The Cheating Millionaire

Chapter 9 first if the night feds

SUMMERS POV

"Dad can I have my baby now please, I feel like I've barely had a chance to take in Skylar, yet I've been so exhausted." I say holding her arms out.

"Of course you can honey" my dad says passing me Skylar.

"She is perfection" my mum says smiling at me.

"Can you take a picture of us please? Before I feel to tired to get one of us again." I say.

"I can do that, and then I can get one of you all in the picture afterwards then send it to your phone. Actually I took a few of just Skylar when you were asleep and sent them across to your phone when you were asleep knowing you would want to capture these moments" Sean says

"I didn't hear my phone go off." I say surprised Sean had thought of that.

"I put it on silent, so I didn't wake you up sorry." Sean says with a guilty look on his face.

"That was thoughtful of you" says my dad actually surprised by what Sean just said, and I'm also surprised as well.

Sean then takes out his phone to take a picture of my and Skylar.

He then tells my mum and dad to get in the picture as well before taking a few more.

"Okay I will send them across now." Sean says.

"Oh no you can have one with them as well" says my mum.

"Only if it's okay with Summer" Sean says looking at me.

"Come on" I say as my mum takes his phone to get the pictures.

"Thank you" Sean says taking a seat gently next to me for the photos.

"Okay I've taken a few here's your phone" my mum says handing it to Sean.

"Thank you would you like me to send them to you both as well?" Sean asks.

"Yes please" my dad says.

"Send them to your mum and dad as well" I say

"Okay I will" Sean replies while starting to send them to people.

Skylar starts to cry.

She probably wants a fed my mum says getting a bottle ready for me.

"She Only had just under an ounce last time" I say.

"They take little but often when firstborn so don't worry" my mum says handing me the bottle.

I start to feed Skylar

"While Skylar is having a fed, I'm going to get a coffee does anyone one else want a drink" Sean asks.

"No me and a Kenny will be going soon, but we will wait for you to get back" my mum says.

"How about you Summer would you like a hot drink?" Sean asks.

"A hot chocolate please" I ask.

Sean quickly heads out to get some drinks.

"So how are you really? You can tell dad if Sean did anything wrong" my dad says

"Honestly dad it's been me giving Sean stick since we came back he has surprised me so far stepping up for Skylar as well as surprisingly really looked after me during and after labour. He hasn't slept, eaten or had a drink since lunchtime as labour started, but I thought it was Braxton hicks." I say.

"Okay well so long as he continues to keep his act together I will be polite with him" my dad says.

"So you decided on Skylar in the end?" my mum says.

"Yes I liked it more but once I saw her cute little face I just knew she was a Skylar" I say.

"It's a lovely name" my dad says

I start to wind Skylar as she seems to of stopped drink the formula.

"Mum am I doing it right?" I ask

"You a natural love, your doing just fine." my mum says.

Sean then walks back in with our drinks.

"Right now Sean is back, your dad and I will make a move to go help finishing preparing for little lady's arrival home" my mum says.

Once my mum and dad had said there goodbyes and left Sean comes sits on the chair next to me.

"Would you like me to take Skylar, so you can drink your hit chocolate?" Sean's asks.

"How about you come sit next to me on the bed while holding Skylar that way I can keep taking in her beauty close up at the same time" I suggest. "As I'm not Ready to stop looking at Skylar but feeling exhausted I'm worried I may fall asleep" I say quickly adding it on before Sean says anything.

SEAN'S POV

I gently sit next to Summer on the bed and take Baby Skylar into my arms, so that Summer can see her.

"I can't believe she is finally here, if it wasn't for the fact my body hurts, and I'm tired I'd think it was a dream" Summer says

"I bet the wait seemed ages to you, I only had a less than a week knowing, yet it seems longer than a week" I say.

"Sorry about that I thought you would have a month to prepare" Summer says whiling taking Skylar hand in her finger.

"It's not your fault it's partly mine, plus you couldn't control Skylar wanting to rush into the world" I say smiling at Summer.

"It did feel like a forever wait" she says.

"You did amazing you told me you couldn't do labour and birth on the way here, but you did amazingly awesome. I'm stars struck by you both right now" I say.

"You helped me through it with supportive words and staying by my side though it surprisingly helped me" Summer says

"Yeah, but you did the hard part, your like superwoman." I say.

"I know, I just can't get over how small Skylar is" Summer says

"Me to." I say.

Summer drinks her hot chocolate down.

"Sean would you mind helping me to the bathroom? I'm a little scared I may fall still" summer ask.

"I don't mind anything you need, I will do" I say placing Skylar back into the baby crib.

I help Summer walk to the bathroom and then wait outside until she calls be back. I then help her back into the bed

"Thank you" summer says.

"You should get some sleep" I say.

"What about you there's no other bed in here, are you not tired also?" Summer asks.

"A little but I will be okay." I say smiling at summer.

I see Summer looking like she is battling her thoughts.

"What's the matter?" I ask.

"Nothing, I just feel bad. You can sleep on here with me there's enough room that way we can both get some rest before Skylar wakes up again" she says

"I don't mind sleeping on the chair." I say.

"No I paid for a private hospital with a private room the bed is big enough just be careful not to knock me I'm still sore and aching" Summer says.

"Okay" I say laying down next to Summer. I see Summer is laid on her side.

"I will lay this side, so I don't knock your stomach okay?" I say.

