The next morning, John walked into the hospital room to take Jaycee and Ethan home. He headed up to the maternity floor and walked into Jaycee's room. He smiled when he saw that she was dressed and ready.
"Someone is ready to go home." He said walking over to her.
"I am. I want to take our son home and leave this hospital."
"Well, today is the day." He smiled as the door opened and the doctor came in.
"Well, are you ready to go home?"
"Yes. She's very impatient." John laughed. "Ethan ready to go."
"Yes. I just did my final check. He's ready to go. Here are a list of things you will need to know." He said handing them the discharge papers.
"So we can take him home?"
"Yes, you can take him home." He smiled. "So let's get Jaycee into a wheelchair and you can go to the NICU and get him."
The nurse came in a few minutes later and they headed down to the NICU. John texted Charlie and told her they would be leaving soon and to make sure everything is ready at home.
Charlie woke up to the sound of her phone beeping and shifted in Phil's arms.
"Don't get up. Just let me have you all to myself for a little while." He said groggily.
"Sorry baby. But our nephew will be home shortly. We've got to get moving. I'm sure Gram and Mom will be here soon."
"Alright. For Ethan." He said getting up. They headed to the shower and quickly got dressed.
"Alright. We need to go over to John and Jaycee's and get everything ready. This is a great celebration. I can't wait to spoil him."
"I'm sure your mom and grandma will too."
Jaycee looked at him. "Like you won't spoil him. Your only nephew. You will have him being a mini rock star."
"Well yeah."
"I knew it." She laughed. "Ethan is going to be the most spoiled baby in the world."
"And it will make up for my shitty parents."
"Hey, you've got family. And we will never turn our back on you."
He smiled and kissed her. "I know. Now, let's go get ready to welcome our nephew home." She nodded and they headed over to John and Jaycee's.
John and Jaycee pulled up at the apartments. "Are you ready to take our son in his new home?"
"Yes." She smiled. John got out of the car and opened her door first and helped her out. He then went to the back and got out the baby carrier.
"Well, let's go." He smiled and they headed to the apartment. He knew his family was planning something as he had seen his mom's car. They got to the apartment and he opened the door.
"Surprise." Everyone yelled.
"Oh my god, you guys. This is awesome." Jaycee smiled.
"Well, we wanted to welcome Ethan home in style." Charlie smiled as she walked over and hugged her.
"John, I'll help you with the bags." Phil said walking over. He took some of them from John and they headed to the nursery.
Carol walked over to Jaycee. "My grandson gets cuter every time I see him. He's so precious."
"You come sit down and let Mom have a second with her grandson. I'll get you a plate of something other than hospital food."
"Thanks." Jaycee said as Carol took Ethan and Charlie helped her to the sofa. She got her plate of food and brought it too her.
"Still sore?" Charlie asked as she sat down by her.
"I am. But the doctor said that's normal."
"You'll be as good as new in no time."
"I hope so." She laughed a little bit. As she sat some food.
"Everything in the nursery." John said walking back in. "I see Grammy has the kid." He smiled and turned to Jaycee. "Which means my wife is eating. Now I am too." He grabbed a plate of food and sat down by his wife.
"He really is adorable." Charlie said
"Thanks." Jaycee smiled. "So, since everyone is here. John and I wanted to talk to you guys about Ethan's christening."
"Have you chosen Godparents?"
"Yeah we have. Charlie of course. And Mike."
"What about me?" Phil asked.
"You get to be godfather to the next one." Jaycee replied. "I choose the godmother and John choose the godfather."
"Relax, sis. I understand. Besides, I get to be cool Uncle Phil. Make my nephew into a mini rock star."
"Yeah sure." Jaycee laughed.
"Have you chosen a place?" Carol asked.
"We have. We were thinking about the church down the street. They are very nice. And maybe have a small party at your house." John replied.
"I love the sound of that." Carol said. Jaycee looked over at Charlie who sat there holding Ethan with tears in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Charlie smiled and nodded.
"I just can't believe you'd pick me to be his godmother. I'm honored."
"Who else would I chose?" Jaycee smiled. "You have been my best friend since we were five years old. There is no one I would trust more with Ethan should anything happen to me. You were always my first choice. And I expect the same when you have one."
"Done." Charlie said smiling.
"I think we're going to head out and let you get some rest." Phil said. Jaycee nodded.
"We're going to go too and let you guys rest." Carol said hugging Jaycee and John and kissing Ethan on the head.
Everyone was soon gone and only John and Jaycee were left. "It's weird to know it's you, me and Ethan." Jaycee said to him as they sat there.
"I know but we have to do this. And we will do great. Especially you. Our son is lucky to have a mom like you." She smiled. "It's true. You're the kindest, most patient and caring person I know."
"Aww." She smiled.
"It's true. Who else could put up with me." He smiled and kissed her.
"You're going to be a great dad too."
"Thank you." He smiled. "Now, let's get you to bed. The books say when he's sleeping, you should be too." She nodded and he helped her off the sofa and into the bedroom. He helped her change clothes and get into bed. "Now you rest and when Ethan needs to be fed, I'll bring him to you."
"Okay." She smiled as she laid down.
He leaned down and kissed her. "I love you Jaycee."
"I love you too." She said back. He smiled and walked out to clean up the living room.
After he did, he headed into the nursery to check on Ethan. He smiled when he saw his son sleeping so peacefully. He grabbed the baby monitor and headed to the bedroom to check on Jaycee. He smiled when he saw she was sleeping too. Once he knew they both were okay, he headed to the living room to watch a movie. His family was safe and sound. And that was all he wanted.
