Chapter 9
Kenzi's eyes slid open to see Dyson standing in the middle of the room bouncing Ellie in his arms gently and making smiley faces at her. Kenzi smiled and watched him for a few more minutes before sitting up, Ellie was a good baby, and she slept all through the night which was a miracle to Kenzi, because she enjoyed her sleep.
"Morning." Dyson said.
"Morning." Kenzi said stretching her arms over her head as she sat up. She walked over to Dyson and peered down at Ellie.
"Morning baby girl, thank you for letting me sleep all night." she said poking her nose gently.
"I went ahead and changed and fed her." Dyson said. Kenzi looked up at him, slightly shocked.
"You know how to do all that?" she asked.
"I've been around a few babies in my many years of life." He said. Kenzi chuckled and nodded.
"So, come on Dyson, you have to name DJ. Poor thing, everyone is just calling him little man." Kenzi said. Dyson sighed and smirked handing Ellie gently off to Kenzi.
"Fine, let me think." He said. Kenzi nodded and closed her mouth as she looked down to Ellie and made faces.
"Ellie El." Kenzi said gently.
"Shit I don't know Kenz." Dyson said. Kenzi sighed and decided to help out.
"Was your father important to you?" Kenzi asked.
"Not really." Dyson said.
"Who is a man in your life that was important to you?" Kenzi asked bouncing Ellie a little. The doctor knocking on the door brought them out of their thinking.
"Good morning." He said.
"Morning." They both said.
"So is the little man ready to get out of here?" The doctor asked.
"You tell us doc." Dyson said.
"I'm going to take him with me, check him out and we will have your answer in a few minutes." He said. Kenzi and Dyson nodded as the doctor opened the incubator and carefully lifted DJ out and took him out of the room. Kenzi smiled down to Ellie.
"Brother is going to be back soon, he might be joining you in the crib. How excited are you Ellie?" Kenzi smiled. Ellie made some gurgling noises and Kenzi smiled up to Dyson, he appeared deep in though.
"What you thinking about?" Kenzi asked.
"Important people in my life." He said smiling. Kenzi nodded and looked up at the clock, he wouldn't have to leave for another half an hour so Kenzi was hoping they brought little DJ back before he had to go, she carefully laid Ellie back in her crib and turned to Dyson.
"Hey, before I get too distracted here." Dyson reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, he unfolded it and pulled out the key resting inside.
"This is the key to the house, and these are the instructions, and this number on the bottom is to the security system. Just punch that in when you go inside. The house is furnished but there's no food or baby stuff, like cribs, blankets, toys, diaper, all that stuff. So here, take my card and buy whatever the house needs. I haven't been there in nearly a year but there is a maid service that comes weekly and keeps it clean." Dyson said handing her the paper, key, and his card. Kenzi smirked, she felt like he was her sugar daddy, giving her access to his money.
"My pin code for the card is the same as the security code for the house. Just buy whatever you need. Also the bedrooms are furnished so just pick a room you like and get whatever you need for it. Like girl stuff, just anything you need. Oh and here." Dyson dug around in his pocket and pulled out his phone. Kenzi was about to laugh, she had never been given access to as much money as Dyson had. She watched as he scribbled down another number onto the paper.
"This phone number is a friend of mine. Call him when you get ready to move stuff for the baby rooms, just tell him I told you to call and he'll be right there with his crew and they'll move whatever you need." Dyson said.
"Um, ok." Was all Kenzi could say. Dyson trusted her with his money to purchase things for the children. She knew she was going to need some serious help so she planned on calling Bo, Lauren, and Trick immediately after Dyson left. Trick would come stay with the babies while Kenzi, Lauren, and Bo got everything done. A knock at the door made Kenzi's breath catch in her throat. A nurse and the doctor returned to the room. The nurse holding little DJ in her arms as the doctor moved to the incubator and began unhooking it. Kenzi's heart fluttered to her throat.
"Dyson." Kenzi said grabbing his arm.
"You little boy is doing wonderfully. Everything looks great, we're going to put him in the crib with Elysia and monitor him for a few more days. If everything is still good on Friday, then you two will be taking these little ones home." the doctor said smiling. Kenzi could not help but clap her hands quickly.
"Would you like to hold him?" the nurse asked. Kenzi practically shoved Dyson in the rocking chair as the nurse leaned down and placed him in his arms. Kenzi felt the tears again, coming to her eyes. She shook them off and picked Ellie back up and kneeled down next to Dyson.
"Ellie this is your brother." Kenzi said smiling.
"Jaxon, his name is Jaxon." Dyson said.
"Jaxon, this is your sister Elysia." Kenzi said.
"Jaxon was my brother, killed in battle, defending me." Dyson said slowly. Kenzi smiled up to him as tears slid down her face. Dyson smiled as he looked down at his son rocking him gently.
