Hey sorry It has taken me so long to post I just stared back to school and I am very busy, this chapter I did a little time jump, I hope you all are likening the story.
"Hey there little guy, are you ready to go home," Elizabeth looked down at the new little man in her arms.
It had been a little over three days since she and Henry welcomed a bouncing 9 lb. 4 oz. baby boy they named Jason Benjamin McCord.
Henry had gone to get a move on the discharge papers, while Elizabeth was telling their son all about how existed she was to finally be taking him home.
"I know your big sisters can't wait to meet you, I'm going to give you a little bit of a warning, your big sister Alison is not very happy about you getting her room, but don't let her get to you she will come around, and I promises I will not let her throw you out like she did your things" Elizabeth laughed at the memory
One day a few weeks ago Elizabeth was walking down the hall, she had just gotten home from work, Henry had said Alison was up in her room playing with her dolls, so Elizabeth was going up to cheek on her, as soon as she turned the corner, Elizabeth was almost hit with a pack of dippers that flew from the nursery, she looked down to find just about every piece of baby clothing, dipper, pack of wipes, blankets, had been thrown into the hallway.
"what in the world," Elizabeth climbed over the pile of stuff that blocked the way to the baby's room, only to find her youngest with a hand full of baby blankets.,
"Alison Erin McCord just what do you think you are doing." Elizabeth said sternly taking the blankets away from her.
"Mommy, I changed my mind I don't want a brother, I just getting his things out, he can't stay here, I would like my room back please" Alison said with a hand on her hip.
The weekend before they had moved around the bedrooms. with Alison's room being closest to Henry and Elizabeth's, they decided it was best for her and Stevie to share a room, they then made Alison's room the nursery, she knew it would be an adjustment but she also knew it had to happen.
"ok come here noddle," she placed Ali on her knee "baby I know sharing a room with Stevie is hard but I promises it will be ok."
"mommy she doesn't let me leave the nighty light on, she turns it off, I get scared, and she's mean, she says I'm a baby because I still sleep with my bear, I'm not a baby mommy? Alison said firmly
"no you're not, listen noddle I know it's going to take some time but you going to love sharing a room with Stevie, and I will talk to her about your night light ok."
"ok mommy? But can I ask you something"
"anything" Elizabeth smiled
"When my brother comes are you and daddy going to forget about me, Stevie said that when brother comes, I going to be left in the dust, mommy I don't like dust it makes me cough." tears filled her eyes
Elizabeth heart was breaking listening to Alison, she needed to reassure her daughter just how loved she was.
"oh baby you listen to me. Daddy and I love you and Stevie so much. nothing and no one will ever change that, we will never ever forget you, we have so much love to give, and we love you, Stevie and brother more than anything in the whole entire world to the stares and back,"
"WOW that's so far mommy"
"yes, it is, now if Stevie ever tells you that again, you come tell daddy or me ok"
"ok mommy, I love you"
"and I love you more then you will ever know, now noddle how about we put brother's things back in his room, and go find your sister and have a little talk with her"
"ok mommy" Alison took Elizabeth's hand with the biggest smile on her face.
Henry walked in the sight of his wife holding and talking to their new son, it made him fall in love with her all over again.
"hey babe you ready?" he asked
"Hey daddy, I think we are" Elizabeth said has she helped Henry but Jason in his car set.
"Look at him we made that." Elizabeth said placing a hand on her husband's back as they stared down at their son.
"I know you did good babe," Henry said placing a kiss on Elizabeth's cheek
"Me? you helped" Elizabeth said
"Hey I had the fun part, you went through all the hard stuff." He winked as his wife
"And I would do it all over again, it was so worth it," Elizabeth looked down at her son feeling so much love in that moment.
They made it home and settled, Elizabeth had asked friends and family, to give them a few days to adjust to becoming a family of five. there would be a time where people could come and meet the new addition, but for right now she just wanted it to be the five of them and bound.
It was late and the girls had not left Elizabeth's or the baby's side all night, they were mesmerized by their baby brother, Henry had told Elizabeth that he would take care of the kids and for her to take a shower and relax she dissevered it,
While Elizabeth was showering Henry had all the kids in the living room, the girls on either side of him and Jason in his arms, he looked at his three children, he was truly a blessed man.
Elizabeth walked down the stairs to her family, and stopped when she heard henry talking to their three sleeping children.
"I don't think the three of you realize how much you are loved, mom and I love you three so much, when I met you mom I knew in that instant she was going to change my entire world, and that she did. you and your mommy are my everything, I never knew what life or hell what love was before I met the four of you. I hope I am the man you all need there is nothing in this world I would not do for you all."
Elizabeth help back her tears before she went over to Henry and carefully kissed him.
"God I got lucky with you, you really have a way with words professor" she said as she carefully picked up along and sat down next to her husband Alison asleep to her chest.
"babe this is crazy we have three kids now did you ever dream we would have all of this" Elizabeth lay her head on Henrys shoulder taking everything in
"did I think I would be building a life and a family with the love of my life, yup I did baby, I dreamt it baby, I have been dreaming of this since the first day I laid my eyes on you, baby I am living my dream, and it's all thanks to you,"
"Henry McCord there you go with these words again. God I love you, I should be thanking you, you brought me back to life, I didn't know where I was going, what I was doing, after my parents died, then I met you, you showed me that it was ok to live again, and to love again, you and theses three amazing gifts you have given me are my everything, this life we have created together is something I never knew I wanted, but so damn glad I have, Elizabeth chocked out.
Their foreheads meet, then their lips touched with their children surrounding them they were reminded how truly blessed they were.
