Inspired partly by Finding Mum… that I still read BTW…and it's good.

"It's a girl, Miss Hale," the doctor said handing me my baby. She was tiny and red. Her little blonde hairs were sticking in every which way. She sleepily opened her bright blues and stared around the room with a sleepy expression. She opened her tiny mouth and let out a yawn.
"Hello! I am your mommy," I said, a wide and uncontrolled smile speeding across my face. "And your name is Lillian Mackenzie Hale," I said crying. I had already chosen her name and made a necklace for her birth. It was a gold chain with her full name. I put the necklace on her tiny neck and kissed her small warm forehead.
For two second she stared into my eyes with a very serious expression. She brought her tiny, warm hand to my face and then sneezed in my face. Her wrist was so tiny and fragile looking it was like a twig.
After a couple seconds she looked at me with wide eyes and started to wail.
"It's okay. I'm here and I'll always be here for you," I said to my daughter. She quieted down and fell into a calm sleep.
My baby…my life…Lillian Mackenzie Hale.
