Deborah was admiring her little one as she fed him, wondering if her mother had felt the same way when she first held her, feeling that special bond of wanting to give everything for this beautiful child. "You know, I'm jealous," Jayden said, pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Huh? Why?" she asked, looking up at him...

"Because he got to be first, and I didn't," he said, frowning slightly.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"He was the first to try," he said playfully, nodding toward James, who was nursing.

"Pervert..." she muttered, blushing as she realized what he meant.

"Well, I'll get my turn later, right?" he teased, wrapping his arms around her from behind. "No, it's for your son."

"But James will share with Daddy, right, son?" he asked, playfully caressing her back. "No," she laughed, "behave yourself."

Jayden smiled and kissed her bare shoulder, noticing that James was watching him.

"You'll help me take care of Mommy, won't you?"

"Ah..." the little one responded, moving his tiny hands.

"My heroes," she said, gently moving her son to make him burp.

After James burped, Jayden made silly faces at him, easily making the baby laugh.

Deborah smiled at the sight, and after covering herself, she joined in on the fun with her boys.

"I see someone's in a good mood," the doctor said as he entered the room. "Where's the rest of the family?"

"Sadly, it's a workday," Jayden replied, "but my mom will be back soon."

"I see. Well, I'm here to check on you both," the doctor said, approaching Deborah to take James.

"Ah..." the baby began to fuss as he was separated from his mother.

"Now, calm down, James, I'm not going to steal you," the doctor joked as he laid the baby on the bed to listen to his lungs with a stethoscope, causing James to cry out at the cold metal on his skin. "Don't cry, son, we're right here," Jayden said, offering his 'finger for the baby to hold, which helped calm him a bit.

"That's right, son, we're here," Deborah echoed, and James now had a little pout on his lips as he gripped his parents' fingers tightly.

"You're a brave little guy, and we're all done," the doctor said after finishing the examination. "Now it's your turn," he said, looking at Deborah.

Jayden picked up James and wiped away his tears.

"It's over, son," he said, noticing that the baby was babbling in protest as they both watched the doctor intently.

"Well, everything seems to be in order," the doctor declared after checking Deborah. "That means all you need to do is finish the paperwork, and you'll be able to go home this afternoon." "Really?" Jayden said, excited.

"Yes, a nurse will be by shortly to help you with that," the doctor informed them, turning to Deborah. "And how about next month at 11 for James's first appointment with the pediatrician I recommended?" "Hm... that's a good time."

"Excellent, I'll let my cousin's secretary know to confirm the appointment."

"Thank you for everything, Doc," Jayden said.

"Well, I'll be around if you need anything. I'm on rounds today," the doctor said as he left.

"That was quick; I thought we'd be staying a few days in the hospital," Jayden said, pulling his phone out of his pocket.

"It's because James was born naturally. If it had been a C-section, it would be different because they'd need to check how my body is healing and other things," Deborah explained, as James began to yawn. "I see, and it also helped that we all took care of you with your cravings and meds."

"Yes, that helped too," she agreed as she gently rocked her little one, humming a lullaby.

Jayden smiled at the scene, forgetting to send the messages because he didn't want to miss that beautiful moment, which he recorded with his phone's camera so he could always watch it.

When James fell asleep, they placed him in the bassinet with the teddy bear Elliot had given him.

"Oh, right, I'll let Mom and our 'little birds' know to come pick us up," Jayden said, taking out his phone to send several messages with the good news.

The recipients of his message decided to throw a welcome party for the newest family member.

"Everyone, you heard that right, let's throw a big welcome party for my grandson!" Samantha announced.

"Already?" some of the staff asked excitedly.

"Yes, they'll be leaving the hospital in a little while," she said excitedly. "I'll let my husband know to bring some confetti cannons and you all can bring out the decorations we hid last time."

The servants smiled and began preparing for the big celebration while the lady of the house started calling others to share the news of the discharge.

Meanwhile, Nicholas shared the announcement with all the employees at the company, who were thrilled to hear about the birth of the little one.

"We'll have a little accountant with us soon," some of the excited workers joked.

"Boss, do you have any pictures?"

"Of course I do, look," the proud grandpa said, showing off his grandson.

"He looks just like you," some of the female employees said.

"That's right, my grandson has good taste."

Many laughed, sharing in their boss's good mood, genuinely happy to feel some joy in the office again after the death of the previous owners had plunged the place into deep sadness due to those swindlers. George also heard about the discharge and was visibly happy, wanting to contribute to the welcome party.

"Thanks, Samantha. I'll order the welcome cake and have it sent to your house."

"Perfect, we'll be here waiting because, according to my son, they'll be out of the hospital by 6."

"Great, I'll finish the meeting and head straight to your place to welcome them," he said, smiling.

"We'll be here waiting," Samantha said, ending the call.

"Fabian."

"Yes?" Fabian replied, approaching his boss.

"Go to Ben's and get that thing I asked for."

"Of course, I'll get it right away," Fabian said, smiling as it was the special order made for the newest family member.

"And let Elliot know about the party because knowing him, he'll want to rush to the hospital as soon as he's done with school."

"You know him well, sir," Fabian said with a chuckle, just as a message came through on his phone, causing him to frown. "Sir." "What is it, Fabian?" George asked, confused by Fabian's sudden serious demeanor.

"I just received a special report from the security guard," he said, handing his phone to George to watch

the video that had been sent.
