Tonight has been very emotional for all of us. I am overwhelmed with love. Peace settled into my heart when I looked upon my wife and son. The babe hungrilly suckled on its mothers breast, and I swear, I have never seen a more beautiful vision in my entire life! My heart swelled with love, as happy tears rolled down my face.
Elizabeth and my son are my life now. Every breath that I take it is for them. I have to keep them safe, and happy, that is my job from here on.
Elizabeths eyes fell on me, and a weak smile formed on her plump lips. I leaned my head closer and kissed her warm lips, and she hungrilly kissed me back, awakening feelings in my loins that have been waiting patiently for this moment, but the babe wanted all the attention focused on him and he wiggled in his mothers arms and started to cry loudly.
The door immediately burst open and in marched Mary, James, and Brendan. Were they standing outside the door waiting for an excuse to come in? Mary bent over and lifted my son, in her arms and rocked him gently back and forth.
"I will take Christopher now and let you get the rest that you deserve, Elizabeth, do not worry, I have plenty of experience with babes." she whispered, and she walked away with her entourage following behind her. As the door closed, I heard James and Brendan, arguing who will hold the babe next.
My attention went back to the love of my life. I was laying carefully on the bed next to her. I pulled up the satin ivory sheet and covered her exposed breasts. those did not belong only to me anymore, I have to share them with my son, and he has priority now. I sighed, Mary warned me earlier that I am not to touch her for at least six weeks. If I were in a torture chamber it would have been less painfull, I thought dryly.
I could see Elizabeth struggling to keep her eyes open. She is very tired from giving birth to my son. She deserves a good rest. "Sleep my love, the babe is in good hands and I will not leave your sight." I told her.
"I love you ALeaxander." she whispered, and she closed her eyes and passed out.
"Thank you." I whispered back, as emotion choked me and I spilled more happy tears.
All through the night, my son cried for more food. He was a hungry babe and I smiled down at mother and child, as my son demanded to be fed. Elizabeth switched to the other breast and my son's chubby little hand lay on his mothers breast claiming it for his own.
Mary, James and Brendan would not leave the room until the babe was done with his meal. Then they argued who would hold, rock and change his diaper. I did not mind them taking my son, it allowed me alone time with my wife, even though she fell back to sleep, I lay awake, adoring every second I had with her.
