Meet Bobby

We were in our own slice of heaven, our baby boy was finally here, more perfect than we could possible imagine. Abi had called Jay to come visit and of course he fell straight in love with him, much like Abi had. They then retreated home, as I was would be discharged the following day. Joey had called him mum and Alice to come down and meet Bobby; they were just as much family as Abi.

My mum had been rather teary on the phone and had promised me that she would be back within the next week to meet her first grandson, Dad on the other hand was on his way in desperate to see Bobby, and he was nearly as excited as we were.

I was beginning to feel exhausted as I passed Bobby over to Joe, needing some sleep. The midwives were surprised I had slept straight after, instead I held out for a while longer, so deeply in love with my baby boy I didn't want to take my eyes away from him.

"It's okay babe, I've got him we will be right here" Joey whispered, kissing my cheek softly, as he sat down in the chair next to the bed, Bobby fast asleep in his arms, my eyes finally closing. No dream could be better than my reality right now.

"Love you Joe" I murmured, the last thing I could say before sleep set in.

"Love you more baby" he chimed, his free hand softly rubbing up and down my arm, lulling me to sleep.

Joey's POV

I watched as Lauren drifted off to sleep, her tired eyes finally closing. Glancing down to my son who tightly wrapped in a blanket, his little chest rising and falling in sync with Laurens I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed that he was actually here in the flesh. He was more perfect than I could ever imagine, each time his eyes fluttered open they connected with mine just like Laurens did. I didn't think it was ever possible to love someone as much as I love Lauren and no Bobby. When I first saw him my heart practically jumped from my chest much like it did when I met Lo. This was how it was meant to be, it was fate clear and simple.

I heard a light tap on the door, glancing over my shoulder I noticed Max stood at the doorway as I waved him in, holding my finger up to my mouth signalling Lauren was asleep.

"Hey Max" I whispered, as his eyes engulfed sleeping Bobby who was laid in my arms.

"Hi Joey, wow look at him" he whispered back, as I placed his grandson in his arms. His interactions with him mimicked Laurens slightly. They had a similar look in their eyes when they looked at Bobby. "She did good Joe" he continued, his eyes flicking to Lauren who was still fast asleep.

"She did, I'm so proud of her" I replied, his hand running up and down her arm softly, wanting to keep some contact with her.

"She's a fantastic person, you helped with that Joe, I can never thank you enough" he replied, bending down a little kissing Laurens forehead.

"She helped me too, were just meant to be" I smiled my words so truthful right now.

"Oh looks like someone wants their daddy" Max stated passing me back Bobby who had begun stirring in my arms.

"Hi mate" I whispered, kissing his small forehead gently.

"Joey" Looking back at the doorway I spotted my mum and sister. Alice slightly jumping with excitement, my mum having tears in her eyes. Once more I put my finger to my mouth, wanting Lauren to have as much sleep as she could.

"Oh my god, he is so cute" Alice squealed a little, holding her arms out for me to give her Bobby. Once I let him go, mum hugged me closely, she cried a little with happiness, her eyes glued to her grandson, and then smiling at Max who was watching Lauren sleeping.

"She still looks as beautiful, even after a baby" mum commented, his fingers running through Laurens long hair as she stirred a little. Her tired eyes flickering open as spotting mum next to her.

"Hey nanny" she said sleepily, mum laughing a little pulling Lauren into a hug. "So proud of you" I heard her whisper, seeing Lauren blush a little. She then turned to face me, mum was right she was still as beautiful as ever, she would be nothing less.

End Joey's POV

Glancing to my left, my eyes met my dad who just stayed quiet for a while.

"I never say it enough baby, but I'm so proud of you" he said, much like Pat had just said to me. Although hearing it from my dad was even more special, I had waited for this moment where he was truly proud of me, I was no longer the failure, I had accomplished.

"I love you dad" I smiled, as he kissed my forehead softly. My eyes leaving his searching for my son, who was on the verge of being kidnapped by Alice. This boy would definitely be a heart breaker like Joey. He already had people wrapped around his finger and he was only a day old.

"Hey mummy, baby needs feeding you want to give it a go?" the midwife entered the room, picking up Bobby from Alice and bringing him to the bedside. I had said I wanted to try breast feeding, I had read many of times that breast milk is the best option for your baby, so I was willing to give it a go.

"That's our cue to go, we will see you once your settled at home" Pat commented, kissing mine and Joey's cheek before leaving with Alice and my dad.

The midwife showed me how to properly breast feed, then placed Bobby in my arms. I suddenly felt a little self-conscious as Joey was sat watching me as well as the midwife. I couldn't help the blush that formed on my cheeks, feeling Joeys out stretch hand, stroke my coloured cheek tenderly.

Luckily for me, Bobby attached instantly, it was easier than I had ever expected. Joey was still sat beside me as the midwife left us alone.

"I've never seen you look as beautiful as you do now" he commented, Bobby's hand tightly gripping Joey's little finger as he continued to feed.

"You would say that, my breast are out" I replied sarcastically, Joey laughed a little, the slight truth behind his comment exposed.

"Well yeah, but I mean all of you babe" he smiled reaching over he kissed my lips softly.

"Charmer" I blushed, noticing Bobby had enough, handing him to Joey to wind as I pulled my gown back up covering myself, not missing the pout Joey now had on his lips

"You'll get your turn when were home" I mocked jokingly, although he smirked clearly aroused by the idea, he had always loved my breasts, must be a male thing.

"Holding you to that" he replied gently winding Bobby.

Fats and Poppy came to the hospital not long after dying to see Bobby, or BB short for Bobby Blake as Fats now called him. Poppy had cooed over him instantly, commenting on how much he looked like Joey, which was true. It was the turn of Whitney and Tyler to visit their godson, and they had the same reaction as everyone else, I couldn't help it if our child was just the cutest and I wasn't being biased.
