Someday Soon

Chapter 23

Authors Note : The birth we've been waiting for. Stay tuned.

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamin'

I recall it all so clearly. The delivery room. The pain. I practically tore off Lucas's hand and arm from clinging to him so tightly.

Omce my hospital bag was in the car and i remembered my breathing from birthing classes.

Lucas drove us to the hospital.

I was met with my doctor. My hospital room all booked and waiting.

You were in a rush. You wanted to be in the world.

Lucas was by my side. Through the contractions and giving me an object to focus on. As i labored and tried to prepare myself for what was about to happen.

No time for drugs. You were on the way and i was ready to meet you. We both were.

I pushed for a few hours. It was such an out of body experience. The bright lights. The multi colored wallpaper.

The cots nearby.

The doctor shouted "Its a girl!"

As you were placed in my arms. Crying and moving around.

We locked eyes. I fell in love wiith you.

Blond hair hazel eyes.

Our Langston Penelope Davis Scott.

Before i could catch my breath. 10 minutes later another baby was in my arms.

A girl. We named you Morgan. Morgan Karen Davis Scott.

Unlike you're sister you had blue eyes and dark straight hair.
