The Home Sequel (1/?)

So, here's my brand-spanking-new sequel to 'The home'

Summary: 5 years after the home, and Demi & Selena are going great.

Demi's POV

"Come on, Lottie, one more push." The midwife said calmly to the screaming Lottie. Lottie's 20, she got pregnant by accident, and put the baby up for adoption. Out of all the families she could've chosen, she picked us.

"Come on, Sweetie, once more, and she'll be here." Selena said from the opposite side of the bed. She was sitting on Lottie's left, holding her hand. She looked like she was in pain, I think her hand was being squeezed tightly.

"I can't, I need a break." She said panting. Selena squeezed her hand loosely, and whispered soothing words in her ear. Lottie pushed once more, and the sound of a tiny person crying could be heard throughout the room.

"Oh my god. I did it, I actually did it." She said tiredly. Selena and I looked at each other, and then at Lottie, she was sweaty, but she was smiling.

"Well done. I knew you could do it." I said with a smile. Lottie smiled back, and then the beautiful baby girl was handed to her.

"No, I can't hold her, give her to one of her moms." She said with a smile. The midwife nodded, and the tiny baby was handed to me.

She was so beautiful. Big blue eyes, a little tiny button nose, and a head full of wispy dark brown hair. She stopped crying when I held her.

"She's perfect. Thank you so much." I whispered as I ran my finger gently down her soft face. Selena walked round to me, and wrapped her arm around my waist. I grinned hugely, and started to rock the baby girl gently.

"You guys are gonna be amazing parents. I'm so glad I picked you, just the way she stopped crying when you held her, tells me she's gonna have a great life with you two." Lottie said with a smile. We both smiled back at her, and I walked a few steps to the chair, where I sat, holding our baby.

"Here." I whispered to Selena. She held her arms out, and I placed her in her arms. She smiled happily, and a small tear slipped from her eye.

"Baby, don't cry, I know they're happy tears, but I hate seeing you cry." I said as I wiped her tear away. She looked up at me, and kissed my cheek softly.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." I told her with a smile.

"Girls? We're going to take Charlotte into recovery now." A male doctor said.

"Okay, thank you. Lottie, you have no idea how happy you've made us." I said with a smile. She'd been great, she'd been staying with us for the past 3 weeks, so we could be there when she went into labour. She'd become like a part of the family.

"You're more than welcome, I hope you guys are really happy together. I'll visit you soon." She said as she was wheeled out of the double doors.

"You're more than welcome to come any time!" Selena called, just before the doors closed behind Lottie.

The room went quiet, except from the loud, short breaths of our newborn daughter.

"Ma'am, I need to take her to check her over, then you should be free to leave with her." The midwife from earlier said with a smile. Selena nodded, and handed her gently over to her. She thanked us quietly, and walked out of the room with her.

"I can't believe we're parents." She whispered. She seemed like she was still taking it all in. She seemed like she didn't believe it.

"I know, it's really happening for us." I sais as I hugged her tightly. She smiled, and we sat like that for half an hour, before the double doors opened, and the midwife walked in, holding our baby.

"Girls, you can leave, your daughter is totally fine." She said as she handed the bundled up baby to me. I smiled as I took her, and we both stood up. "Good luck, Girls." The midwife said with a smile as she waved to us. Selena waved back, and we walked out of the hospital to the truck we owned.

"I can't believe it. We have a daughter." I said as we sat on the couch, and our baby girl slept on my lap.

"I know, we have a daughter… a daughter who needs a name. Do you have any idea's" She said as she looked at me with encouraging eyes.

"Well… I was thinking… before you say no, just listen… I think we should call her Melinda, after Mel from the kids home. She helped us both a lot, and I thought it'd be a really nice way of thanking her, plus, she looks like a Mel." I said quickly, hoping to convince her. She smiled, and looked at our daughter.

"I like it. I think she'd be a great Mel, and I think Mel would be really happy. Plus, it might be a nice way to butter her up into perhaps… giving me a job there." She said, with a small smile.

"Hey, she said when we left that there's always a job there for either of us, I don't think she'll need convincing… but maybe we should take Mel with us, just in case." I said, as I looked at our daughter, who was still sleeping.

"Yeah, so, we're settled on Melinda for her name?" She asked with a smile, her eyes fixed on our baby.

"Yeah, Melinda." I agreed as I looked lovingly at Melinda.

A week later.

"Your turn." I mumbled quietly after being awoken for the 4th time that night by the crying baby girl in the next room.

"Okay, back in a bit." She muttered as she got up. The weight of the bed shifted, and then the bedroom door creaked quietly as she opened it. The crying stopped after a few minutes, and Selena came back after about 15 minutes.

"She lost her pacifier." She whispered as she climbed back into the bed, and wrapped her arm around my waist. I nuzzled my face into her neck, and kissed her softly, before closing my eyes to go back to sleep.

We were awoken again at 9.00, which was a pretty reasonable time. We both got up, and I went downstairs to warm her bottle in the bottle warmer.

Selena came down the stairs carrying Melinda, who was cuddled into Selena, with her eyes open and her pacifier hanging loosely from her mouth.

"Here you go, Sweetie, are you hungry?" I asked her as I took her from Selena, and sat on the couch to give her the bottle. Selena went into the kitchen, and came back out a few minutes later with two mugs of coffee.

"I'll put this on the table for you babe." She said, followed by the quiet sound of clay hitting the glass coffee table.

An hour later, and we were all ready. Melinda was strapped into her car seat in the backseat of the car, Selena was driving, and I was sitting in the passenger street.

We were going back to the kids home today, to visit, and hopefully get Selena a job.

Mark answered the door. He hadn't changed much since we were last there, 7 months ago, before we knew we'd be getting a baby. He smiled at me and welcomed me in.

"Demi! It's good to see you, come on in, where's Selena?" He asked happily. He was covered in flour, which made me guess that he was baking, or had been baking, with the kids.

"She's getting our daughter out of the car." I said with an unstoppable smile. Mark grinned from ear to ear, and hugged me tightly.

"Oh my god! Your daughter? You have a baby?" He asked, the smile evident in his voice.

"Yeah, our daughter, we adopted her, she was born a week ago. She's so beautiful." I told him proudly. He patted me on the back, then looked at Selena, who was walking towards the door with Melinda in her pram.

"She is beautiful." He said as he looked at her with a smile.

"Wow, you're both grown up now. Oh my god, Melinda's going to be really proud." He said as he was about to walk off.

"No, we wanna tell her if that's okay, where is she?" I asked as I looked around the hallway.

"In her office, go on through, you've been there enough times." He said in a joking voice. I tutted and rolled my eyes at him, before walked the short distance to her office. Selena followed behind me with the pram. I turned to her, and told her to wait there.

I knocked the door, and Melinda called me in.

"Oh my god! Demi! Hi, I wasn't expecting to see you today, how are you? Where's Selena?" She asked after I'd poked my head round the door.

"She's behind me." I said. I made a 'come in' motion with my hand to Selena, and opened the door fully. Mel gasped when she saw the pram.

"Oh my gosh! She's gorgeous, how old is she? What's her name? which one of you had her?" She gushed happily. I sat down on the same seat as I always sat in, and Selena got Mel out of her pram, before sitting down with her on her lap.

"She's a week today, and neither of us, we adopted her." Selena told Melinda, who smiled.

"We called her Melinda, after you, because you've been like a mom to both of us." I said with a proud smile. Melinda's smile grew as she looked at our daughter.

"Aww, that's so sweet of you… could I… could I hold her?" She asked shyly.

"Of course you can." Selena said as she handed her to her.

So, what do you think ?! :O
