His head shook then, taking on a sense of modest denial in her accusation as he settled the bag into the floor then got the dogs to hop into the back of the vehicle before arms went around Charlotte for a brief hug. “I can’t be jealous knowing how those milk makers provide just what our little girl needs. That and I know I can still use them as pillows and if I get hungry, I can turn my head and get a few sucks in.” He teased before stealing a kiss from Charlotte’s lips. Giving her small rear a pat, he then took up their child sleeping peacefully in her carrier. “Uh, probably a safe bet, yeah. I’m sure she’d outright steal her permanently if she could.”

“You are such a naughty man. I hope you know that,” she teased him, knowing he’d laugh heartily at that. One of the many things she loves about this man is that he had such a sexual appeal and he was very good at making her blush when he wanted it. And Charlotte always submitted to him. Always. Kissing him back, it reminded her of just how long it’s been since they were intimate, realizing this would be the first night they would actually have alone since having Penny. “Let me grab the pump, then.” She quickly ran back into the house, packing the pump in another bag before coming back out and getting into the car with everyone. “Alright. Now we can go.”

“Blanket: Check. Binkie: Check. Spare binkie: Check. Diapers and all that shit in her bag: Check.” Evan rambled on his list. Making sure everything was stocked up for their little Penny for this big family barbecue. A jumbled celebration of him moving back home with his little family as well as  a belated Easter thing. “You’re bringing the milk.” His brows waggled as he zipped up the bag and gave a look to the petite blonde. Sly and playful grin in place. “So, I think we’re all set. I even got her little lamb plushie she loves. Oh! The dog’s leashes and portable bowls, too.” After all, they had been invited as well.

Boston was an amazing city. Charlotte found it to be just as pretty as Denver was. She was placing a sleeping Penny into her carrier, amazed that this tiny baby was now almost 5 months old. Laughing at Evan’s words, she shook her head at him. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re jealous that Penny gets more time with the milk makers than you.” She gave him a wink, hooking her arm on the carrier to pick it up. She slipped the bag over her shoulder, still smiling brightly at this meatball of a boyfriend she has. “Did you pack my pump? In case your mom does want to take her for the night?” Then she could make a couple of bottles while they were at the part. She was slowly weaning Penny off of breast milk, seeing that it was starting to get hard for her to keep producing it.

“Penelope Lisa Kingsley.” The name rolling softly off his tongue. His eyes once again glued to her and the sweet little whines that came. Any sound his daughter would make now would be his favorite. He was sure of it. “We’re your mama and papa.” Adding on with his loving smile displaying those perfect pearled teeth of his.

Without thought, he leaned in to kiss her little forehead. She felt so warm and tiny even from the brief contact and it pained him not to snatch her up and hold her forever. Mindful enough that Charlotte got first dibs on the matter considering she had been the one to cook and carry the perfect creature inside of her for nine months straight. Although, his fingers were restless all the same. moving to brush her cheeks, so soft and supple… and warm. and making sure the blanket was tucked snug around her to get that means of contact while everything else whirled around him. Eventually, he’d have to turn and leave the room to inform his family but the task was immensely more difficult than he could’ve anticipated.

This had to be one of the best days of their lives. Seeing Evan kiss their new baby’s forehead made her sniffle a little, eyes filled with tears of joy. “Here. Hold her.” She couldn’t move yet, since she was still being stitched up, but she helped place Penny into his arms, making sure he was supporting her delicate head. Once the pass had been completed, the nurses told Evan he could bring their daughter out into the waiting room to meet everyone briefly, or he could stay in the room while they got Charlotte situated.

While she was in a world of pain, the adrenaline was still pumping through her. Somehow, her tiny body managed to nurture this life for nine months and pushed it out of her. The worse part was when they had her move off the delivery bed to get into the wheelchair to wheel her back to her room. She couldn’t believe the pain that a simple movement could cause, but the tears that fell from her eyes said otherwise. Eventually, they had to take Penny from Evan to finish her tests and to get cleaned up, but they would bring her back to their room once they were done. It gave her and Evan a moment to be alone with each other. “I can’t believe she’s here.”

