"This shit is so crazy," he shook his head as our son rested on top of me.
"It really is," I giggled a little, my voice raspy due to all of the screaming I was doing a few hours ago. I was also exhausted, but I was willing to remain awake so that I could see my baby off when the nurse would come and get him for a bath and for tests.

I had already taken my opportunity in breastfeeding, and now, D and I were sitting ducks. That was until Lesane and Ashley came in.

"Yo, what's up?" Lesane greeted, not as loud as usual because he probably knew that I was tired.
"Hey, guys," I smiled, watching both him and Ashley come in with stuffed animals.

Lesane immediately came to my bedside, smiling broadly as he commenced brief baby talk to my son. "Hey, little man. Welcome to the world."
"He's so cute, Renée. Look at his little rolls," Ashley gushed.
"Thanks," I smiled before the nurse came in.

I kissed him and told him goodbye before handing him over to the nurse. Once she left, I sighed deeply and let my eyes close. I felt my left hand being taken into another and smiled because I knew it was Lesane.

"Can you believe it?" he asked softly.
"Nope," I squeezed his hand a little.
"I wish I could've been in here," he admitted. "They wouldn't let me in."

"Well, you're here now. That's all that matters," I smiled timidly.
He pecked my lips softly. "Nooo, my lips are chapped," I softly whined while trying to push his face away.
"That never stopped me before," he chuckled.
"You sayin' my lips are chapped, on a regular?" I smirked.
"Yeah," he replied.

I laughed. "Whatever, Lesane."
"You know I'm just playin'," he kissed my cheek.

I opened my eyes again, staring up at him as he ran his hand over my short hair.

"You did it, Sunny. . . I'm so proud of you," Lesane smiled and started kissing me all over my face.
My face scrunched up a little bit as I struggled to hold back my giggles. Eventually, he stopped, smiling down at me for a few seconds before holding up the stuffed animal he brought in.

It was just a bear, but it was really soft and cute. "I figured that me and Ashley could be the ones to buy little Stephen his first bears," he said.
"Thanks, L," I smiled slightly before looking over at Ashley, who was awkwardly sitting next to D.

"Thanks, Ashley," I added.
"No problem," she instantly smiled while handing me the other bear.

I could feel DeAndre's eyes stuck to me like glue, but I ignored his glare. Shortly afterwards, I sensed building tension in the room, which started to make me feel as awkward as Ashley looked.

I realized that him and Lesane were staring each other down, a mean mug on D's face while hostility only presented itself in Lesane's eyes.

The silence only made me more uncomfortable, but thankfully, I had a couple of guests come through the door to change that.

My face lit up at the sight of them as I attempted to sit up. "Yo, slow down," Lesane smirked while pushing me back gently so that my back remained against the bed. With that, he used the little remote for the bed to help me sit up a little.

His caution didn't dampen my mood though. It only made me more excited to receive hugs and kisses from two of my favorite people.

"Stephen! Sheila!" I shrieked with open arms as they approached my bed.
"Hey, Nay," Stephen smiled broadly as I pulled him into a long and tight hug.
