Labor sucks. But to hold that little bundle of soft skin wrapped in a pink blanket was worth the whole ordeal.

That pretty much sums up the five hours I was in labor.

I am just glad it wasn't longer then that. The doctors said I could've been in labor for over 14 hours. I don't think I would have been able to take 14 hours of that pain. And then every time I grimaced, Chad would practically scream. I swear I thought he was going to faint.

The early labor was probably brought on by stress (thanks to Chad.) The doctors said that she'd be okay though.

The early labor didn't seem to affect her much. She's smaller than a baby whose mother carried full term, though.

Chad didn't look like he was going to faint when he held her. He looked at her most lovingly. Then he handed her back to me.

I looked down at her face; she was fast asleep. I stroked her cheek lightly as she turned to my hand. I smiled lightly.

Then I looked up at Chad (who was sitting in a chair across from the hospital bed I was laying in).

"She doesn't have a name!" I exclaimed, not knowing how I could've forgotten something so important.

"Oh…umm, how about Dylan?" Chad asked.

"Chad!" I exclaimed.

"What?!" he asked.

"As in Chad Dylan Cooper?" I asked incredulously.

"What's the matter with that?" he asked curiously.

"We are not naming our daughter after you!"

"Is it really that bad to be named after awesomeness?"

"I guess not… but what does that have to do with naming our child after you?"

Chad just crossed his arms and frowned.

"How about Summer?" I asked.

"But she was born in winter…" Chad stated.

"It doesn't matter." I insisted.

"But then her name would be a lie." Chad said simply

"Fine then, how about Autumn?" I asked, getting irritated.

"But she wasn't born then either…" Chad stated again.

"Well it's closer."

"Fine."

"Good." Chad paused. Then continued to say, "I really do love that name, you know."

"I know." I smiled and looked back down at Autumn.

"Autumn Rose Munroe." I said trying the name out.

"What's the Rose for?" Chad asked.

"That's Tawnie's middle name." I stated simply. Chad nodded.

"Sonny," Chad started, changing the subject. "I at least want visitation rights with Autumn."

I sighed. "Chad…I just don't know…you are her father…and I want her to know her father…but how do I know you'll always be there for her? How do I know that the first time she behaves badly, you won't get tired of her and leave? What about when she is a teenager? Teenagers have attitudes! What happens when she smarts off at you? What if she says she hates you? Do you just leave and find something better?" I asked him. He seemed to seriously be mulling over the words I had just told him.

Then there was a knock at the door. The door opened and revealed Tawnie smiling over at me.

"Aunt Tawnie's here!" she staged whispered, seeing that Autumn was asleep.

"I can't believe I wasn't here for you! But the traffic was terrible, I was caught in a dead zone, and my stupid GPS stopped working! But I can't believe he was here "she said, pointing at Chad.

"Yeah…I didn't plan on it either." I said bluntly. For once, Chad didn't have a smart reply. I think he was still thinking about what I said.

Sorry it's so short! I promise I'll post soon! My life is so crazy right now.

THANK YOU, IMANIILLUSION! For the great idea about the summer/autumn/wrong time of year thing!

I think this story needed some fun, so it isn't depressing… (like the first chapter :C)
