[ oh, yeah. ] At least you didn't have to wait very long. [ she nods in the direction of her daughter who, as expected, has finally dropped off to sleep. ] They had me walk down the entire maternity ward and back because my baby might have been ready, but I wasn't.
[ there aren't many opportunities to talk about what it had been like, young and pregnant and bull-headed enough to see her daughter to term. it takes naomi by surprise, how much this means to her, having someone to reminisce with. ] Did you guys pick a name yet?
[ he's a really cute kid. he even frowns like tendo in his sleep. ]
[ she winces. ] You have my sympathies. That sounds awful. [ and she's suddenly very, very grateful that everything went so quickly for her. and for good pain meds. those are a gift from god.
the little bundle in her arms shifts and she smiles down at her son. he really does look a lot like his daddy when he frowns like that. ] Theodore Cole. We'll call him Teddy for short, I think.
[ sorry, ali. you just go enjoy your pain meds, they are A+. ] It was. A little. Longest walk I ever took, but my sister was there and my parents too, in hindsight I'd never seen my father so frazzled. [ she shakes her head at the memory, rolls her eyes a little. ] He kept on telling me to breathe and I was just, Dad. Come on. Not in the delivery room yet.
[ and wow, suddenly she misses home. ]
Teddy sounds cute. [ it's hard not to get all smiley when around a baby. especially when naomi's own baby hasn't been this tiny in years. her voice goes soft, and not without a little hint of awe. ] You guys are going to be awesome parents, Ali. And Teddy's going to have amazing people to look up to.
