Ok, I skipped major time, sorry, just try to keep up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amara leaned over and put her head on Bryan's shoulder, "How long have we been here?"
"Four hours."
"And how much is she dilated?"
"Three centimeters."
"Michele," she moaned, but I couldn't hear her. All I could hear was the sound of Michael snoring. It was 2 a.m. and we were waiting for Belle, my daughter, my stubborn daughter who did not want to be born yet.
"Michael!"
"Huh, huh, oh babe I was just resting my eyes."
"Sure you were. Your snoring could have woken up the whole floor!"
"Nu-uh, cause I wasn't snoring. I wasn't even asleep!"
"Right, whatever."
"Hey babe, I've stayed awake more nights than you know watching you sleep, after you pulled one of your stupid sailor scout stunts!"
"I know, I'm sorry, I'm just, ow."
"You ok?"
"What do you think Moron?"
"Yeah, you're ok."
I sighed. Why did I marry such an idiot? He smiled at me and laced his fingers in mine. Oh yeah, that's right, he's sweet and cute!
"Why don't u go and get something to eat with Amara and Bryan, I'm sure they're dying out there."
"Ok"
So he took some money from Bryan and went down to get them all snacks. Out of a 5 dollar bill, he brought back 50 cents.
"What happened to my money!?!"
"Uh, well, I got two moon pies and two bags of chips, cause I couldn't decide which one I wanted more, and a.um.well...a capuchinno was only two dollars!"
Amara shook her head. This was one of those moments in time where, in a normal setting, she would've hit him for his stupidity, but instead, she took the capuchinno and a bag of chips. Surprisingly, she just sat there quietly, without even flashing a glare. I wish I could've been there with them to see her that, well, nice.
And five hours later Michael ran into the waiting room, "It's a girl! I have a daughter!" He hugged Bryan, then Amara. Amara didn't even hit him. She just smiled and laughed.
"Can I see her," she asked him.
"Yeah, but beware, don't let her hold your hand. She has a death grip!"
Amara laughed at him. "Knock, knock," she said coming into my room.
"Amara," I said smiling, "Meet Belle, my little Belle."
Amara lightly took her from me and held her in her arms. Her face fixed on Belle's little face. "Babies are so beautiful," she said.
"Since when do you think so," I asked, jokingly.
She stared lovingly at Belle, not answering.
"Oh my gosh, Amara, you, the queen of 'I'm never having kids;' you're pregnant aren't you?"
"I haven't told Bryan, shut up!"
She handed her back to me and sat down in the chair beside me. I don't remember what happened next, I just remember how perfect everything felt. Everything was right in the world. My Belle made all the bad things just disappear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, so it was sappy again, I'm sorry; I'm rather new at this. But I'm trying!
