Song for this chapter is "Amazing" by Aerosmith.

"Amazing. With the blink of an eye, I finally saw the light. It's amazing that when the moment arrives, you know you'll be alright."

"So the baby was born?"
"Yeah, mom. And oh my god, she's so gorgeous. I can't believe it."
I was talking to my mom on the phone while Edward said goodbye to Alice and Audrey. They were spending the night here at the hospital, and Edward and I would come back tomorrow morning when they are both discharged.
"I'm so glad you've already bonded with her, baby. How are Alice and Edward going to handle the first couple of weeks with the custody agreement? I know that earlier, their plan was a little…unorthodox."
My mom knew a lot about the whole baby situation- she was a nice, unbiased person to talk to, especially if I didn't agree with something Edward and Alice decided. My mom was usually able to talk me down and help me see their point of view. "Yeah, they still want to stick to that plan, but they're not sure if it's going to work out. Edward and I will have her for the first weekend and if none of us like the way it goes, then they're going to revisit the custody plan. I don't know, I just think splitting custody while she's this young will be a lot more difficult. Edward is really worried about Alice going through post-partum depression. He says it runs in her family."
"Well, Bella, I'm sure you'll be able to figure this all out between the three of you. But I've got to go, okay? Call me later, baby. I love you."
"Love you, too. Talk to you later."

"This is crazy. I already miss her. How is that possible?" Edward asked me.
We were cuddling together on the couch, watching a movie. We had only left the hospital a couple of hours ago, but I knew what Edward was feeling. Audrey wasn't even my daughter, and I found myself thinking about the little cutie pie. And of course, Edward misses her even more.
I don't think he's even totally processed the situation- that his daughter has finally been born. He's been walking on a cloud ever since Audrey's birth, and I've never seen him happier.
Audrey is already doing wonderful things for us.

Not sure if I'll be able to update tomorrow. I'll have people over, and I'm not sure how late they'll be staying over. So if they leave before twelve, I'll be updating. If not… =(
Xoxo- Mel.
