Brandon's POV
Callie is 8 months along and today is the baby shower! No guys allowed though. I was only in charge of set up… Lots of pink decorations and pink this and that…Callie was excited. We needed clothes and Diapers for the baby, and that was the main things.
"Brandon!" Callie hollered from her spot on the couch
"Yeah?" I came into the living room
"Are you leaving yet?" she asked the guest were beginning to arrive and getting food in the kitchen
"I can." I told her
"I just wanted to know if you would go to the house and set some stuff up that we got from your dad."
"Yeah sure babe." I kissed her
"The co-sleeper and the swing and rock-and-play, and the stroller and the car seat…it's a lot…take Jesus and Jude to help, and call your dad too." She told me
"Okay. Will do honey." I kissed her, got the boys and off we went.
I set Jude and Jesus to work on the rock-and-play, while I worked on the co-sleeper and my dad went to get the car seat installed at the car dealership. They knew the safest place for the baby so they were going to put it in safely. The co-sleeper was going to be on Callie's side of the bed, per her request. The rock and play was going to be on my side so I could also care for her at night.
"Hey Brandon…can you help us?" Jude came up to me
"One sec." I secured the sleeper to the bed; it simply could come down when it was no longer needed.
I helped the boys put their project together and told them they were better off figuring out the stroller. We have a stroller that the car seat snapped in but it also could be used when she got older.
I walked into the nursery and stared at the wall…I love my baby girl and I can't wait to meet her…
Suddenly my phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hey B, we are on our way to the hospital Callie's water broke." As my mom finished saying that I heard my dad pull back in with the car. "I'm on my way."
"Guys drop what you're doing get in the car. Callie's on her way to the hospital…her water broke." I saw my dad heading back to the car and Jesus and Jude rushed behind me.
"She's early…" I was a little panicked
"You were born at this time too. She will be fine." My dad calmed me
Callie's POV
I was surprised I wasn't in much pain…but that could be a bad thing. "Where's Brandon…" I sighed
"Right here!" he burst in the room nearly knocking Stef down.
"Babe…" I smiled… "Our little girls coming today."
2 hours later
It was quick and a lot more pain than I felt in the beginning, but it was all worth it to have her in my arms.
"What's her name?" everyone was in my room now. Talya asked.
"Everly Jane Foster." Brandon told them
"It's beautiful…and it fits her, she's beautiful…" Stef said
"Can I hold her?" Marianna asked
I handed her to my sister. "Hi…I'm your Auntie Marianna…I loved you before I knew existed…" she laughed "I can't wait to put you in all the pretty dresses I bought you…" soon Marianna handed her to Stef…then Lena…then Mike, Jude, Jesus, finally Talya… "Callie…she looks just like you. But with Brandon's eyes…She's gorgeous." She smiled
"Thanks Talya." I said
Soon everyone let leaving me and Brandon alone with our daughter. She was sleeping soundly in my boyfriend's arms. "She's finally here daddy." I smiled
"I'm glad mommy." We smiled. I didn't know how yet…I didn't know if we could even care for her…but I wasn't afraid anymore.
I watched my Everly sleeping in her father's arms…
Brandon's POV
Soon, Callie was fast asleep in the hospital bed. I asked the nurses if it was okay for me to walk around so Callie could get some rest. They asked if I wanted them to take Everly to the nursery and I said I would keep her. "Mommy is fast asleep Princess…we want her to rest don't we…It's just you and me time…"
They had a little room for fathers to come with the babies while the mothers slept. It was a little nursery type room with some rocking chairs and bassinets. I walked in and found someone I didn't expect to see… "Wyatt?"
He looked up from the child he was caring for. "B-Brandon...what are you doing here?"
"I'm here with Callie…she…she just had our daughter…" I held Everly just a little closer to me
"This…this is my daughter…I…I have a new girlfriend, her and me…well…we got pregnant and here I am…she's sleeping…"
"Oh…well…I…need to get back to Callie…she'll be waking soon and want her daughter." I turned to the door
"Wait! What's her name?" he asked
"Everly…" I said
"Caroline…" he smiled at his little girl
"Goodbye Wyatt…I hope Indiana treats you well."
"It has…she and I are moving there…we planned to a few months ago…but Sam got sick…she was here for almost a month."
Everly let out a small cry and opened her eyes. "I need to go…" I hurried from the room
When I got back to the room I noticed Callie was up and walking about. "Hey baby." I smiled
"Hey…I was just about to have the nurse's call for you."
"Your daughter is getting hungry." I told her as Callie crawled back in bed.
"Give her to her mama." Callie was such a natural and being a mother. It was amazing…
"You know I love you right?"
"You know I love you just as much?"
"And we love you more than anything our little Princess Everly." I smiled
Stef's POV
The morning after my first grandbaby was born we got a phone call from Brandon saying they were coming home at noon…they said they would stop here and get all the baby shower gifts.
I told them we'd meet them at the house with all the gifts. We had a welcome home baby girl banner and we planned to put it up here…before they moved out.
We were loading the gifts into the cars now. I was sad that they moved out even if they were only down the block. I hated knowing my oldest son was…out on his own…and a father!
I love Everly to death…but she…we…he had her out of wedlock and I just wished him and Callie hadn't been so…stupid.
"They aren't stupid Stef." Lena came out to the car with more gifts "They are in love…they have a beautiful
Family…"
"You always know what I'm thinking…I'm sorry…it's just I don't understand why they didn't listen to me." I expressed to her
"We didn't listen to your parents…or Mike." Lena gave me that look
"Oh my gosh…" I let that sink in "You're so right."
Callie's POV
I sat in the wheelchair with Everly in my arms; they were taking us to the exit where Brandon was pulling the car up. The car seat was already, but we would have to put her in down here because we didn't bring it yesterday. "Your first?" the nurse asked me as I just stared lovingly at my daughter.
"Yes…" I smiled
"She's the most beautiful baby girl I've seen in a long time." The nurse was an older woman
"Thank you." I smiled "Her name is Everly."
"Everly…that's beautiful. Fits her well."
We soon arrived at the car, Brandon helped secure Everly into the car seat, we put a rolled a blanket up on each side of her head to keep it from bobbing. I sat in the backseat with her despite Brandon's protests I told him I wanted to get a mirror so I could see her. "Brandon…can you believe she's ours?" I asked
"No…she's amazing…just like you." He smiled
"I love you." I told him
"I love you too. Both of you."
We rode back with just the sounds of our newborn daughter…she's so amazing…I'm completely in love. We were coming close to the house now and I could see Stef and Lena's cars which means everyone is here. Jude wanted to see Everly again so much it was killing him. I love my brother and I know he loves Everly…they all love her…I'm just not sure if they love me…I feel like this was all for the little baby that was inside me…they're niece and granddaughter…what about me?
A/N: Aw…looks like Callie is feeling a bit unloved…how can we fix that? Maybe a review? That will sure lift her spirits!
Write ya later! Bye!
