~Flynn ~
"Flynn!!" Dad's voice boomed outside my office and I almost spitted out my coffee. He rarely shouted. And what is up his sleeve? Jeez.
"What is it Dad?" His face was set in a tight scowled and I pressed my lips in a thin disapproving line back at him. He got on my nerve lately. Bugging me on how to treat my own wife! He adored Ellie so much worse after the incident last time.
"Where the hell was your phone?" His hand clutched around his own cell phone, waving around frantically and I frowned. Pulling out mine, I forgot to turn it on.
"I was in the meeting, you know that," I muttered, walking back to my desk. I pressed lightly on the top button until an Apple sign showed on the screen.
"It's Ellie!" What? My mouth went on and off like an idiot as he guffawed loudly at my expression. I remembered she's due in another week! We've just went back from the hospital last week!
"Where the hell is my car key???" I shouted, panic settled in my system and I frantically on my feet and hand, searching for the damn car key.
"Here! Dumbass, luckily your mom was there, I'll go after I meet Mr. Kanavagh," He gripped my wrist and dropped the keys into my palm. It was clearly on my desk and how much of an idiot could I be?
I ran full speed toward the elevator, pressing rapidly on the downward button, cursing all along at all the three boxes that didn't open up fast enough.
Finally it came and I was contemplated on making my way down the stairs but this is 26th floor for fuck sake. I bounced my legs unconsciously at the agonizing slow pace and it was like I was riding upward. Her phone kept ringing and ringing and I got to the voicemail.
Fuck it,
I tried again and after a second ring my mom hollered from the earpiece.
"Mom! Where's Ellie?" I almost shouted and I could hear my angel moaning in pain from the background.
"She's here! Why the hell your phone is off? Come quick!"
"Put the phone to her ear please mom!" I ran out of the elevator, nearly ran straight the foyer door, clicking my car unlock button all along. I didn't know why I parked my car in front of the office this morning.
"You gonna pay for this Flynn, it's hurt!" She growled through the earpiece and I almost laughed.
"I'll be there in five, I'm sorry love, I was in the meeting! Tell him to wait for daddy please,"
"No it's a she! Shit, argh," and the line went dead as the sped through the quite remote traffic.
Thanks god.
I ran faster than any athletic inside the hospital, bolted straight to the Maternity Ward on third floor. I took two steps at a time, didn't bothered looking at the suck ass elevator at all. I asked for Ellie at the nurse front reception, panting heavily out her name and spotted my mom outside room three.
Ellie was on the wheelchair, giggling with my mom, her expression sour as I reached her.
"Are you okay?" I panted, dropping on my knees in front of her. I was almost out of breath as I drank in her purple dress my mom bought for her and her sweaty forehead. Her belly was huge as she glared at me.
"I'm fine right now, it's the contraction happening, but it's dull now, my lower back ache. If it wasn't for Dad, you'd miss our daughter birth." she pouted, moaning quietly.
"I'm sorry! And where's Dr. Clark?" I asked frantically, my voice high pitch and squeaky. Ellie and my mom laughing at me until she groaned out in pain.
Fuck!
"Calm down, Toflynn, she's preparing for Ellie delivery right now, her cervix only dilates for 4 centimeter only," I groaned, this is not the time for childhood nickname!
The nurse walked in blue scrub and wheeled Ellie into the ER, handing me a set of blue scrub, plastic shoes and hair wraps.
I quickly changed, wincing at her gut wrenching scream resonated the entire place.
Dr. Clark came in and shook my hand then she positioned herself between Ellie opened legs. Ellie hand grasped onto mine in a bone crushing vice like grip and she screamed as Dr. Clark told her it's was good enough to push. Maybe it was because her cervix contraction became progressively harsh, preparing for the delivery.
"You're doing so good Ellie, now count to three and push again,"
"It's fucking hurt like a bitch Flynn, you won't get any for years from now on," she hissed, then groaned as I kissed her forehead.
"Okay sweetheart, I won't," Jeez, she feisty when she was in labour. Even Dr. Clark let out a quite chuckle.
"Push now Ellie,"
"Aghhhhhhh," This was hers.
“Ahhhhhhhh” This was mine as she cried out loud again, her back rose off the bed and she decided to let go of my hand and gripped into my hairs instead.
"Okay, I can see the baby head, prepare for another push Ellie, you're doing so good." Ellie’s breath was harsh as she panted and cried at the circles of breathing in and pushed.
