The following morning, I woke up, smiling when I looked out the window to see the sun coming in through it. It was a sign that all storms had broken and left, meaning it was a sunny day here in Dallas. When Dawson left to go grab the both of us breakfast along with my hospital bag, I felt determined to build a bond with our son. I knew I was just overreacting. I had a tendency to do so but all I wanted was that connection.
Thanking the nurse when she handed me Mateo, I held my son close, admiring how handsome he was the entire time. Dawson was right when he said you could get lost in time when looking at him. Time seemed to stop as I stared into those beautiful green eyes, admiring him and the fact that we were so blessed to have him. Sighing contently, I laughed quietly when he fell back asleep. I decided to make myself comfortable and lay back, setting him on my chest while I watched HGTV.
I was thankful Dawson allowed my son and I to be left alone during this time before those who loved him began to bombard the room, trying to get to hold Mateo. I knew I was going to play full momma bear the minute our family members arrived. After the rough day I had giving birth to the greatest blessing I ever received.
Hearing the door open, I looked over and smiled at Dawson, immediately smelling the Earl Grey tea. "Mm, all my favorites." I said with a wide grin, letting him take Mateo and place him in his bed. "You are amazing, ya know that?" I asked him, leaning forward to kiss him lovingly. "Thank you for breakfast. When is everyone going to start coming?" I wasn't too thrilled about it, but I knew it was going to happen. The only person I wanted here meeting Mateo was Amelia, but I knew with a room full of Covington's she wouldn't intrude. I really wish they wouldn't have made shit awkward. I wasn't even sure what family was coming first. I could only imagine trying to fit the Covington's and my family in one room. That would be too chaotic for me to handle right now.
