Scout and ChyChy
Ajax burst into laughter when he poked Asher's noise. "No no no you gotta say this while you do it." She said. "Watch: "poke-a-da-baby." She poked Asher's nose and giggled. Asher blinked and hiccuped cutely.~~~
"It won't be forever." She assured. "I could just see how badly you wanted to stay here and honestly it's so quiet without you here. It's just myself and Amelia. There's only so much the two of us can do especially with me doing school." She said.
~~~
"What? Her leg?" She asked. "Oh. Okay well I'll be there as soon as I can. But is it serious?" She asked. "How did you get this number?" She asked.
((Lol))Ajax giggled and shook her head. "Hey immature is better than drugged up parents. And we're just goofing around. Nothing else to do in this place." She sighed dramatically.
~~~
Bianca smiled and closed her eyes, resting her ear against his chest so she could hear his heartbeat. "Thanks for having your ringer on." She giggled. "I probably wouldn't have known you were spying on me if your phone was on silent."
~~~
"Oh dear." She said. The shuffling of sheets could be heard on her end. "Yes I'd like to speak with her if she's okay to speak." She said.
"If it's not to much trouble." Ajax said with a cute smile. "Or we could just use one of our laptops." She suggested with a shrug. Her doctor then came in, checking her chart. "Hello again ajax. You're looking well." He smiled."Just tired." She giggled.
~~~
Bianca laughed lightly and then bit her lip. "I don't know I called you. I just...I just did." She sighed. "The note you left with the flowers were different from the others." She said. "And I honestly hated ignoring you. But I couldn't get myself to talk to you." She admitted.
~~~
Ana nodded and sat up a little and took the phone from him. "Hey mom." She said hoarsely then cleared her throat. "Yeah it just started hurting. I couldn't stand up on it." She said. "It's also inflamed a little and red." She paused, listening. "If you want. I wouldn't say it's an emergency so come by in the morning okay? Yes I'm sure. I love you to. I will. Bye." She hung up with a heavy sign
"Probably but I'm just going to check on your stitches okay?" He told Ajax.Ajax nodded and rolled onto her back and propped her knees up for him. He quickly checked her then covered her back up. "I'll write you a prescription for some pain meds and some cream to use on the area. I also want you to come in immediately if you're feeling any odd pain or if Asher is breathing weirdly." He said. "You can head on home." He smiled.
~~~
Bianca closed her eyes when he kissed her forehead, letting his words sink in. "If you think I didn't deserve you then why did you try so hard to get me back?" She asked softly.
~~
Ana smiled a little at the realization. "My mom at least." She murmured. "Are you okay with that?" She asked softly. "She's really nice."
"Thank you doctor; for everything." Ajax smiled and he nodded. "You can pick up the meds on your way out and I'll have a nurse bring you a wheel chair." He said, then unhooked Ajax from the machines. Ajax giggled at Scott's words. "Did you want to put her outfit on?" She smiled.~~~
Bianca looked up into his eyes and she felt her heard clench. Despite what happened, she really did love him. "I don't deserve anyone but you, Cole. You're literally perfect for me." She said.
~~~
"She won't care what you're wearing." She said. "And I love you're pajamas." She kissed his cheek then looked up when Dr. Michaels came in while clearing his throat. He had her X-rays in his hand.
Ajax laughed at his excitement and waved to her doctor when he left. Ajax scooted closer to them and took off Asher's little hat since it belonged to the hospital. Once she was naked except for her diaper, she started to cry.~~~
"I never said your actions weren't perfect." She corrected. "Just you in general are perfect to me. I love you mind and the way you smile and how you can sleep properly unless I'm in your arms." She whispered.
~~~
Dr. Michaels pursed his lips and turned on the X-ray display screen that was on the wall. He hung up the pictures and pointed at the biggest one. "As you can see, the foggy bit here isn't good. It means something is happening that we can't really see with an x Ray. You can also see the bolts, but this one here is blocked by the fog." He said. His tone suggested that it wasn't good. "We also ran your blood sample the nurse took and there are...signs of an infection." He said.
