CHAPTER 51
Sean checked on Katelyn's condition after sending their parent out of the room. He
looked at his wife's face and gently stroked her hair, and Katelyn slowly opened her
eyes. He was surprised to discover that he had woken his wife up.
He gently stroked Katelyn's cheeks, hoping to get her to sleep again, but then a loud
baby cry filled the room. They were all surprised and dashed to the bassinet.
Katelyn struggled to recall what had happened before turning her head to hear a cry. She discovered that Sean was holding their child.
Sean approached Katelyn as she stretched her arms towards the baby and laid Chris next to her. Lewis and Alden stood quietly behind them, watching the couple's interaction.
Chris is still crying when he is laying next to his mother. Katelyn felt compelled to hold him due to her maternal instincts. She asked her husband to assist her in putting Chris in her arms. She stroked her baby cheek and noticed Chris try to suck her finger. She was delighted to learn that her baby prefers breast milk.
Sean, who understands the situation, tries to assist his wife in finding a comfortable position to breastfeed their baby. Katelyn paused as she noticed the presence of his husband's best friend, Alden, and Lewis.
Fortunately, due to her husband's high sensitivity, Sean recognized the situation and asked his friends to return home, citing Katelyn's awakening. Alden and Lewis, who are considerate, simply left the hospital after congratulating Katelyn.
The couple then got busy with their newborn baby. Katelyn was breastfeeding Chris while Sean supported and comforted his wife. Chris was soundly sleeping in her mother's arms after already being full. Sean takes over Chris and slowly places him in the bassinet. He returned to his wife's bed after ensuring that Chris slept soundly. He took her hand and kissed it before putting it on his cheek. Sean went on to say "Thank you for your hard works in giving birth to our son, Lily."
Katelyn was moved by Sean's behavior toward her and grateful to have him in her life. She kissed her husband's lips, and they exchanged gentle kisses to express their feelings. They came to a halt when a nurse knocked on the door and inquired about Katelyn's condition. She advised Katelyn to rest and eat more since she was still weak. She also stated that the doctor would check on her tomorrow.
Sean brings the hospital meal for a new mother to bed and patiently feeds Katelyn, as directed by the nurse. His wife also asked him to eat the meal prepared by Alden and Lewis and rest after their long day. After finishing their meals, they fell asleep together.
The next morning, Sean was awakened by Chris crying. He quickly carried Chris and attempted to get him to stop crying, but was unsuccessful. Katelyn, who had just woken up, asked him to bring Chris to her. She immediately breastfeeds her baby to make him stop crying, which is completely effective. Sean laughed at his son's cuteness as Chris suckled greedily, making various noises from his mouth.
Mama Sara and Mama Laura entered the room after a brief knock on the door, right in the middle of breastfeeding. They gathered as their husbands dealt with some matters before going to the hospital.
The new grandmother approached Katelyn and kissed her. They enjoy watching their grandson actively suckle at his mother. After Katelyn finished breastfeeding Chris, Mama Sara carried him in her arms and sang a lullaby to make him comfortable, while Mama Laura assisted Sean in caring for Katelyn.
When their father entered the room, Sean was still eating his breakfast. They went up to the bassinet to check on their grandson. When they saw a baby sleep soundly, they smiled with sparkling eyes. They then hugged Katelyn and allowed her to rest. They gathered on the couch and talked about their grandson. They were obviously happy.
Elena took the time to visit Katelyn before heading to work at the hospital. She arrived at Katelyn's VIP room alone because Alden had a commitment in the morning and couldn't join her. Elena knocked on the door to enter the room. Sean had already opened the door when she pushed it open. He cordially invites her inside.
" How's Katelyn doing, Sean? Elena inquired as she noticed Katelyn was asleep.
"Everything seems fine. "She just breastfed our baby before sleeping," Sean replied.
"Oh, that is good. "I'm glad to hear that," Elena responded.
"The doctor will check her today," Sean explained.
"If everything okay, they can go home soon." Elena concluded.
"Yes, we wish everything would be fine," Sean replied.
Elena said goodbye after a brief visit because it was time for her to return to work and fulfill her responsibilities at the hospital where she worked. Their parents also said goodbye and will return later.
