The morning Michelle woke up to fine the Nurse checking up on her.
"Oh sorry just ignore me" The nurse said writing stuff down on the board on her bed.
"Oh no its fine eh will I be able to feed her yet" Michelle asked picking up her baby who was wriggling around in the cot Steve had put her in last night.
"Yea you can do it whenever but it is often a good idea to start with the help from others" She said looking over to Steve
"Oh him I'll wake him up in a moment"
"Ah ok well you'll be able to leave today but you will need to register the baby before you leave" The nurse said putting the board back on the bed.
"Okay we'll think of names when he gets up then" Michelle said sitting up a bit more.
"Alright well I'm going to need to go but any problems come find me or someone else" The nurse said walking out the curtained off area Michelle and Steve were in.
"Steve" Michelle called over to him
"Hmm yea what time is it" He said stretching out in the chair he was in
"Its 8.00 now wake up Amy, Ryan and Carla will be here soon and I'm feeding this one"
"Right okay yea" He said getting out the chair and walking over to Michelle
"Do you know what to do"
"Well kind of I don't think I do anything apart from hold her and then she'll take as much as she wants I guess" Michelle said pulling up her top and letting the baby suck of her breast.
"Oh and we need to think of names"
"Well there's abbey, Zoe what do you think"
"I like Zoe but I don't mind"
"Well we'll call her Zoe if that's what you want" He said kissing Michelle's cheek as she continued feeding her.
"Do you want to go to abbey, Zoe what do you think"
"I like Zoe but I don't mind"
"Well we'll call her Zoe if that's what you want" He said kissing Michelle's cheek as she continued feeding her.
"Do you want to go to your daddy now hey mummy needs to get ready" Michelle said taking Zoe off her and patting her back so she didn't choke before handing her to Steve as she started to fall asleep.
"You wouldn't be able to change her" Michelle asked chucking Steve the rest of the baby clothes.
"Yea sure" He said standing up and putting her in the cot and started changing her.
"Right they guys should be here in a minute Michelle said sitting up on the side of the bed while putting her shoes on and wondering over to Steve and Zoe.
"Yep this one's all ready how about you" Steve said leaning forward and giving Michelle a kiss on the lips which she responded back to before they were interrupted by Amy running in.
"Dad Michelle" She said running over to them and giving them a big hug
"Hey darling" Steve said lifting her up in the air and spinning her around while Carla and Ryan came in.
"Hey baby girl" Carla said walking over to Michelle and giving her a big hug.
"Look here she is hey say hello to your auntie Carla" Michelle said lifting Zoe out of her cot and giving her to Carla.
"Chelle she is so perfect" Carla said giving Zoe a kiss and cuddle before handing her back to her mum.
"Hey Ryan" Michelle said as Ryan walked over.
"Hey mum"
"Look hey its big brother Ryan" She said handing her to Ryan.
"Oh mum she is so cute what's she called" He asked bending down to show Amy
"Eh we're thinking Zoe" She said leaning into Steve who had finished packing up his new daughters stuff.
"Well why don't you guys go off and we'll meet you back home we just need to go register her" Michelle said picking up her bag while Steve got the baby back from Ryan.
"Yea we'll get some lunch made as well you must be staving" Carla said giving Michelle one last hug before walking away with Ryan and Amy
"Okay" Steve said taking her hand and walking out.
"Wait we don't have anything to take her home in" She said
"No its fine there's a seat in the boot"
"What do you taxi drivers keep in they cars" She said laughing
"Well we like to be prepared" He said as they walked over to the desk to get an appointment. 5 minutes later a woman walked through.
"Miss Connor please" She called reading the name of a bit of paper.
"Just take a seat" She said as they walked in
"Right you are here to register your baby and to get the birth certificate okay" The women said sitting down and taking out a premade certificate with blank spaces on it.
"Okay so if we could start with the names of the mother and farther please" She said
"Well Michelle Connor and Steve McDonald" She said taking Zoe from Steve and tried settling her herself as she wouldn't with Steve
"Okay and could we have the babies full name"
"Zoe Connor McDonald" She said looking at Steve who nodded
"Alright and do you have the birth papers please" And Michelle handed her the papers out her bag.
"Right thank-you very much and here's the certificate and you'll need to go register with your local doctor and get her first check-up" The women said handing Michelle the certificate.
"Okay thank-you" Michelle said standing up and walking out the room with Steve and the baby.
"Right we okay to go home"
"Yep I'll just put this one in his jacket thing so she doesn't get too cold" She said getting out a jacket for Zoe and zipping her up in it.
