Summary: Day 6: "We should have done this a long time ago." + fluff
Author's Note: #911DispatchersWeek2020. Super short, but here it is.
Grace couldn't believe that the day was finally here.
She was finally going to hold her baby in her arms for the first time.
And she had never been more excited.
And scared.
She was definitely scared.
She had heard one too many horror stories about labor and delivery to remain calm during this time.
But she knew the end result would be worth it.
And it had been.
Because after only four hours of labor and six pushes little Harlow Jane Ryder came into the world screaming and kicking and carrying on.
She was the spitting image of her daddy if you asked Grace, except for the hair of black curls, those, those were all her.
And as she cradled her daughter against her chest she couldn't believe how lucky she was.
"We should have done this a long time ago." Judd's whispered voice broke her from her thoughts and she turned to look at him from her place in the hospital bed.
"I've been trying to tell you that, but Lord knows you don't listen to me." It's not like they hadn't wanted kids.
No, rather, she had made it clear from the start of their relationship that she wanted nothing more than to be a mother.
And they had tried, Lord had they tried.
But it just hadn't been the right time.
Until now.
And she was glad that they had waited because the little bundle in her arms was more perfect than she could ever imagine.
