It was such a surreal moment to see her husband holding their son. With the doctor and nurses out of the room and Raven no longer appearing stressed, her husband was no longer agitated. As their son began to wiggle, Raven slowly moved to assist Tobias but stopped herself midway as he adjusted himself to keep a firm hold on their son. With a small simper, she shifted towards the bedside table to grab her phone and use it to capture this picture-perfect moment. Wincing softly from the pain, she leaned into the back of her bed, assured she didn't need to be so finicky and trust him. After suggesting a possible name, she listened to her companion repeat it while she leaned in to gently stroke her son's forehead. As Tobias shifted to poke his finger at Rhett's hand, she grinned as he grasped firmly around his finger. With a chuckle, she nodded in agreement, softly murmuring.
This particular side of him never addressed her as Raven, it was always Bird. Blue-grey eyes looked to see if a flicker of gold flecks were in his dark eyes, but there wasn't a trace of it. His request to have their son's name written was peculiar. With a nod, she winced slightly to lift herself slightly to reach in the drawer to fish for a notepad and pen. Placing the notepad on the table, she wrote out their son's name, then placed the pen on the table. Picking up the notepad, she turned it over for Tobias to see. His desire for the three of them to go home was sweet, but she answered with a shake of her head.
At this moment, the head nurse would walk in, pushing a pediatric crib into the room. She placed it near Tobias and quickly moved to the other side of Raven's bed, looking at the machines and murmuring gently. Understanding that she wanted them to give her Rhett, Raven looked over towards Tobi, one hand reaching out to gently squeeze his arm reassuringly.
Tilting her head in the direction of the pediatric crib, she let go of his arm so that he could gently place their son into the crib. As the nurse took their son out of the room, another one came in and started to help Raven handle the afterbirth. Eventually, the same nurse would come back with their son wearing a blue jumpsuit with a jack-o-lantern graphic on it, a matching blue hat, and wrapped in a blue and white blanket. Eager to see their son Raven quickly took him out of the crib, holding him against her, happy to have him back. Looking over to her husband, she gestured for him to join her on the bed, just wanting the trio to go back to bonding.
