The next morning, Steve lay awake looking down at Michelle who was smuggled into him fast asleep, she had been awake most of the night feeding baby Aiden despite what the doctors had told her, which was too get as much rest as possible just because the baby had been born didn't mean she was completely out of the woods. He then looked down to his new baby son, who just couldn't seem to sleep.
"Hey little fella fancy helping daddy clean the place up for mummy, so she doesn't have to worry about it, and then afterwards we could go for a little drive around and you could learn the business of taxi driving really early" He said picking his tiny little son up and carrying him through to the living room surprised to see Ryan and Katy already and dressed with Baby Joseph in his highchair playing with the porridge in his plastic bowl.
"Oh hi guys" He said pacing up and down the kitchen floor with Aiden snuggled in his arms starting to get a little upset.
"You're up early" Ryan commented walking over clean up Joseph's mess he had made.
"Yeah Aiden wants to go explore the world"
"Steve sorry mate, he aint going to be able to do much and his grandparents are coming, so you can't really disappear"
"Does your mum know that"
"No I'll go tell her"
"Don't Ryan just leave her, she needs to sleep"
"Okay, just make sure you don't disappear, don't think they two even knew yous are back together never mind had a child"
"Yeah we'll just go on a little walk around the place and then come back" Steve said shoving on a pair of jeans from the wash.
"Eh what you just going to carry him around in your arms"
"Yeah I'll just pop down to street cars to sort stuff out then come back"
"Okay yeah, have fun" Ryan said as Steve left happy as Larry with tiny little Aiden snuggled tightly in his arms as he jogged over to street cars.
"Lloyd" He shouted walking in, when Lloyd pocked his head through the little gap in which customers speak into.
"Alirght mate, you're not due on for another couple of hours".
"Yeah but I need to change that"
"Eh no sorry no can do mate"
"Yeah it's going to have to do, baby decided to come early" He said plumping himself down on his usual chair.
Back in the flat Ryan was trying his best to tidy the place up while Katy got Joseph ready, as he knew his grandparents would be arriving probably very soon. Just as he finished cleaning up the units after breakfast he heard the buzzer go, he knew exactly who it was going to be but now he was stuck whether trying to get his mum up though he knew that was no way a good idea or have his Gran moaning at them both which would do his mum no good at all either, so he decided to let them up before going to wake his mum.
"Mum" He said quietly walking into his mums room to find her fast asleep, looking ever so peaceful.
"Mum" He said a bit more loudly when he heard a light mumble come from her.
"Gran and Grandad are here"
"What, where's Steve" She said sitting up, feeling a pounding headache come on as well all the other pains of pregnancy lurking around her bones and joints
"He went out with the baby, said he needed to go speak to Lloyd or something for a minute"
"What okay" She said trying to drag her aching body out of bed, but just couldn't manage so Ryan came over to help her.
"Cheers kid"
"No problem, you want me to stay or go"
"Wait just a mo" She said pulling on Steve's jogger bottoms and hoodie before walking out with the aid of Ryan.
"Ahhh chelle" Her Dad said walking over to her, with his arms wide open for a hug.
"Oh love, what's happened you look proper rough" Helen, her mum asked walking over to her too.
"Nothing just tired that's all" She said giving them both a quick hug before continuing into the kitchen to try and find food.
"Ry you finished all the bread"
"Yeah sorry I'll go get some"
"No no its fine I'll go" She said shoving on a pair of Steves shoes before walking out the flat. She got outside and went to sit on the bench outside her flat, trying to ignore the ever growing headache she was experiencing.
"Chelle" She heard a yelp from behind her shout and turned around to see Steve jogging over to her with a concerned look on his face, and that's when she broke down into floods of tears, just as he came up behind her.
"Baby what's wrong" He asked incredibly gentle as she just shrugged before leaning into him for more love and comfort which is precisely what she got.
"I don't feel well babe" She said interrupting him from the soothing messages he was giving her.
"What well how unwell do you feel"
"I don't know, like everything's so sore, and half my bodies been ran over by a truck"
"Well how about we go back to the flat, and you can get the duvet and come sleep on me or cushions and Aiden can sleep too"
"Mum and Dad are here so don't think that's quite possible"
"Come on, yeah it will be I'll make sure don't worry".
"Fine then, but I'll take Aiden and your hand" She said standing up with her baby and Steve before linking his hand in hers and walking back up the stairs to her flat.
"Ahh there you are mum, now is it true that when I was younger I would run into a wall with a bucket on my head"
"Eh yeah why" She asked before realising the look on her mums face as she realised what her daughter had been up too.
"So that's why you looked as white as a ghost this morning then" Her mum said clearly annoyed at the fact Michelle had went and had another baby with the man that not so many years ago broke her heart.
"No that would be because I don't feel too great"
"Probably because you only flamin gave birth a couple of days ago by the size of that thing"
"It is not a thing its you're grandson now you can either love him or hate him but don't make a big scene about it because I can't be bothered with arguing" She said calmly sitting herself on the kitchen unit as baby Aiden started to make noises.
"Okay I'm sorry, just maybe a bit of warning would have been nice, so we could have bought this fella some goodies"
"Didn't have much time really, wasn't due for another 4 months"
"4 months and I panicked over having you a week early"
"Yep decided to delight us with his presence at 2.00 o'clock yesterday"
"Morning"
"Yep"
"So you're only just back from hospital"
"Yep and that is why Steve is gonna take me over to that sofa, to sleep" She said snaking her spare arm around his neck, as her mum came to take Aiden and Steve lifted her over to the sofa.
"And now beautiful, you get some sleep"
"Nope thingy needs fed".
"Cant Steve do that" Her mum asked coming and sitting on the single sofa next to them.
"With what"
"Oh your breast-feeding"
"Yep didn't have much choice though" She said while taking Aiden from her mum to let him suck away on her nipple.
"Yeah they're always so fussy bout those kind of things, anyway Ryan how about me your grandad and Katy and her baby go do something leave these guys to do whatever"
"Yeah sure we'll just go get Joseph ready" Ryan said before him and Katy disappeared into his bedroom.
"So how long you guys been back together then" Her dad asked from the other side of the room.
"Eh don't know just less than a year I think" She said taking little Aiden off her breast as he started to fall asleep again.
"Doesn't take much does he" Her mum said giving her new grandson a kiss on the cheek.
"Nope which is just fine"
"Okay well we'll all be off and we'll see you probably about 3" Her mum said standing up with her Dad as Ryan and Katy came out looking all ready to go
