She was absolutely beautiful.
Nick's brown eyes widened and a smile cut across his face as he looked at his daughter for the first time. She was the most beautiful thing in the world.
She had little brown curls upon her lightly tan skin. She had the cutest little button nose, and little chubby cheeks that she must have inherited from Kevin. If it wasn't for the fact that she was breathing, she could've made the most perfect porcelain doll ever.
"Do you want to hold her?" the nurse asked pulling Nick out of his thoughts.
"Can I?" He asked tentatively, he hadn't held a baby since Frankie was born almost 10 years ago.
The nurse picked up his daughter and gently placed her in his arms. "Don't forget to support her head," the nurse reminded him.
Nick looked at his daughter with a smile on his face, as his mind wondered how such a monster like her other father was could have helped make this incredible little being.
"She still needs a name," the nurse reminded him.
As Nick's mind ran through the names he had picked out when he was still captured, he counted her fingers and toes making sure she had all 20.
A flash made Nick look up, at a sheepish looking nurse holding a Polaroid camera. "Sorry, it was a Kodak moment." As she waved the picture so it would come in. "You just look so joyful holding her like that.
She then taped the picture onto the baby's incubator, with a smile before leaving the area.
Nick smiled down at his daughter as she blinked open her eyes. Little orbs of blue crystal staring back up at him in unfocused confusion.
Nick smiled at her before humming to himself, not even paying attention to what he was humming as he rocked his daughter.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" the nurse asked him as she passed him a bottle of formula.
Nick shook his head before placing the bottle at her mouth still humming. It was then he realized what he was humming and sang the words as he came to the chorus.
"Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do"
Then the perfect name came to Nick just as he stopped singing.
His daughter yawned as she fell back asleep as he whispered.
"Abigail Beth."
