Alena |Complete|

[57]

Dom' POV:

This morning Alena woke up in horrible pain, so I took her to the hospital right away, Aubrey meeting us there. Me being me, I was worried something was wrong but it turns out our little man was ready to meet us a few days early.

Alena's labor didn't look easy in the slightest, but luckily it didn't last very long and she handled it like a pro. Other then my hand being squeezed to death she did really well, she didn't even yell or swear at me which I was excepting after hearing Riccardo and Franco's experiences when Marco and Chiara were born.

She went into full labor at around seven am and by eight our little man had entered the world.

It's now three in the afternoon and there are lots of people who are wanting to meet him and check on Alena so we told everyone they could come by close to three to give Alena enough time rest as well as get used to having our little man with us.

"Everyone is going to start arriving soon, are you feeling up to it?" I ask Alena who is sitting up in bed nursing our son

"I'm a little tired but it's fine for them to come, they're all excited to meet him."

Like clockwork, Bex and Riccardo make their way in, Chiara staying with Riccardo's sister who is in town. "Aww look at him" Bex gushes as she makes her way over to Alena who is holding our son in her arms

"Congratulations man" Riccardo shakes my hand

"So what did you name him? I can't believe you wouldn't tell me over the phone" Bex pouts

"Andre, Andre Ricci" Alena smiles up at her

"Aw, you kept the Italian theme going, I love it" she smiles

"We do as well, it's Italian but common enough in the rest of the world that people won't be like your name is what?" Alena giggles

"How did she go?" Riccardo asks me quietly referring the Alena in labor

"She was really good, she didn't yell at me once" I shrug

"So it's just my wife who's a psycho then?" He smirks

"I can hear you Riccardo, if you want a second child that's not the way to go about it" Bex points at him

In case you were wondering yes, Bex and Riccardo are now married. They married a few months ago in a very small ceremony at their home. There was no big wedding reception or a bridal party like Alena and I had, it was just very small and short and sweet.

"You still good to take over for a little while?" I ask Riccardo 

"Of course man, as long as you need."

"I can come in and help of course, but for the most part I'd like to be at home with Alena and Andre"

"I get it man, I'm a dad as well remember I know how important is it to be at home with your baby, you don't need to justify yourself" 

"I hear my grandson has arrived," Easton says with a grin as he makes his way into the room

"Hi Dad" Alena smiles up at him

He shakes my hand quickly and makes his way over to Alena, kissing her forehead "I hear you did an amazing job." 

"It's not like I had a choice" Alena giggles 

"He's very cute, but I might be a little biased" he smiles down at Andre

"Do you want to hold him?" 

"Of course I do" He reaches down and takes Andre into his arms "Hey little man, I hope you're ready for the crazy world you've just been born into"
