They had left the hospital over four hours ago. When they had said goodbye to Olivia, Matthew was certain it was one of the hardest things he had ever done. Next to letting Mary go, it had been awful. Mary had cried in a way he hadn't seen her cry before. It was as if she was saying goodbye to a long-lost love and in a way she was. She had gone over instructions for the nurses and doctor's as if they didn't know what to do and they just kindly smiled and nodded along. Matthew just smiled warmly held Mary close as they walked out of the hospital. It was hell, but he wanted to keep himself together for Mary. She needed more rest and both Anna and Cora were going to sit with Olivia for the remaining hours of visitation. It broke his heart, but he thought Dr. Lee had made a good point. She had reminded them before they left that they needed to take care of themselves too and he wouldn't mind spending time with Mary outside of the hospital walls. It had a way of being stressful as they worried about Olivia and while they wanted to be with her, they needed to work on them too. His mother had reminded him that this relationship was still new and a lot had happened in less than a years' time. So, they needed a night to themselves, even if Olivia Katherine would fill their minds. Mary had taken a shower, painted her nails and had just walked out of the bathroom with a green skin mask on her face. "I don't actually know what we're supposed to do for a while night. We should go back."

"Believe me, I wish we were there." Matthew sat up on the bed and moved to his knees as she walked closer and he took her hand. "But…Anna and your mother will be with her for a bit. She's in great hands with the staff."

"I know, but can't we just go ourselves." Mary sighed, as he pulled her onto the bed. "I miss her already."

"She's easy to miss." Matthew chuckled, pushing a piece of hair our of her mask before wincing at his fingers. "What is this?"

"Want one?"

"Want what?" Matthew asked.

"A face mask." Mary shrugged and he could tell she was trying her best even if she was having issues being away from her little girl. "I won't have to pump again for a while and it will make your skin soft."

"My skin is already soft." Matthew frowned as she pulled her hands away.

"Wait here." Mary got up from the bed, wincing as she turned around.

"Be careful." Matthew rolled his eyes, reminding her of her incisions healing. "Olivia's in the hospital and I know you miss her, but we don't need you to be a patient again."

"Copy, Captain." Mary winked, walking out of the restroom and holding up a small container, a brush and headband.

"I don't think this is a great idea." Matthew said nervously, wondering if she was really planning on putting the headband on him.

"The hospital is very drying on the skin." She giggled, moving the headband around his neck and pulling it back to lock his blonde hair in place. "This will make sure it doesn't get in your hair."

"I don't know if I want this…" Matthew looked down at the container as she removed the lid. The filling was a light creamy green and she dipped the brush in it before applying it to his face. He winced as the product hit his skin. "Oh. That's cold. And why does it smell so minty? Mary…"
"Oh stop moaning." Mary giggled, painting his face with the mask. "You'll thank me later."

"How long until Olivia's old enough for this? So, she can rescue me from this?" Matthew laughed, put moved his hand to her arm as she started to paint his neck. "Okay…that's enough."

"You're whiny." She laughed, closing the jar and walking it back into the restroom as he watched her.

"Hey! I know we wanted to watch a movie, but what if we start a show?" He asked, leaning back against the pillows as she walked back into the bedroom. "I'm behind on Game of Thrones."

"Fine." Mary rolled her eyes as she carefully lowered herself into the bed. Matthew set up the pillows, propping one under where her feet were going to rest. "Matthew, I don't think we need to prop my legs up anymore."

"Humor me." He replied, knowing she still needed to take good care of herself. The face mask was a good start, but she still had physical steps that needed to be taken to help her heal. The pillows would help with swelling. "How is your pain?"

"It's okay…" She sighed as she looked up at him and a smile moved across her lips. "I'm a little sore."

"Which means you're a lot sore." Matthew reached for her pain medicine. "And why are you smiling for someone in pain?"

"Because you look good in a green mask." She smiled as she reached for her phone off the night stand. "Anna still hasn't texted. She should have been there an hour ago."

