🥺🥺
Hii it's me again 😂
I was wondering like imagine reader and james are married and she works in the nicu and a newborn baby who was found abandoned was admitted and like maybe it's premature so it spends a good amount of time in the nicu so the reader and even james ends up bonding with the baby and in the end they adopt the baby
Like I can totally imagine james going to visit the baby in his spare time and the reader and him spending nights at the hospital so its not alone
nonnie which one are you! there’s no emoji 😭 but either way i love this idea how did you know i’m in my dad!wilson feels anyways this is blurb material and i have inspo sooo
Pairings: James Wilson x fem!doctor!Reader
Warnings: surgery
Love You Three
“Hey, honey are you ready to…” James’ voice trailed off as he noticed you staring into one of the many NICU cots that was holding a small premature-looking baby. “You okay?”
He came closer to you, placing his bag off to the side, dressed like he was ready to leave the hospital and face the cold winter air.
“Honey?”
It wasn’t until James’ hand reached your back that you were pulled out of your trance with a bit of a jolt.
“Sorry,” you apologized. “I just…” you sighed unable to find the words to finish your sentence. “I don’t think I can leave him.”
“Are his parents around? Maybe it’ll make you feel better if one of them comes and-,”
“He was abandoned. Someone found him wrapped up on a doorstep to a shelter. He’s a preemie too,” the back of your fingers brushed against his toes.
James finally took a moment to look down at the boy, and suddenly he felt like he understood whatever was pulling you towards him. He was so small. His little fists balled up at his sides, but when your hand was on him he was calm, quiet, stable.
“Abandoned,” James didn’t like the sound of the word, neither did you. It felt so…depressing; unfortunate that his mother probably thought she couldn’t take care of him.
James’ hand descended from the top of your back to the bottom before snaking around your waist so he could pull you closer into his side to press a kiss to your temple.
“I’ll go pick something up for dinner from home and grab you something more comfortable to wear.”
You nodded your head,
“You don’t have to stay afterwards if you want you can go back home.”
“No, I think I want to stay here with both of you,” he looked between you and the baby. “I’ll be back in half an hour.”
You pulled your gaze away from the child for a quick moment to give your husband a kiss, thanking him for his kindness before focusing back again on the baby.
As promised, James returned with a change of clothes for you and some food packed in a tupperware, most likely leftovers from last night’s dinner.
“Go get changed, I can look after him for a minute,” he assured you and you carefully peeled yourself away from the child, your heart aching when you heard him begin to cry, only for it to stop when James reached his hand into the cot, tracing his finger along his arm.
You smiled a little to yourself before going to the locker rooms and getting changed, keeping your scrubs in your locker and eating a little bit of the food before heading back to the NICU.
You watched from a distance for a few moments, unable to keep yourself from smiling at the sight of your husband being so gentle with the small baby.
“There’s something about him, huh,” you said coming closer, now dressed in flannel pants and a hoodie to match James’ casual jeans and sweater.
He simply nodded his head, “When I first looked at him, there was just…a feeling like I had to protect him, and look after him.”
“That’s how I felt too,” you nodded, leaning into James’ side. “I think that feeling is love.”
“Love at first sight,” he chuckled a little. “Like a fairytale.”
“Yeah,” you nodded again. “A fairytale.”
—
“Dr. Wilson, are you here to see your wife? She just went to go speak to one of the mothers but she’ll be back soon.”
“Oh, no I’m actually here to see one of her patients,” he said. “The premature baby who was brought in with no parents.”
“Oh yes, he’s right over here. Such a sad thing to see, especially around the holidays, but he’s been getting the best care in the hospital if I do say so myself.”
“I believe it,” James smiled while walking over to the cot.
The baby was sound asleep at first, but awoke within a few minutes and looked up at James curiously before beginning to cry.
The nurse quickly tried to soothe the baby, but he would have nothing of it, until James offered some assistance.
“Be my guest Dr. Wilson, but he’s not too fond of many people.”
“I wouldn’t worry too much. We know each other, right buddy?” James asked while repeating the same motions he had the first night he met him, instantly stopping the tears.
“He seems to have taken a shine to you,” she said.
James couldn’t help but wonder if maybe he had felt the same thing too. Just like you both had the first night, perhaps, regardless of his young age, he knew he was safe and loved, and James was left with an overwhelming feeling in his gut that he had to do something about it.
