Their Family

This is the sequel to Her Secret and again this has all be written in advance so it should be updated almost every day :) There has been a bit of jump in time between the ending of Her Secret and the start of this.


Chapter One

What a year it had been, if anyone had placed a bet that Ruth and Jay would be Dr and Mr Faldren then I think the odd's would have been off the scale. Someone had finally brought the hyperactive man-child down to earth and someone had finally melted the frosty Dr Winters, the world must be going mad.

'So would you like to come and meet the little one?' Jay stood with a grin from ear to ear as he led Liam and his Nan in and introduced them his daughter
'Come and meet Safia Ellen Maryam Faldren' The pair had been unable to agree on a middle name for the little one so decided to compromise and put a little bit of both of their families into this bundle of perfection.
'Oh Jamshid she is beautiful, she looks just like you as a baby' Pride was beaming from the old woman as she looked at the latest edition to her family.
'No Nan, that's all Ruth' He winked at his wife as they looked at the angel they had created.

Safia had her dad's tanned skin tone and gorgeous dark curls but had her mum's piercing blue eyes and soft features, which could entice anyone in with one look. She was perfection in both of their eye's.

'Hey, Liam do you want to hold your sister?' Ruth tried to encourage the you boy to interact with the baby, she knew that he had been through a lot lately but he was slowly starting to come out of his shell.
'Can I? I won't hurt her or anything?' He had a mixture of panic and excitement in his voice, he wanted to be the best big brother to his little sister that he ever could and made a promise to himself to always be there for her, no matter what.
'You are so like Ruth sometimes, I remember back when the mere thought of a baby would send shivers down her spine' Jay laughed as he gently passed the baby into Liam's waiting arms ever so carefully

After all the visitors had left, the doctor came into check on mother and baby to make sure that they were doing ok and Ruth couldn't resist asking what she had been dying to know for hours
'When can we go home?' She had a hopefulness in her voice, she wanted nothing more than to take Safia back to her and Jay's new flat. They had decorated the nursery in a delicate pale pink with matching bed clothes. Ruth knew that Safia wouldn't be able sleep in there right away but she was eager to show her daughter her new home.
'Is there someone who can pick you up Ms Faldren?' The doctor looked no older than Ruth but she was one of those doctors who didn't take an interest in their patients, if she had then she would have noticed the excited Jay jumping around the delivery room and also the fact that she has got Ruth's name wrong.
'First of all, its Dr Faldren and to answer your question my husband has just popped home to pick up some stuff' Ruth tried her best not to sound angered but she hated when people got her name wrong
'Apologies, well since you have someone at home then I can discharge you tonight, I shall sort out the paper work'
The doctor walked out of the room at the same moment which Jay returned with what looked like some high tech contraption, which was actually the pram which they had bought, holding an over sized teddy bear and an equally huge grin on his face
'How our my girls?' He walked over and lightly placed a kiss on both of their heads
'Great we are going home' Ruth had a smile almost as big as Jay's until she noticed the bear 'Where did that bear come from?'
'Oh I stopped by the ED to tell them our good news and generally gloat with some pictures of this little one and it was a gift from everyone. Hold on did you just say you were being discharged?' He looked worried, Safia was barely a day old and she was already being allowed into the world. His thoughts were interrupted by the jolly midwife entering the room with mass of paperwork in her arms
'So, mum and baby are ready to go home? Now do we have a cute little going home outfit?' She was an older woman, who if Jay was honest, reminded him of a female version of Charlie.
'Are you sure they are ready to come home so soon?'
'Could this little mite be going to a safer home? She has a nurse and a doctor for parents, what more can we provide here?' She laughed slightly as she showed Ruth where to sign on the papers 'Right you are almost ready to leave, but not before I get a picture of this little angel in her first outfit for my wall'

Ruth carefully dressed Safia in the most gorgeous little pink dress with a matching hat and booties which she had paid a ridiculous price for from one of those designer baby stores. It had been an impulse buy which she couldn't resist.
