Patrick POV

"Yes ma, he's completely healthy. Ten fingers, ten toes," I assured my mother.

"How's Ellen? She must be so exhausted," Ma said, sounding sad.

"She's fine, she was up and walking around about two hours after he was born. She's strong," I smiled thinking about her.

"That's great, tell her I said I hope she keeps that strength. She's going to need it," She sighed, I knew she wanted to be here so bad but she wasn't stable enough to travel on a plane yet.

"Listen ma, I'll call you later and send you more pics, love you," I said, hanging up the phone and going back in the room. Sandra, Eric, TR, and Katie came by to see the baby and the room had balloons and some flowers also a teddy bear from Sandra.

"Hey love," I whispered, coming in. Ellen was laying back while the baby was laying against her chest and a blanket was over them. He slept so soundly like that and it was amazing to watch Ellen jump right into parenting, she was a natural.

"Hey, how's your mom?" She whispered.

"Good, she wishes she could be here and she misses you," I sat down on the couch that had been converted to my bed.

"That's great, I'm going to try and get some sleep," she whispered.

"Ok, I think I might too," I closed my eyes and just five minutes later, one of the nurses knocked and came in, causing him to start crying.

"I'm sorry, I just have to come in and check on everything," she apologized.

"It's fine," I said, trying to not sound annoyed. I knew they were doing their job. After she checked everything, she swaddled him and sat him in the bassinet.

"Babe, go back to sleep. You need some sleep and I'll watch the baby to make sure he stays alright," I assured her.

"Your sweet but I am fine," She raised the bed up enough so she is in a sitting up position.

"You need sleep so you can be strong for when we go home tomorrow," I assured her, she was still hesitant before I picked him up and she finally agreed to get some sleep.

I laid him on my chest as I laid back in the reclining chair and turned on the TV, keeping the volume down. It felt wonderful, I loved it when Talula was this small and I could just hold her like this. I couldn't think of anywhere I would rather be than right here.

He began to stir and I changed him positions where he was laying in my arms instead of my chest. He made a grunt noise that I had noticed when he was sleeping. I slipped off to sleep with him on my chest.

Two hours past before I woke up to Will fussing against my chest. I assumed he was hungry and I sat up quietly, trying to calm him down a bit while I woke up Ellen.

"Ellen, I think he is hungry," I said in a low voice, she finally opened her eyes.

"Hmm?" She questioned with a yawn.

"He is hungry and my nipples are no use to him," I smiled as I handed him to her. I watched her closely, noticing how she knew exactly what to do and I was completely in awe.

"He's a champion eater," Ellen smiled up at me before returning her gaze to Will who was sucking away.

"Just like his momma," I smiled, going to sit down on the make-shift bed.

"Can you get my phone?" She asked as it started ringing across the room. I nodded, going to pick it up and give it to her. She answered it right away.

I grabbed my phone also, just looking through all the pictures I had taken that were not good at all.

"Hey Mar," Ellen said as she answered her phone, her eyes still glued to the baby.

"I'm going to call Talula," I said, kissing her forehead before stepping out. She knew Ellen had the baby and Jill had sent multiple text saying how Talula wanted to know how he was doing. I dialed Jill's number and she answered after a few rings.

"Hey Jill," I said and immediately I heard Talula in the background.

"Is that daddy? Can I talk to him?" She begged. Jill put the phone on speaker so she can talk to me also.

"Hi sweetie," I said and I could hear the excitement in her voice.

"Hi daddy! How is my brother?" she exclaimed. I was so glad that she loved him so much, she hadn't even yet.

"He's doing good, how's my princess?"

"I'm good. When can I meet him?" She questioned. She had asked that a lot and Ellen said she could come but I still wasn't sure about it.

"You have to wait a few days, when me and Ellen come home from the hospital, I promise I will have your mom come and drop you off so you can get to know your brother," I tried to be as gentle when letting her down.

"But daddy, why can't I come see you and momma today?" She questioned and I could just see Jill cringe when Talula called Ellen mom.

"Your momma is really tired," I tried to explain but she would really know since she was with us when Jill had her baby.

"Ok," she sighed.

"I promise in a few days you can spend as much time with your brother as you want," I had to distract her so she would get even more upset than she was already.

"Ok, well momma probably needs you," Talula got her normal voice again, even if I knew she was upset she couldn't see us today.

"I love you princess," I said before I hung up. I felt terrible, Talula should be able to come and see us but Ellen wants to wait until she is home for Talula to come see us.

I walked back into the room, Ellen had the baby laying against her chest, her eyes opened slightly as I came in and she closed them again.

"What did Tal say?" She asked, patting the baby's back slightly as she continued to keep her eyes closed. She looked completely beautiful, her body still had the glow to it, maybe it was motherhood that made her look different but she didn't.

"Oh nothing, she's excited to meet Will," I smiled, going to sit down. I couldn't keep my eyes off her and the sleeping baby in her arms, my son.

"Why are you staring at me," she said, looking over at me. Curiosity and happiness gleamed in her eyes.

"I'm not staring at you," I lied, a smile spread across my face as she raised her eyebrow at me.

"Liar, no lying around the baby," she kissed the top of Will's head before returning her gaze to me.

"Sorry babe, it's just you look so beautiful and I'm just so blessed," I realized at that moment that I had everything that I had ever wanted in my life. An amazing woman, a gorgeous daughter, a handsome son, and an amazing career that I love.

"You, come here," she grinned, motioning for me to come over to her. I stood up and went over to her bed, she grabbed my shirt and pulled me down next to her.

"I am the one who is blessed," she whispered before her lips brushed mine slightly.

"I love you," I smiled and laid down next to her, putting my arm across her and William.

"I love you both,"she smiled, I watched as she closed her eyes again. It was only a few minutes before her breathing steadied. I couldn't help but smile as I felt myself drifting off.
