“A few more at least.”
“Fuck,” Dad groaned.
One of the nurses who was monitoring me while the doctor made notations on his chart about the delivery spoke up from across the room. “Do we have a name to put on his chart?”
“Evan,” Harris answered, his gaze finding mine.
I smiled. “Evan Michael Cutter.”
Mom and Nat let out dreamy sighs. “Oh, I love that,” Nat gushed.
It was hours later before the grandparents left, along with the entire waiting room full of family members. I was so exhausted, my eyes wouldn’t stay open, but I couldn’t turn my brain off long enough to find sleep.
“Come hold me,” I pleaded with Harris, who was camped out in the recliner beside my bed answering all the texts from our friends who hadn’t been able to make it to the hospital or the party earlier that day.
He dropped his phone on the rolling table without hesitation and came to lie on the bed beside me. I pillowed my head on his shoulder and snuggled as deeply into him as I possibly could. “You okay now?” I asked.
He blew out a long breath. “I should be asking you that, sweetness. You’re the one who just gave birth to my behemoth of a son without a single drop of pain relief.”
“You were upset earlier.”
“I hate seeing you in pain,” he grumbled, his hands stroking over my hair. “It’s hard to watch that and feel helpless to do anything but stand there.”
“It was worth it.” I fought back a yawn.
“I don’t know if I want to do this again. Two is enough. We have one of each. Let’s just stop now.”
I smirked against his chest. “We’ll see,” I murmured as I drifted off to sleep.
