Chapter 52

"I take it you're a bit keen to go home huh." Ryan smiled as he entered the hospital room the next morning. Alex had packed their bags already and Phoebe was already waiting in her car seat, sound asleep. "That's not a bad thing…I've missed everything about home, even your snoring." She said looking up at him. "I do not snore, I've missed you too." He said walking over to the bed to check if she has everything. They spent two days on hospital and Dr Roberts finally gave them the go ahead to be discharged today. "And, I do not want hospital food anymore, I can do with some decent home cooked meals." Alex laughed kissing her husband. "You can supervise meal perpetrations." Ryan answered seriously. "Do you have everything?" He asked. "Yep." Alex reassured him scanning the room just in case she forgot something. Seeing him picking up the two bags, while she carried the car seat. "You sure you can manage? I can take her." Ryan offered but Alex shook her head pointing towards the door so they can head out of the room and sign the discharged papers.

They took their time moving through the hospital, and in the elevator Ryan told her to put the car seat down so she doesn't have to strain herself unnecessarily. Alex was surprised to see how close to the entrance he managed to get a parking spot. Alex secured Phoebe's car seat in the back and made sure she was strapped in properly, and soon they were on their way home.

When they got home Ryan took Phoebe out of the car seat who woke up the moment she was lifted into her father's arms. He took her for a trip around the house and showed her the nursery, telling her every detail of how they prepared it and the part of how long it took him to put the crib together. Alex went upstairs to put their bangs down while they finished up their walk around the house. By the time they had lunch and settled in exhaustion caught up with all three of them. They laid in bed watching Phoebe sleep for some time in between her parents before Alex dozed off. She woke a few hours later to see Ryan sleeping with Phoebe snuggled close to his chest, with one and on her back. Alex smiled at the sight and took out her phone to snap a quick picture, before browsing safe sleeping for babies.

Phoebe stirred waking her father in the process Alex sat up and took her off his chest as he yawned and stretched. Turning on his side looking at Alex feeding their baby. Ryan sighed heavily causing Alex to look at him with concern. "And that?" She asked eyeing him. "I got a call from O'Conner today, and he asked me to report back to work tomorrow." Ryan said carefully not sure how she would react. "How do you feel about going back?" Alex asked trying to hide the sadness in her voice. She wasn't sure if she was ready to do all of this on her own from nine to five yet, without the help of her husband. "I don't know how to feel about it, my work's been piling up but I don't want to leave you and Phoebe home all day by yourself." He answered as of reading her mind. "I'm not saying you're incapable of looking after her on your own but, I would feel more at ease being here with you." He softly, and Alex gave him a small smile. "I feel the same, this is all new to me but I'm sure I can manage, and when my back's against the wall I promise to call you." Alex told him honestly. "That's still not making me feel any better or make me feel less guilty, but it'll do for now." He said sitting up.

After Alex burped Phoebe and wiped her mouth, they sat in bed talking for a while Ryan went to the store to get some dinner. He was adamant that he didn't want Alex cooking already and he wasn't planning on giving her his cuisine, so they opted for some healthy take out. "Just me and you now Phoebe Grace." Alex said kissing her little nose. "I know Daddy showed you your room yesterday, but there's no way I'm letting you sleep there all alone." Alex told her daughter. "So, you'll be sleeping in another crib right next to our bed." Alex pointed to the other crib they got as a gift at the baby shower. At first she didn't think they'd use it but it came in handy right now. Phoebe looked at her mother the entire time while tangling her hands together, opening and closing her mouth every now and then as if she wanted to comment on everything Alex said. "Come on, bath time, then we put you to bed. Does that sound like a plan?" Alex requested as she laid the baby in the middle of the bed, placing pillows around her so she wouldn't roll of the bed, not that a baby who is three days old can roll but in Alex's mind you can never be too sure.

While she was busy bathing Phoebe, Ryan returned from the store and he helped her out. They out her to bed and went into the kitchen to eat their diner on the couch, watching some movie on TV. Ryan kissed her forehead as she laid with her head on his shoulder. "And that?" She asked without looking up at him. "Just for being you, and for being amazing." He answered repeating the gesture leaving Alex smiling to herself slightly. This is one moment she never thought she'd encounter in her life. Being married and having a family of her own.
