Fishing?
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or get paid to write this story. I just enjoy doing it.
Two days after the birth of Gavin, Ranger brings his family home from the hospital. He is a nervous wreck and is trying not to show it. Julie is over the moon with excitement that she has a few more days with her new little brother before going back to Miami. She will get to come stay with them again when school lets out for the summer.
"I'll sit back here with Gavin." Says Julie racing to the car. "I'll keep an eye on him until we get home."
"Okay, big sister!" Says Steph. They have an uneventful ride home from the hospital, Gavin sleeps the whole way there.
They pull into their drive way and already there are three cars in the drive. "It looks like we have company: Mom and dad, grandma Mazur and your parents and Ella and Louis." Says Steph. "It's going to be a long day, I can already tell." She said sighing.
"Babe, they can stay or go, it's your call." Said Ranger turning to her and taking her hands in his.
"We'll see how it goes, okay?" She said. They take the baby in the house and Steph's dad is waiting just inside the door. "Can I be the first one to hold my grandson?" He asked eagerly.
"Yes, you can dad." She said smiling. "Let's get him out of this car seat. Do you want to rock him in his room?"
"That sounds great!" He said following Steph into the nursery. "I bought him a new fishing rod and tackle box today," he said proudly pointing to a bag in the corner.
"Well….you know he won't be able to fish for a couple of years, right?" She said smiling at him.
"Yeah, I know." He said grinning at her in return. "I just couldn't resist."