The whole room felt like it was spinning. It was all he could do not to feint like those jackasses he’d always deemed as pussies for such a thing. NOW he understood their position. He was about to be a father. The woman he loved as birthing their child, their creation, into the world and soon they’d be parents. Responsible for this little life. It was all still so surreal, even now in the delivery room. Charlotte’s legs hiked up and seeing this gory looking miracle of childbirth unfolding before his eyes. Stuck now in a dumbfounded trance where everything felt like it was underwater, him included. All his senses diluted as such.

What sent him shooting back into reality was that loud defiant scream of the unhappy pink baby. Instantly, his full focus was on her and emotions over flowed. Quickly scanning over her dirty figure as shaky hands did the honorary task of cutting the umbilical chord, he made sure everything was perfect. Two arms. Two legs. Ten fingers. Ten toes.One little body and her sweet little head. What wisps of hair were there seemed invisible in the fair coloring, or what he could tell as they were cleaning her. Two ears. Two eyes. One nose. One little screaming mouth. A sob came up and he clamped his lips shut again between his teeth. Leaning over his girls, one arm was tucked around Charlotte’s head, brushing strands of soaked hair off her forehead and the other reaching to touch the little angel on a little foot. So small it didn’t even stretch the length of his finger. “M-my girls…” His voice still quivers. “She’s so fuckin’ beautiful..” he awed at her for several minutes, lost once again now in this whole new little person  but managing to look away to his girlfriend. “Like her mama… I love you, Charlotte.” Lips coming to meet with hers in a surprisingly passionate and emotion filled kiss. Breaking away to sniff quietly and look back to the new baby. 

Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. There was this little baby in her arms, who had her father’s lashes. Charlotte was pretty positive she would also have his eyes, but they would know for sure once she opened them. Even though she wasn’t completely cleaned and still needed tests done, she was perfect. It seemed that Evan was just as moved as she was, seeing how he was tearing up as well. For nine months, she had carried this tiny life and in those nine months, they moved in together, bought a house together, had their first vacation. They grew together and that little part of them that was still broken was now healed thanks to this amazing miracle.

She lit up like a Christmas tree when he uttered those three words to her. Love. They were truly, deeply in love with each other and this moment was such an emotional one. “I love you, Evan.” She hadn’t been expecting the passion and emotion behind his kiss, but Charlotte eagerly returned it, tears finally disappearing from her cheeks. A little coo filled the room when they parted, she looked down to see their daughter stretching a little, eyes finally opening. She had his eyes. “Hello,” she whispered to her, a finger moving, watching how that tiny hand wrapped around it. When the nurse came over to ask them for her name, they were more than ready to give it. “Penelope.”

Despite his stressful concerns, Evan had to laugh. It was triggered by her question but he wasn’t sure if it hit him comically or gave him an excuse to let up some of his pent up emotions. “Babe, ya can’t hurt me, don’t worry. Focus on gettin’ our girl here.” He instructed. his free hand once again brushing stubborn strands off the woman’s face before moving to fill her request. A small plastic spoonful of ice chips being scooped up from the waiting cup. He was sure if she’d asked him to get her a rock from the moon right now, he’d shoot up and get one for her. Anything to appease his love and mother of his child.

His focus was soon diverted just a moment to the doctor as he examined poor Charlotte. His heart skipping several beats with the news. This was going to be it. The pinnacle of his whole like and her’s as well as their life together. Such a thing had his palm sweating and his head becoming a little light as reality was bearing down hard. Still, he kept up the charade of an easy smile for her. His hand never leaving that connection she so needed to show his support. “We got this, right? Just remember to keep breathin’, baby. A little bit of pain and we get our princess.”

Charlotte almost glared at Evan for his ‘little bit of pain’ comment, but she refrained. He would never know the sort of pain she was in at this moment, but without him, she was positive that her pain would be worse. Sweat was coming more rapidly from the petite woman, proving that what she was dealing with was pretty damn tough. Charlotte barely sweat when she worked out, unless Evan dragged her to a workout with him. “We got this,” she repeated, looking up at him as they arrived in the delivery room. It seemed so empty besides the bed and what looked to be an exam table and crib for the baby. She had never felt so compromised before, seeing the doctor and a few nurses in there with her and Evan.

