NovelBookEverett had turned Dorothy into quite the pampered princess, not that she had many faults to begin with, but now she'd developed
a peculiar habit of being picky about where she slept!
After just two days and one night at the hospital, seeing Dorothy struggling to rest properly, Everett decided to bring not just the
baby but also the entire medical team back to their home.
"Are we... making too much of a fuss?" Dorothy couldn't help but laugh and cry at the stas she watched Everett nearly
recruit the whole maternity ward staff. "I had the baby just fine! There's really no need for all this medical staff. Aren't we just
wasting public resources here?"
"I hired them; they're not here for free," Everett explained gently, caressing her cheek. "The hospital isn't close by, and | couldn't
bear the thought of something happening and us not being prepared. Consider it something I'm doing for my own peace of mind."
With that said, what more could Dorothy add?

Maybe it was the exhaustion from childbirth, but Dorothy found herself feeling tired all the tnow. Even when her friend Karen
cover for a chat, Dorothy would nod off mid-conversation.
And she wouldn't wake up until late at night.
Groggy and bleary-eyed, she noticed a figure cradling the baby, pacing back and forth in their bedroom.
Everett was so engrossed in looking at their newborn that he didn't even notice Dorothy waking up.
Now forbidden from wearing her contact lenses, Dorothy reached for her glasses on the nightstand, putting them on to get a
clearer view of the tender expression on Everett's face.
Even after all this ttogether, she had never seen such a lasting smile on his face!
Checking the time, she saw it was already nine o'clock at night.
"Did Abigail and Langston go to bed?"
Hearing her voice, Everett finally shifted his attention. "Yep! | tucked them both in beforeing back here," he said, smiling as he
walked over to the bed with the baby. "Don't worry, | won't let them feel left out now that they have a little sister."
Dorothy smiled helplessly. "You didn't even need to say it. | know!"
He always thought of everything, so she never had to worry or remind him.
"Abigail was glued to the crib as soon as she got hfrom school today, watching over her little sister. Later, because Langston
has trouble standing for too long, | was worried about him, so | brought the baby to the big bed. But as soon as she saw Langston,

Even as Everett recounted the day's events, his hand automatically kept patting his daughter gently.
He had fully embraced his role as a father, seeming even more like the one who had just had a baby than Dorothy herself,
radiating with love.
"Really? Karen's daughter is always so happy to see Langston, and here his own sister cries at the sight of him." Dorothy looked up
at Everett, a bit exasperated. "You don't have to keep walking around standing up. The doctor said if the baby gets used to it, she'll
only fall asleep that way from now on."
She meant well with her reminder, but Everett simply said, "My daughter just likes being walked around to fall asleep, that's an
easy wish to fulfill!"
"Whatever she likes, whatever she wants, I'm willing to give." He concluded, then winked at the baby, "Right, daddy's right, isn't
he?"
