Sorry it's been awhile but have been extremely busy. Well this is it for this story. I hope everyone has enjoyed it and as much I have enjoyed writing it. I apoligize if I messed up any of the facts on having a baby in hospital but personally I haven't had the experience yet. Please let me know what you think and what you think about the ending. Also, I have asked before to let me know if you want me to write a sequel. I have had a request for one but didn't seem to get much response from others. If I do a sequel I won't do it right now but down the road a little bit. I want to write some other stories that I have in the works first. So again please let me know and thanks to everyone who has given me their feedback. That is what encourages me to continue on.
There is a knock on the door.
"Can we come in? Are you guys decent?" Lucky asks
"Unfortunately yes," Nikolas responded jokingly.
"Shut up…like I'm really in a mood for that."
"I know. I'm just kidding."
Lucky walks in the room followed by the whole clan. Liz, Lulu, Laura, Luke, and then Spencer comes running in the room and jumps on the bed.
"Be careful Spencer Nadine has just gone through an ordeal. She's really not up to it physically right now."
"It's okay. Come here Spencer."
Nadine pats the bed where Spencer can sit between her and Nikolas.
"How are you feeling Nadine?" Laura asked
"A little worn out but beyond that amazing. Did you guys get to see Calista, yet?"
They all nodded their heads yes.
"Yeah we saw her in the nursery she is absolutely beautiful." Lulu says
"I know isn't she? We did real good." Nadine said while putting her arms around Nikolas' shoulders.
Spencer sat there fidgeting on the bed.
"Did you get to see your little sister yet, Spencer?" Nadine asked.
He shook his head no.
"Well soon we'll change that. Her name is Calista and she is really little so you have to be really careful with her." Nadine says kindly to Spencer.
"Do you understand? This is all new to her. She needs time to grow and get strong." Nikolas says.
Spencer shakes his head yes.
"Okay."
Just then a nurse came in with Calista and gave her to Nadine.
"Spencer, this is your little sister Calista."
Nadine had her facing Spencer and he waved her hello and she reaches out for his hand. Spencer extended his so she could grab his finger and he started laughing.
"I think she likes me."
"Of course she does you're her big brother. Do you want to hold her?" Nadine asks
"Can I?"
"Of course you can."
Nadine moves to slide her from her arms to Spencer's. Nikolas was about to say something but Nadine read his mind.
"He'll be fine with her and we're right here if something happens."
Everyone in the room watched the tender moment between the family as Spencer holds his little sister for the first time.
Calista started giggling and then Spencer started giggling back.
Everyone in the room started laughing.
Calista was moving her body and she started crying. Spencer froze and then he started crying. Nadine took Calista from his arms and Nikolas took Spencer in his arms telling him it was okay.
Spencer cried, "What did I do wrong? She just started crying."
"You did nothing wrong. She's a baby and she know how to talk yet. So, she communicates through crying. I think she may be hungry."
Nadine nods her head yes.
Everyone knew they had to leave to give the family some privacy while Nadine fed the little bundle of joy.
Everyone came over and said their goodbyes while watching Calista cry out.
Nadine moved her gown up so she could expose her breast while Calista took to it and looking completely satisfied.
"What is she doing daddy?" Spencer asked.
"Feeding Calista."
"Doesn't she need a bottle? Not always. The most natural way to feed a baby is from the mother's breast."
"Oh."
Nikolas and Nadine looked and smiled at his curiosity.
Nikolas thought Spencer and him should leave to give Nadine her privacy. But he just loved watching her as she feed their child. He thought it was just so beautiful. She finished feeding her and burped her and the child feel asleep in Nadine's arms. Nikolas took the sleeping child and brought her to the nursery so she could sleep and Nadine fell asleep on the bed and then he covered her with the blanket and then they left the room to give her time to sleep.
A week later
Nadine refused to have a nanny like Nikolas insisted they have especially at first. She wanted this time to bond with the child. The one thing that she had always wanted was to be a mother and to have a family. Now she has that and literally all of her dreams have come true. She has the most perfect husband and children. Now as she gets back in bed after feeding Calista in the middle of the night. She lies back down and Nikolas wraps his arms around her and kisses her shoulder.
"She okay?"
"Yeah. Went back to sleep. Let's see how long is will last this time?" Nadine says as she yawns.
"You're the one who needs the sleep. Let me get her the next time."
"No arguments here. " Nadine responded and fell asleep.
One hour later
Calista starts screaming. Nikolas gets up and heads off to the nursery. He picks her up and holds her in his arms. She immediately stops crying at the attention.
"So is that all you wanted was to be held huh?"
She starts giggling and then he starts laughing at her response.
Nikolas had to admit he had never ever been happier. He had the most beautiful and perfect wife and two great children and hopefully he and Nadine will have more. Nadine made him see how great it was to have children. Before he really didn't spend much time with Spencer but Nadine changed all that. When he fell in love with her he fell in love with the whole package including her incredible love for children. He had to admit he did love Emily and will never forget their time with each other. But he wouldn't give up Nadine for anything in this world. She is his savior and he had to admit she was the only woman that he had ever been with that truly brought out the good in him and he wanted himself to be a better man because of her.
As he held onto his daughter he saw both of them in her. He loved looking at her bright blue eyes just like her mother's. He just stared at her admiring her beauty.
"Now can you please do me a favor? Give your mom a break. She's exhausted and needs to sleep and I would appreciate if you could give her a few hours of sleep."
"Too late. Already up." Nadine says while peeking through the doorway.
"What are you doing awake? Go back to sleep."
"I could never sleep without you."
Nadine moves and puts her arms around his waist and kisses Calista's cheek.
"Awe isn't that sweet. Calista, you have the most amazing mom here. The woman, who I love more than anything in this world, that is except my most beautiful children."
"Now who's being sweet?"
All three of them were in an embrace then Spencer comes in the room.
"Hey what about me?"
They both laugh and Nadine picks him up in her arms.
"Who could ever forget about you my favorite little man?"
Then all four of them were embracing each other knowing how lucky they were for this moment and the gift of the love of one another. They knew that nothing could ever break this hold and that they would always love each other as they do at this very moment.
Who would have thought after when Nikolas and Nadine broke up the very first time after realizing Nikolas didn't love her that they would be back here as a family and loving each other as they do right now. To both of them it was a total unexpected surprise.
The End
