Surprised // A.I (completed)

Everything started to become a blur. As soon as Dr. Birk entered, she was yelling at the team of nurses then bent down to check me, her eyes widening, making me clutch Ashton's hand,

"None of you checked on her?!" She yelled at the nurses. All of them shook their heads,

"Well I don't know if you know but this baby is literally about to pop out" she yelled and started ordering them to get things together.

"Okay, next contraction, we're pushing" she told me. I nodded and gripped Ashton's hand. Ashton kissed my head multiple times before pecking my lips,

"Ready to meet our little boy?" He smiled. I nodded and that's when it hit,

"Push push push" Dr. Birk instructed.

And I did.

"Okay we're going to keep doing this. Push til 10 then a little break and push again" Dr. Birk grinned,

I looked up at Ashton and he already had tears in his eyes. I kissed his knuckles then was told to push again.

"Okay. Next time we push, he's gonna be here" Dr. Birk grinned.

"You're doing great babe" Ashton kissed me,

"Okay" Dr. Birk spoke and moved some things, "Let's push"

What felt like forever later, I heard cries and the small baby was placed on my chest, which immediately stopped the crying. I was already crying and Ashton was bawling.

"Hi baby" I smiled with a laugh and kissed the baby on my chest's head,

"Hi buddy" Ashton leaned down and copied my actions.

We were already so in love.

"Let's get this little guy and momma cleaned up" a nurse stepped forward. She first put a bracelet, which matched the ones Ashton and I had, on his ankle then removed him from my chest,

"Go with him Ash" I nudged. He didn't have to be told twice. He kissed me then followed the nurse.

The nurse helped me clean up then got me sat up in bed with some water,

"As soon as your son is cleaned up, they'll come back and do weight and stuff like that" she smiled then left the room.

****

I wasn't alone long when Ashton, a nurse, and our son came back.

"He's 5 pounds, 6 ounces and 17 inches long" the nurse measured,

"He's small" I smiled,

"He is, but he's as healthy as he can be" she nodded. Ashton grinned and our son was placed in my arms.

"Dad, do you want to fill out the birth certificate?" She asked. Ashton nodded and followed her.

I looked down at the baby in my arms. He already looked like Ashton. Then his eyes opened and my heart melted. Hazel. They were hazel,

"Hi buddy" I smiled. He grabbed my finger and moved his mouth,

"Mom, I'm gonna have you feed him" the nurse walked back, Ashton right with her. I nodded and she pulled the gown down and positioned my son and he began eating.

"We'll let baby finish eating then I'll come back and we will take your first family photo" she smiled.

Ashton was already taking pictures but he wasn't posting them or texting them out. Nobody knows that he was born yet.

"Can I hold him when he's done? They haven't let me yet" he asked, taking a seat on the bed next to me. I nodded.

As soon as our boy was burped, I sat him in Ashton's arms and Ashton cried all over again. I was too of course and I was taking pictures.
