"Bella you can do this!" Jasper said holding my hand. "I can't do this. It hurts!" I screamed out in pain. "You can baby. Trust me you can do this." Jasper tried to reassure me. "Another big push Bella you are almost there." Said the doctor. I took a deep breath before pushing as hard as I could. "You are never allowed near me again!" I screamed at Jasper through the tears and pain. I knew that I didn't mean it but at this very moment I couldn't care less. Child birth hurts like a bitch. Why did I not want the drugs? Suddenly the pain was almost gone and a cry was heard throughout the small room. "Congratulations it's a little boy." The doctor said holding up my son. He gently placed Daniel on my chest and a nurse came over to clean him up. "Hi baby boy." I said smiling and rubbing his little back. Then I felt something slip from inside me. "What was that?" I asked looking at the doctor. "You just passed the placenta it is natural. Now would dad like to cut the cord?" he asked and Jasper nodded going down to where the doctor had clamped the cord where my baby boy and I were connected. "Alright Ms. Swan. Elizabeth is going to take your handsome little boy to the nursery to get his first little check up and bath. Mr. Whitlock if you would like to go inform your families that it's a healthy little boy we are just going to get Ms. Swan cleaned up an into room 225 you are more than welcome to join us back there in about fifteen minutes your family as well if you wish." Doc said and Jasper nodded before giving me a quick kiss and then Daniel before leaving the room. Nurse Elizabeth came and picked up Daniel in a little blue blanket.
Fifteen minutes later I was being wheeled into my regular room. Jasper, Renee, and Maria were waiting. Amanda, the nurse that had brought me back to my normal room, looked around. "Wow I thought you guys would have more people in here knowing how sweet both of you are." She said and I laughed. "This is my mom and mom-in-law I guess the guys and Alice are in the waiting room or have gone to get gifts." I said and Renee nodded. "Savannah saw something in the gift shop and begged Emmett and Phil to go in there and buy her new nephew something special and you know Alice she wants to shop any time she gets. So where is my grandson?" Renee asked and I looked to Amanda. "Elizabeth will be bringing him in shortly along with some paperwork for the new mommy and daddy to fill out." She said before taking her leave.
Not even ten minutes later my room was full and we were waiting for Daniel to be brought in. "Knock Knock. I think someone wants his mommy." Came a soft voice at the door. Elizabeth walked in pushing a plastic bassinet in. "Here she is handsome." She said picking up Daniel and placing him in my arms carefully. "Are you planning to breastfeed or formula?" She asked and I smiled. "Formula will be easier when he spends time with his mema while his mommy and daddy finish school." I said and she nodded. "I will bring some bottles in because it won't be long before he is hungry." She said before leaving. "Well everyone meet Daniel James Whitlock. DJ this is your family." Jasper said as he sat on the side of my bed. "So daddy hasn't held him yet." I said before gently shifting DJ into Jasper's arms. "Oh I have got to take pictures so Maria and I can see who he looks more like." Renee said before taking a few pictures of Jasper and DJ before taking some of all three of us. "Mommy can I hold DJ?" Savannah asked Renee and I smiled. "You have to ask Jasper and Bella honey." Renee told her. Jasper looked to me and I nodded. "Make sure her hands are clean first. They say that for the first few months of an infant's life it is better to take every precaution there is to keep him from getting sick." I said and Renee nodded before taking Savannah to the sink to wash her hands.
Once Savannah's hands were washed Renee had her sit in the chair beside the bed and Jasper placed DJ in her arms. "Hold his head for him." Renee said as she squatted down next to Savannah. Renee snapped a few pictures of Savannah holding him before she wanted to hold him. Soon he was held by everyone and Alice just couldn't get over her little god-son and Emmett was funny holding DJ. "Emmett you aren't going to break him." Maria had said as we all watched such a big guy hold such a small baby. "He's so small though but I can't wait to be called uncle Em and through the football or baseball or whatever he's into with him. I'm gonna protect you little man with all of my life." Emmett whispered to DJ before kissing his little head.
