Chapter 6 – Family

Grace and Christopher were discharged from hospital after 24 hours, both were fit and healthy, thankfully everything was prepared at home, the nursery was fully stocked with an abundance of nappies and baby grows, and a few soft toys that Boyd seemed to return with every time he went to the shop for something. The room was painted yellow and white, with a border of tumbling teddy bears.

At home, Boyd wanted to do everything for them, as soon as Grace finished feeding Christopher, he would take him, wind him, change him, and then settle him to sleep again. Once the baby was settled he would take care of Grace, making her tea and food, running her baths, she was sure if he could grow breasts he would take over feeding the baby as well. Truth was Boyd couldn't get enough of it, he was a changed man at home, even when Christopher cried in the night, he was the first out of bed, and would see to him if he could, or pass him to Grace if he was due a feed.

Boyd took three weeks paternity leave, whilst Grace had six months maternity leave, and they were both enjoying being at home together all the time. They had even started taking Christopher for a stroll in his buggy in the afternoons, Boyd was quite happy to push the buggy, whilst Grace linked her arm through his and walked by his side.

"I can't believe he's two weeks old already, one more week and I'll be back at work."

"Oh, don't say those words."

"Will you be okay when it's just you two?"

"I think we'll survive" She replied whilst taking a seat on a bench that over looked the duck pond, Boyd parked the buggy in front of her and then took a seat next to her.

"I'm going to miss this, being with him all the time I mean."

"You could always take early retirement, become a full time Dad and house husband."

"Ha, we'd have to get married first." He said with a smile. After a couple of minutes silence he spoke again, "Do you want to?"

"Do I want to what?"

"Get married."

"Do you?"

"I think we're okay as we are, but if you wanted to I would."

"No, I think we're doing just fine." As she spoke Christopher started to cry, Grace lent forward and started to adjust his blanket slightly, which made no difference, So Boyd leant forward and picked him up, he immediately stopped crying. "I think he's going to be a Daddy's boy."

"I hope so." He said looking at her, he held the baby in one arm and placed the other on Grace's back, leaning in gently and kissing her it was a deep passionate kiss that they both seemed to become lost in, that was until Christopher started to cry again.

Just a short chapter to link to the next chapter, which will be up soon.
