Chapter 34: Cutest Smile Ever

Chapter 34: Cutest Smile Ever

It took about a week before the hospital released Emily and Baby Beth from their care. Now walking through the front door, Daryl carries in the carrier, that had to me layered with blankets so Beth wouldn't fall out cause she's so tiny. When Beth gets in, she immediately unbuckles Beth and holds her close to her.

She hadn't really gotten to hold her this week cause of different NICU crap, but now she finally has the baby in her arms and swoon over how little she is.

"If you were a lil earlier, you'd be my lil Christmas baby..." She says as she gently sways back and forth while walking to the couch. Looking at the hold in her arms, she's barely the size of a loaf of bread. The diaper she's wearing is big and the clothes they had gotten for her are for giants compared to their lil 2 pounder. "Daryl can you grab me the baby blanket from the carrier please?"

"Sure thing, give me a second babe." He calls from the kitchen. Looking back down, the lil. Blue eyes baby stretches her little hands up and finds a piece of Em's hair off her shoulder. She tugs on it in her little fists and Emily is just so in love right now. "Her ya go. Mingus is coming home tonight and yer parents asked if they can fly in this weekend?"

"Yeah...isn't she so cute, Norman. Look at her tiny lil hands and feet all curled up." She plays with the babies gnaws and looks at Norman seriously. "Let's have another..."

"What? Wow now, Princess...its only been a week. We can't just hop back at it, it's not safe for you or the next one. I'm not saying we'll never have another baby. I'm just saying that we have to wait at least a year before going through this again." She frowns, but knows he's right.

"Yer right...I just love this feeling in the pit of me." He kisses her temple an rubs her thigh.

"I know... I feel it too. I think she's hungry." He says as they see the baby holding Emily's one breast and opening her mouth whiling cooing.

"You hungry? Huh? Let's see if yer daddy's right." She opens up her flannel shirt and slides out if her camisole and bra, with Norman's help. Taking her to her right breast, she holds her close and places her nipple in the babies mouth. She latches on and starts sucking, closing her eyes as she does and still softly making hungry cooing noises. "Ding ding ding, we have a winner."

"Even yer breasts are bigger than her...God I love this." he says and Emily gently throws a pillow out him, which he catches with no problem.

"Oo, hey, don't suck too hard now, Beth. I'm still attached ya know."

"Hurt?"

"Yeah...who knew a baby's suction would be so powerful...fsss, Bethy..." She crinkles her face up at the baby sucking hard on her tender nipple. "And I have to do this for at least 6 months...ahh, I don't know if that's gonna work...."

"We could use the breast pump. That's always an option, Em." He brushes back a piece if her hair and she smiles through the pain.

"I'm just going to pretend it gets easier and hurts less after the first few times."

"Until she starts teething." Emily's eyes go wide and Norman laughs and kisses her lips to distract her. "I promised my mom I'd call her when we got home, so Imma go do that now. You need anything?"

"No...a new nipple maybe..." She calls out and he responds like she expected.

"I'll keep an eye out for any signs. 'Nipples for Sale'. Haha."

"Asshole!" She calls before looking down at the baby, who's now feeding and looking up at her. "You enjoying this? Cause I'm not really feeling it. Haha...cutie."
