to ProFfeSseR: I dont think that neither the husband nor the children are allowed to stay, because in general you dont get a single room. But I just liked the idea ; )
Chapter 34: Mummy
"Mummy!" William said.
"Ssshhh! Will, let mommy sleep. Come we´ll dress you and then get something to eat, okay?" Luke whispered and took William out of the bed the nurses had brought them. He walked into the small hospital bathroom with his son, undressed him, changed his diaper and dressed him in fresh clothes, before he changed also.
"Now, lets brush our teeth and then lets roll!" Luke told William and stood the boy on top of the toilet seat and handed him his toothbrush and took his own. Of course in the end he brushed Williams teeth again, washed his face and his hands, and William watched him curiously when he shaved.
Then they walked out of the room, very slowly, because William wanted to walk at his fathers hands again. They walked downstairs into the small cafe and bought some doughnuts, bagels, rolls and tea and then walked back upstairs, this time Luke carried William, which the boy accepted because he was eating the sweets the woman in the cafe had given him.
"Hey there you are! I woke up and was all alone!" Lorelai said when they entered her room again. She was nursing Sara and Laila lay in her lap, playing with her hands again.
"Well I see you changed that and have company now" Luke said and walked over to her, kissed her first and then his daughters. He stood William on the floor next to Lorelais bed and started to unpack the food they had bought and then walked outside to get some plates.
"Mummy!" William said and looked up to Lorelai.
"Oh sweety, you have to wait a second, I can´t pick you up now. Wait ´til your sister is fed, okay?" Lorelai tried and stroked his cheek.
"Mummy!" William said again, a bit louder this time and held up his arms in her direction.
"Will, baby, I´m so sorry but you have to wait" Lorelai said and repositioned Sara.
"Mummy!" William began to cry and he still held his arms up. He tried to walk, but fell down and sat on the floor, still holding his hands up.
"Mummy! Mummy!" he cried and tears ran down his cheeks. He looked disappointed and didn´t understand why his mother didn´t pick him up, like she usually did.
"Please, sweety stop crying! Mommy will pick you up as fast as she can, I promise!" Lorelai tried to calm him, but had also tears in her eyes, because of the disappointed look her son gave her, while he called her again and again. He began to sob louder and Laila joined his crying, while Sara was still latched on her mothers breast.
"Sshh, Laila, don´t cry my princess, everything is fine." Lorelai said to the baby lying in her lap and stroked over her head, now she was also crying.
"What´s wrong? What happened?" she heard Luke´s voice and looked up. He placed the plates on the night-stand and picked William up, who was still calling his mother. He sat down on Lorelai´s bed, his son crying against his shoulder.
"Oh, Luke. Im not able to handle this. To handle them. You were gone two seconds and he started crying, ´cause I couldn´t pick him up... and he looked so disappointed... and then Laila also began to cry... and I didn´t know what to do first!" she sobbed.
"Hey, calm down. It´s not that bad when he has to wait sometimes. And you know that he either screams or cries, when he doesn´t gets what he wants. It´s no big deal. I´m here now." Luke said and stroked her tears away with his thumb.
"And you young lady, don´t need to imitate your brother. I think you are not that innocent, huh?" he said and picked up Laila with his free arm and she stopped crying immediately.
"See, problem solved" Luke smiled at Lorelai and she smiled back.
"Maybe I´m just a bit emotional at the moment!" she confessed and had to laugh when Luke nodded.
"Look William, your baby sister Laila. Can you say Laila?" Lorelai asked him. He took his head from Luke´s shoulder and turned to look at her.
"Mummy" he smiled and held out his right hand to her, then opened it. Inside was a single gummi-bear.
"Oh, is that for me, my boy?" Lorelai asked him.
"Mummy" he grinned and she took the bear from his hand and ate it.
"Such a good gummi-bear. Best gummi-bear I´ve ever eaten! Thank you so much! You´re the love of my life, you know that?" Lorelai smiled and then hugged him with her free arm. William kneeled in Luke´s lap and hugged his mother, his head on her shoulder now. Then they heard a plop and had to laugh when Sara unlatched from Lorelai´s breast.
"Hand her over, I think Will wants some time with his mother" Luke smiled and took Sara, while Lorelai took William and sat him in her own lap, still hugging him. Luke stood up and walked around with his daughters against his shoulders.
