The first night with Aziza was something Carla forever imagined it would be, it was special and her daughter was very well behaved. Peter stayed over in hospital with her and they took it in turns to care for her by changing her, Carla fed her when she wanted to be fed and they all snuggled together. She was hoping to go home today and snuggle with Aziza and Peter all day and get used to having her in the flat, she was looking forward to getting back to some sense of normality because that's what really counted, normality and happiness.

"Dont cry" she whispers picking Aziza up and cradling her, Peter tickles her feet "Stop annoying her"

"She's beautiful" Peter grins, Carla just playfully rolls her eyes "Are you hoping to go home today?"

"I hope, I just want to be in my own bed cuddling with you and Aziza" she smiles watching her daughter sleep in her arms "Shes so peaceful when she sleeps"

"That's what I love about her, there's always something precious about watching your child sleep"

"Hmm, she is precious that's why we named her Aziza" she reminds him but he just rolls his eyes "I reckon she'll want a nickname you know"

"I wonder what it'll be? Ziza, Zi?" he questions, she smirks "Even Zizi"

"Whatever she desires she will get" Carla grins placing one of her fingers in Aziza's hands "That's another thing that's precious"

"Hm?"

"The way she wraps her fingers around my finger, so innocent yet I want to protect her"

"And you will" he smiles as Justine enters the room with a few papers

"How are you doing this morning Carla?" Justine questions, Carla grins biting her lip

"Yeah we're good, getting to know each other" Carla smiles brushing the back of her finger over Aziza's cheek "I love her so much"

"Ok then" Justine smiles handing Carla her discharge papers "One signature from you then you can go home"

"Oh yay! Finally" Carla smiles adjusting her baby into one of her arms so she could sign the papers "All done"

"Good now you can leave whenever you want" Justine smiles peering at Aziza "Good luck for the future"

"Yeah…" Carla trails off before sliding out of bed and walking over to the bag and Aziza's coming home outfit "Do you want to change her as I've had her hanging off me all morning?"

"Go on then" Peter chuckles taking Aziza "We can leave Mummy to pack the bag eh?"

"Mummy doesn't mind as long as she gets home and gets some of her posh coffee inside of her"

Carla packed the bags and Peter dressed Aziza, they made sure she was safe and secure in her car seat and with that they were ready to go. Peter drive slowly and carefully all the way back home careful not to hurt Carla or wake Aziza who was sleeping in the back of the car. As soon as they entered the flat Carla made herself comfortable in the bedroom and sent a text off to Michelle thanking her for changing the sheets and tidying the flat for her. She took Aziza out of the car seat and snuggled with her, placing her on her chest and making sure she was warm enough. Peter brought her a coffee which she was grateful for as well. He then got a text from Leane asking if Simon could come over as he was hounding her over the baby so Peter offered to pick him up from school under Carla's say so.

"Ok Si go and wash your hands then you can meet the baby" Peter ruffles his hair and watches Simon rush into the bathroom to wash his hands, he appears a short while later

"Please can I see her now" Simon whines Peter just chuckles and leads him into the bedroom where Carla was watching TV and Aziza was snuggling against her chest

"Nice and quiet we don't want to wake her" Peter whispers guiding Simon over to Carla who smiles at him

"This is Aziza" Carla informs him, Simon's eyes widen

"Is that all she does?" he questions, Carla glances to Peter trying not to laugh knowing it would wake the baby

"Yeah she's not very exciting" Carla glances down to her daughter "When she grows she'll do a bit more"

"Can I teach her to ride a bike and play football?" Simon asks Carla just chuckles

"You can do whatever you want, within reason of course" Carla smiles, Simon nod taking in Aziza's features

"Can I hold her?" Simon asks, Carla nods watching him slide off his shoes and climb onto the bed and not beside her, Carla places Aziza gently into Simons's arms, she starts to cry "Dont cry Aziza"

"She's just a bit miffed I moved her from the warmth of my chest" Carla chuckles watching Aziza cry "Shall I take her back?"

"Yeah ok" Simon smiles allowing Carla to take Aziza and place her on her chest again with her blanket draped over her body

"Shall I order in then?" Peter suggests Carla nods kissing her daughter's head as she settles back down to sleep against the warmth of her mother's chest "Si do you want to come and choose what we have?"

"Order me double" Carla smirks, both Simon and Peter pull faces "What? I'm hungry i just pushed an eight-pound baby out of me, I deserve food"

"Whatever you want my dear" Peter rolls his eyes leaving her to it with Aziza...

They ordered in whilst Aziza slept in the Moses basket which was in the lounge, they then watched a film and took it in turns to change the baby and Carla fed her when she wanted to be fed. They then got Simon off to bed and they then headed to bed as well and settled Aziza in the cosleeper. Peter had his arm draped over Carla's middle and they settled down into s peaceful slumber until Aziza woke from her sleep wanting to be changed so Peter took her into the spare room and changed her allowing Carla to sleep as she had been through a lot of exhaustion with the birth.

"Is she ok?" Carla mumbles snuggling into Peter's side, she rests her head on his chest until Aziza cries again "I'll take that as a no"

"She's probably hungry" Peter grumbles causing Carla to pick her daughter up into her arms and allow her to feed, she hums gently to her "She's going to be attached to you"

"I know" she whispers enjoying the bond she was forming with Aziza "I love her so much"

"She loves you too"

"Well I do have boobs, Peter, you dont have that privilege" she grins, Peter just rolls his eyes "You dont have to stay up with me you know"

"I want to help" he smiles "You dont have to do this on your own"

"I know it's just...ignore me, I know what you mean" she smirks, Aziza looks up at her before closing her eyes "Ugh Aziza!"

"What?" Peter chuckles as Carla grabs a cloth and wipes Aziza's mouth "Oh she was sick"

"Yeah all over me" Carla grunts causing Peter to take the baby and hold her against his chest as well as wind her "I'll just change my top"

"She's gone to sleep"

"Wind her" Carla states undressing causing him to smirk "Peter I mean it, she'll be sick everywhere again"

"But she's sleeping" Peter chuckles trying to wake Aziza which she cries at "I know sweetheart you need to be winded though"

"Right, does she need a fresh sleepsuit?"

"Yeah" Peter nods causing Carla to huff and walk into the spare room to collect her another sleepsuit she returns just as Peter's settling Aziza "Shall we get you changed sweetheart you can't sleep in this dirty sleepsuit"

"Come here" Carla whispers taking Aziza as she cries, she undoes her sleepsuit and puts the new one on "Now you can sleep princess hm?"

"She's beautiful" Peter smiles watching Carla place her in the co-sleeper "Right now we can sleep"

"Hmm good" she smiles climbing into bed and curling up next to Peter, he turns the light off as they snuggle, they eventually fall into a peaceful slumber...
