Clean
Blair went into labor two weeks early. Tea was there to support her in the delivery room. After eight hours of intense pain, a beautiful baby girl had been born. The nurse cleaned the infant and placed her in Blair's waiting arms.
Blair held her daughter and cuddled her close as Tea smiled at them in complete adoration. "Welcome to the world, sweet little Gracie," Blair said to her new infant daughter.
"She's as beautiful as her mama," Tea said as John walked into the room to meet the precious baby girl.
John gave Blair a congratulatory kiss, then he rubbed Tea's swollen stomach. "So, Tea, when are you going to labor?" he asked the other mother of his child.
"Very soon, I think," Tea responded.
Blair's eyes glittered with happiness as she held baby Gracie against her breast. "Just wait till Sam meets his new little sister," she said as she kissed the baby's satiny cheek.
"The kids are going to be ecstatic," Tea agreed. With a heavy heart, she wondered what Victor would think. Ever since he had returned to Llanview, her life had been torn in two. As much as she loved Blair, she despised hurting Victor.
"Everything will be okay, Tea," Blair said as she gave her lover's hand a gentle squeeze. She, more than anyone, understood the pain in Tea's heart.
"All our dreams are coming true," Tea responded. It was true. They were so close to attaining everything, but she did not want for it to be at Victor's expense. She wanted him to be happy, too.
