Author's Note: Quick update for today. I might get another one up by Sunday but I'm going to be away so I might not be able to, so that's why I wanted to write this one. Enjoy!
Stiles couldn't believe he was holding his new daughter in his arms that his beautiful wife had just given him a few short hours ago. Lydia and the baby had gotten cleaned up and their parents had visited for a while, he was finally holding his daughter.
"Lydia, she's so beautiful." He said in complete awe of the little person in his arms.
"I know. I can't believe she's ours." Lydia commented looking over at her husband cradling the baby.
"Lydia, she has your hair color, and nose."
"She has your eyes though, look." She mentioned pointing to the brown orbs that were slightly open.
"She does, that's amazing."
"Stiles, she looks like you when you're tired." She giggled; she just had a feeling that their little girl was going to have the best qualities of both of them. She couldn't wait to see what other Stiles qualities she was going to have.
"I don't know though, Lyd, too me she looks more like you. So beautiful." He said rubbing his hand over his head, wanting to hold her forever. He felt so connected to her already, like he would do anything he had to for her. It was love as unconditional as the love he had for Lydia. He couldn't wait to see how that love would grow as she did too.
"Stop no she doesn't." She sheepishly remarked, slightly embarrassed.
"Seriously though, she does. I mean she looks like both of us, but she looks a lot like you Lydia." He said almost unable to tear his eyes away from her to compare to his wife. He didn't have to though, he had basically memorized everything he could about the way that she looked and how amazing she was to him.
"Well I hope only my good qualities were passed on." Stiles just gave her a look, basically telling her she was being ridiculous. She promptly changed the subject after the disapproving look. "So did we finally come to a conclusion on her name?" She asked racking her brain, trying to remember what they had decided on a few months before. Her brain had definitely gone through the pregnancy brain funk.
"Um…" Stiles tried thinking back to the same day, why couldn't he remember.
"Oh we decided on Cassidy for a girl, but no middle name." She frowned. "But I thought maybe we could use your mom's name for her middle name?" She asked delicately, it was never an easy topic to delve into.
He mused over the thought. "Cassidy Marie Stilinski. I like it, a lot."
"Yay, she finally has a middle name. It sounds so good and it means a lot too." She gushed, staring at her two favorite people next to her.
"Thank you, Lydia. It really means a lot to me." Stiles said, boring his eyes into Lydia's, then leaned over and kissed her, love fueling it.
"I'm happy to do it." She smiled as their parents knocked on the door and came in.
"Can we come in? We have some more visitors too." Lydia's mother asked as Lydia nodded allowing their entrance. Their parents, as well as Scott and Allison piled in the room.
"Lydia! Congratulations!" Allison squealed giving her a gentle hug, careful not to cause her any pain in her postpartum.
"Awe, thank you!" She smiled.
"Congrats, Lydia." Scott said, also leaning down to give her a quick congratulatory hug. "Stiles man, you're a dad now." He said in a stunned, yet excited tone.
"You'll be here soon enough Scott." Stiles replied.
"Don't make me second guess my choice in men Scott." Lydia joked.
"Aw Stiles, congratulations to you too." Allison said giving him a half hug, not wanting to squish the little one in his arms.
"Thanks Allison."
"Can I Scott hold her; I need to see what I'm going to be dealing with in a month or two."
"I don't know…I almost didn't allow Stiles to hold her." She stated reluctantly, resulting in rolling of the eyes from Stiles. "But I guess so." She finally allowed. Allison took the baby from Stiles, holding her for a few moments then handed her to Scott.
"Don't drop her, she's only a few hours old. I'll cut you." Lydia warned. The group laughed at the antics.
"So does she have a name yet?" Lydia's father asked a tad impatient.
"I think we did actually." Stiles said a smile on his face.
"Mhm, Cassidy Marie Stilinski." Lydia announced. Stiles' father was obviously touched by the gesture and even teared up a little, wiping his eyes before they could fall.
"It's a beautiful name." Allison smiled, resting her head on Scott's shoulder while he cradled the baby.
"It fits her. But I would never have guessed Stiles would make such a cute kid." Scott joked, the room laughed at Stiles' expense. Lydia kissed him on the cheek, assuring him that she did not feel his looks were a detriment to their daughter. A few minutes later a nurse walked in to check on Lydia and the baby.
"It's time for the baby to eat; we need everyone but the new father to give mom some space." She stated, prompting Scott to give the baby to Lydia, and everyone else bid goodbye to the small family. Stiles' dad stayed back for a moment and gave Lydia a hug.
"It means a lot that you gave her the middle name, to me and to Stiles, I'm sure. I just wanted to stay thank you." He whispered in her ear as she hugged back.
"It was my pleasure; I know she meant a lot to you two. I just wish I had the opportunity to get to know her." She told him and he nodded.
"Just thank you for that, and giving me such a beautiful granddaughter." He said as he also hugged his son.
"Ha-ha well it was my pleasure dad." Stiles joked, his dad smacking him on the head for ruining the moment. Even the nurse laughed slightly, Lydia rolled her eyes.
"Alright well on that note, I'll be leaving. Bye." He exited.
"Okay, mom are you ready to feed the baby for the first time?" The nurse asked as Lydia groaned slightly. "It's okay, that's' why I'm here. In case you need help." Lydia fed Cassidy as Stiles looked upon them, pride for his family swelling inside of him.
