"Don't keep me in suspense." He grumbles.
I unfold the paper and stare at the name I wanted. "Logan," I whisper. But I'm confused as it is a name I wrote, but the writing is not mine.
"What's wrong? Baby? Don't you like it?" Lennox looks worried.
"Lennox, read the other names in the glass."
He scrunches his brows together and quickly unfolds the papers one at a time. Looking at the second paper he unfolds, he stares at it and then packs up laughing. "Logan." He says, holding out the piece of paper with my handwriting on it.
"Logan Blake," Lennox says his full name and I smile. He continues with a grin, "Son of Lennox and Emma Blake." My heart skips a beat. Emma Blake.
I feel like I want to cry again. My goodness, my hormones are just out of control.
Lennox pulls me into his arms and kisses me on the forehead, then leans down to kiss Logan on the forehead as well.
The morning rolls by slowly and I am so relieved when Logan latches on successfully and drinks his little tummy full. We are given all clear to go home. I cannot wait to get out of the hospital. I feel like I am almost rushing around to try and pack my things up faster when Lennox comes over and gently grabs my shoulders. "My love, breathe. Take a nice slow breath. It is you and me and Logan. No one else matters. Let me pack up everything for you. Sit down there and relax." I smile up at him, his gentle tone, his soft words. He knew exactly what I was stressing about and in one simple moment, he took all of my stress away. I take a deep breath and lean into him. He wraps his arms around me and then guides me to the chair, picking Logan up out of his crib and placing him in my arms. "Relax, sweetheart. I will handle everything."
Once we're prepared, Lennox places the overnight bag on his shoulder and takes Logan from my arms so I can sit in the wheelchair. As Lennox places Logan back in my arms, he affectionately kisses my forehead before gently guiding me through the hospital corridors. We walk past people we know, and Lennox just smiles and nods at them looking proud. He's smiling pushing Logan and me around in front of everyone and he looks proud. The reality of everything begins to really sink in. Lennox is not hiding me anymore. We are engaged and he is happy to show the entire world his new family.
We stand outside the hospital, waiting for our taxi; Lennox ordered a special one that offers a baby seat as well.
While we were waiting, a group of nurses from the cosmetic surgery wing were standing outside having a coffee break. Lennox smiles at them and waves, then pulls me closer into his arms, his lips on mine.
"They can all see us, Lennox."
He laughs a deep rumble from his chest. "Baby, you are mine. I love you and Logan more than the world itself. I honestly do not care who sees and what they think."
I smile and bury my face against his chest, happiness filling my heart.
CHAPTER22
LENNOX
The business plans for my new practice have been coming together perfectly. Over the past month, I have been planning and working towards it. I have decided that I will open the clinic after we return from our honeymoon. For now, the only thing that I'm focusing my energy on is Emma and our little Logan. I want to enjoy as much time with them as I can in these first few months.
I'm learning to live with my amnesia. I understand how lucky I am that it is only a short span of my memory that has been lost, but I have so many new memories made since the accident, and I know how many more are yet to come.
Tonight, Danny is coming over for dinner. I have been messaging him every day and finally, he replied when he found out that he had a new baby brother. He is very excited to meet him, and I can't wait to have my whole family together.
Emma has been resting and she is doing so much better. She is healthy and strong again and she is the most beautiful mother in the world. I can't believe how lucky I am to have someone like her to call my own.
I stand in the kitchen making our dinner, watching her as she sits in the living room with Logan on her lap. She is talking to him and laughing, and my heart is pulling. I want to do the best I can for her and for my son.
I know I was not there as much as I would have liked to be the first time I became a father. but I will do my best now, whenever I have the chance.
This time I want to be everything for them. Emma brings out the best in me. She brings out a side of me that I did not even know I had. I will be the best father and the best partner, the one she deserves.
Danny arrives early, and his eyes light up when he sees Logan in Emma's arms.
"Can I hold him?" He asks Emma.
"Of course, you can, Danny." She smiles.
Throughout most of dinner, Danny does not want to let go of Logan, and I find myself smiling constantly. I watch Danny and Emma sitting on the couch after dinner, talking about Logan and all the things Danny is going to teach him as his older brother.
I walk over to the three of them and sit on the couch next to Danny.
"Thanks for coming over, Danny. I really missed you." I say.
