Chapter 1070: Chapter 133 : Big Happy Family

*Sasha*

“You’re doing great, baby,” Lucas’s calm, grounding voice whispered in my ear. He held my hand tightly and kept dabbing my forehead with a damp cloth.

Doctors and nurses swirled around me for what seemed like hours. The entire time, I felt like I was splitting in two, right down the middle. They all kept telling me it was normal and to keep pushing, but I didn’t think anything about this was normal....

I pushed and pushed and it never seemed like the pain would end, each powerful contraction shaking my entire body.

“I see the head,” the nurse told me. “That’s it, Sasha, just a few more big pushes.”

“You can do this, Sasha.” Lucas kissed my hand and then my forehead.

I nodded, too winded and in too much pain to form words. I gripped his hands tighter and pushed with all my might.

“He’s out. We’ve got him.”

“Sasha, you can relax now,” Lucas told me.

Immediately, I relaxed on the table, feeling euphoric as endorphins rushed through me now that the pain was gone. The lights in the room blurred slightly and all the sounds around me were muffled.

All but one.

Through the grogginess, I heard one sound, clear as day, above all others–a baby crying.

I saw the nurses moving around the room. They took my son to a nearby table, washed him and swaddled him. He cried until they had him bundled up in the warm blankets. I saw them do a quick exam.

The nurse handed the bundle to Lucas. I hadn’t even noticed he’d left my side.

My mind was still swimming in a daze.

Lucas rocked his arms gently and cooed at the little life in his arms. I’d never seen him look so happy and tender. I swear there were tears in his eyes, but that could’ve been the euphoric aftershock.

Lucas brought the baby to me. “Ready to meet our son?”

I nodded and held out my arms. Everything in the room started to come back into focus. The nurses still swirled around me, checking me out to make sure I was okay.

I ignored them all. My strength returned as I held out my arms. Lucas placed the baby in my arms and I pulled him close. He had his little eyes closed and his hands tucked up to his face.

“Oh my Goddess,” I whispered. “I’ve never seen....”

“He’s absolutely perfect,” Lucas agreed. He squeezed into the bed beside me, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and putting his other hand on our son.

“He’s so beautiful. I can’t... I never want to take my eyes off of him.” Tears welled in my eyes and I sniffled. I leaned down and kissed his soft face. He cooed in his sleep and wiggled around.

“You were amazing, Sasha. I can’t believe how great you were. It was a lot of hard work.”

“It was worth it,” I gushed. I hadn’t taken my eyes off my perfect, beautiful baby boy.

The nurses took our son again for another exam and to give me a little time to rest. After I was cleaned up and changed, Lucas and I took a nap in each other’s arms. Even in all my exhaustion, all I could think about was the adorable little face of my son.

***

“Here you are, Mom,” the nurse said, bringing the baby back when Lucas and I woke up.

I immediately kissed him and held him close. I wanted him to always know how loved he was.

“What are you going to name him?”

I glanced at Lucas. “Oh....”

“Um... we haven’t made a final decision yet,” Lucas admitted.

“Well, you better hurry. I need a name for the birth certificate.” She checked my vitals again and started reviewing some things on a clipboard.

“I can’t remember any of the names we talked about when we were at the beach,” I admitted. “None of them seem right.”

Lucas nodded. “I agree. We need something fitting of a prince because he’s our prince now.”

The nurse chuckled. “You three make such a beautiful family.”

“How about Hunter?” I asked.

Lucas thought it over. “Yeah, I like Hunter. It is strong, gives him purpose, and is worthy of someone of his stature.”

I kissed the infant’s forehead. “Alright, then, he’s Hunter.”

“I’ll put that on the birth certificate. A lactation specialist will be by in a little while.” The nurse flashed a smile and left.

The lactation specialist stopped by and patiently walked me through breastfeeding and pumping. I felt so silly, like a fumbling child, as I figured it all out.

After Hunter had a good meal, the doctors came and moved us to a recovery room where we could have visitors. I had no doubt my mother, Maeve, and other friends and family were lined up to meet him.

Maeve and my mom were already waiting. They came right up to the bed and tossed several stuffed animals on my lap.

“Oh my, what a handsome boy,” Maeve said, “worthy of the Black family name.”

Lucas cleared his throat. “Actually, we haven’t talked about whose last name he’ll have.”

Maeve gave him a sharp look.

My mother sat on the edge of the bed and gave me a side hug. “Wow, Sasha, he’s so gorgeous. You did a good job with him.”

“Yeah, we made a pretty good-looking kid,” Lucas chuckled.