"Smile." the nurse said. Kenzi looked up noticing her phone in the nurse's hands. Kenzi just smiled and looked back down at Ellie as the nurse snapped the picture.
"Aw, that's better anyway." The nurse said. She handed the phone to Kenzi and it made her heart clench. She and Dyson, each holding a baby, each looking down at the baby with love filled eyes. Kenzi didn't want Dyson to leave, but she knew the time was fast approaching.
"Here, let me have her, I know you want to hold him." Dyson said smiling. Kenzi nodded and stood, she didn't know exactly how they did it, but like the nurse had told them, some things were instinctual, Kenzi carefully slid her arm under Jaxon and Dyson put his other one under Ellie and in a second they were switched. Kenzi smiled down at Jaxon.
"Hello there little man. Hi, you're so handsome, so so handsome." Kenzi said bouncing him a little.
"Hello." Dyson said. Kenzi looked up to see his phone pressed to his ear and she frowned. She could not wait until they found this guy so he wasn't constantly called away.
"Yeah, I'm coming." He said. He hung up and slipped his phone back in his pocket.
"You going to be ok with both of them?" he asked.
"Oh yeah." She smiled.
"Ok." He placed a kiss on Ellie's forehead and eased her down into the crib. He moved to Kenzi and kissed Jaxon's forehead as well.
"Bye guys." He said gently.
"See you tonight." He said placing a kiss on her cheek. She smiled and nodded as he left. She bounced Jaxon once more and put him back in the crib before lifting her phone.
"Hello?" Bo answered immediately.
"Hey there, guess what?" Kenzi said.
"Um, I don't know what?" Bo asked with a chuckle.
"Jaxon is out of the incubator and in the crib. Doc said if everything goes as planned they'll be home by Friday." Kenzi said.
"Jaxon?" Bo asked.
"Yeah, that is what Dyson decided to name him, after his brother."
"Oh, well wow, that's great! Wait, home as in Dyson's crappy loft?" Bo asked.
"Actually no, will you guys come up here, that's something I need to talk to you about." Kenzi said.
"Yeah sure be there in like half an hour. Want some breakfast?" Bo asked.
"Sure." Said Kenzi.
"Ok, see you in a bit." Bo said. Kenzi closed the phone and decided to jump in the shower while the babies slept, she pressed the call button and a nurse was there in seconds.
"Everything ok?" she asked.
"Yeah it's fine, I'm just going to jump in the shower, will you keep an eye on them?" Kenzi asked.
"Of course." She said. Kenzi nodded and went to the shower, needing a way to get her mind off Dyson. She felt like her feelings for him were beginning to return and that scared her, she didn't want to fall for Dyson again, she loved him as a friend, but would she ever be able to love him as more than that after everything that had happened?
"Just pick one!" Bo pleaded as Kenzi inspected the cribs in front of her.
"You shut up." Kenzi said. She had been relieved after leaving the hospital, not realizing fully how much time she had spent there. Not that she didn't love being with the babies, but she was happy to get away for a few moments. Bo had been really excited for Kenzi after she told her she was moving in with Dyson. Mostly because she knew Kenzi would not be alone and she and Lauren could finally get a nice place and be together. They had gone by the house and Kenzi had been awe struck. It was gorgeous, a lot nicer than Kenzi had expected consider who owned it. Lauren had informed her that Dyson had hired an interior designer to do the house and that's why it looked so nice. She didn't know exactly why Dyson had bought the house, she guessed that maybe he had bought it when he first moved here thinking it was a good idea and just had never had any use for it. She had chosen her room, a large room, not the biggest in the house but the second largest; the huge canopy bed in the middle was what had attracted her to it, then after she had jumped on it and decided that it was the most comfortable bed she'd ever laid on it solidified her decision. It helped a lot also that the bathroom was nearly as big as the bedroom, not to mention to Jacuzzi type bathtub in the middle. Also, the walk in closet was a perfect fit for all her clothes. After going through the house and writing down everything she needed they had headed to the store. Kenzi had big plans for the baby's rooms, not that she planned on telling Dyson or anything. Bo and Lauren had offered to do all the decorating and painting for the rooms which made Kenzi very happy, so now her only job was to pick out furnishings. Which just so happened to be very difficult, much like shopping for clothes.
"Kenz it can't be that hard." Bo said crossing her arms.
"I'm reading all this crap; have to make sure they are safe." Kenzi said glaring at Bo.
"Fine, do your thing." Bo said going over to where Lauren was loading buggies with diapers, formula, bottles, and all other things baby.
"Ok." Kenzi said turning to the man helping her.
"I want this one and this one." She said. The man nodded and helped her lift the crib sets into the buggy.
"Finally!" Bo said. Kenzi chuckled as they headed to check out; they had so much crap Kenzi didn't know how in the world they would fit it all in their vehicles.