And then my heartbeat froze at the sound of our baby crying.
He screamed loud and clear. A few more scream, Dr. Clark brought him over and placed him on Ellie naked chest.
"A baby boy. Congratulation, Flynn, Ellie," Dr. Clark's eyes was smiling behind the blue mask.
Ellie was panting heavily, her forehead was soaked with sweat and I froze on the spot at the sight.
Our baby.
Instantly he calmed down, as Ellie tearful eyes swiveled back to mine and I realized I also had tears rolled down my cheeks.
He's ours.
"Hey, this is mama," Her voice broke, gruffly, lovingly and I swallowed madly at the big lump in my throat.
"Thanks you," I whispered, leaning down and claimed her lips in a sweet cherished kiss and she kissed me back with the same intensity.
He's was crying softly then snatched on her nipple which has been placed in front of his lips and sucked to his life content. I chuckled, he was really chubby for a newborn and my mind was reeling from the way that he was just like me.
Instinctively addict to nipple.
After a moment, the nurse brought him away to clean and Dr. Clark cleaned Ellie and charged her into our VIP hospital room.
A while after we settled in our room, the nurse wheeled him in with Dr. Clark following behind, informing us merrily that he was a perfect newborn and a quite handful one with his 3.8kg.
Both our mom and dad crowded the hospital room as they exchanged time cooing over their grandson, while I held Ellie hand, smiling gently at the way our life fall perfectly into puzzle piece. A perfect one that we thought we couldn’t have.
"So, Wilson or Celia?" I smirked after our parent were gone, called it the night because it was pass visiting time. She was holding him to her chest, tracing the side of his cheek lovingly as he sucking on her nipple for a night meal and she leaned back into my front.
Yeah, she demanded I lay with her on the hospital bed.
"You jerk!" I chuckled as she rolled her eyes, smiling. She was convinced that our baby was a girl when she did the ultrasound while I was sure that he's a boy. It was like an inside joke and we had the name ready for our baby.
"Wilson, or Will it is," she looked back at me as I leaned down and kissed her temple.
"That's mine, I'm jealous," I pouted jokingly, gestured at him as he sucked on her nipple greedily. Ellie laughed and I couldn't help smiling along. My heart expanded madly inside my ribcages. I felt the other one in my hand; they were fuller and much bigger. And then the tips poured out milk as Ellie told me off. I chuckled when she glared at me.
"Want to hold him?" I blanched internally. And that didn't go by without she noticed.
"You'll do fine. I'll strangle you if you drop him!" She must have seen the uneasy look in my eyes as she threatened me.
He was beautiful, dressed in blue shirt and white polka dot short; he was sleeping peacefully inside the crib as I cradled him inside the crooked of my arms.
His white puffy cheeks looked full and so fluffy as I stay rigid on my back, I was resembling a statue at the moment.
"Relax, Flynn," Ellie chuckled quietly, touching my tense back and I blew out a big breath I didn't realize I was holding in.
"Hello son, call me daddy okay? I will teach you to woo all the pretty girl when you're big enough," I chucked when Ellie slapped my bicep and I kissed her forehead.
"Thanks for this precious little thing, Mommy, I love you."
"And I love you," she whispered back and yes, my life is complete.
*...*...*...*...*
"Wilson!!!!!" Ellie screamed from inside the house as Will mischief little three years old ran out of the backdoor toward me on the hammock near his swing. We moved into this house right after Will birth. A gift from my dad, he said his grandson needed a cozier living environment where he could run to his heart content. I chuckled at his full of milk fat thighs rubbing at the motion of his speed, he kept gigging like mad and I could make out his feet was covered in white flour as he rushed into my awaiting arms. Dressing in blue shirt and jumpsuit, he looked so adorable.
"Come here you little pig!" Ellie was running breathlessly behind him, screaming all along.
"It's daddy! Not me," what?!
"What? Why??" He was covering his hand on his mouth and kept on giggling at us.
"Your chubby footprint is all over the kitchen and you dare accusing daddy?" He burst out laughing and I couldn't help but laughed along.
"You traiter! You'd dropped daddy in this?" I tightened my hold on him until he squirmed out uncomfortably.
"I just wanted to help mommy." he pouted and I laughed at Ellie sour expression. He was wrecking havoc lately, quite a handful little guy and so damn stubborn.
