A/N: This and the other two related ones could have just been their own separate little story, oops. Oh well, here's some more babyfic I scribbled down in a notebook while on a car ride.
(This immediately follows the chapters, 'Tori and the Baby Song' and 'Jade, Tori, and the Baby')
(9:15 pm)
"Let's try this again, huh?" Jade cooed, gently guiding her daughter back to her breast. A few minutes after she'd been born was the first time Jade had tried nursing, but the baby wasn't having it then, instead being too preoccupied with meeting her moms and everything else going on around them in the delivery room. The attending nurse who had helped with the birth had assured Jade that the baby would eat when she was ready; that had been about two hours ago. Now, the baby was showing signs of being hungry, and Jade wanted to try it again.
With Tori standing by at the bedside to watch, Jade gently stroked the baby's cheek with a finger, and the baby opened her mouth and began rooting around. Jade gave a small gasp as the baby latched, quickly seeming to get the hang of what to do from there.
"Hey, I think you got it," Jade whispered, gently patting the baby's back. "Good job."
Jade settled in, the exhaustion washing over her again. She leaned back against her pillow and closed her eyes. Tori seized the moment and grabbed her phone from the bedside table, intending on taking some pictures of the quiet moment.
Which unfortunately only lasted for seconds.
"Knock, knock!"
Before Tori had even had a chance to reply (or get any pictures), Trina threw back the curtain blocking the door and entered the small hospital room. She was carrying a big bunch of pink and silver balloons in one fist, each with 'It's a Girl' or 'Congrats!' printed on them.
"Hi, I'm here!" she announced, stopping right in front of Tori, the balloons swaying in her hand. The baby in Jade's arms startled, opening her mouth to let out a little cry. Jade groaned, opening her eyes to shoot Trina a glare.
"Aw, Trina, Jade had just gotten her to latch for the first time, and they were both finally resting," Tori complained, crossing her arms.
"Sorry, but I was just so eager to finally meet my niece," Trina said, quickly handing the balloons off to her sister before pushing past Tori to move to Jade's bedside. Jade was still glaring at her, but Trina ignored her to instead get her first look at her niece. The baby had settled back down again from her scare, but hadn't latched back on, instead just resting quietly on Jade's chest.
"Oh, she looks just like a mini Jade!" Trina exclaimed, leaning over to get a better look. "Hi, baby, it's your beautiful and most favorite aunt, Trina."
Tori saw Jade roll her eyes at this comment.
"Trina, not that we weren't kind of expecting you to show up, but how long are you going to be here?" Tori asked. "Jade's really tired. And I already told you that tomorrow is going to be the visiting day."
"Oh, I won't be that long. I just wanted to be the first one to see her," Trina said, standing and turning back to her sister.
"Well, you did that. So bye now," Jade said quickly.
Trina scoffed. "Fine, I'll go. Even after I took time out of my busy night to come visit..."
"Alright, bye," Jade said again. Trina got the message, and finally made her leave without more of a fuss.
After she'd left, Tori once more sat in the chair at Jade's bedside. Jade had settled the baby back down, and Tori leaned over with a smile to look at her daughter again.
"So you're sure you like the name we settled on?" Jade asked quietly after a moment. Tori looked away from the baby to meet Jade's tired eyes, giving a confirming nod.
"Yeah. I don't remember exactly where it came from, but I think the name Fallon suits her nicely."
A/N: The baby's name is inspired from Liz Gillies' character's name from Dynasty, which might be a silly cross reference for this, but since Dynasty is the second most important show to me right now after Victorious I thought I'd just go for it. Thanks for reading!
