The Sister (2) - Chapter 10
While I was in recovery Paul had the task of naming the baby.He picked out Alexander Michael Levesque.
An hour later, Paul came into the room first and I was half awake.he kissed my forehead and I woke up all the way.I said, "Hi baby." Paul said, "Hey sweetie.how you feeling?" I said, "Not too bed.I really like the drugs.no pain. How's the baby?" He said, "Fine.I think.I decided to not see him, until we were together." I said, "Well we have to go down the hall to Neonatal, because they can't bring him in here it's unsanitary."
So he called the nurse, and they brought in a wheelchair and Paul wheeled me down to the Neonatal.we went in and put gowns on, as soon as Paul put his hand in the incubator, the baby grabbed Paul's pinky finger, and Paul had tears in his eyes.Paul was actually down on one knee and was staring at the baby.He said, "I don't believe it.he's actually ours.we have a son."
I said, "Yea.he's so beautiful too.so I told them to let you pick out the name.what did you pick?" He smiled and said, "Alexander Michael.I thought something after his mama would be appropriate.especially since she worked so hard to get him here." I smiled and said, "I think it's beautiful." Paul said, "See, that's what I was saying.I think he's beautiful, just like you also.I love you baby." I said, "I love you too." Paul leaned over and we kissed a couple of times and he took me back to my room because I was started to get drowsy again.
I was in the hospital for 4 days, and released.we went back up to the hospital every day for four weeks straight.at the end of one month Xander.as Paul liked to call him.had moved his weight up to 6 lbs and 4 ounces.and grew up to 21 inches long. My remark was, "Good lord, he's starting to get big like his daddy."
When we got to bring Xander home, Paul was so excited. Everyone was waiting at the house for us.Stephanie ran out and said, "Don't even think about picking that boy up.I'm holding him first." Paul said, "Be my guest.we'll let him pee on you second, since he got me first.for some reason he doesn't pee on Alex.just me."
Steph laughed and said, "Welcome to fatherhood.that's the first thing that Andy did when Andrew picked him up.we had just given him a bath so he was cold and naked.I didn't warn Andrew cause I figured he had to be initiated into fatherhood some how." I rolled with laughter.and said, "You should of seen Paul's face when Xander did it.he was just stunned.absolutely stunned.I wish I would have had a camera.cause there's no way he'll ever have that look on his face again."
We all walked in side and Stephanie was cooing with Xander in her arms as she sat on the couch.by now Marie was up walking around, saying very few words.mostly mommy and daddy.Andy was very curious about everything, so when Stephanie came in holding the baby.he walked over and Steph said, "Look Andy.this is you're new baby cousin Xander."
Andy leaned over and gave Xander kisses on the head.