As he dressed up Asher, Ajax collected the small things she had around her bed, like the balloons her mom brought and her phone. "Can I put her in her car seat thing?" She asked. She shuffled out of bed and carefully walked over to the couch and sat down with a sigh.~~~
Bianca smiled and closed her eyes, willingly kissing him back. When they broke apart, but bit her lip. "I love you to." She whispered.
((Skip to the middle of the night? Lol))
~~~
Dr. Michael's sighed and pursed his lips as he looked at the X-ray. "We could replace the bolt yes but I think the damage has already been done." He said sadly. He walked up to Ana's bedside. "Annabelle, the infection is going to spread. It has been since it started to give you more pain. Maybe if we would have caught it sooner a replacement could have helped but at this point...no, I'm afraid. Medication will only slow it."
Ana swallowed hard. "What a-are you saying?" She whispered.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It looks like we're going to have to amputate, Annabelle."
Ana's eyes went wide. "W-what?" She whispered. "No. No!" She covered her mouth and let out a sob.
MAjax smirked and cradled Asher in her arms for a few moments before sitting her in the car seat. "Newborn clothes never fit actual newborns." She said. "But it's still super cute." She said. She carefully buckled Asher up and then grabbed another blanket that was more fluffy and thicker and tucked it around her small form. "There you go little one. All cozy and ready to go home." She smiled. "I'll hold this on my lap while you wheel me out." She said.~~~
((Yeah lol))
Bianca ended up going to bed a little after midnight. It was hard leaving him on the couch but it was something she had to do. She fell asleep easily but woke up restlessly in the middle of the night. She sighed and stared up at the dark ceiling, resting her arm above her head.
~~~
"It's her tissue that's infected." He said. "Yes we can remove the infected area but at this point there's a lot of it and the only way to stop it from spreading or to remove the infected area and what's around it." He explained. "I'm terribly sorry Annabelle." He touched her arm.
Ana flinched and shoved his hand off. "You said those surgeries were so I wouldn't have to get it removed!" She shouted/cried. "You said you saved my leg!"
Ajax smiled and squeezed his hand, nodding excitedly. "I'm very grateful for what we have to raise Asher: supportive parents, great friends, and a little house of our own." She smiled. "Speaking of which, let's get going." She she giggled.~~~
Bianca bit her lip. She looked over at the clock. It was a little past three in the morning. She took a deep breath and kicked off the covers while muttering "fuck it" under her breath. She quietly went down the stairs and froze in the living room entrance. What was she doing? She made her mind clear to him earlier...but yet she found herself hovering in the living room. She padded over to the couch where he lay and slipped her shorts off, kicking them away. She then lowered herself onto the couch, laying down beside him without saying a word.
~~~
Ana closed her eyes and cried. She couldn't help it. Langston's words helped a little but she couldn't get her mind off the fact that she'd be going home today with one less limb. She hated her doctor and hated her brother for driving irresponsibly two years ago. She hated everybody involved in that moment, except for Langston.
"I can schedule the surgery for later today. Probably on the afternoon. We can discuss options afterwards like prosthetics, which you can't wear until your leg had fully healed."
Ana heard him but didn't care. She shut her ears off and pressed her face to Langston's's chest while softly sobbing.
Ana took took his hand and stood up with a grunt. She wobbled a little bit found her balance. She lowered herself into the wheelchair and held her arms up so he could put Asher on her lap.~~~
Bianca tilted her head to the side and sighed softly. She slipped a leg between his and grabbed his face in her hands and moved his lips off her neck, only to press them to hers. She kissed him deeply and slowly, not bothering to hold back. "I need you." She whispered against his lips. "Now." She then kissed him deeply again, pressing her boy to his.
~~~
Dr. Michaels awkwardly nodded. "I'll come back." He said softly, then left the room.
Ana sniffled, wiping her face on his shirt. "I w-want to go home." She whimpered. "Let's go home; please." She cried. She knew that she'd be leaving without a leg and wanted to get the hell out of there. She started to sit up.
Ajax turned the seat around so she could see Asher, who was sleeping again. Ajax smiled and fixed her blanket. "We're going home sweetie." She cooed. "Oh stop by the front desk for my medication." She told him.~~~
Bianca shuddered a little from the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She nodded and touched his cheek. "Yes." She whispered. "Please." She practically begged, staring into his eyes.