“James? What are you doing here?”
He turned around when he heard your voice and you smiled, seeing him with the baby.
“I just came to check on him and see how he was doing,” he said. “Maybe we should stay again?” he suggested. “Tonight I mean.”
“I brought us extra clothes already,” you chuckled.
“Might as well bring the whole closet. I don’t know if I can go home knowing he’s here all alone.”
You placed a hand on his back and pressed a kiss on his cheek.
“Then I guess we’re just going to have to call this home until he’s discharged.”
“What happens when he gets discharged?” James asked, having a feeling he knew the answer already.
“Social services comes in, finds a foster home, unless some relatives come to claim him.”
James hummed thoughtfully, right now you both just had to hope he could make it to getting discharged. Then when the time came, you could see what that would mean.
“Any complications?” he asked.
“Some struggles breathing here and there. His lungs are a little underdeveloped, but nothing major so far.”
Your conversation was interrupted by the sound of James’ pager and he sighed, looking down at the message and seeing he had to go.
“I’ll get dinner later and meet you here at six?” he confirmed and you nodded your head, pulling him in for a quick kiss.
“Love you.”
“Love you too.”
You both took another glance over at the baby and with a soft little smile you said, “Love you three,” while gently tickling his foot with your finger, making him quietly babble in response.
James chuckled and pressed one more kiss to your temple before running off to go deal with a patient who needed him.
“You’re not getting too attached, I hope.”
You sighed, “I think it’s already too late for that. No matter what happens though, he should be loved. He deserves that, even if it’s harder for me in the long run.”
“I don’t think it’ll just be hard for you,” she came and laid a hand on your shoulder. “Your husband there seems to be in the same boat.”
“What can I say,” you hummed. “There’s just something about him.”
—
James rarely received pages from anyone other than Cuddy, the nurses, or his assistant, so when he saw your number flashing on the screen with the code 911 he picked up his office phone and called you immediately.
“Honey, what’s going on?” he asked as soon as the line connected.
“We had a major complication.”
He could hear the strain in your voice, like you were desperately trying to keep it together.
“H-He’s in surgery right now, I just-,” you pinched the bridge of your nose. “We were almost in the clear.”
James wanted to tell you everything was going to be fine, but operating on babies was always a delicate procedure, let alone a premature one.
“Where are you?”
“Viewing room of OR 3,” you responded.
“I’ll be there in a minute.”
James hung up the phone and quickly made his way over to the operating rooms, finding you, as promised, in the observation room of OR 3.
You were sitting on the edge of one of the chairs, gripping onto its sides so hard James could see the strain on your knuckles.
He came next to you and encouraged you to loosen your grip and hold his hand instead.
“James, I know he’s not my baby, but I-,” you bit back tears. “I just want him to be okay,” your voice broke and James pulled you into his side, rubbing your back and letting you feel all of that worry and stress that had been bubbling up in your chest while these events unfolded.
“He’s going to be okay,” James chewed on the inside of his cheek and you knew he was saying it for himself just as much as he was saying it for you.
You both could only get away with sitting there for so long before people came looking for you, and you reluctantly pulled yourselves away, but not before informing the surgical team to keep you updated with any developments.
It was hard to focus on whatever you were doing until you got a message saying that the surgery went smoothly and the baby was now recovering back in the NICU.
You had faith that during his time here, nothing else would come up and he’d continue to heal until he was eventually ready to find a home with parents who would love and cherish him.
The thought came with a slight pang to your heart, but you knew it was probably for the best.
As long as someone loved him, and he was safe. That’s all you could ask for.
—
“I can’t believe you guys are ready to take him,” you chuckled nervously, looking up at the people from social services. “I’ve just been here since they brought him in, it’s gonna be a hard transition.”
“Don’t worry ma’am, we completely understand,” the man assured you. “I’m gonna do my best to make sure he ends up in good hands.”
You were about to get ready to say your goodbyes when you saw James walk into the NICU.
“Hi, are you from social services?” James asked and the man nodded while James put his hand out to shake. “I’m her husband,” he pointed over to you.
“Nice to meet you.”
“I just had a question before you take him,” he started. “Um…how difficult would it be for us to adopt him?”
Your eyes went wide, looking up at James as if to ask if this was something he really wanted to go ahead with. You knew, deep in your heart, there was nothing you wanted more than to watch this child grow up and be there for every single moment, good or bad.