After giving everyone their instructions Kenzi returned to the hospital. She had been at Dyson's house all day, organizing things, telling people where to put stuff, painting the baby rooms. Kenzi was tired and ready to sleep. She had left the babies with Trick after he told her he did not mind at all. But she was ready to get back to them. The sun was easing down behind the clouds as she opened the door to NICU room 1 and she was immediately greeted with the crying of Jaxon. She smiled to Trick who was rocking him.
"How long has he been crying?" she asked.
"He actually just started." Trick said.
"Here, I'll take him." Kenzi sat down her fresh bag of clothes that she had grabbed from the crack shack. She tossed Dyson's bag on the bed, she'd stopped by his place and grabbed him some fresh stuff, and took the small baby in her arms.
"Hey there buddy, what's wrong." She said looking down at him. His cries stopped quickly as his eyes opened up to Kenzi.
"Well hey there. Did you smell me?" she asked sweetly. It made her smile just thinking that Jaxon had been crying for her.
"I have a feeling they are both going to take after their daddy." Kenzi said referring to their sense of smell.
"That'd be nice."
Kenzi turned around to see Dyson at the door. She chuckled as Ellie started whimpering.
"You're back early." Kenzi said as Dyson stepped inside. He and Trick shared a few words before he stooped down and lifted Ellie up. She stopped whimpering and just cooed at him.
"Yeah, we got eyes on the girl. Confirmed her being there. Went to see The Ash, he's given us a go order as soon as we can get to her with the least casualties possible." Dyson said.
"I'm going to head home." Trick said.
"Ok, thanks for watching them Trick." Kenzi said.
"My pleasure." He smiled. He waved to Dyson and left the room.
"He watched them?" Dyson asked slipping Ellie back down in the crib.
"Yeah, I got all the shopping and stuff done today for the house. Just getting their rooms ready. He watched them while Bo, Lauren, and I got all of that done." Kenzi said
"Good, good. What about your room?" Dyson asked. Kenzi carefully passed Jaxon to Dyson and he rocked him for a few minutes before placing him down in his crib.
"I got the one across the hall from the master bedroom. The one with the canopy bed." She said. She reached over to the window and used the strings to close the blinds that were allowing the sun to shine over the babies.
"I figured you'd like that one." He smiled.
"Oh yes, I loved it actually."
"Good, did you get everything you needed for your room." he asked.
"Yeah I did. I grabbed you some fresh clothes from your place too." She pointed to his bag.
"Thanks. I'm going to hop in the shower." He said. She nodded and began fixing two bottles of formula for the babies. They would wake up again before bedtime and be hungry. They were practically on a schedule already and Jaxon had fallen in step right behind Ellie. Kenzi finished the bottled and grabbed her pajamas out of her bag. She stripped her shirt away and her pants and stuffed them down in her bag. She was just pulling on her pajama bottoms when the bathroom door opened. Shit, shit, shit, she said over and over again in her head.
"Sorry." Dyson said turning his head quickly. Kenzi played it off and laughed.
"It's not like we haven't seen each other naked or anything." She smiled and turned to face him pulling her pants all the way up and grabbing her shirt. She was stopped though because Dyson was standing there naked except for the towel thrown carelessly around his hips. She jerked her shirt over her head quickly as he side stepped her and grabbed his bag. His scent filled her nose and her knees wobbled as she looked down at his toned body. She moved away from him quickly begging one of the babies to cry so she would have an excuse, so her hands would be busy with something besides touching Dyson. He chuckled at her joke and headed back into the bathroom with his bag. Kenzi let out a breath of air and sank down onto the bed. She realized quickly she was very sore from all the lifting and stretching she had done today. The bathroom door opened again as she stretched her arms over her head and groaned loudly.
"What's wrong?" Dyson asked sitting down on the bed next to her.
"Just a little sore." Kenzi said.
"Where?" Dyson asked.
"My back and shoulders mostly." She said liking where this was going, she knew Dyson and she knew what he would say next.
"Here, turn around." He said. She smiled and turned letting her back face him. His hands gripped her shoulders and began massaging her, rubbing his thumbs into the sore spots and massaging away the pain. Warmth spread through Kenzi's body and her head dropped letting her chin rest on her chest as she moaned softly. His hands were truly amazing and she loved it. He slid his hands down her back along her spine and continued massaging until all the pain was gone and she felt like she was about to pass out.
"Thank you so much." She smiled as his hands moved away. She turned around to face him.
"Hungry?" he asked.
"Very." Said Kenzi.
"Hospital cafeteria food?" he asked smiling.
"Why not." She laughed. They exited the room quietly and stopped at the nurses' station.
"We're going to grab some dinner from the cafeteria, we'll be right back." Dyson said to the nurse sitting there. She nodded and smiled and they left for the cafeteria. Kenzi didn't really care about getting close to Dyson, she wanted to be close to him, but she needed to make him understand she was not about to let herself get back into a relationship with him, her heart was under strict lock down by order of her brain.