~~~
Ana whimpered and collapsed back onto the bed, suddenly feeling tired. She shook her head and sighed deeply, taking a minute to catch her breath. "You don't want to be with a cripple." She whispered harshly.
The receptionist nodded and stood up. "Just a moment please." She said and disappeared behind a shelf. She then came back with a little care package for Ajax along with her medication. "Congratulations." She smiled.
~~~Bianca closed her eyes and kissed him back, her heart racing. She moved onto her back so he could hover above her. She propped her knees up on either side of his hips and allowed herself and him to lose control.
~~|
"God," she sobbed after his speech. "I love you so much Langston." She cried. "Please help me get through this. I don't mean to be but I know I'll be sad for a while after today." She managed to say after her crying died down a little.
Ajax sat the package beside Asher's carrier with a wide smile. She could see a bunch of her favourite candies in it which was probably because of Francis. "I want to sit in the backseat with her." Ajax told Scott as they neared the car.~~~
Bianca tilted her chin up to he ceiling and sighed pleasurably when he kissed her neck. She shook her head and moved her hands into his hair. "Here is fine." She whispered. "I don't want to disturb Amelia." She said, which was sort of a lie. She just wanted him here and now.
~~~
Ana wiped under her eyes and sniffled the snot away from her nose. "Thank you." She whispered. "Just thank you for everything." She murmured against his chest. She moved her face to his neck and kissed him lightly there as a thank you.
"You shouldn't hold my hand." She said. "You should be concentrating on driving with both hands on the wheel." She said firmly, but then smirked. Once he pushed her to the other side of the car, she stood up, holding the package to her chest. "I just want to make sure she's okay while you drive. She's never been in a car before." She shrugged.((Yeah lol to where?))
~~~
Ana forced a small smile and closed her eyes as they pressed their foreheads together. "I'm losing my leg Langston." She whispered, her voice breaking again.
Ajax rolled her eyes. "Oh stop; I'm not sick of you." She giggled. She slid into the backseat and buckled up. She scooted a little closer to Asher and smiled at her. Her car seat was facing the back of the vehicle like most did so she could see her face easily. "Let's go home little one." She cooed.~~~
Brian's was curled up against his chest with her arms tucked between them since the couch wasn't very big. But they managed to do the deed on there and sleep somewhat comfortably. Surprisingly she slept amazingly and was still sleeping peacefully until Cole shook her. Bianca whined and shifted, slowly waking up. Then his words processed in her brain. "What?" She said sleepily. She lifted her head and yawned. "Is it Amelia?"
~~~
Ana closed her eyes and sniffled away the last of the tears that remained. She always felt tired after she cried and all she wanted to do was sleep. "Our house isn't made for wheelchairs." She whispered.
Ajax nodded, keeping one hand on the seat. "Yeah she's sleeping I think." She said. Newborns usually always had their eyes closed to it was hard to tell if she was sleeping or not but she probably was.~~
Bianca sighed with relief when he said it wasn't Amelia. She really didn't want to get up and leave his arms right now. At the mention of the condom, she just yawned again and shook her head. "I'm on the pill." She said. "Always have been just in case you know?" She shrugged. "We're fine I promise. I knew that you didn't use one. Believe me; I could feel it." She giggled and blushed.
~~~
Ana nodded. She wouldn't mind if he carried her everywhere but she also knew she'd want some sort of independence. "I wish I could get up and walk one last time." She whispered.
Ajax giggled and shrugged. "I think we should do it. She'll be listening to our voices if anything. It'd be nice to 'show' her the house." She air-quoted.~~~
Bianca bit her lip and rolled onto her back so she could stretch out her limbs. "I couldn't really sleep." She started. "I almost got out of bed to grab Amelia to cuddle with me which I do sometimes but there was someone else I was aching for." She looked over at him. "Even still it's weird sleeping in my bed without you on the other side. I didn't really know what I was doing but the next thing I knew I was here with you." She told him.
