No one could stop them - Part Two ~ A.R

~ twenty eight ~

A/N I'm slowly running out of ideas on what to write about. Please, if you have any ideas and suggestions to share, please do :)

We were now at the hospital. I had our baby boy on my chest.

He was perfect.

Both me and him had been checked over and we were both fine.

He had been weighed, had his newborn reflexes checked and had a few other tests done.

"He looks like Maisie and Lottie." Less whispers, her hand stroking the back of his head.

"He does." I agree. "He looks like you."

She just smiles, before looking at me.

"You were so strong, liv. I'm so proud of you."

I just lean in and kiss her.

A cry then breaks the quietness of the room.

Less gently rubs his back, his cries dying down.

"Take him, baby." I tell her and she nods, picking him up and resting him against her chests

"Hi bubba. Hi Noah. Do we think he's a Noah?" Alessia asks

Noah was the name we'd both agreed on depending if he looked like a Noah or not.

"I think so."

"Noah Luca Giorgio Russo." Alessia said, kissing his head.

Noah woke us up with a soft cry.

Me and lessi had attempted to sleep but our minds were focused on Noah.

He had woken up once for a feed but had gone straight back to sleep.

We'd got up and about, well, Alessia had. I had stayed in bed, my body too sore to get up.

We'd called Carol to tell her that her and Mario could come with the girls.

I felt so bad that we weren't there for them when they woke up on Christmas.

With how well me and Noah were doing, the nurse said we might even be discharged later today.

A knock filled the room and Alessia got up to open it.

"Hi mum, hi dad." Less says, hugging them as they walk in. "Hi, bubbas. Merry Christmas."

"Mama?" Lottie asks before walking round the corner and seeing me.

Less picked up Lottie and Maisie and rested them on the bed.

"Careful of mama, okay?" She told them and they nodded.

"Baby?" Lottie asked, looking into his crib and I nodded.

"This is your baby brother. He's very little though so you have to be careful." I explain the best I could to them.

Less picks him up and sits on the bed so the girls could look at him properly.

I couldn't help but cry when Lottie and Maisie just looked at him. I looked over at Alessia who was also nearly crying.

She walked over to the bed and sat down next to me.

The girls cuddled into our sides as the four of us looked at our newest family member.

Less presses a kiss onto my head and I rest it on her shoulder.

"He's gorgeous, you two." Carol says, wiping a tear.

Noah then yawned and in reaction, Maisie gasped.

"Tired, mama." She said, pointing to Noah.

"He is tired, bubba. He sleeps for a long time."

Carol and Mario then held Noah for a while whilst the nurses get the discharge paperwork.

"A baby for Christmas, huh?" Carol says, holding a sleeping Noah in her arms.

Me and less hum, watching Noah slightly fuss in his sleep.

"Did your water just break by itself or had you done something because clearly the universe wanted him born on Christmas."

Me and less just look at each other and go red, giving Carol her answer.

"Oh." Was all she said with a grin, looking down at Noah in her arms.

—

Carol and Mario took Maisie and Lottie home whilst we signed a few bits of paperwork.

Just before we were leaving, we decided to FaceTime Tooney and then Georgia after.

"Merry Christmas!" Ella shouted as she picked up the call.

"Merry Christmas." Alessia whispers back, drawing a frown from Ella.

"Why are you whispering?"

Alessia then flips the camera to Noah all buckled into his car seat.

He looked tiny in it.

"You had the baby?" She exclaims, her face coming right close to the screen so she could see better.

"Liv had him in the car this morning. His birthday is Christmas Day." Less explains with a laugh, fixing Noah's hat with her free hand. "He's perfect, Tooney."

"Is Liv okay?"

"Livvy is perfect too. She was just incredible Tooney. She's got this way where she can just blow me away and she did that this morning. She was so strong."

I reach to hold Alessia's hand, squeezing it gently to say thank you.

"Well done, Livvy." Tooney says. "I'm booking train tickets down to London now. Tell me when you're ready for me to visit and I'll be there."

"You can come whenever Ella. You don't need an invitation to our house."

Noah starts to fuss, his little legs kicking away whilst his mouth opens wide.

His face goes all red before a scream leaves his mouth.

"I'll let you two go so you can sort him. I'll be down as soon as I can."

We say our goodbyes before phoning G.

She had the exact same reaction, promising to book plane tickets as soon as the new year rolls round.

Me and less then get ready to leave.

She picks up Noah's car seat and we leave the hospital ready to start our journey as parents of 3.
