As Stef sat in her hospital bed looking at her daughter who is her miracle as the baby is a preterm but very healthy and strong for only being born at 6 months. Stef wondered how Lena is going to act to this it was still a surprise to Stef that she was pregnant in the first place.

But Stef knew one thing her daughter comes first.

Her little Callie Marie Foster.

Chapter 4

House At Pooh's Corner

When Lena arrived at the hospital she was excepting to be sent to the ICU not the Maternity Ward of the hospital and given a wrist band with Stef's name on it.

When Lena reached the room she stopped in her tracks by what she seen in front of her. Stef was holding a pink blanketed bundle and singing

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

Lena didn't know what to feel in that moment as she watched Stef she was speechless and that alone was something else for her.

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
From here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

But as Lena watched she fell more in love with Stef. Lena silently walked in trying not to be noticed as Stef was singing to the bundle in her arms and the smile she had just melted Lena's heart even more yes she didn't know how to process this just yet but that didn't mean she'd leave Stef hanging or dealing with this by herself.

Help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Stef didn't notice Lena as she sat and sang to her little blessing the baby she realized made it through hours and hours of her drinking coffee and the times she didn't eat for a few days, the days she didn't sleep. She talked to the doctor and they said it was a miracle for the baby to even be here this early and in almost perfect health her daughter was 5 pounds and 21 inches long that if she made it to term with Callie that she would've been a big baby probably around 8 or 9 pounds. And that shocked Stef but here was her baby born at 6months and a strong little fighter. Stef's heart grew even bigger with this little girl who was just beautiful.

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered "Girl welcome home"

Stef still didn't know how Lena was going to act to this she was afraid to say the least that Lena would leave her with this to handle on her own. She knows they didn't talk about children or the future in general but now that the baby was here and a big surprise but also a happy surprise. Stef has doubts and worries that this will be too much for her girlfriend.

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh

As Stef finished the song she loved she looked up to see Lena standing in the corner of the room looking at her and her daughter. "Hi." Stef said to Lena as she looked back down to her baby girl. She heard Lena walk closer to the bed. "Hi honey how are you feeling? How's the baby?" Lena said as she looked closer at the bundle in the arms of her love. "I'm good shocked but good. I am sore but the doctors and nurses are saying it'll go away. And the baby she's doing good just have to watch her breathing when she was born she had labored breathing and she's born 3 months early so they want to watch both of us to make sure she's OK." Stef said. "What her name?" Lena asked "Callie Marie." Stef replied

"That's a beautiful name hun. Can I hold her?" Lena said and as Stef passed her Callie Lena was very careful with the baby who as she got comfortable again looked at Lena and then nodded off to sleep again. "She's beautiful Stef very beautiful. I was so worried when Mark called saying something happened to you at work and than hung up and then call back just to say what hospital you were being taken to god my heart was hammering so hard in my chest." Lena said as she watched Stef closely.

"I'm so sorry baby. I didn't even know I was pregnant and then the next thing I know my water broke in the bullpen and then I was pushing out this little baby and and I didn't even know and I could have lost her before I knew her or about her I'm still in shock from it all." Stef said through tears. "Stef she's here and it's fine. I'm here for you and her. I'm not leaving either of my girls you were my world even before she came into this world love." Lena reassured Stef and kissed Stef and then kissed Callie's little head.

OK so now we know they are all confused. But Lena wants to stay around and be there. And that Callie would have been a big baby lol.

Hope you enjoyed! Happy Mother's Day to you all!
