Here's the next chapter, Nords!

--

We were now at home and I couldn't be happier. I was ready to be able to be home and just relax without having a nurse or doctor constantly walking in and making sure that we were doing okay. It started getting more and more irritating the longer I was in there.

Flanery had been a huge help even though Norman was around for the week and Mingus was staying the summer. But I didn't mind it was kind of funny watching three boys fight over Brynlee especially since two of them were grown men who acted like kids.

When I woke up that morning it was quiet, a little too quiet. I was used to waking up at least once or twice to feed Brynlee and then I was up around seven doing it again. I slid on my glasses and looked at my phone. It was 10:30 in the morning. I quickly sat up in bed.

I threw the covers back and instantly went to Brynlee's crib finding that she wasn't in there. I opened the bedroom door and walked into the hallway. It was quiet. I couldn't hear Mingus, Flanery, or Norman. I let out a sigh of relief when I walked into the living room.

Norman was lying on his couch still in a gray shirt and plaid pajama pants. Brynlee was curled up on his chest in an onesie fast asleep. Norman's hand was resting lightly on her back as his other rested behind his head as a pillow. I slowly walked up beside him and let my hand ghost lightly over his hair.

Norman opened one eye before giving me a small smile. "Morning Beautiful," he said softly trying not to wake Brynlee. I bent down and kissed him quickly before placing a light kiss on Brynlee's forehead causing her to stir a little before sighing and going back to sleep.

She was only four days old but she was so perfect. I could tell everyone that had seen her had already fallen in love with her. I sat at Norman's feet and sighed as I leaned against the back of the couch. "Where's Flanery and Mingus?" I asked now confused.

Norman sat up slowly clutching Brynlee to his chest making sure not to drop her. "Him and Mingus decided that we could use some time together with Brynlee and decided to go look around and see the sites from Walking Dead filming since neither of them have been down here," he said.

I nodded and watched as Norman laid Brynlee gently between us on the couch. She stretched out as much as her tiny body would allow. I chuckled when I saw the onesie she was wearing. I knew someone got it for her because I knew what outfits I packed for her.

"Who got her that?" I asked eyeing the onesie that had 'Little Ass Kicker' across it. Norman smiled at me. "Flanery," we both said at the same time. "You should've woke me up," I said while rubbing my hand gently across Brynlee's stomach. Her tiny hand came down and settled on mine causing me to smile.

"You needed rest," Norman said. I shook my head. "I don't want to miss anything," I said quietly while picking Brynlee up and positioning her gently against me. Norman smiled and scooted closer letting his hand rest lightly on my knee.

"I understand but you also need to let your body rest and recover before you want to be too active again," he said. I looked up at him. "Yes doctor," Norman's eyes connected with mine and I could see him trying not to break into a smile. He groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Don't do that you're not healed yet," he said his voice trailing off. I chuckled catching on to what he was saying. Around the seventh month of my pregnancy Norman and I had stopped being intimate. Not because I wanted to but because he wanted too.

The more Brynlee moved around in my stomach the more it freaked him out to have sex because he thought Brynlee would be able to feel it all. Dr. Smith had told us that was perfectly normal for Norman to feel like that because most guys did around that point.

I stood up slowly with Brynlee still in my arms. "I'm gonna go put her in her crib and then I'm going to take a shower. Did Flanery say when they were going to be back?" I asked. He shook his head. "No, he didn't and you know I'm perfectly capable of watching her," he said.

I chuckled. "Babe, I know, but you need a break too," I said with a small smile. Norman sighed but shook his head as he stood up and followed me towards the bedroom. I sat Brynlee gently in her crib and pulled a blanket up over her tiny body and let it drop lightly.

After a quick shower I found Norman lying on the bed facing the bathroom door with a small smile on his face. "What?" I asked as I walked out in just my towel and went to find some clothes. Norman followed me with his eyes as I walked over to our dresser.

Norman got off the bed and went to head for the bathroom before stopping and turning around to face me. "What?" I asked tightening the towel around me suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable. I felt even more insecure about myself now that I had baby weight left over from Brynlee.

Norman shook his head and gave me a small smile. "Nothing just admiring you," he said softly before heading into the bathroom, stripping his clothes and jumping in the shower. I felt myself standing there staring at the spot that he was just standing in.

I felt a smile come across my face as I turned around and dug for some clothes to wear. I quickly changed and by the time I was done Norman was already out of the shower and drying himself off as I laid on the bed enjoying the small silence besides Norman soft footsteps.

The bed sunk beside me and I rolled on my side to see Norman now lying beside me. His hair was wet and he only had a pair of sweatpants on. Apparently he wasn't planning on going anywhere. I reached out and ran my hand lightly down his chest causing goosebumps to rise.

"What do I gotta do?" he asked. "Huh?" I was still smiling. "To make up for it," he said quietly. He knew he had embarrassed me and made me flustered when he was watching me before he got in the shower. I bit my lip. "Oh...well," I looked past him and I could feel the slightly evil glint in my eye. When I looked back Norman was in front of me making me slightly nervous.

"W-what ya got in...mind?" I asked looking into his eyes. Norman put his hand on the nape of my neck and leaned towards me. Putting my hand on his shoulder, I welcomed him closer, still looking into his eyes. Then a noise made us freeze halfway.

The sound of a car driving up the driveway. I sighed and looked up at him. Norman let out a huffed chuckle, and hung his head for a moment. Looking back up at me, he brushed his thumb across my bottom lip, then stood, grabbed a shirt and left the bedroom.

I sat there for a moment. I could still feel his hand on my neck, the heat off his body from how close he was, and his warm minty breath dancing lightly across my face. Hearing voices, I stood up and walked out of the bedroom to see who was at the door.

It was Flanery and Mingus and they had a couple bags in their hands. "What is that?" I asked pointing to the bags. Flanery held his up slightly. "We figured the new parents could use some lunch," he said. Norman wrapped his arm around my waist.

I smiled at Flanery. I liked him already. We walked into the kitchen and Flanery and Mingus dropped the bags on the table. We all sat down and right when my butt hit the seat Brynlee's soft cries echoed from our bedroom. I sighed and went to push myself out of the seat when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I looked up to see it was Mingus. "It's okay, I got her," I was a little skeptical at first. It wasn't that I didn't want Mingus helping, I was just a little nervous about him getting her out of the crib but I guess he needed to do it eventually. I sighed and sat back in my seat.

"Just be careful, ok Boom," Norman said and Mingus nodded before heading back to our bedroom to get Brynlee. He came out a few minutes later with Brynlee in his arms as he rocked her gently. I held my hands out for her but Mingus shook his head.

"It's okay, I got her. You go ahead and eat," he said while cuddling her closer. I looked over at Norman who had a smile on his face as he watched Mingus. I looked over at Flanery who was doing the same. Flanery slowly looked over at me and winked before tucking into his lunch.

I hope @RandomPersonH2O liked this chapter along with everyone else!!!!!! Don't forget to comment!

Awe the little onesie Flanery got baby Brynlee! Hmm, so Norman is 'admiring' Mandy. Do you think he's trying to keep the romance alive since Mandy thinks he wouldn't be interested in her after she had Brynlee? Look at Mingus being the helpful big brother!
