  Jade could feel the anger starting to build up in her. There was just so much that was going on around her that she couldn't actually feel anything but anger. It was an overwhelming wave that, when he walked in, he actually could feel coming off of her.“what's going on in why did things change so quickly?” Jonathan asked as he looked at her knowing that women in their postpartum could easily switch emotions very quickly. He was already hoping that that was not the case here and that she was not in any real distress. However, the entire situation that's what was completely distressing. It was easy for her to go through a lot of emotions when she was thinking about her situation. She had not only been abandoned by her father, but she had been kicked out of a hospital with a newborn baby that she wasn't equipped to take care of. That was a lot to deal with, especially when she didn't have any way of doing anything I'm getting anywhere saf

  He went ahead and checked her incision. And he also gave her the over-the-counter cream that he had bought to keep infection away. He was more worried about her going into some kind of sepsis. No, right now, she seemed to be in good spirits. He was going to keep an eye on her temperature and also give her pain relievers. Luckily the pain relievers that the nurse had left out for his people to take were there. He didn't want to give her too many of them even though she probably needed them only because she was breastfeeding.That was probably one of the reasons why the baby was slightly lethargic because she had been taking the pain relievers the day before while she was both in surgery and after. He needed to actually see her medical chart to understand exactly what they did. The incision that she had was not one of the normal ones. He wanted to be able to advise her and some simple things. But he needed to actually pull that up, and right now, he

  After she was done getting ready, he helped her get to the car. Then he went and got the infant and put him in the car seat, and then loaded him up into the car as well. It had taken a little maneuvering, but he had managed to get the base of the car seat in the car, and it was studied. He was actually quite happy with himself. For a little while, it had actually seemed like he wasn't going to be able to get the car seat in strapped properly. And then he would have felt like a complete fool because he was a board-certified physician, but he couldn't manage to get a car seat in.He got a pillow for her back so she would be propped up in a good position, and also, he had managed to get her a padded footstool dressed as well that could go in. He was trying to make sure that she was in a really good position so she wouldn't rupture anything. “at some point, I'm going to call one of my friends to go over everything that I was planning for you.

   Closer to the house and he could see a huge pile of stuff that was in front of it. He was furious, and she looked absolutely mortified. It seemed that most of it were stuff that she had collected for the baby. Things that would have been used for the first year of its life. That was when he actually saw a red just because she was so upset right when she actually saw everything.“I don't think I can get everything into the car. However, she left it in a place that doesn't seem to be visible from the house. I'm going to call a couple of people to ask them to come over here, and we can just load everything up. We can bring it back to the house.” he said as he looked at her, and she was just shaking. He got out and started to load up the trunk as he was talking into his phone. “I don't need you to ask me any questions, but I need some help. I need you to bring your truck over here, and do you think that you can have your

  After everything was brought back into the house and his female doctor friend Diana had also talked to him and her privately about different things that could happen and what she should do to make sure that she takes care of herself and nothing does happen, he felt better. Jonathan started to feel a little bit more confident in the fact of taking care of her. Even starting to, I feel like this was a really good thing that could be happening. The baby was still sleeping and seemed to like car rides. They put them right out. The house was quiet, and he finally walked in from saying thank you for the help, and she was sitting there relaxed.The entire idea of everything that had just happened was still taking a toll on her. He was trying his best to make sure that everything was OK and it was still in good condition. It wasn't like this was something that either one of them had planned for, but they had already begun to adapt and overcome the situatio

   Over the next few hours, the dude really didn't move that much. She had pretty much made it home on the couch and was able to do very little for herself or for the baby, let alone try to take care of the house. It wasn't that he had expected her to either. Somehow she thought that she would be able to get up and do something, but she really couldn't. she had started to feel dizzy, and he realized that she probably needed to eat. He wasn't going to subject her to cooking today, so he went ahead and ordered some dinner. She deserved to be able to eat, and she needed to so she could not only take care of herself but so she could take care of the baby as well.Little conversations here and there were the things that were getting them through the rest of the night. Don't neither one of them wanted to talk about anything serious they were just getting to know each other. They were going to have to rely on each other at the end of this, and

  Jonathan didn't remember exactly when the last time she had fed the baby was. However, he knew that she knew that her sleep. They had already discussed what happened if she was dead to the world and the baby needed to be fed. She didn't really care about being exclusively breastfeeding, so if the baby woke up, he could easily just give him a bottle. Right now, making sure that both of them were eating what they were supposed to and doing what they needed to do seemed more important than one thing over another.She seemed really happy about one of the things that they managed to salvage from the pile was a very expensive breast pump. So if need be, she would be able to attach it and then get what she needed for the baby so they could put it in the bottle. It was one of those things that he had never thought was going to be a huge part of his life, but now he was going to pay attention to this kind of thing. He was lucky in the fact that she was will

  Turn the TV on and began to flip through the channels with the baby in his arms. He knew that he could put him down in any of the different vessels that they had, but for right now, it just seemed like it was the most natural thing to do. Just to hold the baby close to him and at least let him feel that somebody was there. It's what they would be encouraging in the hospital.And the baby didn't seem to mind too much. Every once in a while, he'd wiggle or squirm, but it was just to get readjusted into a new position. Soon he had him propped up against his chest as they both were watching the TV. Jonathan knew that the baby couldn't actually see that far, but it was interesting to see how the baby reacted to different leaps in colors. It was like his own science experiment that was going on right in front of his eyes in his living room. Jade finally opened her eyes a little bit and looked at the two of them, and kind of smiled and then closed her eye

  The next few days were quiet, and Jonathan was preparing to go to work. It was already late in the evening, and luckily he already knew that the baby had been fed a few times and that there was a bottle next to her, so if things got to be a little bit rough while he was gone, she would be set up. She had only been taking over-the-counter medication for the past two days. Though the pain was still there, it wasn't as great as it had been. The incision seemed to be closing well, and there didn't seem to be any signs of infection, so he was OK with leaving her. Though he really didn't want to.The way that he figured it was today would be the day that she would actually be discharged from the hospital. He wasn't exactly thrilled with the fact that he was going to be about 1/2 an hour away. Something happened to her; however, her phone was next to her, and she could make phone calls. He had already added her phone number to his plan, and the number swi

  He sent a text message to her just checking in and was not surprised when he got an immediate response saying that everything was fine. That took a lot of his mind. And he was able to concentrate. He was finishing up his reports that he was going over the toxicology reports for a few of their patients. And he was noting everything in the correct file. Most of what he did was paperwork. It wasn't exciting at all. A lot of people thought that his job could possibly be one of the most exciting, but it really wasn't. It was long and tedious and sometimes very boring. Though he enjoyed doing what he did, it was one of those things that he found was not exactly would you plan for.He also knew that he had some that tech about two hours ago to go find a terminal that he can use to pull up the information. It had been that long, at least when is surprisingly, as soon as he thought about it, the man showed up out of nowhere. He had a stack full of files in
