After a few minutes the doctor takes him to clean him up and I watch over them like a hawk. I refuse to let him out of my sight. Once the nurses are all done with him, and Ivy is all cleaned up, they wrap him tightly in a blanket and pick him up.
“Here you go, daddy,” the nurse says, holding him out for me.
I nervously take him, cradling him in my large arms. I look down at him and his bright blue eyes look up at me. A tear runs down my cheek as we have this moment. “Alexander Kace Chambers, I love you my son.”
I walk over to Ivy and hand her our beautiful son. She moves over and I sit on the bed with her. I stare at her looking down at our son and my life is complete in the moment. Two lives I love more than anything in the world are wrapped in my arms.
“Holy shit, congratulations,” Zane says, walking in with a teddy bear.
I jump off the bed and hug him. Everyone else follows behind and I smile as I move closer to Ivy. “It’s a boy!”
“Are you sure? Cause I heard this story about a baby whose clit was so big they thought it was a dick,” Riley says, holding Gillian close to his side.
She hits him in the stomach, and he grunts. “Shut the fuck up.”
We all laugh, and he smiles. “I’m fucking with you. Congratulations, I’m happy for you guys,” he says.
Everyone takes turns holding Alex and finally it’s just the three of us. Ivy is asleep and I’m sitting in the rocking chair holding my son. I must’ve done something right to deserve this family. I don’t know what it was but I’m fucking thankful.
“Hey,” Zane says walking in.
“Hey, I thought everyone left,” I whisper.
“They did, I wanted to stay a little longer. Check out my godson again.”
I smile and nod for him to sit down. He does and I carefully hand him my world. “He’s fucking perfect, isn’t he?”
“Yeah brother, he looks just like you,” he says, laughing.
“I know,” I laugh with him.
He grins as he looks at me. “You deserve all this love.”
“Two years ago I would’ve disagreed, but no fucking way would I give any of it up now,” I say.
We both smile and look down at Alex. I have two families now and I will never stop loving or protecting them both. Life is a crazy ride and you never know where each turn will take you, but fuck the ride is worth it.
