A/N: Here is my first long term story. I'll be writing this along with other fanfictions. I hope you enjoy this little series. Be sure to "follow" my story. Bye lovlies! ~Aria

Throughout the years, Mr. Bates and I have been through more than Romeo and Juliet. We have conquered more than William II of Normandy. We have traveled more troubled waters than Sir Francis Drake. We have experienced more turmoil than any character in Charles Dickens. We are John and Anna Bates. And although we have had many difficulties, our tough road is much better than living a life without each other.

It all started with two smiles, two dinners, two kisses, two murders, a rape, and now a child. I know, that sounds ridiculous, but it's true. Mr. Bates and I are absolutely in love with our son, John Junior who was in fact born a few days ago. Since I don't want to miss a moment, I've decided to start keeping track of major and minor events in our lives. Especially, in our son's life.

Hold your breath, because life is about to get much harder.
