You guys seem to like to read about daddy Jay, and I'm glad because I like writing him. So per request here is a chapter about Jay with newborn Macy her first night home. It's all fluff, but I hope you will like it.
The pale white moon illuminated through the picture windows of the apartment. Erin was down the hall in their bedroom fast asleep. Micah was in his own room also asleep, and Jay sat in the living room with his newborn baby girl sleeping in his arms.
Tonight was Macy's first night home from the hospital. Jay hadn't gotten any alone time with his daughter yet, so while everyone else was asleep he figured he take full advantage.
He could hear her breathing quietly in his arms. Her little chest rising and falling with every inhale and exhale. He couldn't believe how tiny she was, how beautiful she already was. He'd seen infants before, but to him they all looked, for the most part, the same. It was different when it was his own daughter. She was gorgeous, and he couldn't stop staring at her. She was this perfect little human that he and Erin had created together, and he had never felt so much love for someone in such a short period of time. The first time he laid eyes on her she had captured his heart.
He looked down and began to speak to her quietly while she slept. "Hi, Macy. I'm your daddy. I know I've told you that a million times now, but just incase you forgot." He laughed silently at himself. It felt a little bit strange to be talking to her while she slept.
"I can't get over how beautiful you already are. I can tell you are going to look so much like your mommy. You're lucky. That's a blessing for you, because your mommy is the most gorgeous woman I know, but it's a curse for daddy. Now I've got two girls I'm going to have to keep the dogs away from. You're mommy is tough. She'll be the first one to tell you that she can look out for herself, but that doesn't mean I still don't worry about her when she goes out without me. She's just so beautiful they never seem to want to leave her alone. She's pretty good at telling them off though. I'm sure she'll teach you."
Macy stirred a little in his arms so he stayed quiet for a moment afraid she'd wake, before picking up where he left off.
"You've got a big brother looking out for you too, and a whole intelligence unit. Sorry to break it to you, but you probably wont be able to get away with anything when you're older. That gives daddy some peace of mind, but will probably frustrate you. You could really give me some peace of mind and promise to never become a teenager. I wouldn't mind if you stayed my tiny baby girl forever, but I know it doesn't really work that way." He stopped for a moment just to admire her beauty. He still had trouble believing this was his life; this was his baby girl.
"Your brother Micah is asleep in there." He pointed towards Micah's bedroom as though Macy was actually listening to him.
"He's really funny. He makes your mommy and me laugh all of the time. He was also so excited to meet you. He talked about you everyday for six months after we told him you were coming. He wanted a brother to play hockey with at first, that's how you got your nickname goalie. Don't hold it against him though. He didn't know any better, so when we found out you were going to be a girl your mommy and I took him to a women's college hockey game to show him girls can play hockey too. Then he got really excited again. He's convinced you are going to the Olympics for women's hockey." Jay laughed again quietly.
"Remember how I told you that you have a whole unit looking out for you too? You met most of them at the hospital. If you remember the guy with the deep raspy voice he is Hank Voight. He is your mommy and my boss, but he is also kind of like your mommy's dad. She'll deny it, but he is. He's a good guy to have in your corner. You're mommy always used to tell me he was a big softie underneath his tough exterior, but I never believed it until I saw him with your brother. She was right he is kind of a softie. Your mom is the same way though. She's so strong and fierce all of the time, but she lets your brother and I, and now you, see the real her, and that's really amazing."
He looked up thinking he heard something, but no other noises followed.
"You've also got an uncle Antonio. He's my best friend. You'll like him I think. Then there is Uncle Al. He doesn't say much, but like your Grandpa Voight he always has your back. Aunt Kimmie probably loves you almost as much as your mom and I do. She is your mommy's best friend and she's actually the one that came up with your name. Aunt Kimmie's boyfriend is the biggest goofball you'll ever meet. I think you'll like Ruzek. Micah loves playing pranks with him, and we can't forget about Atwater. You are probably smaller than his bicep right now. He's a big muscly guy. That's a quick run down of your family Macy. They are a pretty great family to have. They all already love you, and will always protect you. Remember though that daddy is always going to be the first one to take care of you and protect you, because you're my girl." He leaned forward and gave her forehead a light gentle kiss.
Jay stood up from the couch and headed back towards the hallway. He suddenly saw a form quickly scurrying away.
"Erin?" He whispered.
She turned around giving him a look that said she knew she was caught. "I woke up to check on her and she was gone, then I heard your voice."
"How long ago was that?"
"I don't know. Not very long."
"How much did you hear?"
She gave him another 'oops I'm sorry' face. "Like all of it."
Jay laughed quietly. He didn't really mind that she heard. Everything he said was the truth.
Jay laid the baby girl down in her crib, and crawled into bed next to his wife.
"It was really sweet, Jay." She whispered snuggling into his side. "You're a great daddy." She said before kissing his cheek. "I love you." She yawned out next.
Jay kissed the top of her head. "I love you too."