As she settled onto the delivery table, she let out a slight shout, another contraction hitting her. “Charlotte, she’s coming. I need you to start pushing.” Charlotte’s eyes widen for a moment, gulping before she nodded at the doctor. Now, she had to do the hardest thing she has ever done. One hand gripped the railing of the bed as the other held Evan’s hand. It was hard. Charlotte was crying and panting. There were shouts and moments where she felt too tired. Then, all the sudden- there was silence followed by the beautiful cries of their baby girl. Charlotte, still crying, was now giggling as she was cleaned up a little before placed in her arms as the doctor worked to clean Charlotte up. “I love you, so much,” she whispered to the tiny infant in her arms before looking up at Evan. “I love you too.”

Of course she would notice that and comment on such a thing to him. To dispel worry, he went to crack his version of a joke. “You’re lucky I didn’t become a snowman. It’s really coming down out there. But, I’m sorry I worried ya.” His easy grin sent the words through easily enough. Ignoring the television altogether as well. It was the farthest thing from his mind. How could it not be when their lives were about to change forever?

The only thing to pull focus was the woman giving him the standard cover ups. Their crowded group then ushered outside to give the soon to be parents some privacy and ease the stress Charlotte was no doubt feeling as the contractions started again. Half ‘dressed’, Evan dropped the task of tying the robe to give his hand back to the blonde for some support. She could tear his hand or arm off for all he cared. His free hand however came up to move stubborn strands clinging to her forehead. Chuckling despite himself, he addressed the professional still in the room. “Is she too far along to have somethin’? Like, anythin’?”

The nurse kindly told Evan she would have to check with the doctor to determine if Charlotte could have drugs now or not. Through gritted teeth, she looked at Evan, squeezing his hand. “Am I squeezing your throwing hand?” The last thing she needed was to be accused of ruining his hand by all of America. Trying to focus on her breathing as the contraction ended, she fell back against the pillows, already feeling tired. “May I have an ice chip,” Charlotte asked Evan, blue eyes looking up at him, still amazed that he was here with her. That after all they have been through, he still wanted her and this.

Soon enough, the doctor was coming back in, ushering Charlotte to the end of the bed to see how dilated she was again. “Miss Avery, it is time for us to wheel you into the delivery room. Are you ready to meet your little girl?” Charlotte’s eyes widened, not realizing it would come so quickly, nodding at the doctor. With the help of the nurse, Charlotte was back in the wheelchair, being wheeled to the delivery room, holding Evan’s hand for support. This was not the time for her anxiety to kick in, but it was. It was a major life event. “Mr. Kingsley, it is your job to hold her hand and tell her to push, even when she doesn’t want to. It’s going to be rough, so be prepared.”

His cheeks were red from fluster and cold. Chest heaving as he hadn’t practically slowed himself down right up to the floor Charlotte and their tiny village was on. Greeted first by his mother who was relaying information at what felt like a thousand words a second. Her excitement showing but he was too dazed to pay much attention to anything but the nearing door with the mother of his child waiting behind it. Hugging his mother before breaching the door, he used it for comfort and assurance. She was one of the few people who could help calm him no matter how bad his nerves wanted to take hold, but right now he needed to be the strong one. A role he would proudly take on and only pray he did so with flying colors.

A pat on the shoulder and gentle push helped him go inside. His frame hovering above all the heads inside the room for now as he went directly to Charlotte’s side. Giving her his best smile, he then took her hand and leaned over to place a kiss onto her forehead. Having just missed the painful episode she went through. “I got here as soon as I could. How are my girls?”

Once her eyes landed on Evan, Charlotte could feel the relief running through her body. Her stepfather, who had been holding her hand through her last contraction, moved out of the way so that Evan could be besides her. As soon as his hand grabbed hers, she squeezed it, bringing it up to her lips to kiss. “We’re good. Waiting for you,” she said as she looked up at Evan. “Your hand is so cold,” she noticed, putting it between both of hers and rubbing it to try and warm him up. Even in this moment, she was worried about him. She could hear the start of another game on the TV, but her entire focus was on the fact that Evan was finally here with her. “I was scared you wouldn’t get here in time.” Thank god she knew the team’s PT and that she had her phone on her at the time.