~~~~
Ana thought about it for a moment before nodding. The nurses and doctors probably wouldn't condone it but she didn't care. This would be her last chance to walk on both her legs. She carefully sat up and waited for Langston to get situated.
Ajax unbuckled when he pulled up to the house, ready to walk up to the door herself. When he asked, she nodded that she could but he already decided for her and took Asher inside first. She laughed lightly and waited patiently for him by placing the gift basket in her lap. When he picked her up, she laughed cutely and leaned against his strong and warm chest. Her heart fluttered as they entered the house. It really did feel like home. ~~~
Bianca smiled shyly and nodded. "Yeah, it does." She said softly. "You can sleep with me tonight." She turned back onto her side, facing him, and kissed his lips lightly and sweetly.
~~~
Ana held his hands tightly and placed her feet on the ground. The second the weight was added, she hissed in pain through her teeth and wobbled a little, whimpering. The pain meds helped but it still felt very uncomfortable. "I-I don't know." She said quietly.
Ajax sighed softly when she was placed on the bed. She sat the package aside and took Asher from Scott, nodding. "I'll have orange juice to drink." She said. She cradled Asher in her arms and leaned back against the headboard. "This is mommy and daddy's room, but you will be staying here for a little bit so we can keep an eye on you while you sleep." She said softly. It's a small house but it's perfect for our little family." She rubbed her index finger on Asher's cheek.~~~
Bianca placed a hand on his cheek and kissed him back with a small. She licked her lips when they broke apart. "Let's go get Amelia first." She smiled.
~~~
When the weight was moved, it felt a little better. She nodded and took a deep breath. "It's a little better. I can't do more than shuffle though." She sighed.
Asher made cute little grunting noises which made Ajax giggle. "Yup; you're definitely going to be the death of your father and I." She said. She then laid Asher down beside her on the bed and moved the car seat onto the floor, out of the way.She then cradled Asher in one arm again while she opened up the gift basket.~~~
Bianca sat up, making sure the thin blanket kept her covered. She took her clothes and slipped on her panties and her shirt. She took his hand and stood up while lightly laughing at what he said. She then slipped on her little pair of shorts and laced their fingers together.
~~~
She hesitated a little to follow him forward, but did it eventually. She barely put any weight on her bad leg before she quickly hopped off it and stood on her good leg, keeping her bad one bent off the ground.
Ajax took out a few packs of her favourite candy from the basket, along with a card congratulating her on the baby. It was signed by everyone who was involved in the brain department of the hospital and helped out with her surgeries over the years. There was also a few stuffed toes for Asher and other than that there was a small bag with stuff for Ajax like maxi pads that she would have to use for a few weeks along with some cream and other medical things. When Scott came in, she grinned and pushed the basket aside and cradled Asher with both arms now. "Wow it looks and smells delicious." She said, and her stomach growled in agreement. ~~~
Bianca blushed and giggled and followed Cole upstairs. Amelia was indeed awake, just quietly sitting in her crib. At the sight of Cole and her mother she smiled cutely and tiredly and stood up, holding onto the bars of her crib. She raised her arms above her head and whined cutely.
~~~
Ana followed with another step and that was when she knew she had enough. She didn't want to make her leg any worse by walking on it. "Let's go back." She said softly.
Ajax grinned down at the tray of food and nodded to him, carefully handing Asher to him. "I can't tell if she's awake or not. I'll probably have to feed her soon." She said as she cut up her sausage and took a bite. "Mm. So good." She mumbled around her food and took a few bites of the waffles. ~~~
Amelia rubbed her face into his shoulder, rubbing the sleep away. She chewed on her fist and mumbled something incoherent. But it sounded like waffles.
Bianca giggled and smoothed back her hair. "Normal kind of the cinnamon toast ones?" She asked.
"Cimmon." She said cutely.
~~~
Ana sighed softly and winced a little when he laid her back down. She snuggled under the covers and nodded, looking at him. "Of course I do. Why?" She asked.
