Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter, This one might be a little intresting. Spolier: New characters will be revealed! Anyway, Here we go!
April's POV
So. It's been like 3 hours and I'm very anxious. I stared at the clock when my phone rang.
I answered it. "Hello?"
"Hello, Miss O'Neil. This is Dr. Stevens," He greeted. I scrambled out of my seat and stood up.
"Dr. Stevens! Hi, is everything ok? How's Zoë?" I asked.
Shuffle. "Everything's alright! In fact, I called to tell you that you can come and get her. She's fine." Dr. Stevens explained.
I let go of the breath I didn't know I was was holding and smiled gratefully.
"Ok, we're coming now. Thank you so much Dr. Stevens."
When I ended the phone call, I started to lose my crap. I speed-walked to the back and barged into Raph's room.
"Raph wake up! Wake up!" I yelled as I shook him.
"W..What? What is it?" He muttered, starting to wake up. I jumped on the bed and scooted closer to him.
"..They're releasing Zoë. She's OK," I breathed.
Raph turned and smiled. I smiled back.
Our baby is ok.
Heh. This what it feels like to be a Mom.
Later
Everyone is awake and I just told them the good news.
Then the doorbell rang. "I got it," Leo said and headed for the door. I looled up frok the bag I was packing.
He opened the door.
It was Karai.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" She adressed.
"Hi, Karai. It's not really the best time." Leo said. "We, um, have to actually go to the hospital."
"Why?" She asked.
"It's a very long story..."
At the Hospital
Even though the Doctor said she was gonna be Ok, I was still nervous.
And it didn't help due the fact that Karai was still eyeballing me. This girl...
The doctor approached us with Zoë in his arms. I smiled and rushed over to wherehe stood.
Zoë looked fine but was currently snoozing. I slowly took her from his arms and held her close.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Stevens. We are grateful." I thanked. Raph stepped up beside me.
"No problem. Remember, she is allergic to peanut butter. Keep her away from it." Dr. Stevens warned. "Her throat is still sensitive but she'll be fine in a couple of days."
I smiled and looked down. Zoë cooed and snuggled closer into my chest.
After finishing up with Dr. Stevens and signing papers, she was ready to be discharged.
I let Raph hold Zo on our way back home and for some reason Karai still kept staring at me.
"An explanation, please." She announced.
I realize that this is a pretty long story, but Right now I'm just glad my baby's fine.
Later~When we got home, I went to the nursery to try to feed her. Soon after a few futal attempts, she finally latched on.
I watched Zoë. Her eyes were closed and placed her tiny hand on my chest as she continued feeding. I held her close.
It's these moments that count.
..And at that moment, the door opened. Karai stepped through. I remained still, fearful that if I move I might upset the baby.
"Hey, you..." She started, looking at me. "You OK?" I nodded.
The baby cooed and kept on feeding her. A precious little thing she is.
"What's her name?" Karai asked. I glanced at her.
"It's Zoë," The baby suddenly stopped and unlatched, signaling me she was finished.
Once I was decent, I shifted my attention towards Karai.
"Pretty name," She commented. "So...How old is she?"
I sighed and bounced Zo slightly. She gurgled quietly.
"A month." Silence.
"Can I hold her?" Karai finally asked. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Knew it was coming.
I nodded and gently slid the child into her arms. Zoë whined a little but calmed when I smoothed a thumb over her cheek.
"She's so...Tiny," The girl commented. I smiled and watched the baby.
She slowly awakened from her sleep and blinked. And she started crying.
"What's wrong? What did I do?"
"She has to get used to you. Hold her like this." I guided. I gently pushed Zoë closer to her chest.
"Hold her close so she can hear your heart."
Kaei hesitated for a second but then looked down at the baby. Her cries started to decrease.
"Don't worry, she'll get used to you." I said. After a few minutes of letting ger hold her, I interrupted.
"Sorry, it's just I got a test tomorrow and it's kinda important So..." Karai blinked.
"No, I get it. I have to go anyway. Work's calling." She said handing me Zoë. I smiled.
"I guess we'll see you soon."
"Yeah, bye." And with a follow up farewell, She left.
"Ok," I sighed turning to Zo. "I have a test in the morning. So how about you spend some time with Daddy."
Zo let out a small coo and snuggled against me. I walked over to where the boys were and handed the baby to Raph.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"The back. I have a test tomorrow. Watch her." I said and headed to the room.
I shut the door behind me and down at a desk. In the background, I heard clattering and crying.
"Mikey, get that out of her mouth!" I heard Raph yell.
"I just want to see if it fit!" Mike yelled back.
I groaned and put my head on the desk. It's gonna be a long week.
