"Look at how pretty she is," Serena said, it was the first day she and Nate brought Summer home and all they did was watch her, Serena had fed and changed her and right now the infant was in her mother's arms fast asleep while her parents marveled at her every move. "My pretty, pretty baby," Serena mumbled as she stroked the baby's soft cheek.
"Is she meant to sleep that much?" Nate asked pushing the blanket of his daughter so she could move her arms out. "Is she meant to jerk her arms and legs like that?"
Serena giggled and turned to her husband. "Yes to all the questions, she's a baby Natie, she needs her sleep and she kicks out like that kinda like how she used to before she was born."
"She's doing that pouty thing with her lips that you always do," Nate said and Serena almost laughed and shook her head.
"She does have my lips doesn't she?" Serena said looking down at the tiny girl. "It's weird, she's only a day old and she looks so much like us."
"Hmmm, I think she's meant to otherwise she wouldn't be ours," Nate said twisting his mouth a little and Serena felt a twinge of guilt but shook it of quickly and looked up at him waiting for him to say what's on his mind. "Can I wake her up?"
"No," Serena said laughing and poking his ribs. "When you are dying for sleep because she's keeping us awake at night, then you're going to regret wanting her to wake up."
"But I want to play with her," Nate said frowning, taking the baby's tiny fingers in his hand and leaning down to kiss them lightly, Serena bit her lip and smiled at him.
"Ok, why don't you hold her for a bit," Serena said moving to transfer the baby to his arms when he tensed. "What now?"
"I don't want to break her," Nate said, his eyes wide. "She's so tiny and … and what if I drop her."
"You won't drop her, you carried her at the hospital without breaking her," Serena said chuckling. "You held Audrey when she was a newborn."
"No you held Aud when she was a newborn I only carried her when she was like three months old and there were nurses and doctors at the hospital with Summer in case something happened," Nate said, his body still tensed at the thought of dropping the precious baby girl.
"Just trust me ok?" Serena asked and Nate squinted his eyes but nodded. "Good, now hold your arms like you did at the hospital." Slowly Serena moved the baby in her arms and gently eased her into Nate's, the baby squirmed a little when she was moved but relaxed when Nate finally did.
"She's poking her cheek," Nate said watching the baby's delicate fingers push gently into her face.
"See that's not so bad," Serena said wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. "Wake me up when she starts to cry."
"Ok," Nate said kissing her forehead, fully content with sitting and watching his two girls sleep.
When Serena woke up Nate was asleep, Summer was wide awake in his arms reaching her tiny hands up to touch his face. His arms were secure around the baby. Serena smiled and looked at them, she expected Summer to cry, she stayed with Blair when Audrey was a newborn while Nate was on a business trip and didn't want to leave his barely pregnant yet extremely fragile wife alone and she screamed every time she woke up, never content when the attention wasn't on her. Serena had to step in multiple times to allow Blair and Chuck to get a few hours of sleep, especially when the baby girl refused to let the nannies touch her.
Serena smiled, snuggled closer to her husband and wiggled her fingers at her grunting baby girl who looked like she was going to fall asleep again, the tiny baby grasped onto her fingers with both her hands and looked at her with sleepy blue eyes, Nate's eyes. Serena smiled, she never thought that she could love anyone so much, until Nate and Summer showed her how.
As Summer drifted back off to sleep Serena was hit with the realization that this could have been a completely different scene, she did a DNA test when she went for one of her checkups, Dan had been insisting and Serena just needed him to get off her back. It had thankfully proved what she knew all along but it didn't help her guilt. If Summer had been Dan's she'd probably be sitting in a different lounge right now, holding desperately onto her baby whose father she wasn't in love with, she loved Dan but she wasn't in love with him and she was pretty sure he wasn't in love with her either. Her life would be a mess if Nate knew what she'd done, what could've been.
Quickly she shook her head of those thoughts, right now she was sitting in her house with her sleeping husband and baby. Summer was Nate's and she'd always be so she pushed all thoughts and doubts that she had when they did the test out of her mind and buried it as deep as she could, Dan would never destroy this, Nate was one of his best friends, he wouldn't risk that again. There was no way this secret could ever get out, the doctor who performed the test had a lot of secrets that he didn't want to get out that she knew, the only way anyone would find out would be through her own stupidity.
Serena sighed and bit her lip as she ran her fingers lightly through Summers fine blond hair, the baby was sleeping soundly again, her tiny chest rising and falling with every breath she took. Serena looked at the time and realized that they hadn't been asleep for a long time but Summer's feeding time would be soon and that's when the baby would get fussy. She tilted her head up slightly to look at Nate's peaceful face, he must have been so tired, ever since she went into labor at 3 in the morning the day before he'd been awake, he got her anything she needed to make her more comfortable, he held her hand through her labor pains and finally Summer was born nine hours later, Serena had managed to get some sleep during the night when they kept her for observation but she was sure Nate didn't he was either watching over her and their newborn, giving their family updates, until now she guessed he hadn't slept at all.
Smiling she ran her fingers through his hair, moving ever so slightly to take Summer from his arms, Nate stirred when she took the baby from him, his eyes fluttering open to look at her. "Shit, I'm sorry I fell asleep," he mumbled sleepily.
"It's ok, I've got her, go back to sleep Natie," Serena whispered leaning down to lightly kiss his cheek, she figured he was too tired to argue because he was asleep as soon as the words left her mouth. Serena stood with the baby and grabbed a throw over, placing it gently over Nate's sleeping form, she wondered whether she should wake him up to sleep in the bedroom but she thought if she did that then he wouldn't get the sleep he needed.
Summer began to fuss when Serena entered the nursery, Serena sat in the rocking chair and bounced Summer a little bit hoping she'll calm down. She fed and burped Summer, rocking her gently before putting her into her crib to sleep. She switched on the baby monitor and took it with her as she made her way to her and Nate's room, she'd have maybe two hours at most before Summer needed to be changed.
Serena got into the shower and sighed when the hot water hit her tired and sore body, her mother said she'd be coming over to stay until Serena got used to taking care of the baby. Serena thought she was doing a pretty good job so far even though it had only been a few hours, they had two live in maids who would help if she needed it, but she guessed her mother wanted to be motherly for once, who was she to deny the help.
The shower was a great place for thinking which she'd grown to hate because all those fears and the guilt she decided should never cross her mind again seeped back into her mind, sometimes she wished the hot water would wash away her troubles. She kept assuring herself that nobody would spill her secret, that the doctor needed his secrets to stay in the dark more then anything else and that Dan valued his friendship with Nate as much as she thinks he does.
She got out the shower and dried her hair, pulling on her sweat pants and one of Nate's t-shirts, she needed clothes that would be loose on her body, easy to move around in. She stepped into Summers room again, the bright colors could make anyone feel happy, Summer was asleep in her cot, her hands were curled into tiny fists raised up to her head. Serena smiled, she had the perfect baby.
Nate was still asleep when she got back downstairs, he pulled his legs up onto the couch and was in a better sleeping position. She placed the monitor on the table and slipped onto the couch next to Nate, he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer as soon as he felt her lay down. He kissed her neck and buried his face into her hair. "Everything ok?" he asked and she nodded pulling his arms tighter around her, she didn't care that it caused her discomfort she just needed to feel him.
She had a beautiful baby girl she could hear breathing in the other room and she was in the arms of the perfect husband, Serena fell off to sleep with a smile on her face.