“Lucas!” Maeve slapped his arm.

“What? It’s true.”

I giggled and snuggled my baby boy. “His name is Hunter. Mom, thank you for being here.”

I knew my mother’s own experience with pregnancy and childbirth was much different than mine, but I was glad she was there with me.

“Maeve and I are heading to the mansion after this. We want to make sure you have everything you need for bringing the baby home.”

“Oh, that’s a huge help, thank you.”

My mom kissed my forehead and the new grandmothers cooed over the baby once more.

After they left, Amanda stopped by for a visit.

“Amanda, you didn’t have to come.”

“What are best friends for? I’ll tell you. They are for bringing you the things you need that your baby daddy forgot to pack.” Amanda stuck her tongue out at Lucas. She put a bag on my bed and pulled out some shampoo and soap, a novel I was reading, and a hairbrush.

Unexpectedly, I burst into tears.

Lucas came over and took Hunter so I could hug Amanda. “You are... absolutely my best friend.”

“I didn’t mean to make you cry, Sasha.”

“Pfft. It’s just the hormones. But thank you, I need all this stuff. Although, I can’t stop looking at my son long enough to read.”

We laughed as we pulled apart. Lucas gave me the baby back and I showed him off to Amanda.

“Wow... I mean... just... wow. He really is perfect, isn’t he?” she whispered in complete awe.

“Yeah, he is.” I looked over at Lucas and he nodded.

We’d discussed how we wanted certain people to be involved in our son’s life before he was born.

“Amanda, there’s something I want to ask you... rather, that we want to ask you.”

She looked at us expectantly. “What is it?”

“Do you want to be Hunter’s godmother? I mean, there’s no one else I would trust to teach him the ways of the world... or about me, if... you know.”

Amanda’s eyes lit up with tears. “Yes! Of course, I will be his godmother. That means I get to spoil him rotten forever!”

“Thank you. That means a lot.”

Amanda jumped up. “I better hit the gift store before it closes. So much to buy the little prince. Sasha, I’ll get you some chocolate, too, since I noticed Lucas hasn’t provided that, either.”

Lucas groaned and rolled his eyes. Amanda winked and tossed us a quick gaze.

I sighed and shook my head. “She’s really going to spoil the heck out of our son.”

As I recovered, nurses stopped by to help with breastfeeding, diaper changing, swaddling, and how to calm a fussy baby. I learned fast and I absolutely loved taking care of the little life that was dependent on me.

Lucas was totally Mr. Dad. He was so good with Hunter. I loved watching him with the baby and he was always ready to help out.

When Hunter was asleep in the hospital-provided bassinet, Lucas and I would just sit there and watch him for hours.

Every little expression and sound he made had us oohing and aahing over him. Was this what the rest of my life was going to be like?

If so, I was here for it.

“You’re such an amazing mother,” Lucas whispered while he watched Hunter sleep. He put his arm around my shoulders and kissed my cheek.

“And you’re an amazing father. You’ve taken to it so well.”

Lucas smirked. “Honestly, I never expected to love someone so much. Before we found out you were pregnant, I didn’t think a lot about what it would mean to be a father. I’m so glad I have the two of you. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“Me neither.”

My mother and Maeve came by every day. They both had plenty of unsolicited mother advice to give me. I didn’t let it bother me much. It was only natural for them to want to impart their wisdom.

When Lucas and I would stay up and watch Hunter sleep, we’d put our arms around each other. I could feel the bond between us growing stronger. Our mate bond brought us closer every day, and the love we both shared for our son and our family only made it stronger.

I was so grateful to have Lucas, my mate, by my side through all of this.

After just a couple of days, Hunter and I got released from the hospital. Ian picked us up and brought us home. I sat right next to Hunter in his car seat and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Every bump in the road, every sharp turn had me gasping and clinging to his car seat. Without the support of the hospital staff, going home was nerve-wracking.

As soon as we got back to the mansion, my mother and Maeve were there to meet us.

“Don’t worry, we got you a huge supply of infant diapers,” my mother said. She took my bag and walked up the steps with me.

“And Maeve and I made a bunch of meals for the two of you and put them in the freezer. They just need to be warmed up.”

“Wow, Mom. Thank you so much.”

“Now, we know the two of you want to have time to be a family. Just remember, if you need anything, we are more than happy to help.”

I glanced at Maeve and nodded. “That means a lot.”

We got Hunter inside and into the nursery. I sat down in the rocker and nursed him while Lucas and his grandmothers stood around talking.

I was happy to be home and happy to have my whole family with me.