"Alright" Steve said taking her bag as she followed him out the hospital. They walked over to the car and Steve got the travel seat out the boot and put it in the back before Michelle strapped Zoe in a shoved her bag in the other side and got herself in. They drove back and parked the car outside Street cars.
"Where have you guys been" Lloyd asked as he came out for his fag break
"Well chelle decided to pop into the hospital and have the baby part from that nothing much" Steve said as Michelle got Zoe out the car.
"Oi I heard that" She said playfully slapping him across the chest.
"Lets see big Stevens kid then" Lloyd said putting out his fag and bending down to see the baby on the floor
"Oh Steve congratulations she is dead cute" He said fingering her nose and cheeks.
"Well I am pretty beautiful my-self" Steve said patting down his hair.
"Sorry mate don't think she got the looks from you" Lloyd said standing up
"Well I hope you know Lloyd you have just really hurt a mans feelings"
"Oh shut-up you big woose" Michelle said picking up Zoe from the travel seat
"Any way Steve hurry up I'm hungry and Zoe will be too" She said starting to walk away so Steve immediately grabbed her stuff and the seat and ran after her leaving Lloyd in stitches.
"Hey Ryan" She said as she got in the house.
"Hey little baby this is your new house hey" She said bouncing Zoe up and down in her arms.
"Right what you wanting to eat" Steve asked as he came in
"Whatever there is love I'm not that bothered I just didn't want to stand chatting all day" She said as she went and sat down on the sofa.
"Well I'll make you a sandwich and you can eat as much of it as you like I'll also heat up food for Zoe and you can feed her while I make sure she has got somewhere to sleep tonight and then maybe we can go out for a walk or something test the new buggy" He said getting out the bread.
"Yea that's good we can go show off new Zoe hey" She said giving her a big hug as Ryan came down.
"Alright Mum" He said walking over to the fridge to look for food.
"Yea fine" She said as Steve came over to give her, her sandwiches
"Thanks babe"
"Eh Steve the fridge is full of baby food" Ryan said looking up at him.
"Well there was no free cupboards"
"That's cause you probably bought every single jar in Devs"
"Lets see" Michelle said walking over to the fridge with Zoe in her arms
"Oh you wee cutie" She said ruffling Steves hair with her spare hand.
"There's money in my purse go buy yourself something" She said to Ryan before sitting back down.
"Right now what flavour does little Zoe want he" Steve said walking over with a few jars in his hands.
"Eh I think we'll go for the pink one but hold on a minute I'll give her a feed myself and then I'll feed her that stuff" Michelle said lifting her top up slightly.
"Ok well it needs warmed up and then it needs to cool so you'll have a few minutes" Steve said walking away and putting the jar in the microwave. 10 minutes later the food had cooled so Steve walked over to the sofa and sat down beside Michelle and Zoe.
"Thanks babe" Michelle said taking the bid from Steve and putting it on her before getting the bowl of food and slowly starting to feed her.
"Okay well I'll go bring her some toys and stuff down and then we can be off out if you want"
"Yea that'll be fine" She said slowly patting Zoe's back before giving her another small spoon. After about 20 minutes Michelle had finished feeding Zoe and got her into her warm jacket again while Steve had bought down got some stuff down and had got the pram ready so they were all ready to go.
"So where do you want to go" Michelle said pushing the pram out the door.
"Well we could just wonder around see where we get too" Steve said as he shut the door and followed his girlfriend down the road.
"Great here we go" Michelle said leaning her head into Steve
"Its fine babe they'll go soon enough" Steve said as the factory workers came running over on their lunch break.
"Oh chelle how are you" Sean said running up and giving her a hug.
"I'm fine thanks for asking" She said as she got Zoe out the pram
"I suppose you'll want to see this one" She said giving her a quick kiss before handing her to Sean.
"Oh chelle she is beautiful" Sean said rocking her in his arms before showing the rest of the workers. Michelle stood there with Steve arms around her slightly enlarged belly, smiling as each of the workers took a look at her when Carla came walking across with a big grin on her face
"When was she born" Julie asked
"Eh last night don't quite know the time"
"And does she have a name" Hayley asked
"Zoe" She said taking Zoe back from Sean
"Now why don't you lot leave Chelle and Steve alone to continue on their walk" Carla said as the workers hurried away.
"Thanks-you" Michelle said
"Oh its okay I actually wanted to say sorry I couldn't hang around today I was needed in the factory"
"It's fine really"
"And if you ever get bored or want to do something just give me a call it dead boring in that place without you"
"Ohh thanks we could maybe do something this week and if you're lucky enough me and Zozo here might come back early and we can train her up quicker"
"Now I would be very lucky and yea just call me or something" Carla said giving them a quick smile as she walked back to the factory