James just nodded his head and you quietly slipped your hand into his and gave it a squeeze.
“You may need to talk to your lawyer, but first we’d get a background check then start the process of registering as foster parents and then you can adopt him after some time,” he explained. “That’s the watered down version, but I’m sure it’ll be fine for two doctors, especially one who looked after him.”
“We’ll do that,” James nodded and the man said he’d go call his superiors to see if there was anything they could do to expedite the process, giving you some time alone with the baby.
“I can’t believe it,” you whispered. “How long have you felt this way?”
“Since the day we saw him,” James kissed you and you looked down at the baby with happy tears in your eyes. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” you smiled up at him, and just like you could read each other’s minds, you looked down at your son and both said,
“Love you three.”

Summary: y/n talks life and all things motherhood in her best friends podcast
Materlist
Hello and welcome back to the simple life podcast my name is y/f/n and today we have y/n ricciardo with us. Firstly for those of you who don't know y/n has been my closest friend since highschool but also when i first started this podcast in 2020 if you have been listening since then the one person I've always been asked to have on is y/n and I finally managed to get her to come on y/f/n says laughing "you make it sound like I was avoiding coming on" y/n replied laughing. "Okay okay in all seriousness she's been itching to get on but she's never been in Perth long enough since covid the get the time but now she has plenty of time" y/ns friend replied back seriously
"So how have you been y/n" "I'm doing amazing lifes great at the moment it's slowed right down and we're just enjoying each moment as it comes I honestly feel like in the last couple of months we've been able to stop and take in the moment more. Also being back in perth has had its perks no doubt I love this place with everything I got"
"People will get mad if I don't ask this early on so how's daniel and baby Olivia doing" "Their both doing amazing olivias six months old and she's just loving life since we've been back in perth we take morning walks down to the beach as a family and her and daniel just love playing in the sand together. I love watching it because she's at the age where she's more in tune with what's going on and just seeing her and daniel interact is amazing"
"She's six months already it feels like just yesterday I was flying out to Monaco because you had gone into labour. Did she enjoy Christmas whats every day life like with a six month old " "Christmas in general was great we got to spend it with the whole family which we haven't been able to do since covid, Olivia was in her element opening her presents and I think she enjoyed it alot because her cousins were there so she had someone to play with. Yeh six months can you believe it myself and daniel are trying to soak everything in because she's growing to fast but I also like this stage because she's more aware of her surroundings too. Also she's got the biggest smile for everyone and this huge belly laugh that only daniel can seem to get her to do she's definitely her father's daughter" y/n says laughing
"On the topic of labor how was that" "it was tough don't get me wrong but I had daniel by my side every second which I was so grateful for and he's someone who can make me laugh even when I don't want to so looking back on it I was laughing through all of labor and delivery thanks to him I definitely couldn't have done it without him."
"How's your business going" "yeh it's going amazing we do hold little pop up shops every now and then and people love that too. There's a new collection coming out soon which I haven't told people about so I'm sure they will be excited by that"
"Any plans on giving Olivia a little brother or sister" "look we've both said it we would love more than one child but at the moment we so happy with life and she's only six months so maybe further down the line we'll try for another"
"I'll be hated if I don't ask this how did you and daniel meet its been what 18 years this year" " yeh 18 years, you know this story all to well because me and you talked to much in class I got moved next to the class clown who was also incredibly good looking. After weeks of him annoying me I finally gave in and went to get lunch with him. I never looked back since that day"
"When you were that young did you expect the two of you to still be together so many years later" y/n starts to laugh "definitely not I was a huge overthinker and I fell in love eith him quite early on but I knew Daniels plans to be an f1 driver and I had plans to go to college but we both knew wel over each other so we gave it a go and don't get me wrong long distance was really hard but it was so worthwhile. I don't regret any of it. I'm so thankful for everything I have in life especially daniel and olivia their both the light of my life and Daniels always been there for me and has helped me through so much"
"What's your take on life" "I like to just live in the moment cherish everything I have. I try not to worry because I know there's a solution to everything once I look for it"
"Quick fire round"
"Favourite flavour of ice cream"
"Mint chocolate chip"
"Farm life or city life"
"Farm life it's so much quieter"
"Mornings or nights"
"Morning person"
"Dogs or cats"