Ajax gave him a playful look when he said that jab at her. She then shrugged and took a bite of her toast. "I don't know." She mumbled around the food. "First time for everything." She smiled.~~~
Amelia giggled and held onto him as they went downstairs. Once in the kitchen Bianca opened the freezer and took out the box of cinnamon toast waffles and popped four of them into the toaster. She then took out a bunch of different fruits from the fridge.
~~~
Ana bit her lip and nodded. "You're the only one who could get me through this." She said. "I'll need you more than I have before this." She said softly
"Yeah:" Ajax smiled. "How about whenever it's Asher's month birthday? So next month on the 17th we can do this again." She suggested with a small smile. "We can also get together and note the changes we see in her." She giggled.~~~
Bianca nodded as she cut up some fruit. "Yes please. Scrambled though. I can't get Amelia to eat any other kind." She said. The waffles then popped so she grabbed two big plates and one small one.
~~~
Ana shrugged. "I mean I'm not right now no." She admitted. "But I know I have to be." She sighed. "It'll take time. It's not up to me when they schedule the surgery. He said it'd be later this afternoon no?"
"You know what I mean." She laughed. She then sat in comfortable silence as she ate a least half her breakfast before speaking again. "Tomorrow is our one year anniversary." She looked over at him with a wide smile. ~~~
Bianca took Amelia off the counter because her mommy brain was screaming danger and put her at the table. She went back to the fruit and put them on a bowl. She then put a waffle on a small plate and cut it up into small pieces for Amelia to eat.
~~~
Ana nodded and closed her eyes and just rested against him. Dr. Michaels then returned quietly with a small smile. "How are you feeling?"
Ana opened her eyes and shrugged. "I'm okay I guess."
Ajax bit her lip and raised her eyebrows. "Oh...you did?" She asked, then frowned. "I...I still have this belly and o hand stitches..." She said sadly and touched her still big belly but it was visibly smaller already. "I don't want to be mean and say no." She said. "Because id love to go.." ~~~
Bianca nodded and made room in the Amelia's plate did the fruit and the eggs. She poured the fruit on top of he pancakes and doused syrup on the waffle pieces. She put the other waffles of two plates for herself and Cole.
~~~
Dr. Michaels nodded and smiled sadly. "I'm afraid so. It's already starting to spread. We need to stop it. I'm going to give you some medication right now to stop the spread of the infection for the time being, and you'll also need to take or after the surgery for at least three months."
Ana just sighed deeply and nodded.
Ajax could tell he was upset the moment the words left from her mouth. Because she still had somewhat of a pregnancy brain, tears gathered in her eyes. "Scott I'm sorry." She whined and started to lightly cry.~~~
Bianca looked over at her calender that was on the fridge. "Groceries." She said. "You can come if you want." She said as she sat down at the table with her plate and handed Amelia hers.
~~~
"I'll let you rest for the time being. I contacted your father after I called your mother. She should be here soon." he said then added the medicine to her IV.
"Did you tell her about the surgery?" Ana asked.
"I did yes." He said.
Ajax cried and wrapped her arms around him. Their one year anniversary was a big deal and she ruined it. "I-I ruined our anniversary." She whined. "We have do stay in this stupid bed instead of going to a nice p-place." She said while she cried.~~~
Amelia giggled and leaned back against Cole as she chewed but sat up straight again to continue eating.
Bianca smiled and nodded. "Grocery shopping it is then."
~~~
Ana nodded slowly. "Thank you." She murmured. She was glad the doctor told her parents because she probably never could. And she didn't want to put that all on Langston either.
Ajax didn't know what Scott was about to kiss her so when he did she was surprised. She sniffled back her gross dripping nose and kissed him back, touching his cheek to keep their kids steady. She closed her eyes and the last few bits of tears rolled down her cheeks. Asher's cries interrupted their embrace.~~~~
Amelia squealed happily and squirmed under Cole's hands as she giggled and ate. "A good amount." Bianca said over Amelia's screeching. "Weekly shopping list." She told him.
~~~
"I've scheduled it for one this afternoon." He said. "And I'd say up to four hours. It's a process." He told him.
Ana furrowed her brows and bit down hard on her lip. That was a long time.
