Hey guys! Sorry about the wait for this chapter. I had total writer's block and a busy week at work. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see the Rollins Family do next, let me know!
They moved Nikki to recovery shortly after giving birth. Brie and Kathy had decided to get some rest, leaving Seth and Nikki to rest and get to know Sofia. The nurse was helping Nikki take a shower when Seth just looked down at Sofia who was fast asleep in the plastic cradle. He couldn't believe that he and Nikki had created this beautiful little girl. Seth knew that Sofia had already stolen his heart, much like Roman said she would.
"You can hold her if you want" the second nurse who came in the room said as Seth instantly picked her up as carefully as he could.
"I can't believe you are here" Seth whispered as Sofia opened her eyes looking up at him. He studied her face and saw the perfect mixture of he and Nikki. She had both of their very dark eyes, Nikki's nose and lips, his skin tone, wavy black hair, and cheeks.
"You are the most beautiful baby in the whole world. I think you get that from your mama" Seth said quietly before sitting in the chair and holding her to his chest.
"She's really alert for only being about an hour old" the second nurse said as Seth nodded looking down at her.
"I love how alert she is, I think it's because we are both freaked out" Seth said as Sofia's hand rested on his arm.
"Well you are doing really good with her" the nurse said before walking out of the room.
"Should we tell Uncle Roman and Uncle Dean that you are here?" Seth said to Sofia just kept studying him. Seth got his phone out and took a selfie of him kissing Sofia's head.
"Hey guys, you are officially uncles to this sweet little girl" he texted before looking up to see Nikki in her pajamas carefully moving across the room.
"There's my two favorite people in the whole world" Nikki said as she got into bed.
"She looks pretty comfortable with her daddy" the nurse said as Nikki just grinned watching Seth with Sofia.
"I knew she would be Daddy's little girl" Nikki said playfully pouting as Seth walked over kissing her pouting lips.
"Yeah until I embarrass her for the first time" Seth said looking down at Sofia with a smile. Nikki grabbed her phone and instantly took to twitter
"She's here! #BabyRollins has FINALLY decided to grace us with her presence. WWERollins and I are so in love with her" Nikki tweeted before laying back in the bed with a sigh.
"Get some rest babe, I'll stay with her" Seth said moving to the chair next to the bed as Nikki just grinned and nodded.
"I think I'll take a nap, we'll probably have some visitors soon" Nikki said before leaning over and kissing Seth.
"I'll wake you up if we need anything" Seth said as Nikki got as comfortable as she could in the hospital bed. It was only a few minutes before she was peacefully asleep. He smiled at the baby on his chest and tweeted
"I'm the luckiest man in the world. What everyone said was true, the moment she got here, she stole my heart. I love you thenikkibella #BabyRollins" he tweeted before kissing Sofia's head. Seth sat talking to Sofia and rubbing her back when she heard a soft knock at the door
"Hey guys" Brie said walking into the room and smiled seeing Nikki fast asleep.
"Hey Auntie Breezie" Seth said with a smile as Sofia looked around the room staying close to Seth's chest.
"I hope you don't mind, I brought a guest with me" Brie said as she looked back and Renee walked in behind her and instantly had tears in her eyes.
"Hey you" Seth said quietly as Renee waved slightly and followed Brie over to the chair.
"Oh my gosh, she's beautiful" Renee said walking over and hugging Seth before trying to compose herself.
"When did you get in town?" Seth asked as Renee grinned at him and pushed her blonde hair back so she could get a better look of Sofia.
"This morning, I was going to hang out with Brie while Dean was on the road. I thought she would've been here earlier but I'm so glad I made it" Renee said as Brie walked over washing her hands.
"Well Nikki will be happy to see you when she wakes up" Seth said as Brie walked over. Seth handed Sofia to Brie and sat on the bed so they could take the seats.
"There's my pretty little Sof, you are just looking around at everything aren't you?" Brie said as Renee went to wash her hands.
"Bryan is going to come up here in a little bit, he went to drop Brynnie off with Lauren and JJ" Brie added knowing that they couldn't bring Vivi or Brynnie up to the hospital.
"That's fine, I think the doctor said if Nikki is healing up well and Sofia keeps eating the way she does that we could go home tomorrow" Seth said as Brie just smiled down at her
"That's crazy, you bring this little nugget into the world then she gets to go home so soon" Renee said touching Sofia's little hand.
"Can you take a picture of me with her?" Brie asked as Renee nodded, they took a picture then Brie stood up to let Renee hold her.
"Come see Auntie Renee" Renee said holding her hands out with a smile as Seth just watched them holding her.
