Wild at Heart

Part Two - Chapter One: Abigail Casillas Trevanion

Iker Casillas sighed in relief as he heard the screams of his newborn daughter filled the hospital room, he pressed a tender kiss to Mia Trevanion’s lips.

“You did it amor,” Iker breathed brushing some hair away from her face, he knew that he could never have missed this for the world; he had become a father for the first time and nothing could take that from him.

Mia nodded her head exhausted as she leaned back onto the pillows and offered Iker a weak smile as the midwife cleaned off their daughter and did all of the necessary checks.

“Do you have a name?” the midwife asked looking over at the couple as she filled out the birth certificate, she smiled as Iker tenderly looked after his girlfriend of ten months.

Mia nodded her head as she allowed Iker to wipe the sweat from her face, she was exhausted but she couldn’t wait to finally see her daughter; it had been a long nine months.

“Abigail Casillas Trevanion,” Iker said proudly as he barely glanced at the midwife continuing to focus on his girlfriend, he knew that they had decided on the name months ago and had decided to follow Spanish naming customs and give their daughter both of their names.

The midwife nodded her head as she turned back to the newborn, who had quietened down a little since her loud arrival into the world.

“Seven pounds eleven ounces,” the midwife said out loud taking the baby’s weight making Iker grin as he kissed his girlfriend, they had known that their baby was going to be big and Mia had done so well in pushing her out into the world.

Mia sighed in relief glad that she hadn’t had any problems pushing the baby out, she really had wanted to do this as naturally as possible and Iker had been by her side for a week now since he had taken time off to be with her and the baby.

After taking all of the information that was needed, the midwife carefully wrapped the newborn up in a clean hospital blanket and carried her over to her mother and father for the first time.

Mia sniffled as the small bundle was carefully set in her arms and she looked down at her daughter for the first time as Iker sat down carefully onto the hospital bed and smiled to himself.

“She’s perfect,” Iker murmured pressing a kiss to the top of Mia’s head, he couldn’t help but feel so proud and emotional right now.

Abigail had a small tuft of dark brown hair and tiny fingers and toes, her eyes were closed but the couple already knew that they would be blue and would remain that way for a couple of months.

“She is,” Mia agreed emotional trying to resist the urge to cry, she swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat as she stared down at her daughter.

Mia felt Iker wrap an arm around her knowing that all to soon their families would descend on the hospital to meet the new addition; it would limit their alone time with their baby girl.

Mia smiled as she watched her father fuss over his first grandchild, she rested in her hospital bed knowing it would be a few days until she was allowed home.

Iker sat quietly next to his girlfriend as he watched Danny Trevanion fuss over his daughter, the footballer couldn’t help but worry now that his daughter had been born what they would do now.

Iker had struggled a lot with Mia remaining in South Africa while she was pregnant and Skyping had only been able to do so much for him as Mia tried to keep him up to date with everything that was going on.

“When are your parents coming?” Mia asked looking at her boyfriend, she was glad to be out of the hospital gown and was now dressed in her grey nightdress that she had gotten for when she’d had Abigail so she would be comfortable.

Iker rolled his neck as he looked at his girlfriend, he knew his parents would be dying to meet their first grandchild and he hoped that they were still going to be welcoming to Mia.

Carmen Casillas had slowly warmed to her eldest son’s girlfriend over the past few months and Iker was pleased to see an improvement if not for his own sake then for Abigail’s.

“In an hour or two,” Iker murmured taking his girlfriend’s hand and smiled at her, he had a question to ask her but wanted to wait until they had were alone.

“Sorry we are late,” José Luis Casillas said as he stepped into the private hospital room, he was followed eagerly by his wife who quickly looked around for any sign of her new baby granddaughter.

Iker chuckled as he spare a small look at Mia, who had drifted off to sleep as he shifted his hold on Abigail as he bounced her in his arms.

Carmen’s face softened as her eyes landed on the newborn that was in her son’s arms, she rested a hand over her heart as tears filled her eyes.

“Is that her?” José Luis asked smiling at his son, he hadn’t known what to think when Iker had announced that Mia had fallen pregnant and he knew that it was going to be very difficult for his son.

Iker nodded his head as he moved the blanket carefully from her face, she was sound asleep like her mother and Iker hadn’t been able to resist holding her.

“Madre, Padre… this is Abigail,” Iker said softly introducing them to their granddaughter, he grinned as his mother instantly started to coo over the newborn while his father looked at him proudly.

Iker knew it wouldn’t be long before Unai showed up to meet his niece, it was the proudest moment in his life right now.

“Iker, she’s beautiful,” Carmen gushed admiring Abigail knowing that she had never seen a more perfect angel and she knew that the newborn had to get that from her mother.

Iker nodded his head in agreement as he looked down at Abigail knowing that he was already in love with her; he had only known her for a few hours and he would do anything for her.

“Have you asked Mia yet?” José Luis asked curiously as he watched his eldest son with his new daughter, he knew that they couldn’t ignore the problem that they now faced with Abigail being born.

Carmen shot her husband a warning look knowing that now was not the time for this, they could deal with everything else later on; right now it was a time for celebration.

“Not yet,” Iker replied simply knowing that he was going to talk to Mia about this however he was still waiting for the perfect moment to ask her.

Mia had just had his baby and he wanted her to rest as much as possible, they had a baby together now.

José Luis nodded his head knowing that his son needed to do something and soon, he didn’t like the situation between Iker and Mia; it needed to be resolved and quickly before it led to any problems.

“Let’s not think about that today… let us focus on the fact that we have a grandchild,” Carmen said staring at her husband, she didn’t know how asleep Mia was right now but she didn’t want the brunette getting the wrong idea about what Iker wished to ask her.

Iker nodded his head as he turned his attention to Abigail knowing that he was going to do everything in his power to give her the best chances in the world.
