I Met The Love Of My Life.
This Little Baby She Means The World To Me.
*** Tony’s Pov ***
The guys were due to show up any minute, Alice has had some food, fed Sophia, showered and is now currently getting changed, which makes me in charge of putting a cute outfit on Sophia. I decided on the cute little pink and white polka dot dress we picked for her a while back, some cute white and pink frilly socks and a pink cardigan. She was definitely pretty in pink. She didn’t really fuss about much when I changed her, which was quite surprising actually. I smiled at myself in triumph; maybe this won’t be too hard.
Alice came back through wearing clean leggings and a baggy jumper, she looked so cute. Her hair has been washed and was in her natural waves. She hobbled over to the bed and sat up on it, I handed her Sophia so she could get a cuddle before everyone came to the hospital to see her and Sophia. Everyone was coming to see them. When I say everyone, I mean, everyone. My mum and Alice’s mum and dad have already been up, as well as my sister. Just now Vic, Jaime, Mike, Cassie and Jaxin were coming up. I could already tell Alice would be exhausted after all the visiting.
“Where’s my niece?!” Jaime shouted as he burst through the door.
“Shut up, Himes. She’s sleeping.” I laughed.
“I want to see her!” Cassie squealed, “Can I hold her?”
“Uh, no, I get to hold her first!” Jaime whined.
“No, you guys have it all wrong; I get to hold her first!” Jaxin said.
Vic then pushed through, “All you bitches got it wrong here. I’m holding her first.” He said.
Alice laughed, “Mike?”
“Yeah?” He smiled at her.
“Since all these losers were fighting and you stood patiently beside me, you get to hold her first.” She laughed, sticking her tongue out at the others as she handed Sophia to Mike.
“Hello baby Sophia, I’m your uncle Mikey. And I’m your favourite, okay? No matter what anyone does or says, I’m your favourite. I’ll buy you pretty things!” He said as he spoke to her and Alice and I couldn’t stop smiling, he looked so happy.
*** Alice’s Pov ***
We took photos of everyone with Sophia and after an hour or so; it was only Mike, Vic and Tony who were left here. Tony was sleeping on the chair next to me and it was so obvious how exhausted he was, with not having his own bed to sleep in, the poor little soul has been sleeping here with me.
“Guys?” I asked Vic who was cuddling Sophia and staring lovingly at her, and Mike who was also doing the same, stroking her cheek from time to time.
“Could one of you maybe take Tony home? Just for tonight, and come back up with him tomorrow morning when I get discharged?” I asked.
“Nope, I’m not leaving you two.” Tony said, I laughed as I didn’t even realise he was awake.
“Yeah you are, it’s just for one night. Mike will stay with me until late; you need your own bed and proper food. Go.”
Tony groaned, “Okay.”
Vic got up and handed me back Sophia, “I’ll take him home just now.” He smiled.
“Thank you, Vic.”
“Can I get one last cuddle from my girl before I go?”
“Of course, Tony.”
I watched as Tony took Sophia from my arms, her little body fussed around and she made little whimpering noises until she realised it was Tony and she instantly settled, see, I told you, already attached to him. I smiled at the way he held her and rocked her in his arms, “I’ll see you tomorrow morning baby girl. Be good with your momma. I love you so much,” He said, placing a little kiss on her forehead then handing our little bundle of joy back to me. “I love you baby, I’ll see you tomorrow.” he said as he kissed my lips and went off with Vic, taking some of Sophia’s gifts and cards with him.
- 2 Weeks Later-
I woke up at 8AM to the cries of my little baby girl, who had woken up for her feed. She squirmed about and cried until I picked her up.
“Shhh, baby girl. Shhh,” I cooed, “It’s just coming.”
She started settling in my arms and I took her to the kitchen where I’d heated her bottle up just ten minutes before. I tested it against my arm and then sat down on the couch in the living room with her. I was thankful Tony shut the blinds, or I would probably have been grumpier than my little princess is right now. Once I fed her, I sat her up and rubbed her back slowly until she gave me a big belch.
“That’s my girl.” I smiled, I’d been handling this pretty well, I must say. And I love being a mum.
I wrapped a blanket around her and me and got comfy on the couch with her for her to go for a little nap for another hour or so whilst I caught up on some TV. Around 9AM, the letterbox chapped with a letter coming through it and I got up, Sophia in my arms and I walked up to mine and Tony’s room. I knew exactly what that letter was about. I sighed as I got to our room, my nerves one hundred per cent kicking in. I put my baby girl back in her cot and once I was confident she wasn’t going to start crying, I walked away, putting the baby monitor on. I woke Tony up and told him to come downstairs. He put on a t-shirt and sweatpants and came downstairs with me. I think he knew what today was too.
He walked into the living room to sit down on the couch, whereas I went to pick up the letter. My hands shook as I bent down to grab it, and I could feel my heart thumping against my chest, my head started to spin. I’m so fucking scared. I don’t want Tony to leave me…
I looked at the front of the letter for a moment before going back into the living room, standing in front of Tony, not wanting to sit down with him in case the news was bad and he got angry. We both looked deep in thought, and too nervous to say anything to each other, but I decided to say something, something that needs to be said.
“Tony?” My voice shook as I spoke, I was afraid this was the last time he’d ever love me. The last time he’d ever look at me without pain in his eyes. To us right now, everything is perfect. To us right now, as far as we’re aware, Tony is Sophia’s father and we’re one big happy family. But this letter, this white, crisp, small letter could tear everything apart and leave it broken forever.
“Yeah?” he said and his voice was quiet. I was unbelievably scared right now. And I knew he was too.
“Whatever this letter says,” I said, wiping away a stray tear, “I want you to know, that I love you. I love you with my whole being. I don’t know what I’d do without you… Y-You’re my everything. And I know you’ve bonded with Sophia so if it unfortunately turns out that she’s not yours, and you don’t want to be with me, then you can see her whenever you want.”
“I love you too baby.” He said, as if he didn’t want to think about anything else. He didn’t want to think about the ‘what ifs’ right now, but I couldn’t help but do it.
“And Tony?” I asked, “No one can ever replace you, you are my perfection.” I said and he abruptly stood up, kissing me with so much force, love and passion that I felt even lighter headed than I did the very first time he ever kissed me.
“And you are mine.” he said, sitting back down in front of me on the couch. His head was in his hands as we both tried to prepare ourselves for this.
I looked down at the letter in my hands and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. I started to rip the envelope open, and once it was, I dropped it to the floor. I skimmed my eyes over the whole letter, and I gasped at what I saw. My hand went over my mouth as tears streamed down my face. I couldn’t do anything; say anything, process anything but this.
Tony looked at me with such fear, pain and utter heartbreak in his eyes, and I realised I couldn’t tell him myself, so I handed him the letter. I watched as his eyes skimmed the page and they went wide, eventually to where we were both crying…
