A Few Minutes Later...
"What's his name?" Dr. McMahon asks Randy and I.
"Matthew Keith Calaway." I say.
"That's a great name. I'm going to fill out a birth certificate and then you both can sign it...ok?" Dr. McMahon asks Randy and I.
"Ok. When...when can I hold my baby?" I ask Dr. McMahon.
"You can hold him as soon as the nurse gets done weighing and measuring him." Dr. McMahon says.
"O...ok." I say. A couple of minutes later...After Randy and I finish signing the birth certificate, Randy hands the birth certificate to Dr. McMahon.
"Thank you sir. Are you guys ready to see your baby?" Dr. McMahon asks Randy and I.
"Yes." Randy and I say in unison. The nurse lays Matthew on my stomach and after placing my right arm on his back, I place my left hand on the back of his head and pick him up and set him down on my chest.
"Hey Matthew. My name is John. I...I can't believe you're finally here. I love you so much baby boy. I...I love you." I say as I start to cry.
"Can...can I hold him?" Randy asks me. I shake my head yes. Randy picks him up and starts rocking him back and forth. I look to my left and I smile at my Dad.
"You did great buddy." Dad says.
"Thanks Dad." I say.
"You're welcome son." Dad says.
"I'm...I'm sorry to interrupt your guys' little moment; but I...I have to clean you up and get you onto a new bed...ok?" Dr. McMahon asks me.
"Ok." I say.
"I...I have to take Matthew to the nursery in a couple of minutes...ok?" The nurse who weighed and measured Matthew, says.
"Ok." I say.
A Few Minutes Later...
"Alright guys, it's time for me to take Matthew to the nursery...ok?" The nurse says.
"Ok." I say.
"O...ok." Randy says. Randy hands Matthew over to the nurse and she places Matthew in a bassinet and starts wheeling him towards the door.
"I'm almost done cleaning you up...ok John?" Dr. McMahon asks me.
"Ok." I say.
A Few Minutes Later...
Dr. McMahon and a nurse just got done transfering me to a new bed.
"Dr. McMahon and I are going to take you to your room now...ok?" The nurse asks me.
"Ok." I mumble.
A Couple Of Minutes Later...
Dr. McMahon and the nurse wheel me into my room and after wheeling me over to the corner of the room, they hook me up to a bunch of machines and leave the room. Dr. McMahon told me she would be back in a few minutes to check on me.
"I'm really tired." I say.
"Me too." Randy says as he sits down on the make shift bed.
"Me three. I'm going to out to the waiting room and tell Mickie and Steve that the baby is here...ok?" Dad asks Randy and I.
"Ok. Are you going to come back to my room after you're done talking to Mickie and Steve?" I ask Dad.
"Ah...I'm going to take Mickie home and then I'll come back here...ok?" Dad asks me.
"Ok." I mumble.
"Get some sleep buddy. You too Randy." Dad says.
"Ok Daddy. Love you." I say.
"I love you too buddy." Dad says.
"Bye Mr. Calaway." Randy says.
"Bye Randy." Dad says. Dad walks over to the hospital room door, opens it, and walks out of the room. The door closes behind him.
"Good night baby." I mumble.
"Good night Johnny. I love you." Randy says.
"What?" I ask Randy.
"I...I love you." Randy says.
"Do...do you mean it?" I ask Randy.
"Yes baby." Randy says.
"I love you too Randy." I say.
"Night." I say.
"Night." Randy says. A few minutes later...I drift to sleep.
Woooo Centon goodness.
