Chapter 56: Mar'i Grayson
I am still holding our baby when the nurse walks in.
"Congratulations, she's beautiful" she says.
"Thank you", I say and smile.
"Have you two thought of a name yet?" she asks.
"Yep we had it picked out for months, her name is Mar'i Grayson", Richard says.
The nurse then fills out the birth certificate and Richard and I sign it.
"Are we allowed to have visitors now?" I ask.
The nurse nods, "Yes, your friends and family are eager to see you, I'll send them in shortly", the nurse says.
After the nurse leaves, I notice Richard is digging in his bag.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"I'm looking for something", he says and continues digging in his bag, "Found it!" he yells and pulls out his video camera and turns it on.
"Now what are you doing?" I ask.
"I'm documenting our first moments with our child so we can look back at this later", he says and points the camera as I roll my eyes in amusement.
"This is your mom, say Hi Kori", Richard says as he zooms in.
"Hi", I say and smile.
"And this is you Mar'i", he says and zooms in on Mar'i who I am still holding; she squirms a bit in her pink blanket.
"And I'm your over excited dad Richard says and points the camera to him and smiles.
I hear a loud knock on the door and Richard points the camera in that direction, "Come in", he yells.
The door opens and our friends and family come rushing in with balloons, flowers, and teddy bears in hand.
"Aww", everyone says in unison as they see Mar'i in my arms.
"Say hello to Mar'i Grayson", I say.
"She's beautiful!" Bee says.
"Yea she looks way to cute to be yours bro", Tim teases and Richard scowls and punches Tim in his arm.
"I was only kidding! Sheesh it's obvious she got her black hair from you", Tim says and rubs his arm.
"She looks just like you when you were born", my dad says.
"Thanks dad, do you want to hold her?" I say and carefully hand Mar'i to him.
"I want to hold her next!" Gar yells.
"No, I want to hold her next!" Vic yells.
"Will both of you shut up and wait your turn", Rachel says and both Gar and Vic pout.
Everyone takes their turn holding Mar'i, Richard makes sure to capture every moment on camera.
"Your turn Bruce", Richard says.
Bruce shifts awkwardly, "Umm how do I hold her?" he says.
Richard sighs and hands his camera over to Vic, "Put your arms like this and make sure to support her head", he says.
Richard positions Mar'i in Bruce's arms and let's go and Bruce stands a bit awkwardly.
"This is kind of nice..." Bruce says.
Richard walks over and stand next to me, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" he asks.
"I believe so… is he actually smiling?" I say as I notice the smile that is now present on Bruce's face.
"You are getting this on camera right?" Richard asks Vic and he nods.
Bruce scowls, "I'm not that heartless you know", Bruce protest.
Mar'i starts to stir and let's out a small cry, "Sounds like someone is tired", I say and hold my arms out for my daughter. Bruce walks over and carefully hands her to me.
"Well we all should be going, it's been a long day", he says.
"You can say that again", Gar says and wipes his forehead in exhaustion.
"We'll see you later Kori, call us if you need anything", Rachel says.
"Ok, and thanks guys", I say.
I say goodbye to my friends, my parents stay for a while and give me and Richard a speech about parenthood. Bruce mostly observes and Tim falls asleep in a nearby chair.
"Mom you can stop worrying Richard and I will be fine", I say.
"Ok sweetie, I'm just so happy", she says, "I can't believe my little girl has a daughter of her own now", she says and starts to tear up.
"Will you stop will the crying already", my dad complains.
"Shut up", my mom says and dabs her eyes.
"Come on, I think the new parents can use all the rest they can get", my dad says and gets up from his chair.
"Ok, call me if you need anything", my mom says.
"I will, bye mom, bye dad", I say as they wave goodbye.
"Guess we should be going too", Bruce says and gets up from his chair.
"Tim gets up!" he shakes Tim arm.
"Huh, what?" Tim says disoriented.
"We're leaving", Bruce says.
"Ok, see you later Kori" Tim says, "Take care bro", Tim says and leaves.
Bruce walks over to Richard, "I'm proud of you son", he says and pats his shoulder.
"Um, thanks", Richard says stunned.
Bruce gives me a quick nod before he leaves.
"A complement and a smile in one day? I think Bruce is going soft", Richard says and I laugh.
"So what do we do now?" he asks.
"Enjoy the moment I guess", as Mar'i sleep peacefully in my arms.
"I still can't believe where parents", I say.
"I know, it still hasn't sunk in yet", Richard says.
"Just wait until her first diaper change then I'm sure it will sink in", I tease.
Richard wrinkles his nose, "I think that's now", he says.
I sniff, "Yea I think so too", I say.
"Want to change it together?" he asks.
"Sure", I say.
We sit Mar'i on the changing table; Richard opens the diaper, "Eww," he says and waves his hand in front of his nose.
I swat his shoulder, "Don't be such a wimp", I say and Richard pouts.
I quickly discard the old diaper and Richard and I change the diaper just as the nurse showed us.
"See that wasn't so bad", I say.
"Yea I guess not", he says and wraps Mar'i back in her blanket.
I sit on the edge of the bed and Richard sits next to me, "I'm exhausted", I say.
"Me too", Richard says and he starts humming and rocks Mar'i to sleep.
"What song are you humming?" I ask.
"It's a lullaby my mom used to sing to me when I was little", he says.
"Oh", I say, "I think Mar'i likes it", I say.
Richard smiles, "I think she does too", he says.
After Mar'i is finally asleep we carefully place her in the crib the nursery gave us.
"Goodnight Mar'i", I say and kiss her forehead.
I sigh and crawl into the hospital bed my exhaustion finally catches up to me as I crawl into bed.
Richard lays down next to me begins stroking my hair and kisses my forehead.
I glance up at him, "Have I told you I love you lately?" I say.
Richard smiles, "I love you too", he says as I slowly drift off to sleep.
