It Goes On

Raven Rachel Dawson 20 years old Student at Hartway Social work, second year

Xavier smiled when Raven kissed his cheek then made it to where he was holding Sawyer carefully in one arm, so he can get the keys out of his pocket to unlock the car. He open the door to the back seat for Ray, then went over to the other side of the car and strapped Sawyer into his carrier. “We are about to take them home.”

Raven carefully put Sadie in her spot, making sure to take extra time to double check that the straps of the carrier were working properly. There was a lump in her throat as her eyes scanned over the backseat; her husband, and her two babies ready to go home. “I can’t believe it.”

[xavier-monroe]

“Thanks, babe. If they do become taller than me, I might have to start walking around in slits.” Xavier got Sawyer to stop crying once they got outside. He smiled and looked down at Raven. “Yeah– we are. We have babies and they are coming home with us. And they will always be home with us– for the next eighteen years.”

[ravendawson-blog]

She slowly got out of the wheelchair with Sadie in her arms. “We have babies.” Raven kissed Sawyer on the forehead, then Xavier on the cheek. “I love you two men, and my little girl.”

[xavier-monroe]

“They aren’t allowed to be taller than me, though.” He laughed a bit. “So like should I put my face in front of his for him to see me?” Xavier did it anyways without waiting for Raven to respond. Sawyer began to cry a bit. “Oh– Oh god, okay. Shhhh, it’s okay. I’m sorry. It’s okay.” He said trying to sooth the baby and hoping Raven wasn’t giving him a judge-y look.

“I will make sure to let them know that their dad has very strict rules regarding their height.” The crying wasn’t a surprise to her, that was a very common thing among babies. “He for sure saw you that time!” It seemed like it happened quickly seeing as they were already making their way outside. That’s when it hit her, “Xavier. We are taking our babies home.”

@RaveRay: Got to bring these little angels home <3

[xavier-monroe]

“So most are like a little bigger than this, yeah?” Xavier leaned down slightly so Raven didn’t have to stretch so much to fix the blanket. He then stood back up straight when she was done and proceeded to walk. “Right? No wonder he has had his eyes closed this whole time. I probably look like some big scary giant.” 

[ravendawson-blog]

“Mhm. Our little guys are smaller than average, but that’s okay because I am sure they will grow up to be tall like their dad.” The wheelchair began moving slowly, and though there was no need for it Raven held Sadie even closer to her body. “Plus they can only see like eight inches away because babies have crappy eyes.” 

[xavier-monroe]

Xavier looked down at the baby and adjusted him in his arms a bit. “Nah, he is fine. I got it.” He cooed at Sawyer and looked over at Ray. “Are they actually suppose to be this small?” 

[ravendawson-blog]

“Oh no, these guys are very little. Their brother was much bigger when he was born. But premature and twins makes for very little babies.” She reached up to tuck the blanket around Sawyer more securely. “He looks so tiny in your arms.” 

[xavier-monroe]

Hearing what Raven said made Xavier blush a bit so he looked down at Sawyer cause he is manly and doesn’t blush. “Well, Sawyer says you are or the best mother there ever is and I think Sadie would agree.”

[ravendawson-blog]

“I am going to try my best to make sure that’s actually true.” A familiar nurse walked over pushing a wheelchair for Raven to sit in. “Xavier, do you want me to hold the both of them since I will be sitting down?” Raven carefully sat while holding Sadie close to her body.

[xavier-monroe]

“Your little man is happy, and so is your son.” He stood quietly and rocked Sawyer a bit while Raven talked to the nurse. “We can call her like Viper, or Rocket. Rocket and Rip-Jaw?”

[ravendawson-blog]

“Rocket?” Raven looked down at the baby in her arms. “How about that, Sadie? Do you like the name Rocket?” Raven gave her a small kiss on the forehead before giving one to Sawyer. “Sadie loves her new nickname, and she says that you’re the best dad.”