"Okay Renee, time for you to get some practice in" Brie said as both Seth and Renee laughed.
"I think that's a bit of a ways off" Renee said as she took Sofia in her arms and smiled down at her.
"You know I did say the same thing about a year and a half ago" Seth said with a smirk as Renee glared up at him.
"There you are my little nugget" Renee said quietly to Sofia as she just looked up at her.
"I can't believe she is so alert" Brie said with a smile as she took a picture of Renee holding her.
"I'm totally sending this to Dean" Brie added teasing her as Seth just laughed shaking his head.
"She has your eyes Seth" Renee said looking over at him as Seth laughed to himself.
"Nikki and I have the same eyes" Seth said as he peered over at Sofia's eyes trying to see what Renee was saying.
"I mean it though, when I look at her, her eyes are all you" Renee said as Brie looked at her eyes as well.
"Yeah she totally has your eyes Seth" Brie said just smiling down at the little girl. She could see that Sofia was a mix of both Seth and Nikki, enough so that sometimes she saw more of her & her sister at times then a couple minutes later would see more of Seth.
"If you guys think so" Seth said sending the picture he took of Renee with Sofia to Dean. They heard the door open quietly and Seth looked up to see Bryan walking in with pink flowers.
"Hey man" Seth said getting up and shaking Bryan's hand as he grinned.
"Congratulations" Bryan said quietly seeing that Nikki was fast asleep in the hospital bed.
"Thanks, I can't believe she's actually here" Seth said as he lead Bryan in and Brie got up so he could sit down.
"She's beautiful" Bryan said as Seth put the flowers on the table.
"I can't get over how cute she is" Renee said with a smile before Bryan went to wash his hands so he could hold Sofia. Once he was done, Renee handed Sofia over to Bryan who instantly smiled down at Sofia.
"There's my Fia" Bryan said before looking over at Seth
"There is no denying who her Dad is" Bryan said with a laugh as Renee smiled down at Sofia.
"I think she looks like Nicole more than anything" Seth said smiling over at Nikki who was starting to move in bed.
"Oh wow, we have visitors" Nikki said starting to wake up. She yawned and smiled over at Seth.
"Did we wake you?" Renee asked as Nikki shook her head. Brie and Renee walked over hugging Nikki tightly.
"I think I'm too excited to really sleep. How's our girl?" Nikki asked Seth as he grinned.
"She's perfect. She's just been looking around at everyone" Seth said as Bryan moved towards the bed and handed Sofia to Nikki. Seth was looking down at Sofia as the two of them just looked amazed at the little girl.
"You know she's gonna want this picture" Renee said as Bryan nodded. Seth looked up seeing Brie and Renee taking pictures of them.
"I was actually going to ask you guys to take a picture" Nikki said with a smile as Sofia rested her head on Nikki's chest and started to close her eyes.
"Of course you were" Bryan said as he started laughing only to be met with a glare from Nikki.
That night, everyone left the hospital around 6 leaving Seth, Nikki, and Sofia with some alone time. The nurses had recommended skin to skin contact not only by Nikki but also Seth as well. Nikki had been doing it for the past half hour so far and Seth just loved watching the two of them together.
"Alright, I told the nurse no visitors" Nikki said with a sigh. She had loved seeing Brie, Bryan, and Renee but they were exhausted already just from the day.
"Good, I need some time with my girls" He said watching Nikki looking down at Sofia who was on her chest fast asleep. Seth had been surprised at how good of a baby that Sofia was. She ate like a champ, was content other than when she was hungry or had a dirty diaper, and she was just looked around taking in her surroundings.
"I can't wait until we get home, I hate this hospital bed" Nikki said wincing quietly as she moved in the bed.
"How are you feeling?" Seth asked as Nikki just smiled at him and adjusted Sofia who was on her chest still.
"I'm sore but I think I'll be alright. I need to get some pain meds" Nikki said pressing the call button for the nurse to come in.
"You can do your skin to skin time while I'm taking my meds" Nikki suggested knowing it was time for Seth to have his turn.
"Yeah, I'll give you a bit of a break" Seth said as he started to take his shirt off and Nikki handed Sofia over. She covered her up with her blanket again as the speaker came on.
"Can you bring me something for the pain please?" Nikki asked as the nurse agreed to bring her something. Nikki looked over with a smile and saw that Seth was grinning down at Sofia. She grabbed her phone taking a couple pictures of Seth with Sofia knowing that they were already some of her favorite pictures.
"I think she's Daddy's girl already" Nikki said with a smile as Seth grinned over rubbing Sofia's back.
"She seems to like us both a lot" Seth said looking down at their little girl.
