Chapter 29
"She's so tiny." Santana muttered from the hospital bed. She and Mia where being released today from the hospital since they've both been in for a week. Tyler hasn't said anything to her but Brittany told her he's decorated the baby nursery which was the old spare room. Apparently he was doing it as a surprise and Santana decided to let him have his moment.
"Tell me about it. I feel like I'm gonna squish her." He said whilst he was stroking Santana's head. He bent down to look at Mia closer. "Hey baby girl, I'm your daddy." He whispered to her, a grin coming on his face when he felt her little hand wrap around his finger. "Yes I am! Daddy's gonna have to beat the boys away with sticks isn't he? Just like he has to with mummy." He said before grinning at his girlfriend.
"Don't make me swear at you in front of her already." Santana threatened. "Ok, you hold her while I go and get dressed." She muttered as she gently handed Mia over to Tyler.
She stopped by the bathroom daughter, having a look at her daughter and boyfriend, tears coming to her eyes when she seen her little family, seeing how small Mia was in comparison to Tyler. Saying that, everyone's small compared to him. She thought with a small smirk.
"Your so beautiful Mia." Tyler said as he sat down with his child in his hands. The moment that he seen his little baby girl, he knew straight away he would die for her. Nobody would harm her and he would make sure of it. "It's strange…but I love you already." He said with a small grin. He brought his hand up and gently traced his finger around her face. He bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her nose, smiling when he seen the nose twitch slightly.
"Do you wanna know a secret? I'm gonna ask your mum to marry me when I turn 18. Then we're gonna buy a house, and I'm gonna be the best dad in the world. Promise." He whispered.
"She's got you wrapped around her mini fingers already." Santana smiled as she walked back in with a pair of tracksuit pants on along with one of Tyler's hoodies.
"Oh please…actually I'm not even gonna deny it." He shrugged with a grin.
"C'mon daddy." She said once they switched Mia over.
"Daddy?" Tyler halted, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah that's what you are right? A dadd—" She paused mid-sentence and looked at him with a glare. "Dirty minded." She said before walking out of the room hold Mia tight in her arms.
Tyler let out a laugh and grabbed the bag that they had kept at the hospital before chasing after Santana.
"Sarah!" Tyler called out when he entered the house. Sarah has visited a few times to check up on Santana and Tyler that week but she hasn't had a chance to hold Mia yet.
"Hey guys." She said as she wiped her hands on her jeans as she met them at the door.
"Hey Sarah." Santana said with a relieved smile, happy to be home. Tyler dumped the bags he was holding and gave Sarah a hug.
"C'mon Ty! Let go, I wanna see Mia!" She wined and tapped his back.
"Fine. Sure you wanna see my daughter but not the farther. Be that way." He said with a frown, a small smile fighting its way onto his lips.
Sarah just walked past him and stopped when she reached Santana. Santana angled Mia so Sarah could take her in a safe way and smiled when she saw Sarah's face once Mia was in her arms.
"She's so pretty. She's seriously like the perfect mix between you both." Sarah muttered.
Tyler grinned and walked to Santana, wrapping his arms around her and kissing the side of her head. "She's gonna be just like her mum." He said. "The beautiful part, not the bitch part." This caused him to get a slap on the chest from Santana and a glare from Santana.
"Tough crowd." He muttered.
"What's that smell?" Sarah asked and sniffed the air, she looked down at Mia and lifted her up and smelt her. "Wow I think someone wants her daddy." She said with a smile.
Tyler walked up and got Mia from her, frowning when he smelt his daughter. "Oh wow." He muttered. He looked at Santana for help but she just covered her nose with one hand and gestured for him to change her nappy with the other.
Tyler just frowned and walked upstairs with Mia, taking her to the nursery where he had put some changing things in. "You stay down her Sant, come up when I shout ok?" He checked.
"There cruel aren't they? Making daddy change your nappy…I'll tell you what though…you have a serious problem because that smells rank!" he hissed whilst trying to hold his breath. He quickly took the old nappy off before replacing it with a new one. "How do they even make them this small?" he muttered. He picked Mia up and walked to the stairs to shout Santana up.
"Ok, close your eyes." He said as she held Mia to her chest. He placed his hands on Santana's shoulders and carefully guided her to the room.
"Ready?" he checked. When he saw her nod he smiled and walked to the middle of the room. "Open." He said.
"Ty…this is amazing…" Santana muttered as she looked around the room. He had painted the walls a light purple, refusing to paint it pink like Santana requested. He had also painted some pictures on the wall and put pictures around the room, he'd also put everything that they've bought for the past 9 months where they should be.
"The cribs in our room for now, I figured it would be easy if she's closer." He said with a blush on his cheeks. Santana smiled and walked up to him and kissed his cheek.
"Didn't daddy do good baby?" She whispered to Mia before walking around the room with her.
They didn't know what was going to happen in the future, but Santana knew as long as she and Mia had Tyler they'd be safe. They'd get through everything…together.
