CHAPTER 9 . HANNAH

I wake slowly and am momentarily fuzzy about where I am. Then it hits me. The baby and the hospital. I reach out instinctively for Diel and find him snoring next to me. I smile down on his peaceful visage and move a lock of hair that has fallen across his eyes. He stirs.

“I didn’t mean to wake you,” I whisper, hoping he will go back to sleep.

“No worries, babe. I wanted to get up when you got up so we could get out of here.” He runs a hand through his hair, disheveling it more than normal. “How are you feeling? Any contractions?”

“No. I feel great, except that your son is kicking me in front and back. I don’t know how that is possible but he is. He must be doing gymnastics in there.”

“Not my son. He’s playing rugby or doing push-ups.” He looks horrified at the thought of his son doing something like gymnastics. It makes me laugh and he scowls even more.

He gets up and kisses me on the forehead. The doctor walks in.

“Ahh, you’re up. Excellent, let me examine you one more time and then I will sign the release orders,” Dr. Hildebrand says.

“Awesomesauce,” I tell him and he gives me a funny look, shakes his head and starts the exam.

“Hannah, you are still three centimeters dilated so that is good and bad. The contractions have stopped and you haven’t dilated any more. But you are susceptible to infection so I will be looking for that. I don’t want to start you on antibiotics yet. No baths and no sex,” he says giving Diel a stern look.

“Don’t look at me. I had nothing to do with this,” he says pointing at my belly. “It was all her.” I smack him.

“Thank you, Hannah. I thought I was going to have to hit a Duke,” Dr. Hildebrand says. Diel roars with laughter. I can tell he is more relaxed and carefree knowing everything is okay for the moment.

“I’ll go sign those papers. You can get dressed. A nurse will be in shortly to go over everything with you. You have my number if anything happens.”

Diel helps me get dressed in a long, grey, stretchy skirt and a dark-blue wool maternity sweater. I slip my swollen feet into a pair of mules and am ready to go. Aidan, upon Lily’s insistence, had sent fresh clothes over last night. I will have to thank them both. I’ll feel really good after a shower, but clean clothes are almost as good.

The nurse comes in and goes over my discharge instructions and gets my signature on a million forms. Then we are free.

“Should we call ahead or just surprise them,” Diel asks.

“Surprise them.”

“Excellent,” Diel says, smiling.

Our drive back to the house is uneventful. I take in the beautiful landscaping with wonder. Maybe we should buy this house so we have a permanent place in Hell. We’ll have to come often to see the pediatrician and to let the baby have a firm grasp on his legacy as a Duke.