"She's there, I already checked and I told her to text me if she needed to send a message, because I wanted you to get some sleep." Matthew replied, reaching for his own phone. He pulled up a text from Anna, showing Mary some photos, that Anna had taken of Olivia. He watched as the smile grew across her lips and she pulled the phone from his hand. "You were in the bathroom and I forgot to show you."

"Look how tiny that baby is." Mary giggled, swiping through the photos. "Those little fingers. God."

"How is it possible to miss someone we just met?" Matthew sighed as they kept their eyes on one of the pictures. "Those fingers really are the cutest thing I have ever seen."

"And the smallest." Mary replied, looking up at him before unlocking her phone and opening her own camera. "Smile."

"No…" Matthew picked up one of the throw pillows to shield his face.

"Lower it." Mary demanded as she giggled. "Come on…"

'Fine." He groaned dramatically, as he broke into a smile. Hearing her giggle about having fun was the best sound. With everything going on and the stress of being away from Olivia, it was nice to have her alone with him and enjoying herself.

"Thank you." She laughed, as she snapped the pictures, one of her and Matthew kissing. "Oh…I ordered a carrier for her. One I can use to walk around with her attached to me."

"So, you don't have to share?"

"Exactly." She nodded, scrolling through her phone as he turned the television on. She put her phone back, before moving her fingers to his hair. "Can we at least start Game of Thrones from the beginning?"

"Why?" He frowned.

"I've never seen an episode." Mary replied, gesturing towards the television. "I'll be completely lost. If we start over, I can watch the whole thing and you're only two seasons in so you should just listen to me. You're behind too…"

"Sure." He sighed reluctantly as she looked at the time on her phone. "Can I wash this off my face yet or did you just want this to permanently be apart of my face now?"

"We can wash it off." She agreed as he got up from the bed and walked around to her side and extended his hand. "You're not very patient, are you?"

"Oh, you're questioning my patience when I look like this?" He laughed, moving his hand to her waist.

"I think you look refreshed." Mary grinned, wrapping her arms around his neck. He had to admit, seeing her smile like this was amazing and the fact that they were happy made everything seem perfect. Yes, their baby was still in the hospital and their number one choice was to be with her, but they still had so much to learn about each other. "I bet your pores are clear now."

"Oh, well if they're clear than I'm sure it will be worth it." Matthew rolled his eyes, kissing her again. "Since you're letting me watch Game of Thrones, it will be worth it."

"From the start." She reminded him, pulling away from him but he pulled her right back. "What?"

"You're amazing, you know that?" He whispered, running his hands along her side. "What you've gone through…bringing Olivia into the world. Thank you."

"I…the doctor's brought her into the world." Mary shrugged as he kissed her. "And why are you thanking me?"

"For letting me be her father…." Matthew whispered. "For taking such amazing care of her. I know you think it doesn't count, because of everything that happened but she's amazing. Given everything, she's doing amazing and that's because of you. That comes down to you. When she looks at you…it's because of you."

"Thank you." She breathed. "Although I am still upset that I never got to get gloriously fat. I was kind of robbed of that."

"You were, but I also don't think you're capable of getting big." He laughed, sliding his hands to her butt. "Although I can think of an area up front that has grown a lot."

"My breasts. I'm aware." Mary shook her head. "Well, eventually that will go away."

"Luckily I like everything I've been given when it comes to you."

"Same with you." She smiled as he let go and they walked into the bathroom to wash their faces. He meant it. She was doing amazing as a mother and she deserved to know that she was responsible for how well Olivia was doing. It was evident in the way she held her little girl and the way their baby looked up at her. It made being alone with her feel like a great reward. A reward that they needed to embrace more. His mother did them a great favor by reminding him that they had so much to work on, because of how rushed their relationship was. It made him nervous at times, realizing that they never actually dated or did things that a new couple did. Then tonight happened. Face masks, picking a show to watch on television and little soft kisses made it seem like they could still experience all of that. Even with a little baby. It wasn't always going to be easy. Life had presented them with endless challenges. And tonight, the night would likely end with staring at pictures of Olivia on their phones, but he was going to take care of her and be thankful for the little moments like tonight.
