Hey,what up peeps? TG101 in da house! We only have a few more exams, Charlotte's being next Wednesday and Georgia's being next Monday. Congratulations to who was the lucky winner and as promised, you will be receiving 1000 cyber cookies (Although some of them may be half eaten.) and the o/c cameo will be in the next chapter (We already have an idea.) We recently bought 'All Dogs go to Heaven' as well as 'My Neighbour Totoro'. All dogs was okay, not as good as we thought and Totoro was just sweet. We're also wanting to go to the MCM expo in London but our Mum still needs convincing. Peace Out! TG101 :-D x
Mercedes groaned as she rolled over in her sleep. It had been one hour since she had given birth to her son whom she hadn't even given a name yet. Everything from the waist down was throbbing and hurting.
She winced,her breasts feeling heavy "Ow." she mumbled, sitting up. Glancing at her stomach she sighed. Well the puffiness wasn't going to go down any time soon.
She moved her legs slightly, alerting a new nurse in the corner.
"Ah, Mrs Evans! My name's Penelope but you can call me Penny and I'm going to be your nurse for the next few days."
"Mercedes or 'Cedes is just fine." Mercedes smiled weakly, letting out a yawn. She gasped suddenly, as she realised her son wasn't in the room "Where is he?"
"You mean your baby? He's in the nursery with the other babies. Soon, we're going to transfer you into a ward where you'll stay for 2-3 days depending on how you heal. Do you want to see him?"
"Please" she said, sounding grateful "I still need to think of a name for him though"
"Ah, the old name game. Me and partner took a week to name our daughter and we're still not sure about what we're going to call this next one. All we know is that it's going to be another girl. Jasmine likes Satsuki from My Neighbour Totoro but we're not so keen on the idea." Penny explained, putting the blood pressure cuff on Mercedes' arm.
"Alright, this is going to be tight."
"He's SO cute!" Kurt gushed over the phone. He was talking to Blaine, a cup of coffee in his hand "Mommy's doing fine, just tired...yep..alright...love you too Blaine."
Switching off the phone, Kurt smiled fondly at his godson. He did look like Mercedes but with a light hue and Sam's eyes. He could also swear that his lips were unusually swollen for a baby that young.
But he still hadn't a name. No matter what Kurt or anyone else suggested, Mercedes couldn't find a name that would suit him.
"Why don't you just do Sam junior?" Sugar suggested, staring in awe at the small bundle that lay in her arms.
"No. Sam made it specifically clear that he is not having his kid named Sam junior. I'd like something tasteful but at the same time suitable."
"What about something religious?" Sugar suggested again, laughing as the infant wriggled, kicking the blanket away with his feet.
"Mm...I'm not a big fan of Jonah Samuel Evans personally. Momma, pass us the baby book"
Dianne passed her daughter the book, taking several more pictures of the baby who was now looking around contentedly.
Flicking through the book, Mercedes kept on stealing glances at her son, to make sure he was alright "Nope...nope...ew, no! Hmm...what about...Jaden? It means God's heard?"
"Jaden Samuel Evans...do you like that one? Huh?" Sugar asked the small bundle,kissing his nose.
"I think he likes that one." she smiled, gently handing the blanket to Dianne who returned him to Mercedes.
"It suits him...Jaden Samuel Evans."
"Mom, could you help me with his bath?" Mercedes called, wincing as she knelt down to undress Jaden. It was their first night home since leaving that morning. Kurt had decided to help because although he didn't have a CLUE about babies apart from his little sister, he and Blaine had talked about adopting a newborn so he decided to get all the experience he could get.
"Sure Mercy, just give me a few minutes." Dianne called back from the kitchen.
"Will do." Mercedes muttered, gently picking her son, making his arms flail "Hey, it's okay Jay-Jay, it's alright. Come on sweetie, let's get ready for bed yeah? Let's get ready for bed."
"Alright, now how to do this..." she mumbled, looking at the bath then back at Jaden, who was laying back in the special baby bath Santana and Brittany gave them.
Kurt sighed, shaking his head as Mercedes worked it out.
"Allow me boo. If there is one baby expertise I'm good at, it's bathtime. I used to bath Meggie ALL the time! Now, here's what you do..."
"...that's done" Kurt grinned, taking him out of the water and wrapping him in a warm towel. "You're a good boy aren't you Jaden?"
Jaden responded by yawning, his small pink tongue poking out of his mouth.
"Looks likes someone's hungry." Mercedes cooed, giving him a gentle hug "Let's get you fed and then bed yeah? Come on Jay"
Mercedes groaned as she heard a wail come from the crib. Blinking, she glanced at the clock. 5:37 am
"Guess your diaper needs changing." she smiled, yawning.
She still hadn't quite grasped the technique of changing a diaper and whilst she could do it, she still needed a bit of assistance.
"Kurt, code double D A, I repeat, code double D A." she mumbled sleepily through the baby monitor.
"Hear you loud and clear." he mumbled back, sounding grouchy. She didn't blame him, what with it being Jaden's first night, he woke up 5 times.
Moments later, Kurt came in the room, wearing some plaid pyjama pants and a t shirt of Blaine's with the Superman logo on. His hair looked a mess, there were dark rings under his eyes and his shirt was stained with formula.
"Oh,Kurt honey..."Mercedes cooed, cupping his chin in her hands and inspecting his face "Boo, you look shattered. Help me with this and go back to bed, the next time he wakes up I'll do it."
"But I..."
"I know you're here to help but you also need your sleep. Now do as I say, otherwise I'll have to confiscate your hairspray, you understand?" Mercedes asked, a hint of amusement in her voice.
"Yes ma'am."
"Good."
"Mercedes, I..."
Dianne paused as she opened the door. Mercedes was lying on the bed with a gentle yet firm grip on Jaden, both mother and son were asleep.
She smiled, closing the door, shushing Calvin in case he barked.
And with that, Dianne headed downstairs to make breakfast.
