| Chapter 12 � 2:26pm May 16th; Later that day (JC�s POV) I walked into Chrissy�s private room to see her sleeping in the bed. The baby�s bassinet was at the foot of the bed without the baby in it. Chrissy rolled her head to face me and her eyes fluttered open. �Hi,� Chrissy said. �Want to hold your nephew?� �Yeah,� I said smiling at her. �I would love to hold him.� �Meet Brandon Joseph Kirkpatrick,� Chrissy said handing him to me. �Why Joseph,� I asked. �My Grandfathers name was Joseph,� Chrissy said. �He died 13 years ago Friday. I miss him so much.� �Oh,� I said smiling at the sleeping little baby in my arms. �That was a good idea and I�m sorry about him. How long has he been gone?� �It will be 13 years,� Chrissy said. �He taught me a lot in a short amount of time. I miss him.� Just then the door opened and Lance, Crystal, Danielle, and Stephanie walked in. Crystal looked almost as bad as Chrissy. �Hi guys,� I said. �I was just leaving. I will be back later.� Crystal gave me a hug and I handed Chrissy back Brandon. I gave her a kiss on the forehead. �Congratulations,� I whispered in her hear. �I love you.� �Thank you,� Chrissy said. �I love you too.� (Justin�s POV) I walked into the room as JC walked out. I had seen the baby just minutes before, but I saw a pretty bouquet of flowers in the gift shop and had to get them for Chrissy. �Here,� I said handing her the flowers in a dainty vase. �I thought you would like something to help this pathetic looking room.� �Thank you,� Chrissy said giving me a hug. �You�re more then welcome,� I said. �Anything to help a friend and a new nephew. My first nephew!� I stood next to Lance, who held sleeping Stephanie in his arms, in the back of the room watching as Crystal lifted Danielle onto the bed. �Danielle,� Chrissy started. �This is your new baby brother. His name is Brandon. Can you give him a gentle kiss?� Danielle reached down and gave him a kiss on the head and he started crying. �What did I do, mommy,� Danielle asked looking like she wanted to cry too. �I didn�t mean it.� �You didn�t do anything,� Chrissy said laughing. �He is just hungry and that�s how he tell me that he wants some milk.� �Oh,� Danielle said looking at him funny. �Can�t he talk, mommy?� �Not yet sweetie,� Chrissy said. �He is too little.� �I have to go,� I said. �I will talk to you later.� I opened the door and walked out into the hallway. (Chris�s POV) I walked into the room at 6:30pm the night that Brandon was born. I couldn�t believe that just 10 months ago, Chrissy and I were making the baby and now he was actually here and we had a new addition to the family. Chrissy was sleeping with Brandon on the bed next to her. I kissed her cheek and she opened her eyes. �Hi,� I said. �I missed you and so did Danielle.� Chrissy gave Danielle a kiss on the head and me on the cheek. I took the baby from the bed and sat down in the chair next to the bed. Danielle had climbed up onto the bed with Chrissy. �He has your eyes,� I said looking at Chrissy�s big blue eyes. �He has my noes.� �He has you looks too,� Chrissy said smiling. �I love his little face.� I gave Chrissy another kiss and we were soon talking about getting another car and how we would go and visit my parents when the baby was old enough. �I�m sorry,� The nurse said as he walked into the room. �Visiting hours are over, you have to leave.� �Thank you,� I said. �I will see you in the morning. You get to come home tomorrow night.� �I can�t wait,� Chrissy said. �I want to get home and cuddle with you and Danielle.� Danielle and I walked out of the room blowing Chrissy kisses the whole way out. I missed having her at home. There was something missing when she was gone. She made such a great mom and I couldn�t wait until we got to do it again with Brandon. I finally got a little boy and I knew that we were going to do a lot together. Play sports and burp together. It would be fun and exciting! |