[xavier-monroe]

“Fine, fine… I won’t complain about not being wheeled out.” Xavier let out a little laugh, making sure not to be too loud. He slowed down so he wasn’t ahead of Raven and instead walking next to her side. “What’s that Saywer? Hmmm? Oh, okay.” Xavier turned to look at Raven. “Sawyer said as much as he loves his and his sister’s name, he is gonna let his dad call him Rip-Jaw.” 

[ravendawson-blog]

“Thank you very much.” Raven shook her head, but gave Xavier a warm smile. “Well, I guess if Sawyer doesn’t mind being called Rip-Jaw then I won’t day anything. As long as my little man is happy.” Raven stopped at the nurses station, quickly speaking to the man sitting at the desk who then told her that they would get a wheelchair right away. “Sadie needs a cool nickname too.”

[xavier-monroe]

Xavier looked down at the babies and smiled wider. “Yeah, I got him. C’mon lil’ guy.” He scooped the newborn into his arms. “How come you get to go out in a wheelchair? What about the fathers?” Xavier questioned jokingly but in a tone that made him seem dead serious. He walked out of the room towards the nurses’ station, every now and then glancing down at his son. “I still think we should have named one of them Rip-Jaw.” 

[ravendawson-blog]

“When you go through over a day of labour, then I will get you a wheelchair and push you around for three hole days.” Raven was much slower, still feeling tired from the first week of motherhood. She shook her head, “Sadie, do you like daddy’s idea?” Raven paused before speaking to Xavier, “She says she likes Sadie and Sawyer.”

[xavier-monroe]

Xavier walked into Ray’s room after coming back from the parking lot. As soon as he saw her, the man grinned then went over to kiss her forehead. “Okay, bags are in the car and I doubled check to make sure the car seats were strapped in correctly. I’m pretty sure we are ready to go.” 

[ravendawson-blog]

She leaned into him, resting her head on his chest as she looked at their two tiny babies. “I can’t believe we finally get to take them home. They still look so tiny.” She reached down and picked Sadie up, holding her carefully. “Will you hold Sawyer? The nurse said she will meet us at the nurses’ station. Something about all mothers being discharged get a wheelchair ride down to the car.”

[xavier-monroe]

You can always interrupt hand on belly time for cuddles okay? Thank you and no you should not ask. Ever. Let’s forget I said it.

[ravendawson-blog]

Hand on belly time is very important. [before she can say anything else Jeremy runs into the room and climbs onto Xavier's lap]

[hella-rad-dad-spencer-blog]

I don’t think anyone who has watched a child overnight would doubt that. But yeah more sleep so more energy. I’m sure there are other reasons but that is the only one I cared to learn and remember. 

[ravendawson-blog]

I'm just lucky said five year old doesn't live with me so I just have to deal with him for a few hours.

[xavier-monroe]

Do you pretend to be asleep often? I never said I didn’t love Blob. [chokes] Yeah, no please don’t. Did I mention that was the most awkward sex I had and I was once stabbed during sex.

[ravendawson-blog]

Usually a couple times a week. I was going to be annoying and force you to cuddle me but I could fell your hand on my belly, then I saw your face. You looked happy so I didn't want to ruin the moment. I swear I will not call you daddy, and I feel like I should probably ask why you were stabbed during sex...

[xavier-monroe]

Oh, don’t let the happiness and excitement fool you, I am still [looks around for Jeremy then curses] fucking terrified and constantly feeling like I’m gonna piss my pants. Like someone other than a very kinky hooker is going to be calling me daddy.

[ravendawson-blog]

Oh please, you touch my belly when you think I am sleeping. You already love baby. [snorts] I could call you daddy if you want me too.

[xavier-monroe]

Blob with have the best life we can give it, totally different from both of ours and we will love it no matter what. 

[ravendawson-blog]

I wouldn't ever want my child to feel what I felt. Or what you felt, for that matter. [kisses his cheek] And I'm surprised and so happy that you're excited.

[xavier-monroe]

Hey, hey, hey. [pulls her into a hug] I’m sure it didn’t hurt the blob.

[ravendawson-blog]

I hope not. Because it won't be easy to raise this kid, but I am going to try so fucking hard to give it a better life than either of us ever had.
