"Evelyn, baby come on its not time to play games with Mommy," Tess looked under the bed for her three year old daughter. "Come on Daddy's gonna be home soon." She got up and walked to the closet. "Evelyn?"
"Ah!" a little girl with straight blond hair jumped out into Tess's arms.
"Hey honey," she sat on the wood floor.
"Is Daddy coming home?"
"Yup,"
"Yeah!" the little girl cheered.
"Come on you need to get dressed," Tess got up holding her large eight month pregnant stomach. Evelyn grabbed her mother's hand and they walked to her room. "What do you want to wear?"
"I dunno," she sat on her bed dangling her feet.
"How about this?" Tess pulled out a pale blue dress with a boat on the front of it.
"Too fancy,"
"Okay," Tess put it back and walked to the dresser. She opened the drawer and pulled out black shorts and a whit t-shirt with flowers on it.
"I don't like the colors of the flowers,"
"Well…we can change that," Tess waved her hands over the flowers and the colors went from pink to purple. "Is that okay?"
"Yes!"
"Okay," Tess laughed and changed her. "Lets go."
~I would
give up everything before I'd separate myself from you. After so much
suffering, I finally found unvarnished truth. I was all by myself for the
longest time. So cold inside. And the hurt from the heartache would not
subsided, I felt like dying until you saved my life. Thank God I found you, I
was lost without you. My every wish and every dream somehow became reality.
When you brought the sunlight completed my whole life. I'm overwhelmed with
gratitude my baby I'm so thankful I found you~
ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO AIRPORT
Tess stood by the bench holding Evelyn's hand looking through the crowd of people getting off planes and going to their loved ones. She lifted her head a bit but still didn't see the one she was looking for.
"Do you see Daddy yet?" Evelyn asked looking up at her mother.
"Not yet sweetie," Tess continued to look.
"Flight 316 from Jackson, Mississippi coming in at Gate 13,"
"Okay honey we have to go over there," Tess started to walk towards the gate. A face popped out at her from the hundreds. Her husband, Kyle was looking lost trying to find her.
"Daddy!" Evelyn yelled. Kyle turned his head at the sound of a little girl. Tess waved her arm. When Kyle was close enough Tess she let go of Evelyn's hand and Evelyn ran towards Kyle.
"Hey sweetie," Kyle picked Evelyn up in his arms and dropped his bags. "Where's Mommy?"
"She's coming," Tess made her way through the crowd.
"Here she is," Tess smiled and kissed Kyle. "How are you feeling?"
"Fine,"
"Are you sure? You shouldn't have come out here in your condition."
"I'm fine,"
"Okay,"
"I wanna go home,"
"Okay honey," Kyle put Evelyn down and grabbed her hand while taking his bag in the other.
"Ah," Tess grabbed her stomach.
"Tess? What's wrong?"
"I, I think its time,"
"What?"
"The baby,"
"Oh…come on," Kyle put his arm around Tess's back and still kept a hold of Evelyn as they walked to the car. "Start your breathing." Tess sat in the front seat as Kyle buckled Evelyn in the back. He then went to the front seat. "Are you breathing?"
"Yes I'm breathing!" she barked at him.
"Went through this last time," he muttered under his breath.
~I will
give you everything. There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do, to insure
your happiness. I cherish every part of you 'cause without you beside me I
can't survive. Don't want to try if you're keeping me warm each and every
night, I'll be alright, because I need you in my life. Thank God I found you, I
was lost without you. My every wish and every dream somehow became reality.
When you brought the sunlight completed my whole life. I'm overwhelmed with
gratitude my baby I'm so thankful I found you. ~
HOSPITAL
Tess sat on the bed as Kyle was coming back in.
"Where's Evelyn?" Tess asked threw pain and sweat.
"My dad is watching her,"
"Okay Mrs. Valenti we need you to push now,"
"No, can't this one stay in?" Tess complained.
"Come on,"
"Okay," Kyle immediately grabbed her hand.
"Push,"
Tess squinted her eyes and obeyed. "Ahhh!"
"One more time,"
"No,"
"Come on Tess, you're almost there,"
"Okay, last time,"
"Push,"
"Ahhh!"
~See I
was so desolate before you came to me. Looking back I guess it shows that we
were destined to shine. After the rain to appreciate the gift of what we have.
And I'd go through it all over again to be able to feel this way. Thank God I
found you, I was lost without you. My every wish and every dream somehow became
reality. When you brought the sunlight completed my whole life. I'm overwhelmed
with gratitude my baby I'm so thankful I found you~
"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Valenti you have a new baby girl,"
Tess smiled as the doctor handed her the baby. "She's beautiful."
"She looks just like you,"
"She has your eyes,"
"Let me hold her," Tess handed the baby girl to Kyle. "Hey baby, I'm your dad. What are we gonna name her?"
~Thank
God I found you, I was lost without you. My every wish and every dream somehow
became reality. When you brought sunlight completed my whole life. I'm
overwhelmed with gratitude~
"Eden,"
"I like it,"
"What's her name?" the doctor asked.
"Eden Marie Valenti,"
The doctor wrote it down on the birth certificate.
"Mommy!" Evelyn was at the front door and ran to Tess.
"Hi sweetie," Tess ran her hand threw Evelyn's hair.
"Is that my baby sister?"
"Yeah,"
"What's her name?"
"Eden,"
"I like it,"
~My baby

"Me too baby," Kyle kissed Tess on the forehead as Evelyn climbed on the bed next to Tess.
