Gone
Thank you so much for all the reviews on the previous chapter. I really hope that you are still interested in the story and that you want to see more. Please do really tell me what you think and be honest about it because I am really excited to find out what you think about this chapter.
So we make a bit of a jump in this chapter. I didn't show the whole delivery because I have done that in many of my Dawsey stories and I don't want to get repetitive. So that is why I left it out but I really hope that you do like this chapter and please enjoy!
A few weeks later
Matt looked at the little girl that asleep against Gabby. Her little dark blonde hair were tucked away under the bonnet and her tiny fist was beside her face, on the puffy pink cheeks as she was just as adorable as her mom.
''She is so beautiful.'' Matt said softly.
''I can't believe we are parents now.'' Gabby mumbled back softly with a smile as she carefully caressed the girl over her cheek. She opened her eyes for a second, Gabby smiling as she saw the beautiful big dark blue eyes.
''I can't wait to take her home.'' Matt smiled softly as he looked at the little girl. Early this morning she had been born and as Leslie Andi was doing all good and was ready to go home, they would be able to take her home tomorrow.
''She will love her nursery.'' Gabby said then and Matt smiled as he had spent so much time in it.
Gabby was just happy that their daughter was finally here and that they would be able to be the happy little family that they had hoped to be for months now. They had come such a long day but they knew that they would be able to do it.
''Here, you should hold her.'' Gabby said then and Matt took the little girl from her arms. She was still asleep, swaddled in the blanket and he just smiled as he was holding her. He could not even keep his eyes of her.
Gabby was smiling as he was holding their little girl, looking so proud and happy and knew that Leslie was here now and he was really a daddy. He had gotten through all of this so he could take care of her now and she was sure that he could do it. Smiling he was falling asleep, happy that they were really parents now.
''Daddy has been through a lot lately, but you helped me right through it.'' He said then and caressed his finger of the little pink cheek. Leslie remained asleep and so did Gabby.
''I don't know what I had done if you had not joined the family. I love your mom so much, I would always want to be with her but I did not want to hurt her again, but I know I would hurt her even more by leaving you alone…and now we are going to be the happiest little family.'' He mumbled softly and the little girl in his arms yawned.
''I know I have not been the best the man for you and your mommy just weeks ago, but now you are here and I am going to be the best dad I can be, I promise.'' Matt said softly as he held little Leslie in his arms. The little girl was still peacefully asleep.
Until the door burst open and Laura came running in, squealing when she saw her little niece.
''Ooh Antonio you have to see those little pink cheeks, she is beautiful!'' She yelled and Leslie moved her fist a little bit, like she was ready to fight the person that was trying to disrupt her nap.
''She looks an awful lot like Matt.'' Antonio smirked as he bend over the girl and she opened her eyes and although she could not see anything, it looked like she did not like what her uncle had just said.
''Did you just insult my fiancé and our daughter in one sentence?'' Gabby said as she pulled up one eyebrow.
''No, no that is not what I mean…'' Antonio said then as he looked at the little girl in his arms. He had just been joking, his little niece was perfect. They sat together for a little bit before Antonio and Laura left and at the door Antonio had to let one more joke pass.
''Hope she does not smell like little baby Gabby.'' Antonio joked.
Gabby pulled up one eyebrow again.
''She smells like perfect baby and pink clouds.'' Matt said with a cheesy smile as he looked at his little daughter again and Antonio left the room, rolling his eyes overly dramatic and Gabby just smiled. Matt seemed to see so captivated by their little baby.
One day later
Gabby held Matt as they walked inside. She was still a bit tired but so happy that they were bringing Leslie home.
He had tried to prepare the home as much as possible as he put the bags down.
''I will unpack them.'' He said then.
''No it is fine! I will do it!'' matt smiled as Gabby sat down with Leslie, nursing her as Matt was running around. She felt a little bad about him running around but it was great to see that he was doing so well and that he was so excited about being a dad.
A little later, after dinner, they ready to go to bed, Gabby still so tired.
Gabby looked how he was standing by the crib, leaning over slightly and his chin on his arms as he looks at Leslie. She looked as the light from the window was shining on his back and the scars that lit up on his back and she felt so bad, but was still happy that he had gotten over it and that they would be so happy with their little daughter. They would be great parents, she knew that.
''She will probably wake us up tonight.'' She said softly.
''I know, but she can do that, I don't mind.'' Matt smiled softly and she wanted to walk his way, but he got up then and walked to the window, closing the curtains and walking to Gabby then.
''She is beautiful.'' He smiled then and they shared a kiss, walking to bed together.
They laid down in bed and Matt held Gabby, so happy that they were parents now and he closed his eyes, happy to be home with Gabby and Leslie when he suddenly heard a cry.
''Your turn, daddy!'' Gabby poked him and Matt got up, pretending to be upset but he was just happy to be a dad, even it means getting up in the middle of the night.
NOTE: Little Leslie Andi made her way into the world and it welcomed by her whole family and her mom and dad are so happy about it! Matt is such a proud dad and knows that he couldn't have recovered without the baby but her and Gabby are just so happy about being parents but how will their first days as parents go?
Thank you so much for reading, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter just as much as the previous chapter. Please do tell me again what you think by leaving a review and hopefully I will see you again next chapter.
