Chapter 10
Joyce smiled, relieved and happy as she sat in the hospital bed. Despite the scare and complications, the birth finally went through successful; Rachel was fine, strong and healthy. She cradled the baby girl in her arms; Chloe and David entered at that moment, both grinning, relieved.
"Mom..."
Joyce nodded. "It's alright Chloe, everything's fine."
They soon reached the bed; they weren't the only ones, they were soon joined by Max, Warren and Kate and Joyce knew she'd be expecting more guests.
"Here we are, meet Rachel."
Chloe and David both grinned, overjoyed as they saw the baby girl for the first time, she had a small tuft of blonde hair, her eyes the same as David's.
Chloe spoke breathlessly. "She's so small..."
Joyce almost wanted to laugh at that; it was hard to believe, due to Chloe's current tall, lanky build, but she too had been that small when she was born. Instead she simply basked in the happiness as the others also all gathered to greet the new-born baby girl, welcoming her to the world.
It had been a hard and worrying time, but in the end, relief settled in. David smiled softly as he parked the car out the front of his house. He turned to his wife, and their newborn daughter, nestled safely in her arms.
"Well, here we are." He said at last.
She nodded. "Yes, let's, let's go."
They got out of the car; David couldn't help but think back. He was still amazed they had made it, their new-born daughter Rachel was coming home, Chloe was already home, making sure everything was set up for their return.
'But the birth was difficult, long, Joyce...really struggled.' David recalled; fighting to control himself. 'I was, I was scared they wouldn't make, that, one or both of them would...'
It was a real fear, one which had nearly happened.
"David."
He turned, Joyce smiled gently at him. "Please, stop torturing yourself; Rachel and I are both here, we're fine, we are home."
He sighed but nodded, Joyce was right and she always could read him so easily. Together they entered their home, bringing their daughter home for the first time.
After the birth Joyce and Rachel had to stay in the hospital while the doctors performed tests and such to ensure both were healthy and okay, thankfully Joyce fully recovered and finally both she and Rachel had been released from the hospital, free to go home.
They crossed the threshold, David closed the door behind them, Joyce smiled as she looked around, moving Rachel so she could see.
"Here we are Rachel, welcome home." She said cheerfully.
The baby girl, eyes wide, took in her surroundings, amazed. David grinned upon seeing this and soon joined them as together they began to help their newborn daughter get settled into her new surroundings, as Chloe came to join them, grinning.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