When he pulled away, Ajax wiped at her eyes and settled back against the headboard again. "Maybe. Or she just doesn't like hearing her mama cry." She cooed down at Asher in Scott's arms.~~~
Bianca shrugged. "Sometimes. This month has been pretty random when it comes to groceries because of finals. There's just some small things I need." She said and continued to eat.
"Bewberry." Amelia said, and held when up to Cole in her tiny palm.
~~~
"I'll let you rest for the time being. I'll have a nurse bring you something to eat as well." He said, then left after Ana thanked him.
Ajax forced herself to nod in agreement. She grabbed what remained of her breakfast and ate slowly and small bites. "I'm still sorry." She sighed. Asher slowly stopped crying.
~~~
Bianca laughed lightly at their interaction then caught Cole's smile. She smiled back and finished off what was left on her plate. Amelia giggled and shook her head. "You funny daddy," she said.
Bianca raised her eyebrows and immediately looked at Cole.
~~~
Ana blinked at looked over at him. "Never? What about when you were born?" She asked
Ajax giggled and leaned into his kiss as she ate the rest of her waffles. As she chewed, she looked down at Asher. "We could probably give her her first bath sometime this week." She said with a smile. "Her umbilical cord thing should fall off within a month." ~~~
Bianca grinned at his reaction. Her eyes watered a little, but because she was happy. Amelia did have a dad but he wasn't good at being one. Cole was the perfect father and he didn't even have his own kid. Bianca stood up and walked up to two and hugged Cole from behind, squeezing his shoulders. She kissed the top of his head and smiled.
~~~
Ana frowned and without thinking she took his hand in hers. "I'm so sorry Langston. I'm here for you; you know that right? Just as much as you're here for me, I'm here for you." She smiled. "I love you." She whispered, then kissed his cheek.
Ajax out the empty plate on the ground again and laid down beside him, turning onto her side. "At first she probably won't like it. She'll be cold because we cant completely submerge her under the water until the cord pops off. Sponge baths for now." She told him. ~~~
Bianca smiled wide against Cole's hair then pulled away, moving so she was standing beside him. As much as she loved Amelia calling Cole her father, it wasn't true. She crouched down beside the both of them and touched Amelia's knee. "Ames, you know Cole isn't your real daddy, right?"
Amelia nodded. "I know. But I ant him ta bee." She said cutely.
"I know darling." She squeezed her daughters leg. "But I think you should ask Cole is you're allowed to call him that, don't you think?" She said gently.
Amelia bit her lip and looked up at Cole. "I call you daddy?"
~~~
Ana smiled and was about to kiss his cheek back when a shadow entered the room. Ana's mother walked in quietly wearing a simple pair of jeans and a sweater with a leather jacket. Her hair was strawberry blonde. "Annabelle?" She said softly.
Ajax shrugged. "It's just the rules." She said. "Oh and within the next few days she'll have baby pimples on cheeks and other random places: don't pick at them." She said sternly. During the pregnancy she read a lot of books to pass by the time.~~~
Amelia grinned and turned around on his lap and hugged him tight around the middle. "Thanks." She giggled. Bianca smiled and and kissed the top of Amelia's head as she stood up. "You all done sweetie?"
Amelia nodded. "Let's go get you dressed then." Bianca smiled.
~~~
Taken aback by his height, Ana's mother blinked and smiled a little at Langston. "Langston: it's a pleasure to meet you." Her smile softened. "I'm Katherine." She took his hand and shook it firmly.
Ajax giggled and draped an arm across his stomach just below Asher's feet. Asher spit up on Scott in response. That made Ajax laugh harder. "She agrees with me." She smirked and grabbed a tissue. "Here." ~~~
Bianca held Amelia on her hip and nodded at Cole. "Thanks. We'll be back." She smiled and then went upstairs with Amelia. She helped Amelia change into a cute pair of light wash skinny jeans for tots, a grey and white striped long sleeve shirt and a pair of pink socks. Bianca then brushed Amelia's hair up into a pony tail. "Go wait downstairs with Cole okay? I'll be down soon." She kissed the top of Amelia's head. Amelia nodded and climbed down the stairs one step at a time. "I all done!" She announced as she padded into the kitchen.
