Chapter 32: Introducing Riley

June 12, 2006

4:00pm

I just finished feeding Riley when I heard voices coming down the hall. At about 10:00 a.m. we called the rest of our family and friends and told them that the baby was here and to visit anytime.

Just then we heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" I said as Gloria was the first to come in the room. She took one good look at the baby and started to cry.

"Oh Violet she's so beautiful! May I?" Gloria said crying.

"Sure," I said as I handed Riley to Gloria. Gloria sat down in a chair and studied the baby.

Just then Danny, Aaron, little Vi, Cammie, Keith, Joey, Paige, and Sarah came in. Cammie looked at the baby and started to cry too. Keith went over to me and Kevin.

"Looks like you've kept your part of our bargain. You two did a great job on her. She's gorgeous." Keith said.

"Thanks Keith, it means a lot," I said hugging him.

"Your welcome."

Soon Riley was getting passed around the room. When she got to Paige, Paige held her arms out and Danny put Riley in her arms. Sarah was sitting next to her and just stared at the baby with a big smile on her face.

"What's her name?" Paige asked.

"Well, her name is Riley, and her middle name happens to be your name," I said to Paige.

"Really? Cool! Thank you Auntie Vi! You're the best!" Paige said as she handed the baby to Sarah as she gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh, we almost forgot. Presents!" Keith said as he held up two big gift bags.

"Oh, you guys shouldn't have!" I said as Keith handed me one of the bags and I started to open it. Riley was going to be one spoiled rotten little girl, I was sure of it!

An hour later the first group of visitors left and as they were leaving Lil, Uncle John, Zoe, Rachel, Beth, Jacob, and Jackie came in.

"Hey Jersey your pop told us the news. Congratulations!" Lil said as she hugged me.

"Yeah, congrats kiddo. She's really beautiful," Uncle John said giving me a hug.

"Nice job, Jersey, nice job," Rachel said as Zoe nodded.

"Thanks guys. So, who wants to hold her first?" I said as Lil's hand went up. She came over and took the baby from me and sat down in a chair.

"Oh my you're a beautiful little girl. You'll make a fine coyote someday, just like your mother," Lil said to Riley, looking up at me and smiled.

"Tell me she's kidding," Kevin whispered to me.

"Of course she is, stop worrying," I told him as I smiled back.

Then the baby started getting passed around again. I hope she wasn't getting tired of getting passed around.

I opened more presents and soon the second round of visitors left. I handed the baby to Kevin and started to sleep as Kevin held the baby as he rocked her to sleep. He put her in the bassinet and laid down on the cot and went to sleep as well. All the visitors we had tired us out as well as being happy and excited about the baby's arrival. We were looking forward to being parents and watching our little girl grow up. We couldn't wait.
