I wake up early this morning. Well I wake up for the third time this morning. Noelle kept me up all night constantly needing attention and care. But I didn't care I love my daughter. She's my little girl. It was six and my husband Roger is already awake preparing the store for shoppers.
I walk into Noelle's bed room where she's squirming. "Shh Noelle mommy's here." I pick her up and change her into a onesie. I'm taking her shopping today for cute little toys and pink clothes.
I lay her back in her crib and change myself. When I'm ready I prepare a diaper bag for Noelle. I wrap her in a warm wool blanket.
I head down the stair and feed her quickly. "Are you on your way out Laurel?" Roger asks.
"Yes " I stand up and kiss his cheek. I shut the door on my way out and head to the very tiny baby store. When the door opens a bell rings.
"Laurel?" I hear a very familiar voice.
"Mable?" I smile as I see my friend appear from behind a shelf.
"You had the baby!" She smiles, "Aren't you a little early." she says looking at Noelle.
"Yes, I had twins, but her brother didn't make it" I said my heart breaking a little.
"Oh I'm so sorry." She said "But she's beautiful. What did you name her?"
"Noelle Love Garner."
"Hi Noelle" She smiles. "Come on let's get to the shopping."
I spend about an hour shopping. I bought her the cutest little cloths and the most adorable dolls. I show off my daughter with pride. Everyone thinks she's just the cutest thing.
I get home and sit in the rocking chair. I just look fondly at my little girl. My child in my arms. There is no more natural thing a mother and her baby.
Though Roger and I know she is not really ours I feel that she is. I did not carry her inside me for nine months. I did not feel her kick inside me. But I am her mother. I love her and will protect her with all that I am.
She's the little girl I dreamed about for so long. She's the answer to my prayers. She is everything to me. I may have lost my son but I got a daughter.
I love her more than I thought I could. I kiss her forehead and continue to rock her.
My husband comes in and I notice that it's night. He kisses my forehead.
"Our little girl" He says and kisses her head.
He doesn't have to say anything else. He wants her to be our daughter too. I couldn't be happier.
One more chapter down! Alright back to Thalassa... Noelle's point of view! Again another short one. I wanted this to show how her parents really love her and how she hads a great childhood, because the next chapter will be when she's twelve! Yay time skips!
