Chapter Twenty-Six.
Four days later...
Zane was tossing his head side to side as he looked around, even though he couldn't really see anything but a few inches away. Lillian thought it was cute of him as she changed his diaper and strapped his onesies back together.
Today was the day they both get to go home. Lillian was well enough to go home now, but had to rest a lot. And Zane quickly added that pound and half in those fours day, making it enough for him to go home.
He started fussing and crying a little. She chuckled as she picked him up and cradling him, "Aw, it's alright.", she said, swaying back and forth. "It's okay, Zane. You'll get over it soon, shhh."
Just like she said, he stopped cry and decided he wanted to sleep. She chuckled and brought him up to her face, swaying as she whispered to him that she loves him and will forever. She kissed his cheek right when Ryan came back in, "Ready to go home?", he asked and she smiled as she nodded.
A wheelchair was brought in for her and she sat down as they went downstairs. When they got to the entrance, Ryan went outside and got the car. She was playing with Zane, her finger in his hand and she waved them back and forth, making little 'whooshing' sounds.
Ryan's car pulled up and she was wheeled out to the car. Ryan got out and took Zane so Lillian could get up. She had to walk slowly since she was still in pain a little from the surgery and she got in the back. Ryan handed her Zane and she placed him into the car seat, strapping him safe and sound into the car seat.
When he was all set up, she waved by the nurses before Ryan drove away. She turned to Zane who was just look straight forward at nothing but she guessed he must have like the sound of the car driving and movement. She felt just a mother hawk since she couldn't seem to take her eyes off him.
When they got to his house, Lillian undid Zane's seat belt and took him out. She handed him to Ryan as she got out of the car and took Zane right back as they walked towards up to the house. Ryan opened the door form them and Lillian went in, "We're home.", she said and Meredith got up quickly and walked over to her.
"Oh there's my grandson.", she said and Lillian handed Zane to Meredith. "We just couldn't wait to get you home.", she said as they walked over back to the coach, sitting down next to Chris. "Doesn't he just look like Ryan when he was a baby?".
"Yeah, he does.", Ryan's dad said. "Have his grandpa looks though.", he grinned and Ryan rolled his eyes.
"Well you to could pass as twins right now.", Ryan said as him and Lillian walked over to the love seat and Chris scowled at him and Ryan grinned back.
"I'm still handsome for my age.", he said. "But hey, remember, this is what your future looks like.", he said.
"Oh, which reminds me, I have to get a picture of that.", Meredith said. "Ryan and Chris, go over and hold him.", she said and they all looked at her confused. "It'll be cute, three generations.".
"I'm not that old, dear. Even, we're missing dad and he and ma wont be down until next week.", Chris scuffed and she glared him.
"Now.", she said and he sighed, getting up. Lillian giggled as she got up from the coach and Chris held Zane as Meredith grabbed and set up the camera. "Smile, dear.", she said to Chris and Chris put on a smile, making Lillian burst into laughter, which hurt a little and she held her side, taking deep breaths.
"I'm fine.", Lillian said. "Go on, take them. I want copies.". Meredith snapped a few picture of different poses and when she told Lillian to get over there, Lillian shook her head, "No, no, I spent the last three days having my mom snap dozens of picture already and I'm sure in most of them, I look bad. I don't need anymore.".
"You look cute.", she said and Lillian looked down at herself. She was dressed pretty much in the same thing she was in when she went to the hospital. "Go, now.", she said and gave Lillian a look. Lillian walked over and thought to herself, I can't left my butt on the arm, she said about the arm chair.
Ryan patted his legs and Lillian blushed as she sat on Ryan's leg and wrapped her arm around his neck. She smiled for the camera and Meredith went on snapping picture. One a few more of just with Meredith, Lillian, and Zane, Lillian was getting to tried and she just wanted to sleep.
She took her son and with Ryan behind her, they went up stairs-kind of slowly since it was a real big pain going up something. Once they got upstairs and into the room, Lillian showed Zane around, even though she knows he doesn't give a crap about but wanting to get to sleep.
She sat down on the bed and rocked him as he slept.
"Here, we should put him in the crib and-".
"I don't want to.", she said. "Let him lay in between us.".
"We're both tired.", he said. "I spent those last couple days in a rocking chairs and you need more sleep. We would crush him.".
She frowned, but nodded. She couldn't help it, she wanted her son to be next to her at all times. She was wondering what she was worried about all this time; she thought she wouldn't be a fit mother and get distracted a lot when all she wanted to do was focus on Zane.
She kissed Zane's cheek before handing him to Ryan. She took her pain medication and went under the covers and Ryan soon joined her. She turned on her side and laid her head on his chest, smiling up at him. His eyebrows came together and he smiled as he looked down at her, "What?".
She chuckled, "Oh nothing, just really happy.".

One week later...
Lillian rocked back and forth in the rocking chair, Zane asleep on her chest. She was patting his butt, which seems to help him sleep and stay asleep but she had to do it for a few more minutes after his eyes closed just to make sure he is asleep and not just having his eyes closed.
She placed her cheek on his head and smiled, loving this little boy so much. He didn't spend so much time awake and when he was awake, he wasn't much of a crier unless he was hungry or gassy. She hopes he stays like that when he gets older.
