"That makes two of us," she smiled. "Hey, don't you think the room is too stuffy?"
I turned to the doctors and nurses present. They all understood and left us alone.
"Let me continue feeding her," she said. "Wouldn't want to fall asleep without giving her fill. What kind of mom would that make me?"
"A terrible one?" I raised a brow.
"Perhaps," she said weakly as she fed Chloe.
I watched her feed our daughter until clue was full.
"How do you burp again?" she asked.
"Isn't she too little for that? Her neck structure might…"
"Ben… calm down, Dad," she cut me short as she started her attempts to burp her.
After Chloe made the little sound, she put her down and let out a sigh.
"What do you think of me now?" she asked. "Are mesmerized? Stunned? Surely motherhood hasn't made my beauty to dull."
"You still look as beautiful as ever," I said.
"Remember to tell whatever girl that catches your that. Girls love it when you tell them that," she reminded me. "Oh, I don't think it would work on me. I've heard it so many times that it has become boring."
"Whatever you say ma'am," I sighed.
"Could you hold her? Let me get a few z's," she said. "Motherhood is exhausting."
"It sure is," I said with a smile as I took Chloe.
"Oh, just in case I forget, don't forget to tell her I love her," she reminded me.
"I won't," I said.
The bile in my chest start to build up. My eyes started feeling wetter than usual.
"What else? Please don't hate her for anything, nothing is her fault," she added.
"I'll never hate her," I promised.
"And Ben, I love you, okay?" she said.
"I love you too," I admitted.
"Ah, it pays to be the doctor's wife, they gave me the biggest bed," she said. "How about you and Chloe join me?"
"Sure thing," I iterated.
The bed was indeed big for a hospital one. But Selina had asked to deliver on one big enough for three. I placed Chloe in between us as Selina laid on her side to get a good look at us.
"She's so beautiful," I said.
"Ah, you're already practicing I see," Selina smiled.
I didn't say anything, I leaned towards her and gave her a kiss. It was a short, but a passionate one.
"I kind of want you inside me now," she said, "but it's a mess down there. So let's do it in the morning okay?"
