Goodbye Agony (Andley)

Chapter Twenty-Four- Andley

-3 weeks later-

Andy's POV.

I was laying in bed, listening to CC talk about something beside me. I was zoned out but I could still sort of hear him. I was still in the hospital as well as Quinn. I was still some what recovering from surgery, I was still sore but not that sore. My belly went down a lot, I look kinda like how I did when I was in the first few months of my pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, I was still chubby but I wasn't as big as I was when I first got to this hospital. I also haven't even seen Quinn yet. I wasn't ready to see him hooked up to machines and all. I was afraid of breaking down and crying when I saw him so I always used the excuse that I was too weak to get up and see him.

"Babe..?" I heard a voice ask. I looked up and saw Ashley standing over me.
"Oh uh hi babe." I said before running a hand through my hair. After a few seconds, I realized CC was gone. He probably went to go find a vending machine.
"The doctors told me that you'll be able to leave sometime this week." Ashley told me.
"What about Quinn?" I asked.
"It all depends on how he's doing, love." Ashley replied then kissed my cheek. I sighed softly before turning over and laying on my side.
"You know," Ashley began, " Jake still hasn't told me what happened when you went in to labor.. Why he was even there with you.."
"I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled. Honestly, I didn't want to tell him about how I was beat up and Jake had to save me. From the bruises left on my cheek, he probably already knew something like that happened. Ashley dropped it he didn't mention it again which I was grateful for.
"You think maybe today you can walk to the room where Quinn is?" Ashley questioned.
"No," I shook my head, "I'm too weak.." Like I said, I wasn't ready to see Quinn like that, breathing tubes down his throat, IV's hooked to him.. Just imagining it made me want to cry.
"Just try, love. I know you can walk over there." He pleaded but I didn't say anything, I stood quiet. After a few minuets of silence, Ashley kissed my forehead then walked out of the room.

"Andy.. Andy.."
I opened my eyes and looked around to see Ashley standing beside me and holding something in his arms. Something wrapped in a blanket..
"How long have I been asleep..?" I asked, sitting up.
"A few hours, it's already dark out." He answered.
"What is that.. In your arms..?" I questioned, pointing to the bundle that he was holding. Ashley sat in the chair beside me and held out the bundle in front of me. I saw a tiny little face, so peaceful and calm, poking out from the blanket. I felt the tears building in my eyes as I reached my arms out and Ashley placed him in my arms.
"He's beautiful.." I whispered, rocking him gently. I saw his tiny fingers poke out from the blanket which made me smile. Then, I remembered something..
"What about the breathing machines?" I asked.
"Doctor Jane told me that his lungs are much better and he doesn't need them as much as he did a few weeks ago. She said that he'll be able to leave sometime this week or next week. They just want to make sure that he'll be okay with out the machines. That's why I brought him over here because she told me he didn't need the oxygen machines as much and that it was okay to bring him here." Ashley explained. I nodded and brought Quinn up so that I could kiss his head. As soon as I did, his eyes opened and he was looking up at me. Ashley was right, he did have my eyes, they were a crystal blue color which fit him perfectly.
"Hi there Quinn," I smiled softly, "I'm your mommy."
Quinn closed his eyes and squirmed a little in my arms, looking as though he was trying to get comfortable. Then I remembered a song that he loved when I used to sing for him when he was in my belly.
"She sits up high, surrounded by the sun, one million branches and she loves everyone." I began singing and he stopped squirming uncomfortably, instead he laid still and looked like he was about to fall asleep again. I sang the rest of the song and a few seconds after I stopped singing, Quinn started crying and throwing a fit which caused me and Ashley to laugh a bit.
"Shh.. It's okay Quinn, mommy and daddy are here, don't cry." I whispered, rocking him back and forth gently, hoping to comfort him. He kept crying and squirming around in the blanket he was in. I sighed and started singing him another song called "If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn" by a band named Sleeping With Sirens. A few seconds after I started to sing, he stopped crying, instead he looked up at me, his eyes still glossy with tears. His bottom lip was poking out in to a cute little pout. I carefully wiped away the tears that still remained on his cheeks as I kept singing. I ended the song but he didn't cry, he just closed his eyes again.
"Well I guess we can already tell that he's going to be a handful." Ashley chuckled.
"I know," I smiled, "Be prepared to hear me singing all the time now."
"I don't mind, love. Your voice is beautiful." Ashley said softly before he placed a kiss on my cheek.
"Only a few more days then we can all go home." I grinned before leaning down and kissing Quinn's little nose.
"I can't wait." Ashley smiled.
