"Daddy" I said to my father one night. "Tell me about the time I was born." I was laying on his lap. We had just finished a movie. It was mom's turn for the night shift at the office and she wouldn't be home for another hour. Dad yawned and stretched one of his arms. "Well... I had just got'n off work and was on my way home to check on your mom when I got a call from Brick telling me Zoe was on her way to the hospital cause her water had broke. I made the biggest illegal U-turn *cough* don't ever do that by the way." I laughed and dad smiled before he continued. "Anyways I was so freaked out I made to the hospital right as your mama did. They wheeled her in and I was like "Baby don't push! Don't push! breathe!" but your mom just laughed at me and told me that she was fine and that babies don't come that fast. A few hours later you were born. You were sooo tiny I thought I would drop you. Your mom knew what to do. They placed you in her arms and you stopped screaming right away. I was so nervous to cut your cord and your mom yelling and laughing at the same time, "Wade! Cut the damn cord already!" "Daddy! Put a nickel in the swearing jar!" I said giggling. He leaned over and tickled me a bit. "When I did finally get the guts to hold you the world just kinda stopped... and I knew in that moment... I was ready to be a dad." I looked up at him, "You had doubts?" "Yeah kid, I mean look at me" I giggled, "Point" "Heyyy" Dad said and tickled me again. "The nurse came in to get your name on the birth certificate thing and your mother and I had decided on Delilah Hart. We hadn't talked about a middle name thought. I offered up the name Zoe. But your mom brought a tear to my eye with what she said next, "I like Jacqueline... after your mom." So Jacqueline it was... Delilah Jacqueline Hart." "Kinsella-Hart" I corrected and dad kissed me on the forehead. "Come on Delilah..Jacqueline..Kinsella..Hart...Time for bed."
