Chapter One: Holding My Baby Girl

Well I never once

Backed down from a punch

Well I'd take it square on the chin

Well I found out fast

A bully's just that

You've got to stand up to him

So I didn't cry when I got a black eye

As bad as it hurt I'd just grinned

but when tough little boys grow up to be dads

they turn into big babies again

Mac's POV

When the doctor first handed my now clean and pronounced fully healthy little girl over to me I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest. As I looked at her it was hard for me to hold back the tears that were clouding my vision from fully seeing her, but when my eyes finally focused and I saw her for the first time she was truly breathtaking.

She looked so much like her mother it was unbelievable, okay well it was still tough to tell who she looked like more but she had her mother's soft light caramel hair and my blue eyes. She really was a beautiful baby.

I've never been a crier, I didn't really even cry much when my first wife Claire died in the 9/11 attack accept for at her funeral and occasionally when I would go visit her grave but as I held my little girl I couldn't help but cry. I've wanted children for so long that it just took me by surprise how wonderful it felt too finally after nine long months hold her, my little girl in my arms.
