A/N: I know I haven’t written in a long time. This isn’t exactely my favorite but someone requested a future one-shot of them having a baby. I still hope you read this, lean back, imagine it and maybe you’ll be able to smile because of Jelena + baby :))
“Look at her,” Selena breathed quietly, as if she was afraid she’d destroy the peaceful moment if she spoke any louder. “She’s so tiny. And so, so beautiful.”
“A miracle.” Justin agreed, brushing his fingertips over the soft skin of his newborn daughter’s cheek. He assumed most parents referred to their children as miracles, especially in that very human. A tiny human being, so small yet so perfect, that was a mixture of both his parents. A miracle because two people could create something so extraordinary as a new life. But for the two of them, the word held even more meaning.
For once, the two of them had been trough many rough times, falling in love at a very young age, breaking each other’s hearts only to find their way back in the future. He always imagined having children with her, but after breaking up and trying to move on, he thought that possibility was gone.
And then, she almost died. An event that was terrifying and painful, but it was also the reason the two young adults eventually found their way back together. Because of her transplant and her lupus and the various medications she had to take, it wasn’t as easy to fulfill their wish for a family as they would have liked.
He could remember countless nights of yet another negative pregnancy test and their shared tears. Both of them were hopeless at times and one night in particular would always stay on his mind when Selena angrily threw whatever was in reach and struggeled to get out of his arms that tried to calm her down before she broke down in tears, apologizing to him over and over again of not being able to have his children.
And then, one day, she breathlessly welcomed him at home with a positive pregnancy test.
When their daughter was born just hours ago, it was three weeks early and after a few moments of silence and a beginning panic rising in the two of them, they heared the cutest little cry they’d ever heared. She was tiny, her little fingers so small, Justin was scared he’d break them if he touched her.
So when he called her a miracle, it truly was one because after so many countless months of hoping and praying and almost giving up hope, their daughter was growing inside of her.
“I know,” Selena agreed, teary eyed. “I can’t believe she’s finally here. We finally got the family we always wanted.”
Justin smiled, tearing his gaze away from his daughter to turn to his wife, placing a loving kiss against her still sweaty forehead.
“She’s worth everything we went trough, isn’t she?” he asked altough it was more a statement than a question. “How is it possible that I already love her so much?”
“I know, me too,” Selena nodded with a soft smile. “She’s everything.”
“Oh, let me see her!” Pattie demanded excitedly, carelessly putting her bag on one of the chairs in the hospital room. Justin’s mother had flown in as soon as she had heared Selena was having her granddaughter and came straight to the hopsital after landing.
“Oh, she’s so beautiful!” she exclaimed once she stepped close to the bed to see the baby laying in her mother’s arms.
“Do you want to hold her?” Selena asked sweetly, carefully moving her in her arms.
“May I?” Pattie asked and the younger woman nodded, helping her lay her daughter in her grandmother’s waiting arms.
“She’s perfect!” Pattie told them after a few moments. “You guys did so good! I can’t believe I am a grandma!”
Justin laughed quietly, sitting down on the bed next to Selena, watching his mother gush over his daughter. “What did you expect? She has gorgeous parents!”
“Justin!” his wife said, lightly hitting his arm. Her small voice made it obvious that she was trying to fight of her tiredness.
“It’s true!” the boy shrugged his shoulders. “Also .. you should sleep, baby. You can barely keep your eyes open. What you did today was incredible, I can’t believe you brought our babygirl into this world. And now you deserve some rest.”
“But I don’t wanna sleep. I just .. want to look at her and hold her and watch over her,” she argued tiredly.
“Baby … you need some sleep. I’ll stay right her and I swear I won’t let her out of my sight. And when you wake up, you can hold her and look at her however long you want.”
“Justin’s right, honey,” Pattie chimed in, finally lifing her gaze from the little girl in her arms. “I’m here now too, and we’ll take care of her. Don’t worry. You should get all the sleep you can get. She may be little, but I’m sure she’ll keep you up enough for the next months.”
“Okay, fine …,” Selena finally agreed, knowing she couldn’t stay awake for much longer anyways. “Just … let me look at her once more before I do?”
“Welcome home, babygirl!” Selena said, holding their tiny bundle of joy in her arms as they entered their shared home. Just 30 minutes ago, she was discharged, both her and the baby perfectly healthy and they were happy to finally bring her home.
Justin smiled, setting down the bags in the hallway before wrapping his arm around Selena and leaning down to kiss his daughter’s forehead. “I promise you we will do whatever we can to make sure you feel safe here, and loved and protected and happy.”
”Whatever,” she repeated, their eyes locking before Justin pecked her lips, short but lovingly.
”Let’s give her a tour of the house!” He then exclaimed, holding his hands out to signal he wanted to hold her.
She complied with a low chuckle, carefully putting her into her father’s arms.
”Justin, she’s two days old. She doesn’t need a tour of our house.”
”But we gotta show her her home!” Justin insisted, already taking off towards the living room. “See, this is where we watch TV and hang out and cuddle …. and this is where your mom keeps all her shoes and dresses and a lot of make-up that she doesn’t even need,” he trailed off, telling their daughter a story to every room they made it to while Selena followed them silently, occassionally giggling quietly as she just watched the two most important people in her life.
”And this, babygirl, this is your room. Do you like it?”
”I absolutely love this room,” Selena chimed in after a few moments of silence. “It’s perfect.”
”Perfect for our little miracle.”
