The pregnant bride went stiff as a board when she spotted the groom’s dad. She never saw that coming…

However, today she was not allowed into the ward because there was another shift and she had to pass the package through the duty nurse’s post. However, Emily was able to go to the window and wave her hand. You could see that her daughter had recovered from yesterday and didn’t look so gloomy anymore.

Most likely that she had realized and accepted the new reality during the previous night. Suddenly she pointed to a nearby window. And Camille realized that her daughter was about to open it.

And in a few minutes, they were able to have a live conversation. Hey, how are you? Hi, mom, I’m fine. And I calmed down.

And Ethan doesn’t get cranky as much. Have you fed him yet? Yeah, of course. Emily shrugged it off.

He’s sleeping now. I won’t disturb him yet. By the way, the shift has changed.

So you won’t see me again until you’re discharged. But we can talk on the phone if you need to. It’s okay, I’ll be fine.

It’s only a couple days. And you know it’s easier for me to say that than to call. Okay, mom, thank you so much for the broth.

I’m so hungry for your cooking. It’s time for me to learn. Time is of the essence.

She smiled and wagged her index finger at her. Who else would it be for? Michael can’t stand the sight of me. I don’t need much.

Emily replied with annoyance in her voice. And then the alarm bell sounded again. Camille tried to grasp its essence, but she failed.

It was as if she had lost her ability to think logically. Everything in her head was jumbled and jumbled like a serialized reel. And she could hardly find the right words.

It’s never too late to learn. When your son grows up, you’ll pass on your knowledge to him. You think he’ll want to learn the basics of cooking.

Why wouldn’t he? Your father could cook. But I didn’t let him because I wanted to take care of him. So that’s why you were angry when he tried to bring you breakfast in bed in the morning.

Emily laughed and wagged her index finger. And not only for that reason shook her mother’s head, but also because she considered such an excessive display of tenderness be. But dad was still trying.

Maybe Ethan was really like him. We had a handsome boy. We were big.

It’s not impossible. Daughter, especially since his mother, God rest her soul, said that he was a big boy when he was a child. That’s the version I’m gonna give Michael.

Emily smiled slyly. Don’t let him say that we didn’t have any heroes in our family. It’s just a pity that it didn’t help dad.

And the disease still twisted him. That’s the thing that healthy people pass away, shook her mother’s head. Are you going to the cottage today? Yes, I should take out the weeds and water the flowers.

We’re not doing anything else. We’ll wait for Michael to come back from his business trip. Do you think he’ll do it? Camille smiled ironically.

Let him get used to it. Emily waved her hand. And I won’t be able to help you yet.

At least he’ll be supportive. Nothing will happen to him. If you go to the cottage after work for a week or two, it’s good for your health and good for the family.

Well, we’ll see. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. But I’m going to see my son.

He’ll wake up soon. Kiss me our Bogater with a smile and loudly said the mother and sent her an air kiss. And everyone who was also socializing under the windows turned sharply in her direction.

From such intense attention, Camille was a little embarrassed, but immediately realized why it happened and that they had no negative assumptions about the appearance of the child. She proudly said that he was born almost four kilograms. That’s why we call him a Bogater.

Congratulations. It came from all directions. And Camille barely fought them off while they shook her hand.

However, she appreciated such a reaction and concluded that there were no large children among the other women in labor. So they were surprised when they heard about the four kilograms, probably imagined a lump with rotten meters. And they were partly right.

After all, Ethan did look well fed with a baby. But on the other hand, it didn’t cause any problems. He didn’t pass on and ate equally with everyone else, behaved calmly, didn’t throw tantrums and gave his mother a chance for a full night’s sleep.

Emily was even lucky to have such a balanced child. And this despite the fact that she was a fiery person. In him closely intertwined genes of both parents and formed a unique image of an individual personality, hair and eye color.

