Chapter 400 : Happy

*Lauren*

One Month Later

I was in the rocking chair in the nursery, feeding Jaden with a bottle of milk, and feeling as happy as I had felt in a long, long time. Immediately after his birth, he had to spend a week in the hospital so the doctors could observe him and make sure that he was progressing positively from the weakened state he had been in at birth.

He did improve a great deal in that week, and Lucas and I were given the go-ahead to bring him home. That week was a nerve-wracking one for all of us–not just Lucas and me, but for my father, Shelby, Clara, and the rest of our friends and family.
