My Little Family

Aden Joel Adams

TWELVE HOURS LATER...

Chrissy's POV

The moment Aden was laid on my chest all the pain, all the nerves I was felling flew out the door. It was just me and him in that room. Nothing else mattered at that point of time.  The nurse laid him on my chest and that's when I took a deep breath. Have I really been holding my breath this whole time? That's what it felt like anyways. I looked down at his beautiful face. His head was full of tight dark brown curly hair and his eyes were wide open. Big and brown just like Ally's eyes. He was finally in my arms.

"You did it baby...he's here now love." Ally says to me kissing my forehead with her right hand smoothing down my hair and her left hand lightly rubbing Aden's smooth back. "I love you so much baby. I love our family so much."

I finally looked up into my wife's big beautiful brown tear filled eyes. She honestly didn't even have to say anything because her eyes spoke for her and that's when I started to cry. No I wasn't sad, or anything like that. Just in that moment, the moment my wife and I made eye contact all my feelings came intact and I felt such a strong sense of belonging. There was nowhere else I needed to be.

"I- I'm just so ha-happy and in love with our fa-family." I say with tears running down my face. The nurses and my doctor are all in the room doing there job but all I'm focused on is this little boy and my gorgeous wife. "I'm not pregnant anymore...Thank you Jesus!" I have to laugh at that because we all know how hard this pregnancy has been on me.

"Nope baby... you're not pregnant anymore" Ally and the nurses in the room laugh with me as they know what I mean."He's perfect baby." My wife bends down and kisses Aden's soft little head.

"Ok Mrs.Adams...Lets get this little guy cleaned up." Aden lets out a small cry as the nurse lifted him off of my chest. Oh it was so cute. His little face scrunched up and the wails began. "Oh man buddy, you sir have some strong lungs don't you?" The nurse was so gentle and loving with him. As I'm sure she is with any of the babies she handles. "After we get him all cleaned up mamma...we will run some test and then he's all yours. Nurse Taylor will be in soon to show you a few things about breastfeeding."

"Sounds good. Thank you so much." I say to the nurse. Ally and I are truly great full for all of the nurses and the doctors who have helped us.

"The test won't hurt him right?" Ally asked with a slight concerned look on her face. She was already starting to act like a mama bear.

"No problem! And no, none of the test will hurt him. We will be checking his hearing, eyesight and his joint movement. Just all the basics. We'll also weigh him and measure him. By the looks of it I say this dude is a good 9 pounder."

"See I told you he's going to be a big butt!" I say with a smirk on my face.

"Cutest big butt baby I've ever seen..." My wife says eyes glued to Aden.

Squeezing Ally's hand as I notice her not taking her eyes off of our son. "Is it possible for Ally to go with him?"

"Definitely! It's actually better when a parent joins us for testing. They keep the baby calm and it gives us better results." The nurse caught Ally's eyes letting out a reassuring smile.

"Are you sure baby? I don't want to leave you." Ally looks at me rubbing her hand on my cheek.

"The test are done just down the hall.Not far at all." Our nurse says putting Aden in his roller away bed.

"Baby Ill be fine! Go be with our son. He needs his mommy." I take Ally's hand placing a kiss on it. All she needed was my word. She kisses my lips a few times and walks over to Aden.

"Lets go then baby boy. Mommy is right here with you."

They walk out to the testing room as another nurse walks in going through all I needed to know about breastfeeding.

Ally's POV

I have never loved my wife as much as I did the moment she gave birth to our son. I have never witnessed anything so magical and beautiful. Looking down at my sleeping boy, as they weigh him my heart has never felt so full. He's so perfect! His small little button nose,to the wrinkles on his feet. Just perfect.

"Ok, lets see...Mr.Aden is 9lbs 5oz and is 20inches tall."

"Dang papa you're a big boy! No wonder why Mamas back was always killing her."I say rubbing his little naked belly.

"Yes he is. That will surely do it. Your mama sure did feed you well." The nurse moves to wrap him up in his little receiving blanket. "Now lets get you back to your mama so you can eat huh?" Aden lets out the cutes yawn followed by a small squeak.

"Can I hold him back to the room?" I was eager to get this little boy in my arms.

"Sure you can! You're his mommy." That phrase will never get old. The nurse places him in my arms. I move him closer to my chest so he can hear my heart beat. Man there is nothing like holding your own child for the first time.

"Ok baby boy. Mommy's got you. You are safe and I won't let anything ever happen to you." I place a kiss on his head and just take in that new baby smell. I can feel him calming in my arms as his breathing has matched mine.

"Oh he definitely knows who mommy is." The nurse says walking us back to the room.

"Aden tell mama you're ready to eat." I turn him around with his head and back leaning on my chest. His butt was in my right hand as I placed my left hand on chest and under his chin to keep his head balanced. "Mama I'm ready for some boobie milks. Im's a hungry boy and I needs to eat." I speak in a small baby voice as if it was Aden. Chrissy sits up with a huge smile on her face with her arms wide open.

"It that right little man? Are you ready to eat?" Chrissy takes him and gets him situated. He latches on with no problem what so ever. He's a little champ! "Oh you sure are hungry." Getting more comfortable she leans back as our baby boy feeds away and looks at me. We meet each other's eyes and she mouths.

I love you

"I love you too baby." I say enjoying the fact that my family is complete. "And welcome home Aden Joel Adams." Nothing but love for my family.

This was hard! I know its nothing much just a lot of fluff but you have to start somewhere right? Let me know what y'all think.