At first, Ethan adopted from his mother, but the external contour face, lips and structure cheekbones from his father, all of which made him a truly beautiful child for whom Emily would have spared nothing. She fully realized her role as a mother and no longer worried about how she would raise her son on an intuitive level. Emily felt fully supported.

But only not yet divided it among themselves and did not analyze from whom it comes more. And only after a while, everything fell into place. The day of her husband’s arrival was approaching and Emily was visibly worried.

She had already been informed about the discharge and prepared the necessary recommendations for the further care of the child. In addition, the day before Michael had sent a message in which she wrote that he would pick her up from the hospital himself. True, there were no bright smiley faces in it.

And it said that her husband wrote this message without much enthusiasm. But at the same time, Emily did not go into details and demand explanations. She wanted with every fiber of her being to return home as soon as possible and finally feel herself in the native element near her loved ones.

A little earlier, half an hour before Michael arrived, her mother arrived. Camille was not allowed into the ward again. And while she was humbly waiting for her daughter, other happy fathers and relatives reached the special exit.

And everyone was languidly waiting to see if they would be allowed to pick up their new moms. The head nurse and Camille came around the corner. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my brother-in-law’s license plate.

He pulled up not far from the entrance. When he got out, he had a modest bouquet of flowers in one hand and a black bag in the other. Apparently, a gentleman’s kit for the medical staff.

Basically, she hadn’t noticed anything strange yet. And it was possible to assume that the son-in-law was really happy to meet his wife from the maternity hospital. But as soon as Michael approached her, he was immediately cold.

I was making money. I’m sure you did. I see you’re not in the mood, Michael summarized.

Well, with your permission, I’ll wait for my wife in silence. Camille made no reply, for just at that moment, Emily appeared at the door. She was carrying the baby in her arms, and she was glowing with happiness.

She was assisted by the same nurse, Evelyn. But Emily seemed to be doing quite well without her. At least, she didn’t fall or stagger.

She had enough strength to move around normally. When Michael saw his wife, he smiled and almost confused who to give what to. Hello, my love.

I’m so glad we’re back together. Now it’s our baby too, and hello, sweetheart. Emily interrupted him and handed him the baby in his arms.

It’s so beautiful, just like you. It’s got yours in it. Don’t worry.

In fact, he’s like two peas in a pod in his parents. Yeah, yeah, I just said the wrong thing. Michael got nervous and even blushed a little.

Camille intervened, noticing the confusion on his son-in-law’s face. Okay, I’ll just be a minute. He quickly handed his son to his mother-in-law.

It was as if the burden was burning his hands, and he could not feel at ease while he was holding his own son in front of him. Another alarm bell rang, but this time Kinmel did not pay any attention to it. Or rather, she didn’t want to think about it on a day like this.

After all, she was welcoming her daughter and grandson from the hospital. All other problems and questions were in the background. And even this situation with the transfer of the child was not an exception.

Meanwhile, Emily also noticed how her husband too quickly agreed to give the child away. He could have been supportive. I could have unlocked the car myself.

Maybe you don’t even trust me with the keys anymore. What are you, my favorite? Of course I do, Michael replied with a tremor in his voice. It just seemed a little tired and not in the right state of mind to be fiddling with keys.

I’m fine. Open up, Emily commanded, and taking the baby from the mother, she said softly, we opened their eyes. We’re learning about the world around us.

Look, he’s trying to see where they took him. Camille said with a smile. Mom, but he can’t see anything yet.

Yes, I know. But it’s still interesting. He’s a great big guy.

It makes your heart swoon to see such beauty. Why do you keep using that word? Michael grumbled unhappily, opening the cabin door in front of them. Yeah, from the fact that he was born big.

Emily cut him off. You’ll see when you’re home drunk. All right, get in.

Let’s go. Emily and the baby and her mother sat in the back seat and put small pillows in their laps. Michael had carried them with him just in case, so he could stop and pick them up on the road.

Look in the rearview mirror. He made sure everything was in order and pulled out of the driveway. The car pulled smoothly out of the maternity hospital grounds and headed toward home…
