Something New
Chapter 8
AN: Thank you for the review. It means a lot to me. The kidnapping is a good idea. I think it might actually work.
The next morning Callie wakes up to Jamie quietly talking to Peyton. She smiles watching him with her makes her fall even more in love with him. "Good morning, how's my girl?" Jamie looks up and smiles. "Good morning. She great we were just bonding. How are you feeling this morning?" Callie whimpers when she gets up to use the bathroom. "Very sore but she is so worth it." Jamie hands her to Callie when she comes back from the bathroom. Peyton looks up at Callie. "Good morning sweet pea. You will meet the rest of your crazy family today. They may seem a little weird at first but they love you so much." Peyton starts to fuss and Callie feeds her. "Have you heard from your parents?" She asks Jamie. "Yeah they said they would be here at nine. Carter sends his best but he can't come until school gets out. I got you something." Jamie hands Callie a cup of coffee. She takes a drink and smiles. "Thank you. You are the best." Jamie smiles. "You're welcome."
Jamie burps Peyton and cuddles with both of his girls. Jim and Diana knock and come in. They greet Jamie and Callie. "Mom, Dad I would like you to meet your granddaughter Peyton Colleen Hunter." Jamie says proudly as he hands her to his mom. "Oh she is so beautiful…" Diana says with tears in her eyes. "That's because she looks like her mommy." Jamie says looking at Callie. "Yes she does." Jim adds. "Hi baby girl I'm your Gigi." Jim watches over Diana's shoulder. "Hi sweetie I'm your Granddad." Callie is happy that the grand parents all picked different names to be called. It will make it so much easier when Peyton is older. Diana hands her to Jim. "So how did you come up with her name?" Diana asks. "We had a hard time coming up with her first name but we both liked Peyton. Colleen was my mom's name."
They don't stay very long because the doctor comes in to check on Callie and Peyton. "Peyton is doing great and Callie you are going to be sore for a few weeks. But I don't see why you can't go home this afternoon." Dr. Green says. "Thank you Doctor." Callie says. She leaves and Peyton starts to get fussy. Callie changes her and gives Peyton her binkie. "The next one is yours daddy." Jamie makes a face Callie laughs. "You can do it. I'm not going to be the only one on diaper duty." Jamie sighs knowing he can't get out of it. "Okay." He doesn't put up much of a fight because she is right. "Are you ready to take her home?" He asks Callie. "Ready as I will ever be. I'm just glad my mom is going to stay for a little while." Jamie nods. "Me too. Just in case we don't know what to do…"
A few hours later they are on their way home. Callie sits in the back seat with Peyton who sleeps through the whole ride. Callie was thankful that there wasn't much traffic since sitting is very painful. Who ever said you forget this pain is out of their minds. But it definitely was worth it. Even with going through it without any pain medicine would do again someday in the very distant future. Jamie carries the car seat and bags in and Callie brings Peyton in. "Welcome home Peyton." She coos at the sleeping baby. Stef and Lena are waiting for them. "Welcome home. We made you your favorite for lunch." Lena says as she takes Peyton from Callie. "Thanks mama. I'm starving." Callie says as she goes into the kitchen. "You too eat and shower. Mama and me have Peyton." Stef tells them. "Thank you Lena." Jamie says as he eats. "I cooked several meals for you guys all you have to do is heat them. I have to fly out tonight so I figured it was better then mom's cooking." They laugh and Stef pouts.
After they eat Callie takes a nice long hot shower. Which has helped a little with the soreness. She comes out and smiles watching her moms with Peyton who is wide a wake now. "Thank you for watching her. That shower was heavenly." Callie says as she sits on the couch next to Stef. "You're welcome bug." Peyton starts to cry and Callie takes her knowing she is probably hungry. Lena and Stef go to the kitchen to clean up their mess and to give Callie some privacy. Callie smiles at Peyton as she eats.
When she goes to sleep after she eats. Stef insists that Callie and Jamie take a nap while Peyton is a sleep. Either one complains on bit. Stef knows that they need to sleep when Peyton does. They get a couple good hours of sleep before Peyton wakes up and cries. Callie smirks when she hands her to Jamie to change her diaper. "Your turn daddy." Jamie takes her to the nursery and Callie follows them not wanting to miss his first diaper and to make sure he does it right. Callie laughs at the face Jamie makes when he opens the diaper and gags a few times but makes it through. "Good job babe." Callie says and gives him a quick kiss. "I will be a pro in no time." He grins as he puts her sleeper back on.
Soon it's time for Lena to go back to the airport. She really doesn't want to leave but she has to go back to work. "Don't worry mama we will send you a ton a pictures and we will see you in couple weeks." Callie says as she hugs her. "I know I just wish we didn't live so far away." Lena says. "Bye Peyton. Grammy loves you so much. You be good for your mommy and daddy." Stef takes Lena to the airport.
