CHAPTER 49
They placed their newborn baby on Katelyn's chest on his stomach while continuing medical treatments for Katelyn and the baby. Katelyn gently hugged and kissed her baby, as her maternal instincts surfaced. While their newborn baby actively moving and seems looking for breast milk. Sean, who could see his wife and son from the side bed, was grateful for the beautiful moment they were having. With tears streaming down his face, he closed his eyes and thanked God for His grace and mercy in his life.
After the cord was clamped, one of the nurses took the baby from Katelyn and placed it on Sean's chest for skin-to-skin contact, which greatly aided bonding.
Sean, who had never held a baby before, was a little nervous when the nurse wanted to hand over their newborn. The nurse persuaded him and told Sean to sit in a chair near Katelyn's bed. They also asked Sean to remove his shirt before laying his son on his chest.They carefully placed the baby on Sean's chest.
He gently hugged his newborn in order to keep him warm. His cheerful expression was clearly visible.Soon after, the nurse removed their baby from Sean's chest to perform additional examinations.
After some time has passed, the nurse returns with their baby wrapped in a white blanket. "You have a really handsome baby boy, Sir.. Madam," she said with a smile. He'll attract a lot of girls later."
"Thank you for the compliment about our son," Sean replied, proudly smiling. Sean approached his son, and the nurse placed the baby in his arms after giving Sean step-by-step instructions on how to hold the baby safely.
Sean did as the nurse instructed, and after ensuring the baby was safe in his arms, he walked with the baby closer to the mother. Katelyn, who saw the baby, reached out her hand and stroked his cheek because she was still weak after giving birth. The doctors appeared to have completed Katelyn's medical treatment, so the nurse continued washing and cleaning her body before she was transferred to the postnatal ward. Sean kissed his wife and asked Katelyn's permission to deliver the good news to their family, who had been waiting outside. Katelyn smiled and nodded her head.
Meanwhile, Sean delivered the baby to their parents, who were standing outside the room. They had been waiting outside for a long time and were relieved when they saw Sean come out holding a baby. "How is Katelyn Sean?" asked Mama Laura and Mama Sara simultaneously, while Papa Albert and Papa Justin awaited Sean's response.
Everything that happened inside was revealed to them by the new father. They all thanked God together. They were all filled with joy when they discovered that their grandson and the mother were doing well.
They gathered around Sean to see their grandchild. "Is it a baby boy or a baby girl?" asked Mama Laura.
"A boy.. Mom," Sean responded.
"Oh my handsome grandson," Mama Sara said as she carried her newborn grandson.
"Have you give him an a name ?" Papa Justin enquired.
" Katelyn and I have been working on naming him since he was 28 weeks old... "Christopher Alexander Jones" said Sean.
"What a great name for my first grandson," Papa Albert exclaimed happily.
They were all pleased with the name and waited outside for Katelyn, while Sean desired to return inside to accompany Katelyn. As a result, he asked their parents to look after his son outside before walking to the door where Katelyn was being treated.
Soon after, the door opened, and the nurse pushed Katelyn, who was lying with her eyes closed on the bed. The doctor said his goodbyes and returned to his other duties. "Thank you, doctor," Sean said as he shook the hand of the doctor who had treated his wife, followed by the parents bowing their heads and shaking hands with the doctor and team. Sean quickly approached Katelyn and took hold of his wife's still-weak hand.
Another nurse was pushing a bassinet from the inside and approaching Mama Sara, who was holding the baby. She asked Mama Sara to put the baby in the bassinet.Then they pushed it along with Katelyn.
They were all following Katelyn where the nurse was taking her along with their new born baby boy named Chris. They walked into a previously reserved VIP room. After everything was settled, the nurse exited the room to perform other duties.
