A/N: This was an idea I came up with a few days ago. This is what I call a "mini fic" as it has a set number of chapters and each one will be rather short.
To Lori,
The day I found out I was pregnant was one of the best days of my life. Your father and I had just gotten married the month before, and we weren't expecting to start a family so soon, but we didn't mind.
We were both scared. We weren't sure if we could be good parents to you, but we tried our best.
When I saw you for the first time, it was an indescribable feeling. There's no better feeling than carrying something you created inside of you for nine months, and then holding that creation in your arms.
You were so beautiful. Your father and I were at a loss for words. The doctors were a bit worried because you had a pointed head, and webbed toes, but we assured them that we had seen it before, and that you'd be fine.
You weren't an easy baby either, you cried a lot. We tried many things to get you to stop, and one those things ended up being a toy that drove us insane.
You've always been such an amazing big sister. When Leni was born, you took right to her. I love seeing how great you are with all of them. They tell me that you're harsh on them sometimes, but I know you mean well. You're the only one who can control them when we're gone. We thank you so much for that.
I'm loving getting to see how much you've grown in the past seventeen years. You're still so beautiful. Your boyfriend is amazing too. I wouldn't want anyone else for my daughter. You deserve only the best, and he's it.
It's hard to believe that you'll be graduating in a few months. It seems like only yesterday I was holding you for the first time. You'll be going off to college soon. I'm not sure how I feel about it still, but I know you'll do amazing. Have fun in the big city.
Love you always,
Mom