It takes a lot longer then Stef thought it would because of the traffic. She gets back to Callie and Jamie's. She walks in and Peyton is crying and Callie and Jamie look completely exasperated. "Mom thank god your back. We can't get her to calm down she isn't hungry, she has a dry diaper and spit out her binky." Stef takes the baby and she swaddles her quickly, and gives her binky then sits in the rocking chair. Peyton settles down and slowly goes to sleep. "Sometimes they just don't know what they want. But you guys can't freak out they can feel when you are upset. Which makes it worse." She says as she puts Peyton in her bassinet. Callie starts to cry and Jamie hugs her. "Hey it's okay Cal." Jamie says trying to comfort her. "No it's not. I have no clue how to take care of a baby." Stef sighs. "Callie you are a wonderful mom. Babies don't come with an owner's manual. You will learn as you go. You will learn what each cry means and what she wants. No body is perfect at first. You should have seen me with Brandon…" Callie calms down. "Thanks mom." Stef smiles. "That's what I'm here for."
The week of Stef being there goes all to fast for them. Callie and Jamie are getting the hang of things and as far as babies go Peyton is a pretty easy baby to please so far. Both Jamie and Callie are very sleep deprived but Callie has started to pump so Jamie can help with the night feedings. Which Callie is very thankful for. "Please don't go mom." Callie says as Stef packs her bag. "Oh Cal, I wish I could stay but I have to get back to work. You guys are going to be fine." Callie nods. "I know but what if something happens again?" Stef smiles. "Then you can call me anytime day or night. We will see you next weekend when you guys come down for Mother's Day." Callie hands Stef Peyton so she can say goodbye. Peyton and Stef already bonded. "Hi pretty girl. I want you to take it easy on your mommy and daddy they are doing the best they can. Grandma loves you baby." She kisses her head before handing her to Jamie. "Thank you Stef you have been a life saver." Jamie says as he hugs her. "You're welcome." Stef pulls Callie in to a tight hug and whispers in her ear. "You got this Callie. I love you." Callie nods. "I love you too mom. Be careful going home."
Stef leaves and they cuddle on the couch. "We are going to be fine babe." Callie smiles. "I know. I just wish we lived closer…" Jamie sighs. "I know you do." The week goes by fairly quickly. Callie and Jamie have had a couple arguments because they are both exhausted. But they make it through. Jamie doesn't really want to travel three hours with a two week old. But Callie wants to go see everybody and it will be the first time her grandmothers get to see Peyton. Callie packs her bag and starts on Peyton's. Who knew babies need so much stuff. Jamie waits until Callie is in the nursery before packing his bag so she doesn't see her mother's day gift.
Once they are all packed and in the new SUV Jamie bought for Callie. Which was one of the arguments. Callie isn't used to someone spending so much money on her but once she realized that it was more for the family she agreed. They head to Coterie to pick up Mariana before heading out. Callie sits in the back seat with Peyton. Thankfully she sleeps most of the way. She wakes up fifteen minutes out and cries not wanting to be in car seat anymore.
When they get to the moms house Callie takes Peyton out of the car seat and she calms down. Jamie and Mariana get the bags. "Wow babies need a lot of stuff." Mariana states. "Oh you have no idea…" Jamie says as they walk in. Mom and Mama run over to Callie and take Peyton from her. "Hi baby girl. Look how much you have grown…" Callie and Mariana are amazed that their moms have completely ignored them. "Hi moms we love you too." Mariana says. "Hi guys. We love you too." They both say not bothering to look up from the baby. Mariana and Callie both roll their eyes. "I don't think we are getting her back until she needs fed." Jamie says as he kisses Callie. Making them laugh. "Just wait until Grandma comes." Mariana says and Stef pouts. "She is going to hog her all to her self." Mariana smiles. Once mama steals Peyton from Stef she goes over and hugs both her daughters. "We didn't forget about you two. Don't get jealous of the baby." They both smile. "We know you love us mom. Besides I can't get enough of her either." Callie states.
Jamie was correct we didn't get Peyton back until she got hungry. If they knew she was now taking a bottle too we would never get our daughter back. Callie takes Peyton up to Brandon's old room where they had moved a bigger bed and a crib in. After she is fed and burped Callie takes her back down stairs. Jude and Jesus are arguing who gets her next. "Okay no fighting over my baby. Jude you see her a lot so it's Jesus's turn." Callie says and very body stairs at her. "Wow Cal when did you turn into moms." Mariana says and very body laughs. Stef and Lena smile proudly. "Also new rule. Since everybody likes to steal my baby whoever has her when she needs changed has to change her." Callie says smirking. They all complain about the new rule. Callie is amazed how good Jesus is with Peyton. "You are really good with her." Callie says and Jesus smiles. "She is pretty cool."
