Hey guys, so this is the next chapter of And Baby Makes Three..and yeah, I hope you like it and don't worry, Dan will be ok...
When Dr. Mills came in to check u on Dan and the baby, Dan told her about his problems with his abdomen hurting. The doctor went over to him, and lightly felt his abdomen. Dan hissed in pain, as she lightly touched him in a spot, near his lower abdomen near his stitches.
"Mr. Howell, what you're currently feeling is most likely a result of the stitches. However, if you still feel pain, you may come in later." Said the doctor, Dan nodded and thanked her as she left. Dan sighed softly, he didn't want to tell Phil, less Phil start worrying about him. He smiled softly at Destiny, who was looking around the room. He lightly kissed her forehead, and chuckled.
"Hey sweetheart, you ready to go home today? you're going to love it there I promise." Said Dan with a small smile. Destiny looked up at Dan and smiled, Dan smiled back at the tiny little baby. She was adorable, and he loved his baby girl, but it was still so hard to believe that they had a baby and that they were parents now. He looked up, as Phil entered the room with food. He smiled, and gently handed Phil Destiny, when he began to eat.
" She's so cute, just like her dad." Said Phil, Dan chuckled in response.
"Which one, she has two of them." He replied, when Phil smirked mischievously, and kissed Dan's nose.
"Me, I'm cuter." Said Phil teasingly, Dan laughed and rolled his eyes affectionately, Phil smiled and kissed Dan.
" Seriously though, how are you feeling Bear?" Asked Phil curiously.
" Good, I just want to get home honestly. I hate hospitals." Said Dan, with a small laugh. Phil smiled back, when he noticed that Dan looked slightly paler...which he found just a little bit odd. He knitted his brow, and placed a hand on Dan's shoulder.
" Are you sure you're feeling alright Bear?" Asked Phil.
" Yeah, I'm fine my stitches just hurt a little. It'll probably wear off tomorrow...or later..come on, lets just take her home already." Said Dan enthusiastically, Phil chuckled and after they ate, the small family was finally home. That night, after tucking Destiny in her crib and singing her a lullaby. Dan and Phil were in their bed, when Dan shuddered and began to whimper slightly.
" Phil...Phil..it hurts." Said Dan, as he wrapped his arms around his waist.
" What hurts love?" Said Phil groggily, as he lightly placed a hand on Dan's shoulder. Dan whimpered once more, and Phil knew there was something serious going on here. After dialing 999 and taking Dan to the hospital. Phil was in the waiting room, holding his sleeping baby protectively in his arms. He hoped it wasn't anything bad...he hoped that Dan was ok, and that he'd live.
"Mr. Lester?" Said Dr. Mills as she walked out. "After assessing the situation, we determined that there was a small problem with Mr. Howell's uterus, most carriers after birth, will experience a swelling of the uterus and ovaries due to having undergone the birthing process. The swelling will go down in a few days, however I should warn you that..well..the more children you have, the more Mr. Howell's life will be at risk because of it. As, the more children, the more inflamed it will become until...it bursts. This sometimes happens with carriers, because as I said sometimes their bodies can't handle the pregnancy or birth."
Phil was stunned, when he looked down at the tiny baby in his arms. He didn't understand any of this honestly...he looked up, as the doctor, allowed them in. Dan was on the bed, a small cot next to him for Destiny, Phil went over, and gently placed her in the cot, when she made a few whimpering noises.
" It's alright sweetie, it's alright..." Said Phil, before singing her a lullaby to help her sleep. Dan tucked her in, before looking up at Phil, who sat down and held Dan's hand in his.
" Hey...it'll be ok." Said Dan softly, Phil sighed and held Dan. He hoped it was true, honestly he was glad that Dan was going to be ok but...he didn't want to have anymore kids after Destiny, if it meant losing Dan. After the next few days, they went home and honestly, everything was better.
She was a few days old, so she couldn't really do anything but he and Phil were ecstatic taking her to the park, to her grandparents' houses and even to see their grandparents who were overjoyed to see their great-grandchild. Sure somethings weren't the best, like the crying in the middle of the night or the dirty diapers...but honestly, it was worth it really.
Especially tonight thought Dan, as Destiny woke up crying. Dan turned around to Phil, who was still a heavy sleeper, he sighed and got out of the bed. He went over to the nursery, and picked up the tiny little baby. Immediately, he began rocking her back and forth, trying to get her to sleep, he hummed and after awhile, Destiny eventually fell asleep. He smiled, and set her down in the crib, gently tucking her in.
"Goodnight my little princess, have happy dreams alright? Papa and I love you to the moon and back." Said Dan softly, before kissing her forehead. He went back to the room, and hugged Phil, who hugged Dan back and yawned.
"Oh now you're up." Teased Dan, making Phil chuckle.
" Destiny wake you up again?" Asked Phil, Dan nodded and groaned softly. Phil kissed Dan, who smiled and held Phil's hand in his.
