Wow! I can't believe we have been married a month. When we got home the adoption of Alex and Adam was finalized. Ana and I had our 4D ultrasound and we had pictures done. While we were at it, I scheduled family pictures for after Emma is born. Ana is now 37 weeks and still looking as beautiful as the day I met her. We have bought a house close to my parents so the kids would be near them. It is a 6 bed, 6 bath house. Ana also has her baby shower this weekend. We finally did the nursery in Pink and Grey owls. As I sit in this meeting Jason rushes in and says, "Mr. Grey, we have to go. Ana is in Labor."
As I rush out I tell Andrea that I will be gone the rest of the day. Once we are on our way, I call mom and ask her what happened. She told us that Leo came and said he was going to take the kids from Ana and that is when her water broke. I tell her to stay with Ana. Before I could say anything Jason said "I called our cousin and he is meeting us there. Ana was going to call him and give him a job as her CPO. Welch is a family friend of ours and knows him.
"I'm glad my wife knows to put a CPO on herself. What about the kids?"
"We are interviewing people."
When we get to the hospital, we go to the maternity floor. I see mom. "Where is Ana?"
"Dr. Greene told me to bring you directly to labor and delivery." I follow mom to Ana's room. Mom kisses me on the cheek and goes to join the rest of the waiting crew. Before entering, I have to gown up. When Ana sees me, she smiles, "I'm glad you made it. I could not do it without you, and I would also feel bad if you were not here to see Emma born."
"I would not miss it for the world. You, Emma, Alex, and Adam are my world."
After long hours of what has to be excruciating agony, we hear Emma's cries. It is the most surreal feeling knowing that I am the father of 3 kids. Emma weighed in at 7 lbs 13 ozs and 20 3/4 inches long. She looks just like Ana. I am so glad that I made it for the birth of our daughter. I'm not going to say anything right now to Ana but, I can't wait to have more kids with her.
As they are cleaning up Emma, I start to take pictures of her and sending them to my mom. I then text everyone else, "Emma Grace Grey born on October 23rd 2:30 pm. She is 7 lbs 13 ozs, 20 3/4" long. Both are doing fine."
We soon are back in the room and Ana is feeding Emma. As I stand here, I still cannot believe that I am a father to 3 beautiful children. When Ana is finished feeding her, I take Emma to burp her. Soon after that, mom brings Alex and Adam to visit. I help them to sit on the bed were Ana is with Emma and introduce them to Emma. "This is your sister, Emma." I get a picture of the 4 of them. I plan on getting that one framed and put it on my desk at work. I then ask mom if she could get a picture of the 5 of us. She does and asks me to send it to her so she can make a copy for herself. I've already decided to make copies for their desks here at the hospital. I text Ros and Andrea that I will not be in for 3 weeks as Emma was born today and I want to spend some time with my family.
Jason knocks on the door and waits before entering with another guy. "Chris, this is Luke, my and Ana's cousin. He is the one Ana hired as her CPO."
Jason walks over to Ana and hugs her and kisses her on the forehead. Luke does the same thing.
Holding his phone out to me, Jason asks, "Sir, would you mind taking a family photo of Sis, the kids, Luke, and me?" I do it and the preview is beautiful.
Two days have passed since Ana had Emma and we are headed home and the excitement is palpable. Emma is wearing a Seahawks dress with matching bow and hat. She also has one of her Seahawks passies and her Seahawks blanket covering her. Ros texted me and asked me if I could stop by the office so I said yes. It gives me the chance to show off Emma so, I am taking it. When we get in the car, I could not help but take a picture of her in her Seahawk stuff. She is so damn cute if I have to say so myself but, I'm her father so I can. We soon pull up to GEH and I help Ana get out then I get Emma out. We soon get up to my floor and that's when Andrea sees us.
"Hey, Ana, how are you feeling?", she asks, giving Ana a hug.
"Andrea, meet Emma.", I say, proudly presenting Emma in her car seat.
"She is so cute. I love her outfit.", Andrea coos while gently stroking Emma's cheek.
Ros come out of her office, bends over Emma's car seat, "Who do we have here? Oh, yeah, Hi, Christian."
"Ros, this is our daughter, Emma Grace. I did want to get home soon."
"I need you to sign some papers and then you can go home."
Ana, Emma, and I go to my office where I put the car seat on the couch. I get a fussy Emma out so Ana can feed her. When they're comfortable, I put the blanket over Ana and Emma so she can breastfeed. While Ana feeds Emma I sign the papers that I need to. Jason comes in with Luke and Welch. Ana gets up and gives Welch a hug. Jason then gives Ana and Emma both kisses on the forehead.
After we get done, we go home to get Adam and Alex and take them to my parents place since they are staying with mom and dad for the night. After we get them to mom and dads we head home. Ana is tired and it is time for Emma's feeding.
When we got home I helped Ana get comfortable so she could feed Emma. While she feed Emma i went to my office to check over some emails. After I get done I go check on Ana and Emma. What I see is so cute I take a picture. I take Emma from Ana and put Emma in the bed in our room. I then go back to the great room and wake Ana and we then go to our room.
As I lay in the bed i think to myself at how my life has changed in the last 5 months. I get a wonderful wife and 3 beautiful kids.