Ellie accused me for that.
“Where’s Cici?” A shorter version for Celia. I pulled her on my laps and plant a soft kiss on her lips. Her scowl loosened and she sighed into my lips. Her desirable lips widened at the mentioned of our daughter.
“She’s asleep,” Her dreamy sigh pulled me back to when we walked into the nursery. And Wilson took off and sprint toward baffled Bingo that was just exit the backdoor.
*…*…*…*…*
"How old is she?"
"Just one year and four month, poor child, her mom and dad went back from works and the freight truck driver crashed into the middle of their car,"
"Can I see her?" I asked the nurse chaperon and she nodded. I pulled Ellie all along. Will was with Julia, his nanny. We walked for a minute, then rounded the corner and faced the ward with pink wall highlight with cute baby blue objects.
She turned to smile at us then slid open the doubles door and led us in. She gestured toward a girl at the corner and my heart constricted strangely at the image.
She was dressed in a pink dress, typical girly attire, playing quietly with the car hand phone toy. Ellie squeezed my hand as we walked toward her.
"She has been refused to meet any people, won't play with any kids, just sat alone, and throwing tantrum when they wanted to adopt her," the nurse said, frowning wistfully.
"Hi there, sweetheart," the nurse sidled toward her and she cringed back involuntarily. Her eyes wide, full darkest brown orbs framed with long curly lashes, her cheeks was chubby and full and that made her lips pouted out adorably. Her pigtails made her looked like an angel, and I glanced at Ellie only to find out that she felt the same way.
To sum up, this beautiful little girl captured my heart just in second.
Her eyes landed on us and I smiled.
For a second she stared, probably wondering who we were. Then she smiled shyly at me and the nurse gasped.
I crouched down, and a small tingles of love rested their way inside my heart when she didn't look at me frighteningly.
"Can I play?" Softly, I couldn't help but showed my teeth goofily at her, tilting my head to the side at this curious little creature. I widened my palm out and she giggled adorably back and then gave her pink phone.
"Hello, princess," I pressed the phone toy to my ear, and talked into them like an idiot. Ellie was smiling softly beside me at the exchange.
"Wanna go play outside?" I threw my arms out for her and surprisingly she came into my arms.
I chuckled.
The nurse stared at me as if I grown another head and I hauled her up, my forearm was under her bum as she wrapped her little hand around my neck.
"She was never come into contact with someone else since she came here," the nurse said, baffled.
"Well, I guess she mine now, come with me, princess?" And she nodded, showing her little four teeth at me.
"Tatta!"

~ Epilogue~
“Cici don’t run!” I grasped Ellie hand, her mother instinct almost push her to run after Cici and Will as they chased each other along the sand. We came back to the island. Our unofficial wedding place. This time there were two more little human and half little Bingo. I rolled my eyes at our matching outfit Ellie insisted we wore. Her and Cici had pink flower short dress on while Will and I had flowery shirt with a white short. Those two made my heart melt at the image of Will protectiveness over his little sister.
“Relax, love,” We had a full mega grin on, the image of them growing from day to day made me love three of them even more.
“They were so full of energy,” She whined and I chuckled. Pulling her into me by her waist into my arms, I brushed her silky strand away, and I just stared into her eyes as she stared back.
“I still couldn’t believe this you know?” Her eyes were alive with happiness, and that made me the happiest person on this god green earth. “I still couldn’t believe my cousin nerdy best friend got me this bad,” I chuckled as she slapped my chest. I drank her in, appreciated how much love she weight it on me and I could feel this alight and gentle.
“Maybe I gotta thank her you know, she brought us together,” Ellie mocked.
“No, seriously, you complete my life. You made me feel lucky I felt in love with my best friend.” I raised her chin; my hand stroked her jaws as my mouth started to water at the contact. I was amazed after this long she has an ability to make my heart race.
“I love you husband, please don’t ever change for our little family, because it is real this time, we won’t have to imagine anymore.”
“You are my everything Ellie.” I crushed her toward me and automatically her arms went around my neck as my mouth swooped in, tasting her, stroking her tongue with mine to my heart content.
Only to break away at the sound of Bingo barking along with Cici giggled. She ran full speed toward me as I let go of her mom and caught her.
“Hello, pumpkin!”
One hand around Ellie waist, the other one around my daughter, we made our way toward the dome of flower.
Our wedding place.