"That's fine" Summer says

I just lay with my eyes closed, I don't dare sleep, As I don't want to sleep through Skylar crying if she wakes up, and I want to be able to be awake to help Summer when Skylar does wake up. Summer doesn't take long to fall asleep, and I'm not surprised she still looks very worn out. Since Summer left me I've dreamt of the day I could have her laying next to me in bed again. I've missed it so much, I just never thought it would be like this in a hospital with our daughter sleeping in a crib next to the bed, however I felt content and happy it's betters than I could have dreamed of. I know it won't last forever, but I vow to myself to make it happen again. Whatever it takes I will win Summer round and claim my family back by side every night I think to myself.

SUMMERS POV

I woke when I heard Skylar wake up.

"It's okay to take your time I can get Skylar" says Sean.

"Thanks if you pass Skylar over I can try to stop her from crying while you grab the bottle" I say sitting up.

Sean passes Skylar over.

"Hey little princess are you hungry?" I say while laying her across my chest rubbing her back.

Sean walks over with the bottle.

"Would it be okay if I feed Skylar this time please?" Sean asks.

"Yeah of course it is Skylar is both of ours anyway" I say.

"I know that, but you have carried Skylar all this time cared and looked after her, it just feels right to check with you first, otherwise I will feel like I'm stealing her from you" Sean says.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be apart from Skylar, yet I'd be a headless chicken with worry, but so long as I can see Skylar I'm happy to share the responsibility of looking after her with you atm. She is both of ours after all we both have bond with Skylar" I say handing Skylar over, so Sean can feed her.

Sean can't stop smiling while giving Skylar her bottle.

"Would you like me to take a photo for you?" I ask?

"As much as I'd love one, I don't want you getting out of bed if you're not ready to without me to catch you in case you fall" Sean says.

"I feel a little better now after food and little sleep, I think I will be okay a few steps to grab my phone" I say getting slowly up to get my phone.

Once I'm stood up Sean asks "If I'm okay."

"I'm good still feels strange in the belly not having Skylar in my womb any more, I feel empty and weird but otherwise a little sore but good to walk a little" I say smiling.

I can't help but feel touched by how concerned Sean seems for me.

Once I've got my phone I quickly take a few photos and then sit on the bed again to show Sean.

"I like this one best" I say. It's of Sean looking down at Skylar with love and adoration look on his face smiling.

"I like it to" Sean says smiling.

"Okay well I've sent them over to you." I say.

After Sean finished feeding and winding Skylar he let me change her nappy but got everything I needed. I changed her on the bed in front of me.

When she was settled and asleep again we went back to sleep ourselves.

The rest of the night feeds we worked like this both seeing to Skylar working as a team. Sean took some photos of me feeding Skylar as well. It was like a peaceful harmony, I wished could last forever, but I knew I'd be doing most night feeds alone once we are discharged from hospital and reality hits me that I'm a single parent. Not a happily married women and that's the very reason I'm now crying at 7:50am

"Summer what's wrong are you in pain?" Sean asked all worried.

"No I'm not in pain well not physical pain that would cause me to cry" I say through tears.

"Then what's wrong?" Sean asks worried as he takes my hand in his rubbing his thumb against hand.

"It's nothing probably hormones, I don't know why I'm crying" I say not wanting to tell the truth.

Sean then stands up to come sit on the bed and hugs me gently as if I may break while I continue to cry.

SEAN'S POV

I can tell when Summer lies to me, and she only ever lies to me when she is upset over something. So right now I'm hating seeing her cry her heart out, and I want to know what's wrong, so I can fix it for her whatever it is.

When Summer stops crying I'm relieved, I thought it might last forever.

"You know, whatever is upsetting you. You can tell me I will do whatever I can do to help" I say.

"It's just the hormones getting the better off me that's all" Summer says

"Okay well would you like a drink or anything to eat before Skylar is due to wake up again?" I ask.

"Just a tea, I'm sure Simon will be along soon with breakfast" she replies.

"I will be back as quickly as possible" I say making sure there is a bottle on the bed as well as Skylar crib as close as possible just in case she wakes up.

"Okay, there's no need to panic we will be fine" Summer says.

I rush to grab us some drinks so there not left alone for long.

As I approach the room again the door is ajar, and I can hear Skylar talking to a lady…

"How do singles mum manage it, I'm emotional just thinking of the endless lonely night feeds ahead" I hear Summer say

So that's what's made her cry I think to myself.

"Oh there's plenty of single mums doing it all over the world. There's no right or wrong way to cope but your find your own little way. I can tell you they all say the secret is the pure joy there baby's bring them." The women say

"I should have been married now with a perfect little family, but the reality is I'm a single mum praying I don't mess it up" I hear Summer say.

"You won't mess it up, your be just fine, and you can always ring us midwives in the early days then the health visitor and your GP afterwards for advice and support. There's also baby and toddler groups where you can make mum friends as well." The women say.

So she is a midwife I think. At that second I decide its time go back in with the drinks now I know why Summer is upset.

"Hey, I brought back our drinks. I will leave them on the side here" I say placing them on the bedside table.

"Thanks the midwife was just checking in on us seeing if we needed anything" Summer says.

"How do you think they are doing? Will they be allowed home soon" I ask the midwife?

"That will be up to the doctor when she comes round but, I'd says Summer is looking a lot better this morning compared to last night, Plenty of fluids will help though Summer lost a lot of blood during labour, so It's important to drink loads and eat healthy with good some rest" the midwife says.

"Okay anything else?" I ask.

"A good support system, it's hard enough being a first time mum let alone having hormones wild, so a good support group of people will help Summer and Skylar" she says looking at me in a serious manner.

"I will personally be with Summer and Skylar as long as they need day or night no matter what" I say back seriously.

"Okay well I will leave you all to get some more rest before Skylar wakes up again. If you need anything just ask at the nurse's desk" she says leaving the room.

"Thanks" Summer says just as she is about to close the door.
