"She totally has your big ears, though,"Flynn laughs softly, resting his chin on Calum's shoulder as he continues to gaze down at his swaddled little daughter, her brown hair that's exactly his color already beginning to curl by her ears covered by a little beanie. 
 "Do you have big ears,"Calum coos down at little Ryleigh whose little tongue is peaking out between her full lips. "Oh look at that tongue! Look at you, precious girl. Are you just the most beautiful thing ever?" 
 "How's she doing?"Bindi asks, her voice raspy and almost completely dead as she continues to rest back against the raised head of the bed, her  cheek resting against her pillow that she brought from home, her eyes heavy and her cheeks still a bit full. 
"She's perfect,"Calum grins tearfully, looking up at his baby sister who he could never thank enough. He could never even begin to get close. "How're you feeling, Bind?" 
"Like a million bucks,"Bindi jokes with a little smirk that gains a laugh from all of her siblings in the room while Darcy continues to sit on the bed, Bindi's leg in her hands as she massages her calf gently. "My vagina does weirdly feel like I just pushed out an eight pound eight ounce baby...oh wait, maybe that's cuz I did." 
 "You did and you were such a badass,"Flynn proudly smiles, continuing to comb her fingers through Calum's blonde curls. 
 "Oh hi, oh hi Ryleigh,"Calum chuckles as a little yawn escapes her lips, her eyes clenching up and her chin lowering to create a double one. "I know, baby girl is it so late? You kept us up all night, huh? Should we all try to get some rest soon?" 
 "Do you need another ice pack, baby?"Darcy asks, taking on a motherly role with Bindi just as she always has, reaching her fingers up to comb them through Bindi's hair as Bindi continues to rest her cheek against the pillow, her eyes trying to close, but she's fighting against them. 
 "No, it's okay,"Bindi promises, becoming well aware of the ice pack she's currently sitting on even though her vagina still feels like it's on fire. "I'm so tired..." 
 "Yeah, you need to get some sleep, sweetheart,"Darcy whispers, rubbing her thumb against Bindi's cheek bone that has a few freckles scattered over the skin. 
 "I know, but I love watching them,"Bindi whispers just loud enough for Darcy to hear as she keeps her eyes focused on her brothers who are fawning over their little girl, Calum still holding her and bouncing her gently as Flynn reaches over to rub his fingertip against Ryleigh's chubby cheek. "It makes it all worth it." 
"Does it?"Darcy grins lovingly, also casting her gaze over to her little brothers who look over the moon, watching as Calum leans down to press a little kiss against her forehead. "They're the best dads." 
"I'm so glad I could do it for them,"Bindi murmurs, resting her hands on top of her deflated bump as she sighs sleepily, yawning widely. "They deserve it." 
"Do you wanna hold her again? I've been hogging her for a while,"Calum grins, turning his head to look at Flynn who still has his chin resting on Calum's shoulder, his eyes locked on little Ryleigh who's still peacefully looking up at her daddy's with her glassy new eyes, taking in all of her surroundings. 
 "Yeah, I'll take her,"Flynn nods with the biggest smile, sitting up straight and holding his hands out towards her as Calum carefully passes her into Flynn's arms who immediately grins at the weight in his arms. 
"Hi sweetheart, hi, there you are,"Flynn coos with the most adorable baby voice, more in love than Calum has ever seen him. Neither of them knew it was possible to feel this kind of immediate love. It almost makes them sick with how much they love her and it definitely scared Flynn slightly the immediate love and bond he had to Ryleigh. He was terrified during Bindi's entire pregnancy about how he would react to his little girl or if she'd like him...but he's not anymore and it seems silly to him now that he ever had those feelings.
