"Okay." She grins, running out of the room while Seb smirks at me as he closes the door.

"She isn't going to leave us alone, is she?" he asks Blake, who is just leaving the room.

"No." He laughs before shutting the door.

"Want to feed him? He looks hungry. We had to feed him bottles because of how sick you were, May. I'm sorry." He frowns at my sad face.

"It doesn't matter. As long as he is here and healthy, I'm happy," I say, glancing at my little boy who is sucking on his hand, making ‘gah’ noises.

"Here you go." Sebastian hands me a pre-made bottle, and I feed my son for the first time. It's amazing, until he is sick on me as I burp him, and I laugh.

"I will need to get used to this,"I say as I wipe away the sick with some wipes.

"We both will. Hand him over, and I'll change him," Seb says with such a loving look at our son, until he smells the nappy Jake has just done.

“That’s not a good smell on you, little man,” he tells Jake as he changes his nappy, and the smell is horrible.

"I feel tired, can I sleep?" I ask him.

"Yes, baby, I will wake you when the midwife comes."Seb smiles over his shoulder at me.

"I love you, Sebby," I say, feeling myself falling asleep.

The last thing I hear as I drift off is, "I love you, my May. Hey, wait! Don’t pee on me, Jake.”

Chapter 19

Sebastian

"How's she doing?" Elliot asks as we walk into the hospital.

I left Izzy with Maisy so I could go and get some new clothes, and then a long-needed shower.Having your new-born pee up your shirt is not a good smell. I couldn’t even be mad because Jake looked so peaceful as he peed on me. I’ve learned a lesson from yesterday, always put the nappy on quickly.

"All good. They want to keep her in a few days, but she is up and about now. She is struggling to keep food down, but they said that's normal." I glance at my brother, wondering if now is the best time to tell him about Allie.

"Look, bro, I’ve got to tell you something," I say and stop him with my hand in the middle of some empty corridor in the hospital.

"What?" he asks, looking confused.

"Allie doesn't know about her dad. I'm sure of it. Tristan lied to you about her. I think he knew back then how you felt about her, and he clearly knew what our father was doing. I think he was just protecting her from you,"I tell him.

Elliot takes a step back from me. Neither of us say anything as he processes what I have told him.

"You sure?" he asksfinally, wearing an indescribable expression.

"Yeah, I'm sure, bro,"I say, keeping eye contact.

"Thanks for telling me," Elliot says, before walking on like I hadn't said anything. I know it's something he has to work out on his own. He won't want to talk about it yet.

"I have another thing to ask," I say, grinning when he laughs.

"What now?" He still is laughing as we walk toward the maternity suite.

"Be my best man?" I ask a little nervously.

"Sure." He pats my shoulder, before shaking his head laughing.

"What's funny?"I question him.
