"Are they on their way?" I asked Colby as he walked around the room, gently bouncing Maisie. "Sam is bringing them after school so we have a couple hours." Colby explained.
"I can't wait for them to meet her." I hummed as Colby walked over. "Wanna snuggle with her?" He asked as I nodded.
"More than anything but I feel like I have to pee. It's terrifying." I said causing him to laugh.
"Peeing is terrifying?" He asked as I nodded. "I have more stitches between my legs right now than I've had from every injury I have ever had." I said as Colby laid Maisie in my arms.
"Hi, my sweet girl." I cooed as she looked up at me. I couldn't get over how absolutely adorable she was.
I knew it was normal to think you had the cutest baby but I think Colby and I were actually right.
Maisie had big deep blue eyes that I assumed would get brighter with age, and the cutest little button nose.
She was simply perfect.
"I think we win." I said as Colby yawned and sat in the chair next to me. "Win what?" He asked as I sighed and brushed my finger along Maisie's soft cheek. "We have the cutest baby ever." I said causing him to laugh.
"Well yeah." He said as I sighed. "I really need to pee." I said with a frown. "Alright, let's lay Maisie in the bassinet so she can sleep then I'll help you." Colby said and stood up. "Nooooo." I whined causing him to laugh.
"I thought you had to pee." He said as I nodded. "I do but I don't want her to be alone." I said as he breathed a laugh.
"We won't be long, plus the bathroom is literally right there." He said and pointed to the door, leading to the bathroom connected to our room.
"Ugh. Okay." I groaned as Colby picked Maisie up and rocked her as he went over to the bassinet.
As soon as she was out of his arms though she got a little fussy. "See? She wants to be held." I pouted.
"Shhh...she's alright." Colby said as Maisie calmed down. Colby gently rolled the bassinet for only a couple minutes before she was fast asleep.
"Okay, come on sweetheart." Colby said and came over to help me up.
"This is horrifying." I said, feeling like my insides were going to spill out of my body. "Should we get the doctor?" Colby asked nervously.
"No, we're badasses. We can do this. Just get that squirt bottle thing." I said and pointed to my bag. "What's that for?" He asked and went to grab it.
"I can't wipe or I'll destroy the stitches." I explained. "I can't even imagine how much pain you're in." He said as I nodded. "I'd kill for some meds, but won't get into that." I said as Colby sighed.
"That reminds me....uh..." Colby mumbled as he helped me stand. "What's wrong?" I asked as he sighed. "They want to bring Maisie in for testing for epilepsy." He said as I nodded.
"Makes sense. Why are you so nervous?" I asked as he pursed his lips. "They also need to check to see if she's addicted to any substances because you're an addict." He said as my heart sank.
They thought I would put my baby in danger like that?
"They said it's precautionary. Nobody thinks you were taking anything while you were pregnant." Colby said as I nodded. "Do you believe me when I say I haven't?" I asked quietly as he guided me towards the bathroom.
"Of course I do. You wouldn't put our daughter at risk and I know that." He said then turned me to face him.
"Don't let it get to your head, Jules. We both know you didn't take any pills while pregnant." He said as I nodded.