She woke up three or four times a night but she didn't spend much time sleeping at night anyways. She mostly had five hours asleep and when Zane would take his naps, so would she. She thought she would be waking up every five second at night waking up to feed or just to rock him, thinking everything would go to hell, but it was fine. Everything was okay.
Ryan came in, looking exhausted as he fell into the bed, "Putting dry wall up harder then I thought.".
"Tough day I see.", she said. "You know you don't have to do that extra work, Ryan.".
"We need money.", he said as he got up from the bed and walked over to her. "I don't want to talk about it. How was my little boy today?", he asked as he took him from her and cradled him.
"Okay.", she said, rubbing her hand against her chest. "Spit up only once on me today.".
He chuckled and swayed Zane.
Lillian smiled and got up, "It's time for a bath anyways."
~
Lillian was in the tub with Zane and she was rubbing the cloths against his stomach and he seem to enjoy the water. She chuckled and dipped the wash cloths back into the water, then squeezing it over his head and he seem to be amused. At least he wasn't ever going to be one of those crying babies and kids who refuse to gets baths. Well, she isn't so sure about when he's a kid if he has Ryan genes cause he has a hard time getting into a shower without his mom telling him.
She giggled and placed his lower body into the soapy water and he did his kicks. She kissed his forehead and just wanted to squeeze him for being so cute, but hugged him real lightly.
There was a knock at the door, "It's me, I'm coming in.", Ryan said and when he did, Lillian eyes widen and she covered her chest with the cloth.
"What are you doing?", she asked, staring at the video camera.
"I have an idea, my dad video recorded everything of me and my brothers childhood from baths, holidays, diaper changes, first steps, feeding, you name it, he recorded it. I want to do the same with my son.", he said walking over to the toilet, sitting down on it and had the camera on them.
"Wait, those stacks of video tapes in the box in the basement is all of you and your brothers childhood?", she asked.
"Yeah, he stopped around we started hitting our teen years but sometimes we grab some and watch them. Help to keep the memories.", he said. "Now smile for the camera.".
She chuckled and pushed the camera away, "Get that away from me. And warning before I'm laying somewhere naked would be nice.".
He pointed the camera on Zane who was just sitting there on Lillian's lap and looked relax or bored. "I can't wait till he's older and could cause a mess. Those are going to be the fun ones.".
"The ones you mean I'm going to have to clean after.", she said. "But yeah, I can't wait either. Those are going to be the real fun times. And I want to see those video tapes when I get out.", she said. "Pictures were nice, but I want to see how devilish you were as your mom says you were.".
"Sure, but not the embarrassing ones.", he said.
She chuckled more, "Oh, you know I have to see those and I will.".
"Oh, how much you love me. Give me a kiss.", he said, leaning towards her and her nose scrunched up.
"No! You sink like sweat and something I don't even know!", she said, leaning herself as far away from him as possible.
"Kiss me or I'll have to get in there with you!", he teased and she groaned, quickly leaning over and pecked him. She made a yuck face how his mouth tasted like salt from him sweating. She didn't realize he filmed the kiss and pushed him back as he chuckled.
He left the to finish bathing and when they were done, she was wrapped up in a towel as she was dressing Zane and he was filming. "I hope you wont do that ever single time he gets a bath.", she said.
"Of course not.", he said.
Zane start fussing and soon crying. They both chuckled and Lillian picked him up, placing her against his shoulder and bounced him, "Oh it's okay, mommy here.", she said, rubbing his back. "Shhh, it's okay. Shhh.", she said and kept doing it until he calmed down his crying down and she placed him in a cradle possession
"So what does mommy want for her birthday?", he asked.
She smiled, "My birthday isn't for another month.", she said.
"Well I want to know ahead of time so I can make sure I can get it.", he said. "It could be anything. A new phone, jewelry, makeup.".
"You know I don't care about that stuff.", she said.
"Well you have to get something on your birthday from me.", he said.
"Don't worry about, Ryan. I would feel bad then about not being able to get you anything since I don't have any money.", she said.
"You gave me Zane, he was a lot already. A lot of work to make.", he said. "We could go out see a movie and a dinner.".
"I'll like that.", she said, smiling. "Now take him and get out of here while I get dress.".
"You can get dress in front of me, Lil.", he said, chuckling. "I have seen everything already.".
"My stomach looks horrible.", she said, frowning. "When I'm much more healed, I'll start walking.".
"Your stomach looks fine.", he said. "At least it's not like my cousin Janice, she had stretch marks all over her tummy and their the noticeable ones and her stomach look like a bag of pudding.".
"I have stretch marks.", she said in a 'duh' way.
"Yeah, on your sides and they're barley noticeable. You were in great health the whole pregnancies and our moms made sure you ate well. It's only been two weeks, you're stomach will look fine.".
"It's not wrong to feel this way, Ryan.", she said. "I had a C-section and I'll have to live with the scar.".
"I have a scar.", he shrugged.
She scuffed and rolled her eyes, "On your leg and only an inch long. Barley see it with all that leg hair.".
He chuckled and brought one of his left leg up, "I could use a leg waxing for sure.".
She glared at him, but couldn't help but breaking out into chuckles. She stopped when it began to hurt chuckling a little and decided to just get dress. She gave him Zane and he played with him as she got up and put on her underwear and sports bra. She made sure he scar was dry before getting dressed into some cloths.
She sat back down on the bed and played with Zane with Ryan.
