Chapter 9

Starr, Cole, and Nicole stayed at the hospital for a couple of days. Granted, despite Starr being a teenager giving birth to a baby girl, Nicole was healthy enough to go, and Starr was well enough to go home the day after giving birth to Nicole, they wanted to stay for Cole, as he was still healing from the bruises after Todd's attack.

Cole though was lucky to get out when they stepped out of the hospital. He was still hurting in some spots, but was glad to get out of the hospital.

"Hey, you ready to go?" Starr asked Cole.

"Yeah," said Cole. "It's time the three of us went home." Starr smiled as they shared a passionate kiss, while moving aside the carrier that Nicole was in. Nicole then started to fuss a little bit, and that broke Starr and Cole apart there.

"Don't worry," Starr said. "We've haven't forgotten you, beautiful."

Just then a car pulled up and parked right in front of them. Then, the car doors opened, revealing Langston and Markko.

"What are you guys doing here?" asked Starr, surprised but happy.

"Well, we decided to give the new family a ride home," said Markko. "It was Langston's idea."

"Um, actually it was both of ours," Langston retorted back.

"Uh, guys, can you save that for later?" Starr pleaded.

Cole just smiled, and then said, "Thanks guys," as he gave Langston a hug, and gave Markko a five. Starr also hugged Langston and Markko, and the five of them, after taking Nicole out of the carrier and putting her in the car seat that Langston and Markko had set in Markko's car, and headed off home.

"So, how does it feel to be parents, you guys?" Langston asked.

"A little weird," said Starr.

"Same here," said Cole. "But I know we're going to be okay."

"Are you sure Cole?" asked Starr.

" I got to go with Starr on this, Cole," said Markko. "I mean, I'm not trying to be negative, but you guys are going to have to figure this out. Remember, you guys aren't living together."

"We know, but we'll figure it out," said Cole.

"You think so, Cole?" said Starr.

"Hey, I admit, I know its not going to be easy doing this," Cole said, taking Starr's hand, "but I'm going to at least try to help take care of our daughter." Starr knew that he was being truthful, and went over Nicole to kiss Cole on the cheek. They both then looked at Nicole who turned over in her sleep. Langston was watching them, and thought that there was nothing better than seeing two of her best friends get even closer.

They finally arrive at La Boulaie, and headed out. Starr just decided to take Nicole to the house in her arms, as it was only a short distance. Cole brought her carrier and her bag in.

"We're home," Starr called out, as she walked in first; with Markko holding the door open.

"Hey, I'm glad you guys are out of there," said Blair, who was coming down the stairs, with Dorian and following behind her.

"All, let me see the new Cramer woman of the family," said Dorian.

"Hold on, Aunt Dorian," Starr said real quickly. "She's sleeping right now, and I want to keep her that way right now."

"All, and I was wanting to give her the grand tour," said Dorian.

"I think there will be time for that later, Dorian," said Langston.

"Well, there's actually a little something we like to show you right now," said Blair.

"Ooh, I wonder what it could be?" Cole pondered.

"Oh, trust me," said Blair. "You'll like this." They all headed upstairs, with Starr arranging Nicole so that she could use the staircase.

When they got to Starr's room, Blair went over to the doors, and then said, "Okay look at this," and opened the doors. Starr and Cole couldn't believe their eyes. There was a crib right next to the door opposite of where Starr's bed was, and right next to the bathroom was a changing table where she could change Nicole's diapers.

"You guys did this?" asked Cole.

"Yep," said Langston.

"I just helped assembled the crib," Markko confessed. "I stayed away from the table." Langston just looked at Markko at a weird way and shook her head.

"And to just let you know, Cole, their is also a crib and a table at your place when she sleeping over there," informed Blair.

"Wow, I'll have to go see that," said Cole.

Starr headed over to the crib and carefully put Nicole down so that she could rest. She watched her a little bit, and then grabbed a baby speaker and turned it on. She grabbed the other end, and then said to everyone, "We better let her rest." Everyone agreed, as they headed out so they could let Nicole sleep.

As Starr closed the doors, everyone headed down the stairs, but Starr called her mom to wait.

"What is it, Starr?" Blair asked her, Starr then just hugged her mother tightly. It surprised Blair a little bit, but then she returned the hug. "Thanks, Mom, for standing by with us," Starr said then.

"Hey, I'm your mother, and that girl's granddaughter, and I'm not going to leave our guys side, okay," Blair promised her daughter.

"Hey, not to change the subject, but has Dad been brought up on the charges yet?" asked Starr.

"No, the court was waiting for Cole to be released from the hospital," Blair informed her daughter. "Now that he's out, I'm pretty sure that Cole would be called to testify about your father did."

"That means I'll probably be called up too, as I am Dad's daughter," said Starr.

"Hey, we'll take it one day at a time, okay," said Blair. "Just like I said when you had Nicole inside of you." Starr smiled as she wrapped her arm around her mother, and they both headed downstairs to where the others were.

Stay tuned. You guys are going to like what's coming next.