An hour later Peyton is super fussy and tired of being passed around. "I know sweet pea. How about we try the swing?" Callie puts her in the swing and turns it on. When Peyton finally calms down she walks back over to the couch and cuddles with Jamie. They both end up a sleep. Lena and Stef keep everybody out of the living room until Grams and Grandma Sharon get there. They greet everybody as they come in. "Where is my great grand baby?" Sharon asks. Jamie gets Peyton out of the swing and she protests very loudly. "Just put her back in the swing." Callie tells Jamie. "Sorry she isn't in the best of moods today." They understand. "It's okay we can admire her from here. She beautiful is Callie. She looks just like you." Sharon says. "Yes she is and look at her hair." Grams adds. They visit with all the grandkids except Brandon won't be in until late tonight. "How are you feeling Callie?" Sharon asks. "Better. I'm still a little sore."
That evening Jamie and Callie are giving Peyton a bath hoping it would help her sleep. But she wasn't having any of it. "What happened to my sweet baby that wasn't so fussy?" Callie asks Jamie. "Cal she is in a new place with different people holding her non stop. She is probably confused. It's quite at our place and here is anything but quite." Jamie says as cuddles with Peyton. "You're right we shouldn't have come. I'm sorry okay. Mother's day has always been hard for me okay, and it being my first I wanted to be here." Jamie put Peyton down on the bed and holds Callie. "No I'm sorry Callie, I should have known Mother's Day would be hard for you." Jamie says as he kisses the top of her head. Callie kisses him. Callie sees why Peyton has settled down and quickly takes a picture. "It looks like we have a thumb sucker." Jamie says and Callie goes to her hold room and brings back a picture of her and her mom. She hands it to Jamie. "So she gets it from you." He smiles. "You know you still rub your nose when you're tired or up set." Callie nods. "I knew I rubbed it. But I didn't know why until Donald told me I would suck my thumb and curl my fingers over my nose."
Peyton was up most of the night Jamie let Callie sleep. He stayed down in the living room so Peyton wouldn't keep everybody else up. Even though Jamie is exhausted he wants to make this day perfect for Callie. He makes her favorite breakfast he puts it on a tray with a big cup of coffee. He carries the tray and Jude carries Peyton up to their room. Jamie sets the tray down and takes Peyton from Jude. "Thanks bud." Jude nods and goes to help the others finish Breakfast for the moms and grandmas. Jamie wakes Callie up with a kiss. "Happy 1st Mother's Day." Callie smiles. "Thank you baby." Callie kisses Jamie back then takes Peyton from Jamie and kisses her cheek. "Thank you Pey." Callie eats while Jamie changes and gets Peyton dressed for the day. Callie finishes breakfast and takes a shower. Jamie goes down stairs the last of the gifts ready for Callie.
Jamie made reservations for Callie, the moms, and grandmothers to go have a nice relaxing day at the spa from Peyton of course. While the rest of them make lunch for the moms. Callie comes downstairs after she is done. "Happy Mother's Day Callie!" Jude and Mariana say at the same time. "Thanks guys. So what's the plan for moms and grandmas?" Mariana looks at Jamie he nods. "Well we are making lunch for you guys." Callie knows something else is up but doesn't say anything. Callie has to laugh when Peyton starts to root around Mariana chest. "Sorry sweetie those don't have what you are looking for." Callie takes Peyton in the other room to feed her as the rest of the family makes their way down stairs. "Happy Mother's Day Moms." Callie says as she burps Peyton. "Thanks bug. Happy Mother's Day to you too." Stef says as she sits next to Callie. Callie hands Stef her gift bag and then hands Lena hers. "These are from me." They both get pictures of them with Peyton. "Thank you Cal." Lena and Stef say. The rest of the kids give them their gifts. Jamie gives Callie a necklace with Peyton's birthstone. "Thank you babe. I love it." Callie says as Jamie puts it on her. "There is one more gift for all of you, from Peyton. All the moms are going to new spa for the day." The grandma's are thrilled and thank Jamie. So do Stef and Lena. Callie kisses Jamie. "Thank you baby but you didn't have to do so much." Jamie wraps his arms around her. "Yeah I do. You are an amazing mother and you deserve to have a relaxing day."
Callie doesn't want to ruin Jamie's gift because he has been so sweet to her but she really doesn't want to be away from Peyton so long. She is only two weeks old and she has been so fussy. "What's the matter Cal?" Jamie asks. "I know you had this whole day planned and the trip to the spa is amazing but I don't want to leave her for that long…" Callie says bracing for the argument that she figures is coming. "Okay. I'm sorry I should have thought about that. If you don't want to go you don't have to go." Callie is surprised that he isn't arguing with her.
The rest of the day was nice they enjoyed lunch and then on their way home they stopped and visited Callie's mom. She introduced her to Jamie and Peyton. The drive wasn't bad and Peyton slept most of the time. Which Callie was thankful for since Jamie told her he is going back to work this week, but they have big new client coming in. She knows he can't stay home forever but she was hoping for at least one more week. Callie lets it go she is tired to argue with him.