~~~
Katherine laughed lightly and nodded. "Likewise. But now is better than not at all. Thank you for being here for her." She smiled and squeezed his arm then moved past time and leaned over to hug Ana. "Hey sweetheart."
"Hey." Ana said softly as she hugged her mother back.
Ajax giggled and shook her head amusingly. She didnt like puking obviously but it was cute when Asher did it. Everything she did was cute. Asher smacked her lips together when Scott wiped her mouth. "Oh hold on a sec." She said and rolled over to face her nightstand. She opened it up and took out a pack of pacifiers. They were clear ones with a small picture of different shaped moustaches on them. She rolled back over and stuck one into Asher's mouth, who sucked on it greedily. "Now she has a moustache." She giggled.~~~
Amelia giggled then pushed her standing stool up to the sink. She climbed on top of it and pushed up her sleeves. "I alp." She said.
~~~
Katherine pulled away and smoothed back Ana's hair. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
Ana sighed and squeezed Langston's hand. "Better, I guess."
Ajax burst into laughter but tried to keep it quiet so she wouldn't startle Asher to much. "Not only did she beat you in the facial hair department but it is also very well groomed." She noted. The design on the pacifier was of a french-mustache. Cal gave it to her as a gift. ~~~
Amelia pouted cutely and whined a little when he said that he was basically already done. She giggled though when he picked her up and flew her around the room like an airplane. She squealed happily and laughed warmly while also shouting: "Wee!"
Bianca reentered the kitchen wearing simple blue jeans and a red and black flannel shirt. Her hair was in two french braids. She smiled at the sight of them and held out her arms. "Airport is ready for the plane to land!"
~~~
Katherine nodded then smiled sadly down at her daughter's bad leg. "Who needs it, right?" She teased in hopes of lightening up the mood. Ana just smiled tightly.
Asher squirmed on his chest when Scott blew air on her face but only blinked when he poked her nose. Ajax sighed and shook her head. "No you can't do that without saying the phrase!" She exclaimed.~~
Bianca wrapped her arms around Amelia and peppered her adorable face with kisses. "And she lands safe and sound!" She laughed and put Amelia on her hip. "Yeah of course." She smiled and nodded. She then went out to the foyer and sat Amelia on the stairs and slipped her little Ugg boots on. She then grabbed her red coat and buttoned it up, then added on a knit hat that looked like a monkey.
~~~
Katherine sighed softly. "We'll need to talk to someone about a prosthetic or two. You'll need one for When you're working and another for just lounging." She said. "Your dad knows how to get a deal."
"No one will want to hire a person with one leg." Ana mumbled.
Ajax giggled and shrugged. "Maybe. We should try to do it all the time so she'll remember it when she's older." She said. Asher made a cute moaning sound and sucked away at the pacifier/~~~
Bianca nodded and slipped her own boots on and her coat. She zipped it up and put on a grey beanie. "Yeah. We're coming back and you're truck should be there when we get back." She teased.
~~~
Katherine raised her eyebrows. "You pay for it? Really?" She questioned. "No; That is way to genuine of you." She shook her head.
Ana sighed, ignoring her mom. She looked over at Langston. "I want to work. You know that." She said.
Ajax laughed and pulled the covers up to her chin. "She's probably thinking that we're super weird and she's not looking forward to being poked in the nose all the time." She said with a grin.~~~
Bianca laughed lightly and picked up Amelia, setting her on her hip. She carried her outside and buckled her up into the backseat. She then got in behind the wheel and started the car.
~~~
Katherine just nodded. She didn't really know what to say.
Ana nodded and sighed softly then looked over at the door when a nurse came in with a tray. Katherine moved the table over Ana's bed for the nurse.
Ajax shook her head. "I don't think you'd roll in her. Your body knows that you have something laying on it. When I lay on your chest you don't roll over and crush me." She shrugged. Asher then spat our her pacifier and smacked her lips together.~~~~
Bianca waited a bit for the car to heat up, checking her phone for the list of stuff she needed.
Amelia nodded then tilted her head to the side. "Like what?" She asked.
~~~~
Ana pushed a button on the side of her bed so she was now more reclined. "Thank you." She nodded at Dana who smiled and left. Ana unwrapped the toasted bagel with butter.