Elizabeth came in about an hour later when DJ started to get fussy. "Okay so here are a few premade bottles , some new born diapers and wipes. Also I forgot to bring in this paperwork earlier. You don't have to fill it out right now but before he can be released from the hospital all of this must be filled out. It's for his social security card, birth certificate, and so that we have record that you do have a pediatrician for him. Do you have a pediatrician in mind?" she said as she set everything down and handed Jasper the premade bottle so he could feed DJ. "We haven't picked one. I'm not from here and I've only been here for a few months so I don't even know where to start." I said watching Jasper feed our son. "That's fine we have apediatrician on call and if you want I can have her come in and talk to you guys later about maybe taking him to see her and have her as his primary doctor."Elizabeth said and that's when Maria spoke. "Jasper's pediatrician is still practicing if you want to take DJ there." Maria said and Renee nodded. "I changed Savannah to her after the move and she is amazing." Renee piped up. "Well if you want to call her in she's more than welcome. Just give me her name."Elizabeth said. "Her name is Dr. Susan Boswell." Renee said pulling out a card. "Oh great. She's the pediatrician on call. She's actually on the floor right now. I can go track her down and have her come talk to you guys if you want." Elizabeth said and I nodded. "Thank you Elizabeth. I'll try to have all of this paperwork done soon." I said and she nodded before leaving the room.
By five in the afternoon Alice and Emmett had left. "Mommy I don't want to leave Bella and Jazz." Savannah said when Phil and Renee said that it was time for them to get back home. "We'll be back tomorrow morning to bring Bella and Jazz breakfast. And then the day after that they will be home with DJ and you can go over there when Bella needs help." Renee said and I smiled. Since meeting my little sister she and I have been two peas in a pod. Jasper and I bought her a horse and she named her princess. She spent a lot of time with us on the ranch while Renee and Phil moved into Maria's old house on the old ranch. Renee said that Savannah was so much like me when I was that age and that was probably why we got along so well. "Mommy is right Savannah. When DJ and I go home you are welcome to come over and either help me with him or you could help Jasper with the horses if you want." I told her and she smiled. "Okay Bella. I see you tomorrow." She said before coming over and having Jasper help her up on the bed to me. She gave me a hug and kiss before kissing DJ on the head. "See you tomorrow Savvy." Jasper said when she gave him a hug. "Love you." I said when she and Renee headed for the door. "See you tomorrow sweetheart." Renee said before disappearing with Phil and Savannah.
"They've got the right idea. I'm gonna head home too. I will see you three tomorrow. And Bella, get all the sleep you can while you're here because if DJ is anything like his daddy, he'll wake up every hour on the hour hungry." Maria said once Renee, Phil, and Savannah had left. "Jeez thanks ma." Jasper said laughing. Jasper shifted DJ into my arms before standing up and giving Maria a hug. "It's true. For the first year of your life I hardly ever slept." Maria laughed out. "I love you Jasper. You and Bella made one handsome little man." Maria said coming over and kissing DJ's forehead. "Thank you Maria. For everything." I said when she hugged me. "Honey that's what family is for." She said kissing my check. "I'll see y'all tomorrow after I make sure all of the chores are done." Maria said before making her exit.
"So mommy how are you feeling?" Jasper asked not long after everyone had left. "I'm feeling alright. Tired but alright. How about you daddy? Are you happy to have a little man?" I asked looking down at the little bundle of blue in my arms. "I am. It's like we were missing something before but now we are complete." He said before taking out his phone. "What are you doing?" I asked when he moved to the end of my bed. "Taking a picture so I can change the back ground of my phone to the two most important people in my life." He said and I just smiled and looked down to DJ who was sleeping peacefully. Jasper was right. We had been missing something when it was just me and him, something that we didn't really know we were missing until now. We were missing our little DJ.
