Living the Now

Chapter 15

Carter's POV

When I woke up the next morning Papa was tending to Alena.

"Morning Papa" I said stretching.

"Morning Carter" he said. "The doctor said Kylie and the baby will be discharged later today, what's this little girl's name anyway?" He asked rocking her.

"Alena Grace" I said.

"Did she take Kylie's last name of ours?" He asked.

"After much argument with Faith she has our last name" I said.

"Alena Grace Simpson thats a beautiful name for a beautiful girl" he said.

"Thank you" I said. "Can I see her?"

"Of course" he said bringing her over to me.

She stared up at me with her blue eyes. Her ginger hair she got from Kylie was slightly curly.

"Hi sweetie I'm your dad" I said.

Kylie shifted around before opening her eyes and moving her long ginger hair out of her eyes.

"Morning" I said.

"Morning how's Alena doing?" She asked.

"Good you wanna see her?"

"Yes please" she said.

I passed her over to Kylie and a nurse came in.

"You have someone here to see you" she said.

"Okay" Kylie said. Then a moment later a man came in.

"I thought you weren't coming til Sunday Dad" Kylie said.

"I wasn't supposed to but my office closed today for some issues so I came down early, don't worry we aren't leaving til Sunday evening still" he said.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Daryan Carter's Dad" Papa said shaking Kylie's Dad's hand.

"Nice to meet you I'm Mark" he said then he turned to me. "You must be Carter, it's nice to meet you boy" he said shaking my hand.

"Nice to meet you too Sir" I said.

"Please, call me mark I don't like the formal crud" he said.

I nodded and then a woman and small child entered the room. I had never met them before.

"Dad? Who are these people?" Kylie asked.

"This is my wife Sam and her son Jax" Mark said.

"It's nice to meet you Kylie your dad talks the world about you" Sam said "it's quite unfortunate you had a baby this young, trust me I should know my oldest just graduated college I had him at fourteen as well"

"It's not bad I love my daughter and her father" Kylie said she grabbed my hand. We hadn't quite worked out what our relationship was yet.

"I'm so sorry where are my manner, I'm Sam Marks wife" she said shaking my hand then Papa's.

"It's nice to meet you I'm Carter" I said.

"And I'm Daryan Carter's Dad, it's such a shame I would really love for you guys to meet my husband" Papa said.

Him and Dad are always so open about their relationship it's sometimes not a good thing to be honest.

"I'm sure he's wonderful" Mark said.

A nurse came in a little while later with discharge papers. When Mark signed them we got all packed up and headed back to my house.

We agreed that Kylie would stay at my house because it's not that she didn't want to go home she wanted to spend as much time as possible with Alena before she left.