"Did you buy breakfast with your daddy?" Lorelai asked and stroked Williams back.
"He walked all the way!" Luke said.
"Wow, I´m so proud of you. Soon you´ll walk without help, huh son? What do you think, time for breakfast? I´m hungry. Are you hungry, too?" she asked William and sat him on her legs to clasp her bra and pull down her shirt.
"Mummy" William laughed and touched her breast with his hand.
"Oooooh noooo, baby! No way I start nursing you again. These two are enough and you are way too old. You have teeth now, you can eat." Lorelai said while she dressed.
"Doughnut?" she asked and handed him piece of doughnut.
"Will...!" Luke said and looked at his son, who still had the doughnut in his hand. William looked confused from Luke to Lorelai and back to Luke, who still looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Mummy" William said then and tried to feed Lorelai the doughnut.
"Good boy!" Luke chuckled
"Luuuke!" Lorelai squeaked after she had swallowed.
"You´re ruining our sons eating habits. If he spends more time with you he will eat just as much rabbit food as you and then when he won´t ever join our movie nights, because he´ll get sick!"she explained and then looked at William, who looked shy now.
"And you boy, don´t ever listen to your father when it comes to food. Mommy knows what´s the good stuff, believe me!"she said and handed him the half of a bagel this time, which he stuffed fast in his little mouth, before Luke could react.
"Ha! Strike!" Lorelai yelled and threw her hand up in the air.
"Ha!"William yelled immitating her and also threw his hand in the air.
"I don´t believe this!" muttered Luke and lay the sleeping Laila down in her bassinet. Sara remained in his arms, she was still wide awake.
"Don´t you wanna eat something?" Lorelai asked him innocently, but with a grin.
"Sure" he answered and walked over to the chair next to her bed. He sat down and grabbed a roll and some tea.
"Should I take her?" Lorelai asked him.
"No, it´s fine" he answered. William, who was still sitting in his mothers lap leaned towards the baby and inspected her curiously. Then he poked her in the cheek with one finger and waited what would happen. But when she remained silent he took his finger away for a second, then placed it on her lips. Sara opened her mouth and started to suck on it. William looked shocked, then took it away quickly. Lorelai had to laugh when he held his now wet finger in front of Lorelais face with a disgusted look. When she just laughed and didn´t react, he called her. Lorelai bend her head down and also sucked at the tip of his finger for a second. William was even more confused now. He looked at his still laughing mother, then at his own finger and then turned and showed Luke his finger.
"Daddy!" he yammered, still staring at his own finger.
"Ah jeez, Lorelai!" Luke said, took a napkin from the night-stand and dried Williams finger. William started to smile and held out his arms for Luke. Luke took him with his free arm and placed him in his lap, then handed him a bit of the roll.
"Daddy, my hero!" Lorelai said in a high-pitched voice and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"See son, next time you can eat your gummi-bear. No more sweets for your crazy mother." Luke said and then looked at Sara who smacked her lips.
"And no gummi-bears for you!" he smiled down at her and then offered her his finger. She immediately started sucking at it.
"Is it possible that she is hungry again? You fed her two seconds ago!" Luke said.
"She didn´t eat that much. I think she was too distracted to eat when you two came back, maybe she is still hungry" Lorelai suggested and pulled up her shirt again and unclasped the bra. The she took her daughter, who latched on the second Lorelai placed her on her breast.
"You really need to work on her table manners" Luke laughed when Sara sucked and smacked loudly.
"Yeah, but it never worked with him. I think our children are just too greedy to behave!" Lorelai smiled and stroked Sara´s cheek.
"They are their mothers kids! You can´t deny it!"
"Obviously not with her sucking at my breast and this huge scar on my belly."
"You´re still sad you couldn´t have a normal birth?"
"A bit. But I´m happy they are here and they are healthy and I think that´s all that matters."
"You´re right. Doughnut?" Luke asked while William snuggled against his chest while he ate his roll.
"Sure!" she said and opened her mouth. Luke raised his eyebrows and shook his head.
"Please!" she said and batted her eyelashes
"For the mother of your three children! Pretty please!" she added a pout, then opened her mouth again. Luke rolled his eyes and placed the first bit of doughnut in her mouth.
