Althea was already untying her gown, glancing over as he picked up the baby. “If you want to, sure, her clothes are- well you know where they are.” She shrugged out of the gown, picking up the dress she’d brought to wear home, tugging it over her head. “At least she likes you, I think she likes you more than she likes me.”

“Yeah, I know,” he said heading to the bag and beginning to change, and change the  little  girl. He barely paid attention to Althea, not wanting to make her uncomfortable,  as he nuzzled  Scarlet gently  and then smiled,  “I doubt that, you feed her.”

“It’s a big bed and I’m not as big anymore.” Althea shrugged. “I’d have been happy to share a bed with you.” She sat up, moving to the end of the bed before getting up. “They said sometime after noon, so we have a little time. I need to get dress and Scarlett needs dressed… what is the weather like?”

“You were never that big,” he said smiling and kissed her head as she sat up,  “It’s beautiful out. I can get her dressed if you’d  like me  to  step out  for  you to get dressed?” Dylan smiled at the little girl and then picked her up,  “Besides, I like spending time with this little one.”

“You could have gone home or I could have made room for you in the hospital bed.” She shrugged

“You needed to rest and heal. You didn’t need to be sharing a bed with me,” he said looking at  her and trying to not think on sharing a bed with her as he spoke, “So, when do they come for release?”

“I don’t think he has a time he wants me back. I figure a week or so should do it. I can’t afford to take too much time off.”

“Just don’t...over  do it. We can work the rest  out you know.” He looked at her and shrugged,  “I’ll be happy to not have to sleep  in that chair anymore.”  Hospital  room  chairs were no where near comfortable, but he wasn’t going to leave  them  for  long.

“Yeah, I got an uber here and taking one home isn’t an option, so that’d be great. Tristan came to see her, said I can bring her to work with me.”

“Of course, I’m here already, right? Oh, really? That is great. He is going to let you rest  some before  dragging you back to work  though, right?”

“Scarlett passed all her tests, I get to take her home today, I’m having a mild panic attack, but Scarlett looks adorable.”

[dylanmeeksplays-blog]

"She is adorable, and so are you. Want me to come pick the pair of you up? I bought a car seat yesterday for me car." He already knew he would need one, long as Althea would let him in.

"If you want to be strong and rrsponsive for your baby, then you need to sleep," he said looking at her in complete adoration. It was clear he cared for her. When she ran her thumb over his knuckles he frinned a bit as he began, "Not too masculine. Got it. Jolene? Allison? Hannah? Elizabeth? Lisa? Darla? Scarlett? Laurie?" He felt weird sitting here and holding the baby while trying to name her. He didn't feel like he had the right. He could find Clayton Anderson and murder him. How did he have the right to do this to these beautiful girls?

“I don’t want to.” She shook her head. “What if something happens while I”m sleeping?” Althea reached up, taking the hand that was stroking her hair. “Also I can’t sleep until she has a name. I can’t keep calling her Baby forever. That’d be a terrible name and I’d feel wildly uncomfortable every time a middle aged man addressed her.”

“You need to Althea,” he said looking down at her and smiling brightly as he felt her hand hold his. He looked at her and spoke gently, “I will not let anything happen to her. I promise to wake you if something happens.” Dylan stayed by Althea’s side holding the small girl in one arm and holding Althea’s hand in the other. He chuckled a bit as he spoke, “Well, what have you been thinking?” He kissed Althea’s head and pulled a chair to sit next to her before going to hold her hand again.

It had been a long process, but finally, finally, The doctor told her it was time. After pushing for roughly thirty minutes, Althea pushed a tiny, slimy, screaming baby into the world. It was nearly an hour later before they had her laying back in her hospital room, the baby girl in her arms. “Do you want to hold her?” She asked, looking up at Dylan. She still didn’t have a name for the baby, and that was driving her crazy.

When he had heard it was time, Dylan made his way to the hospital in a hurry. He stayed as close as the doctors and Althea would while there not wanting to pressure anyone. Dylan was at Althea's side. He moved hair off he face as she held the littler girl. Dylan nodded as he spoke, "Of course, I should love to." Dylan carefully reached out and held the small child and brought her to her chest as his hand skoothed Althea"s hair back, "Go get some rest."

I mean I assumed you would be…

“Of course, if  you  want me  to  be,  then  I will  be. It’s a job…and I’ll leave  the  second you  call.”

[altheaxpuckerman]

“What kind of job?”

[dylanmeeksplays-blog]

"I have to photograph a wedding. I am heading out a day early for the rehersal as well." Dylan paused setting his bag down and taking her hand.

“What if I have the baby while you’re gone?”

“You-you  want me  there?I am  only  going to be in Columbus, so it’ll be an hour and a half, an hour if I fly on the highway. I will  come  back just, call  me?”

[dylanmeeksplays-blog]

“I should only be gone for a day or two....”

[altheaxpuckerman]

“So I thought I was going into labor, I rushed to the hospital, the doctor says I’m not. Like… what does he know? He’s never been pregnant.”

[dylanmeeksplays-blog]

“Holy crap, where are you, are you okay?  I can meet  you.  What did he say it was?”

Althea got up from the couch and headed for the door. She did dinner with her mom the night before and was going to spend Mother’s Day just hanging out at home. She went to open the door, surprised to see him there. “Hey.”

“Hey, happy mother’s day,” he said handing her the flowers and smiling widely,  “I brought some more things for the nursery, and I got stuff to make you breakfast. I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I got well...a lot. French toast okay with some sausage and bacon and fruit?”

Dylan showed up at  Althea’s door mother’s day morning with flowers, two  coffees, stuff to make breakfast, and a few more  things for the  baby’s  room. He smiled  a  bit as he knocked on the door waiting for her to  wake up and  come  to the  door.