"She wouldn't move." Ajax shook her head. "She hasn't even developed her neck muscles yet." She said. "You know that's why baby's have tummy time so they'll work on strengthening their neck and the ability to role over." She told him.Asher opens her tiny mouth and accepted the pacifier with a cute moan.
~~~
Bianca then pulled out of the driveway, looking backwards as she did. Once she was out of the driveway and driving straight again, she glanced over at Cole. "Maybe." She said sternly but she sounded playful.
~~~
Ana shook her head as she took a bite of her Bagel. "This is plenty; thanks though." She said around her mouthful and smiled a little at him. The nurse brought a bagel, a container of yogurt, a granola bar and a water.
Ajax giggled and nodded. "It'll be so cute. But we shouldn't start it right away. For now we can just cuddle her to pieces." She leaned forward and kissed the side of Asher's head.~~~
Bianca smirked. "Yeah I know; that's the problem," she laughed. Amelia giggled and took her hat off and played with the little ears.
~~~
As if reading his thoughts, Ana put her hand over his that was on her leg. "You must be starving. You go get something to eat. Please? For me?" She pouted cutely.
Ajax nodded. "Yeah that'll be nice. But we'll have to get accustomed to a lot of crying for when she does casually hurt herself by doing everyday mundane things." She shrugged.~~~~
Bianca laughed and shook her head amusingly as she drove, watching the road. "Uh huh." She said then glanced over at him and waggled her brows playfully.
She then pulled into the parking lot of the grocery store, parking near the front.
~~~
Ana nodded. "Yes I'm sure. I'll still be here when you come back I promise." She reached up and cupped his cheek in her hand. "Please; I love you." She whispered.
Ajax laughed and nodded. "Right? Its so cute." She giggled, then sat up. "Pee break." She sighed and scooted to the edge of the bed. She stood up with a grunt and fixed her shirt over her belly and left the room and went into the bathroom.~~~
Bianca got out and locked her car door. She walked beside Cole and smiled at them. Amelia shook her head. "I inside it." She said. Bianca grabbed a cart and waited for Cole to put Amelia in it.
~~~
Ana kissed him back then took a sip of her water. Katherine smiled and shook her head. "No thank you son." She said softly. "Don't take to long." Ana piped in.
Ajax took a little longer to relieve herself for obvious reasons but made it back into the bedroom within ten minutes. She smiled at rhe sight of Scott in bed and their little bundle in her crib at the foot of the bed. She turned off the bedroom light and crawled into bed beside him, resting on her back. "How long do you think we have before she wants our attention?" She whispered.~~~
Amelia giggled and held onto the handle of the cart, her hands between Bianca's. Bianca pushed the cart into the shopping centre and pulled over to the side so she wouldn't be in anyone's way. "Here; I'm leaving you in charge of the list." She said and handed Cole her phone with the list of groceries she intended on getting.
~~~
While he was gone, Ana finished her food and lowered her bed back down. Her and her mom exchanged in small talk but eventually Ana ended up falling asleep.
Ajax nodded and turned into her side to face him. She closed her eyes and kissed him back with a small smile. "Night." She yawned and snuggled up against their mattress. It felt so good for her to be sleeping in their own bed and not a scratchy hospital one. She too tell asleep within minutes.~~~
Bianca smiled genuinely and nodded. "I know. But I like grocery shopping. It gives me an excuse to go out and do something." She said with a shrug, then pushed the cart to the dairy section. There she kept one hand on the cart as she grabbed a carton of milk, then a set of eggs.
~~~
Katherine smiled when Langston came back. He was quick just like he said. She could tell how much he moved her daughter and that reminded her of when her ex-husband used to. "Her father should be here soon." She whispered.
~~~
"What?" Bianca scoffed. "Did you not hear me when I said I never knew you had a mental slinky?" She giggled. She snuggled up to him and sighed softly. "Do you hate me because I'm making you sleep down here?"
~~~~
Ana's mother didn't pick up until the last ring since it was late at night. "Hello?" Her voice was thick with sleep. "Who's this?"
