Chapter 31 - Upside

For the next few days, all that anyone could thinkabout was baby Iris, and Peyton... Maya still hadn't had her baby. She knew it was gonna be hard without Daniel there, thats why she was glad to have Katlyn and Peyton in there with her. If she couldn't have her husband there with her, she wanted her best friends by her side. Everyone's focus was on the new babies. "Peyton... Can I... Can I hold her?" Peyton smiled, and spoke softly, "Of couse you can Maya... Here Iris... Its your aunt Maya." Maya stared at Iris as she took her in her arms. "Aww. Look at you... You sweet little thing... She's beatiful Peyton... She really does look like Aaron. Like... Alot." Peyton chuckled a bit. "I just hope she doesn't have his brains. He used a hammer to screw in the battery box of our dog feeder!" Peyton and Maya both statted laughing. "What's so funny?" Peyton and Maya tried to think of an excuse to tell Aaron... "N-Nothing... I'm gonna go get some tea. I'll leave you two alone." Maya handed Iris to Peyton, and crept away with a guilty look. "Thanks Maya." The girls both chuckled. Aaron crept up on his two girls and kissed both their fourheads. "Hey... I deserve mkre than a fourhead peck don't I?" Aaron laughed at Peyton, and kissed her rosy lips. "Yes you do... I'm so proud of you... I really wish the doctor didn't suspend us." Peyton looked at him confused. "What are you talking about. Aaron smirked, "Remember, he said no sexual intercourse of any kind for at least 6 weeks." Peyton covers Iris's ears and said quietly, "AARON! Not in front of the baby!" Aaron laughed and slowly took Iris in his arms. "Don't worry... She wont know how she was made... Not until she is 30. Or if I'm dead." Peyton laughed. "Come on. Don't be that dad... Just watch your mouth when she gets a littoe older." The both smiled at each other. Pretty soon it was 10 pm. Everyone headed home for some rest. The first time in nearly 2 days... Aaron slowly wiggled into Peyton's bed. He sat on the side, letting her rest comfortably in his lap. Iris was in a small heated crib by their Bed... "Goodnight, my beautiful girls... I love you." Peyton smiled up at Aaron, half awake, and said in almost a whisper voice. "We love you... Goodnight..." Peyton started to mumble, but fell asleep mid-sentence... Aaron thought they were the cutest things in the world... Nothing couod keep him from his girls. Aaron placed his head against Peyton's and kissed her heads side... He slowly cried while kissing her. He stayed there for about an hour, before he finally let Peyton sleep comfortably in her bed alone. He took the big chair by her bed, and held her hand...

It was about 2 am when Iris started to wake up. Aaron picked her up and rocked her in his arms. When he started to rub her tiny hands, she gripped on to his fingers. He wanted to cry... "Thats right... Your safe with me my little angel... I'll protect you. I promise... Goodnight Iris." Iris started to drift back to sleep, closing her little green eyes... Aaron didn't sleep at all for the rest of the time they were at the hospital. And when they went home 3 days later, he made sure he was the one to take care of Iris for the next week or so... He lived her more than he could even have imagined he would... He even fell asleep in the nursery. He would sneek in there at about 11 pm. Then would wake up at 6, and go back to bed with Peyton. He told her she slept the entire night, which wasn't true, but he just wanted her not to worry...

About 2 weeks after Iris was born Peyton found Aaron in the nursery at 3 am when she went to the bathroom... She checked the security cam, and saw Aaron go in there every night. She wanted to cry, he was being such a good father. And he was so attentive. He was doing this so she could sleep too... Peyton then started to wake up at midnight to walk in there and place a blanket on him. "Morning honey... So. Jow long have you known?" Peyton smirked. "I found out 4 days ago... You really are the best dad ever... Thank you. But I can handel her too." Peyton leaned over and kissed him deeply. "Well you carried her for 7 and a half months. You deserve rest. And I like sleeping by my baby girl... Its okay. Don't worry about me." Peyton smiled at Aaron, and things continued like this for the next few weeks...

Until, Maya had her baby girl... Peyton and Katlyn were in the room with her for a whole 4 hours. They held her hands the entire time... And there she was... Baby Mei... Mei Mei ment little sister. She was now Atticus's little sister. And boy did he love her. He always wanted to hold her. Just like Atka and Kenai. If they weren't mellow before, now they were. Those dogs were all over Iris and Mei. Baby Mei was more active than Iris. She always wanted to wiggle, neither of them knew how to crawl. While Iris was always still, and only wanted to be held. Eventually when Iris startsd to sleep the whole night through, Aaron finally stayed in their room for the whole night. But Atka always fell asleep by the foot of the crib. They even moved her bed there. And Kenai liked to be by the door. Making sure Atka and Iris were safe inside. And when they stayed at Maya's house. They put the babiesbin the same crib. Atka never went more than 10 feet away from them. Atticus was even a little protective. He liked to sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag by Mei. He and Kenai slept near the door, once again. And Atka by the little baby girls... They were so adorable. But like the nurse told Aaron. Life is full of plenty good suprises. Jin and Katlyn decided to get married in April. Weather Aaron aproved or not... Which he did... Jin and Katlyn were even talking about babies of their own... But for now, they wanted to enjoy this moment in their lives. Iris, Mei, Peyton's eyesight coming back. Everything looked like it was heading in the right direction...
