can take our eyes from the tiny baby in my arms.
Life is pretty perfect right now. I couldn't ask for anything better or more.
