After 6 hours we we're allowed to take Brooklyn home. Me and Nathan are talking to a doctor while Tom is putting her in a car seat.
"Okay, so your probably going to feel very tired for a few days so rest whenever you can" The doctor said
"Okay"
"And had someone told you about when to feed her and things like that"
"Yep"
"Okay then, looks like your feel to go"
We thanked him and Nathan picked up the car seat with Brooklyn in it and grabbed my hand, following the boys and Jayne out of the hospital. Outside there were loads of photographers, it was just crazy! I had just had a baby, could they not give us some space?
We made our way through the sea of photographers and into the van. I strapped in the car seat before sitting in between Nathan and Tom and resting my head on Nathan's shoulder. I looked at the time on my phone '11:00am' Brooklyn was born at 5 Am, so it had been exactly 6 hours. It was a long 6 hours. I went on Twitter on my phone and looked through my mentions.
Is it true you had your baby?
You bitch! I WANTED TO HAVE NATHAN'S FIRST CHILD!
You had a baby?
And many, many more.
I tweeted
Brooklyn Marie Sykes born at 5:0o AM this morning. She's beautiful, got her daddy's eyes (:
Will post a picture soon x
Tom leaned over to me and said
"Well done Kate, she's absolutely gorgeous"
"Thanks Tom" I said smiling and hugging him.
"Have people forgotten that I also help make this baby?" Nathan said, sounding offended.
"Well done Nath" Joked Siva
"Yeah" Said Max "You obviously fuck hard"
"MAX!" Scolded Jayne "There's little ears around!"
We all laughed and Max went really red.
"In my defence" He said "She's asleep"
Finally we were home and I carried Brooklyn inside and put her in a bouncy chair we brought a few weeks back and set it so it was laid down.
"I'm gonna go and have a bath" I said to Nathan "You need to feed her"
He looked at me blankly and just stared at me.
"You have no idea do you?"
"Nopes"
"Come on" I said, grabbing his hand and leading him to the kitchen. "I'll show you"
I made up the milk in the bottle and heated it up.
"Get it?" I asked
He nodded.
"Then you just have to wait for it to cool down"
"Then what's the point of heating it up?"
"Because it has to be warm but not hot"
"Riighhht…."
He wrapped his arms round my waist and pulled me close.
"Do you know what an amazing mum your going to be?" He said
"Do you know how popular our daughter's going to be?" I joked.
He leaned down and kissed me and hugged me tighter.
"I better go feed Brooklyn then" He said, with a huge grin on his face.
"You better had" I replied, also smiling.
He went back into the living room and picked up Brooklyn and went and sat on the sofa. I passed him the bottle and he took the lid off and started feeding her. It was just adorable. I HAD to get a picture. I took my phone out of my pocket and set the camera up.
"Nath" I said "Smile"
He looked up form Brooklyn and smiled, I took the picture and he went back to looking at her.
"I putting this on Twitter" I said and he nodded.
KatieSaysRawr: Daddy Nathan feeding Brooklyn for the first time! NathanTheWanted #ProudMoment xx
I went upstairs and got into the bath. It was the first time I had really had a minute to myself. And do you know what I thought?
Fucking hell. I just had a baby.
I don't know how long it was, but I felt myself being woken up. I open my eyes and see Nathan knelt on the floor next to the bath.
"You okay babe?" Nathan asked
I nodded.
"Did you feed Brooklyn?"
"Yep"
"Did you burp her?"
"Yep, then she threw up, then the smelliest thing ever came out her arse, so I left Siva to change her" He grinned.
"Couldn't even change your own child?" I laughed
"It was worse than when Tom stinks out the toilet." He said
"That's not humanly possible!"
"Apparently it is"
I laughed "What time is it?"
"Around 2, you had been up here a couple of hours so I wanted to see if you were still alive"
"Aww look at you caring weather I'm alive or not" I joked.
"Haha, come on, out" He said, holding my hand
"Ugh why?" I moaned
"Because my mum and sister are gonna be here in an hour or so and then we're going out for a nice meal."
"Ugh! I just wanna stay here" I said, pulling my knees to my chest.
"Come on" He said, rolling his sleeves up and lifting me out of the bath.
I rested my head on his shoulder as he carried me into our bedroom (which wasn't far because we have an en suit bathroom) and put me down on the bed before throwing a towel at me which I wrapped round myself. He came and sat next to me and I put my arms around him, resting my head on his shoulder.
"Do you know how beautiful you are naked?" he said.
"Do you know how sexy YOU are naked?"
"Maybe we could see each other naked tonight then" He said, grinning
"Maybe we could"
I smile and kiss him before the doorbell went and I sighed.
"NATH YOUR MUMS HERE" We heard Jay call from downstairs and I groaned.
"That was a quick hour" I said
"I didn't know they were coming so early"
He kissed me again before walking downstairs.
I sighed and went over to the wardrobe. I suppose I better look half decent if we're going out. I picked out some nice jeans and a red top. Slapped on some eyeliner, mascara and a bit of lip-gloss and shoved my hair up in a ponytail. I looked in the mirror. UGH! I look so fat! Can't wait to lose this baby weight. I sighed and went downstairs, suppose I better go and say hi to my future mum & sister in law.
"Hey!" I said to Susan (Nathan's mum… I don't know her real name. so it's Susan for the story. OKAY?)
"Hi darling how are you?" She said, getting up to hug me
"I'm great thanks" I said, awkwardly half hugging her back.
"You alright Jess?" I said to Nath's 14 year old sister
She nodded and looked around
"Where's Brooklyn then?" she said.
"Yeah Nath, where IS Brooklyn?" I asked
"Upstairs with Siva" He said
I nodded and went upstairs to find Siva watching TV while Brooklyn was laid on the bed.
"You alright Kate?"
"Yeah, just in search of my child" I laughed
"Oh, she's right there" He said, pointing over his shoulder.
"I can see that"
I went over and picked her up carrying her downstairs.
"Aww can I hold her?" Asked Jess.
"Umm.."
Since she was only 14, I didn't want her holding her because she might, kill her or something. Haha, protective mum or what? I didn't want to say so I looked at Nathan, who automatically knew what I was thinking.
"Jess come and sit next to me and then you can hold her" He said.
Jess went and sat next to Nathan and I carefully put Brooklyn in her arms.
At least she was next to Nathan. Nathan wouldn't let Jess kill her.
I was so tired. All I wanted to do was sleep. Susan was in the kitchen talking to Tom so I went and laid down on the other sofa. But then Jay walked in.
"Up"
I groaned and shook my head.
"Geeetttt uuuppp" He wined.
I shot daggers at him before sitting up so he could sit down.
"What's up?" He asked
"Nothing, just tired"
"Oh"
Then Brooklyn started crying so Nathan took her off Jess, and started 'Shh-ing' her. I climbed up behind Nathan and rested my chin on his shoulder and looked down at my red-faced, screaming daughter. My god. What have we gotten ourselves into?