Taking a moment to breathe, her eyes scanned around the room as the nurse came in to offer Evan scrubs for when they had to go to the delivery room. It warmed her heart that everyone they loved and cared for were in this room with them, right now. Of course, the little moment of calm was replaced with another contraction, causing Charlotte to grab Evan’s hand in pain, letting out her first real noise of being in pain in the process. Why did she decide to do this without drugs? That had to be the worse idea on the planet. “Next time... next time, let’s get the drugs,” she panted to Evan, trying not to chuckle at the whole situation.

It was only about ten minutes till the end of the game when Evan was called over. Confusion came over him but he jogged off the field. Expecting a change in plays but was blindsided with the news of Charlotte being in labor. It was an amazing feat that he was able to keep standing when his knees felt like jelly beneath him. Chest tight in a new sense of panic over what to do. He had a job to finish but his family– His child was more important than that. A quick exchange of words and he was taking off his pads and helmet to bolt himself into the locker rooms. The stadium swept with all sorts of disappointed and baffled noises which he didn’t even care for. His one goal in mind was to get to the hospital to be there for Charlotte and their girl.

A two minute shower washed off the gunk of the game and he changed into civilian clothes. Freezing on his way through the parking lot to his car as he’d rushed out before putting his coat on. As far as he was concerned, he had wasted enough time. Once in the cat, he ignited it to life and began speeding his way to the hospital. Amazed as it seemed the journey was blessed when he reached the place without a single ticket received, he then screeched into a spot and ran inside. Panting heavily while asking the front desk for Charlotte’s information.

Momma, I’m scared, Charlotte signed to her mother as she was wheeled into her room. It was almost their secret language, seeing that they could speak without uttering a single word. Getting out of the chair to change into the hospital gown, her mother smiled softly at her, tucking a piece of curly blonde hair behind her daughter’s ear. I was too, but the best thing in the world is about to happen for you and Evan. Sniffling, she hugged her mother for a moment, needing that little bit of comfort before it would all be destroyed from the nurses, her OB, labor and the chaos that was her entourage. Her mother helped her get into the gown, another contraction hitting her in the process. Gripping the bed railing as she rode it out, she couldn’t help but wonder, where was Evan?

Once settled into the bed, she was immediately examined to see how far dilated she was. 5 cm. That was farther than she thought she would be, but still time for her boyfriend to show up. Immediately, they all turned on the game in her tiny hospital room to see if Evan was still playing or not. To discover that the backup was in made her sigh in relief, knowing that her message had gotten to him. Evelyn braided her hair to keep it off her face and neck, seeing that Charlotte was already feeling flushed and uncomfortable. “Once daddy is here, please come out. Don’t torture mommy,” she joked to her belly, groaning as another contraction hit her.

Testosterone and sweat were flowing in the cold air. His blood pumping with adrenaline as he and his team worked in perfect unison. Score after score. Hit after hit. It was all mounting to one hell of a game. One in which the Broncos has been taking over. Last game’s lost coupled with the factors it was a home game. His beloved girlfriend’s family and his own were gathered in town for the season and cheering him on, Evan was working into an overload.

Ignorant to the fact anything could go wrong except as far as the game was concerned. Well, that and the snow flurrying all around town and creating more inconveniences than atmospheric beauty at this point. But, that was only minor. Right now, it was all riding on this game. A couple more strategical plays and he’d have this for his team in the bag. No doubt earning a victorious glory for the men, their fans, and more importantly, Charlotte and his family.

Allowing herself to take some deep breaths, Charlotte knew she had to be as calm as she could. Penny didn’t need her stressing out and she knew that if she was stressed, everyone else would be as well. Instantly her momma was by her side, signing to her as Evan’s mother was helping her into her coat. It felt like everything was happening so quickly, moving around almost like she was weightless until she was in the car and the first contraction hit her. As much as she prided in tolerating pain, this was nothing she had ever experienced before. Her hand clutched the car door as it ran through her, gritting her teeth so that she wasn’t disturbing anyone, even though they all knew she was in labor.

Once the moment had passed, her hands scrambled to find her phone to call someone, anyone, that could let Evan know what was going on. Charlotte couldn’t do this without him. She was only so strong alone, but with Evan, he made her brave. He reminds her of how capable she is of anything. By time they arrived at the hospital, Charlotte finally got ahold of someone who promised to get to Evan as soon as they could. Sighing, she was wheeled into the hospital and checking in, thrilled that they were giving her a private room.
