The New Beginning (Sequel to Split H.S.)

//Chapter 19//

I immediately took a sip of, hot steamy goodness that I haven't had in forever. I could only drink one cup a day cause I was still breastfeeding, but it's one or none. I was burping Ayla when Anne, Robin and Gemma knocked on the door so Eli went to get it. When Gemma noticed her in my arms, her face lit up. They entered the room with a bunch of bags. "Gemma this is Ayla Anne Gibson" she gushed over her and smiled at her name. She was passed around for awhile, until my parents came over, so they could see her. When she was in my mums arms her face scrunched up and I knew what was coming. Them ppm the cries erupted. My mum tried to quiet her but it wasn't working. She gave her to my dad and Anne smiled when he started talking to her and got her to calm down. "I think it's her nappy" he said and smelled her. "Yeah, definitely her nappy". He said as I stretched my arms out to go change her. I walked over to her changing table we had in the living room. I cleaned her up and threw her nappy away.
I walked her back to her room, and Eli followed me. Eli came up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist. "God it feels weird not having your bump there anymore"I laughed and spun around. "I need to sit a minute, I'm sore". Eli smiled sympathetically. He helped me back to the couch and I thanked him. "Here open your bags"! Anne said setting them next to Eli and I. I handed Eli 2 of them and I had 2 of them. Eli opened his the first one, and they were little onesies, and some outfits for Ayla.

Eli opened his second bag, and pulled out outfits for him. He got a few of those muscle tanks, ripped jeans and some boots. Next was me to open mine from them. I got an outfit from pink.

I opened the other that was labeled from Gemma. There was a note that said not to show anyone else. I peeked in their, and my mouth dropped. "Gemma" I said looking at her, "those are for you and Eli to discuss later". Everyone else looked confused. We both got up and hugged them, they left cause Ayla started crying, so we could have some time with her. I walked into her room and picked her up, "hey baby. What wrong. Why are you crying"? I asked her, once she heard my voice her cries slowly stopped. I sat down in the chair, and opened my shirt so she could eat. Eli came in and sat with me while she did so. Once she let go, I had Eli burp her. Then I laid her back down for another nap. I walked into our room and Eli followed me. I grabbed my bag, and showed Eli what was in there. His mouth dropped. "You should put those on". He said. "I'm too fat for these right now" I said leaning into his chest. He rubbed my lower back, "I want to get rid of this baby fat". I sighed. "You're perfect just the way you are, baby". He said and I shook my head no, and he sighed. He slowly stripped my shirt. "What are you doing"? I asked, but didn't get an answer. Next he took off my leggings, I tried to back away a but he had a grip on my arm. "Eli what are you doing"? I asked again. He turned me around and unclipped my bra, and took my underwear off. Then he reached towards the bag, and pulled out one bra and underwear. He helped me put it on. "You look beautiful Madeline". He said kissing my neck. "Don't ever underestimate your self like that". He said looking at me. I leaned back into his chest, trying to cover up my stomach fat. He handed me my shirt and leggings back, helping me out them back on. "You know I love you right"? He asked me and I nodded.

I heard Ayla start crying, she doesn't sleep for too long, but she takes lots of naps. I walk over into her room, and pick her up. She put her head into my neck and stayed there. "Tired baby girl"? Of course I wouldn't get an answer. I walked downstairs, and handed her to Eli so I could go to the bathroom. It was 7:30 and I didn't want her going to bed too early. Hopefully she will sleep most of the night.
