I waited in the car, just staring silently at my beautiful son. I seemed to be doing that a lot these past few days. I just didn't have the confidence to be outgoing or talkative lately. Except when it came to my husband and son because I knew that both of their loves for me were unconditional and that they would never judge me or shun me based on my appearance. But I pulled away from staring at my sleeping son when I heard Cody's footsteps approaching. I undid his buckle in the carseat and carried him onto my shoulder, patting his back softly so that he remained asleep. Cody led the way upstairs and to Landon's room before I placed him inside his crib, the crib he probably won't be using too often in the upcoming weeks because I don't think I can part from him. Cody grabbed my hand and pulled me excitedly to go see the kids. The second he opened the door, it was as if Venice had smelled me from miles away. He charged at me and got on his two hind legs, jumping up and licking and clawing me while doing so. I tried leaning down to hug him in return but he was just to jittery and I had to take a step back and get behind Cody because his claws left quite a few scratches on me.
"Venice, chill out," I told him in a stern voice, which cause him to sit down and look at me with a sad face. I leaned down to pick up Bella and gave her a kiss on the her nose, while Lou rubbed his face against my toes. "I'm sorry Venny, it's just you can't act like that if the baby is around. Plus I'm still injured," I spoke to him as if he even understood me. "I'm happy to see you too though, my boy," I reached out a hand and scratched at the top of his head. "I missed all of you kiddies so much. Can we turn on the baby video monitor so that he stays sleeping and we can go to our room?" Thank goodness for Cody getting bored easily so we got everything in Landon's room set up and finished months before I was even due. If he was a procrastinator, his room would have been bare since we had Landon earlier than expected. Cody ran back upstairs and to Landon's room to turn on the video camera while I picked up Zuko and Lou and had the other two pets follow me up the stairs and into our bedroom.
I put Lou and Zuko at the foot of our bed and I supermanned my body onto my bed, letting out a long, relaxed sigh as my body absorbed the comfortableness of our bed. I have slept in my fair share of hotel rooms all over the world, but never have I felt a bed as comfortable as ours. A few seconds later, Cody started speaking to me so I opened my eyes and pushed myself up with my elbows. He explained to me that he set the big tv monitor for us to check on Landon on the nighttable next to our bed but that if we want to walk around the house, that's what the little, portable monitor is for. I grabbed ahold of it and pressed it to my heart, as it felt weird being without Landon for even a few minutes. Cody helped Bella and Vennysaurus onto our bed before he jumped onto it himself, letting our a similar sigh of relief. "Feels good, huh?" I told him as I shimmied my body closer to his to cuddle. "Now this is how a real cuddle session goes," I told him, Venny by my butt, Zuko on Cody's head, Bella above us on our pillows and Lou purring by our feet. "For our next kid, we're giving birth in the house and hiring a whole staff," I joked. I wasn't tired cause we had a few long naps the past few days, every time that Landon would nap. So all I wanted to do was talk to my husband. My social skills hadn't been very high up there in the past week. I wouldn't say more than a few words to my family, the nurses and my doctor, mostly just answering their questions. I could feel them staring at my ugly stomach when they were trying to talk to me, probably wondering why I still looked pregnant. It dissuaded me from wanting to talk to people. "We should give Kyle some money for taking care of the pets all week, baby," I told Cody, leaning my head into his chest. I wanted to ask him when slash if he was going to invite his friends over to meet Landon but I was scared to know the answer. I didn't want them to see me looking like this, especially his female friends.
My eyes opened wide when Demi yelled at Venny because Demi had never done that before to him. She always gave me a talk whenever I scolded him. Demi asked if we could turn on the baby monitor so she could still see him but be with the kiddies. "Yeah, I'll go get it!" I ran up the stairs then quietly slipped into the room. I turned on the monitor and stared down at him, getting lost for a moment. I couldn't help but stare at him, he was a little miracle. I shook my head and headed out to go back to our room. "Alright, so I have the big monitor set up on the bedside table and then this here," I held up the walkie talkie looking monitor, "Is so we can walk around the house and still keep an eye on him." Demi grabbed it from me and held it to her chest as if it was Landon himself. I frowned, ready to put the kids up and go get Landon to put back in her hands. Demi was so terrified that Landon would be taken from her that it broke my heart. I scooped Belly up onto the bed and Venny jumped up so just his front half was on the bed then whined at me to help him up. "You are so pathetic," I laughed as I picked him up the rest of the way. I finally got to lay in our bed and I let out a sigh. My back had started to bother me from the hospital bed and the cramped quarters and this felt like Heaven. I moaned in response to Demi's question as she cuddled closer to my body. I felt Zuko burrowing into my hair and I smiled as I turned towards Demi.
I nodded, "I know, I have that covered, baby. I'll write him a check and drop it off in a few days. He knows we're good for it." Demi cuddled into my chest and I wrapped my arms tightly around her. "How're you feeling, baby?" I pushed her hair out of her face so I could see her eyes. "Anything hurting?" She waved off any aches or pains she had. I gently rubbed her back, "I don't think I've told you this, baby, but you did an incredible job delivering him. You were so strong." I kissed her forehead then her lips. "I think we should just lay here for the next week. I'm not sure I'll be able to get up to do anything," I joked. "I have my iPhone so we can order online somewhere then it'll be like when I was a kid. 'Mommm someone's at the dooooor.'" I grinned when Demi giggled softly. Bella stretched herself out and pawed my forehead and I reached out and pet her head. She and Venice were both still wide awake, probably making sure we didn't leave again. "Yeah, baby Belly, mommy and daddy are home. You don't have to worry about that anymore." Demi was being so quiet and I wondered if she'd fallen asleep but she was looking at the monitor that laid between us, "Baby, do you want to go get him? The kids have calmed down so maybe we can introduce them one at a time."
"Venice, chill out," I told him in a stern voice, which cause him to sit down and look at me with a sad face. I leaned down to pick up Bella and gave her a kiss on the her nose, while Lou rubbed his face against my toes. "I'm sorry Venny, it's just you can't act like that if the baby is around.
