Chapter Seven; The Homecoming
Alright sorry about that, I've been very busy, anyway moving on! Hope you enjoy this next chapter!
"He really is so big, I just can't believe that he's been inside of me all of these months." Rose said softly while her son gazed back inside her eyes. "You know Michael, you were named after your Godfather Mickey. And your middle name was my maiden name that came back through our family for generations. I even met your great, great, great, grandparents. And your great, great, great grandfather was a very wonderful man, and he told me such amazing stories that I can tell you when you get older." She told him.
Just then suddenly Michael moved his little head and arms back and forth and started to fuss. "I think he's hungry." The doctor said. "Do you want to feed him?" Rose asked as she looked up at him. "Gee Rose, I don't know, I'm not very good with babies." He said. "Yeah well he's your son now so you'll have to learn how to hold him sooner or later." She told him. "Good point." He agreed as the baby gave another little cry while Rose gently placed him inside his father's arms.
"Ello Michael," the doctor began softly with a wide grin on his face as the baby started to settle down. "I'm your dad." He told him. "I'll go warm up his bottle for you." Rose whispered before she slowly got up. Suddenly there came a knock at the door. She smiled at her mother after she had gone to answer it. She had been holding Lilly in one arm and Johnathan in the other. "We were just wondering if you thought you were ready to have some company." She whispered softly. "Sure come in, the doctor's holding him and I'm about to make up his bottle." She explained as her mother carried the kids into the room.
The doctor planted a soft and tender kiss upon Michael's forehead before he grinned up at his other son. "Ello Johnathan, this is your new baby brother Michael." He explained as Jackie set him down and he climbed up on top of the bedside. "Ello Michael, my name's Johnathan. It's a pleasure to meet you baby brother." He told him as his father stifled a laugh before turning to kiss the top of his head. Rose finished up heating the bottle and gave it to her husband before they exchanged a kiss on the lips.
"Alright here you go son, soup's on." He told him as he placed the rubber nipple up to his lips and he started to drink it up. Jackie took some pictures of the baby with her phone while he ate. "Aww he's doing what Rose used to when she was a baby." She began while Rose simply just rolled her eyes. "Oh God, here we go again." She said as Michael's eyes slowly started to close. "What? Rose used to fall asleep when she was eating?" the doctor inquired. "Oh yes, all the time. One time her head fell inside the cereal bowl." She explained as the doctor simply just chuckled.
"Mother!" Rose cried with a horrified gasp. "What? Am I embarrassing you?" she asked her. "Just a bit." She answered crossly with a nod. "Well, I'm sorry but you've got to admit that it was kind of funny." She told her. "Yeah, well not from where I'm sitting!" she snapped with a fold of her arms as Michael finally finished his meal. "Well it looks like Mikey is about ready for his nap now. Come on Johnathan." Jackie said.
"Oh Grandma do I have to go?" he whined. "Yes your brother needs his rest lad, and so do you if you want to help your mummy and daddy take care of him when it's time for him to come home." She answered. "Well, alright." He began before he bent down and softly kissed the baby's forehead. "Goodbye Michael, I love you." He told him. "Aww,.." Jackie said before the baby let out a fairly large belch. "Well I know for a fact that he loves you too even if he can't say it yet." Jackie said before she lifted him up inside her arms and kissed his cheek before quietly carrying him out the door with his aunt.
"Well Rose, do you want to put him down for a nap now?" The doctor asked her as she just simply turned her head and scowled at him. "Oh come on sweetheart, you're not still upset are you?" he questioned. "It wasn't very nice of you to laugh at me." She told him as she continued to have her arms folded while Michael started to fall asleep inside the comfort of his father's arms. "Oh come on Rose, you know I would never laugh at you, I was laughing with you." He told her. "Yeah, well you can't really call it that since I wasn't laughing now can you?" she asked. "I'm sorry sweetheart," he began as he bent over to kiss her forehead.
"But if you just give me a second to put him down inside his cradle then I think I have a way to make it up to you." He said as he stood up and slowly carried Michael over to the cradle before setting him down inside it. Then he removed his sonic screwdriver from his pant pocket and aimed it at the door causing the door to lock tightly. He then slowly turned back around to face her with a grin. "You're very smooth, do you know that?" she asked him with a grin.
"Well, yeah,.." he began with a nod. "obviously yes since you agreed to marry me and we ended up making a baby together." He answered as she placed her hand in front of her mouth and stifled a giggle. "Come mere you." She told him. "Good, I thought that you would never ask." He said as he ran back over towards her and leapt inside the bed next to her. Rose continued to giggle as they wrapped their arms around each other's necks and continued kissing passionately while running their hands down each other's bodies.
…
"Alright Michael." The doctor began a few days later when it was time for them to leave the hospital. The baby looked up at him while he strapped him inside his car seat. "It's time to take you home. That way you can also meet everybody else." He told him. "Don't forget to turn it around backwards." Rose told him. "Yes I know Rose, I've been a father before remember?" he questioned her back irritably as she simply just scoffed and rolled her eyes at him. "Yes Master, whatever you say." She said sarcastically. "There all finished." He said before he shut the back door and got into the driver's seat and Rose got into the passenger's seat and they started driving back to their house.
A whole welcoming committee was there to greet them when they came through the door. "Do you got his car seat alright?" the doctor asked his wife. "Yes, I'm fine." She answered as she smiled up at the banner. It had said; "Welcome Home Michael" in dark bold letters. "Alright now Johnathan gets to hold him first since he hasn't yet and he's his big brother. Then Mickey gets to hold him next since he was named after him." The doctor explained as Doc started rushing towards the door.
"Oh great heavens! Somebody grab ahold of the blasted creature!" Jackie cried. "Oh, don't worry he's alright, let him see the baby, he won't hurt him." Rose assured her as she set the car seat down on the carpet. Doc started to wag his tail as he sniffed the tiny creature strapped inside of it. Then he gave him a little lick on the cheek before trotting away. After he had finished Rose unstrapped the baby and lifted him inside her arms. "Alright Johnathan, are you ready to hold him?" she asked as he nodded."Then go over and sit on the couch and I'll give him to you." She told him as he rushed over to the couch and sat down. "Now make sure to support his head." She told him as he sat down and she slowly placed the baby inside his arms.
