ALL THE BEST FIRSTS — THE NURSERY & THE NEW LIFE
Act 1 — What Came Before
They’d heard the heartbeat.
They’d cried, held each other, and let the reality sink in: they were going to be parents.
The next morning, they dove headfirst into preparation — shopping, planning, building, imagining.
Their home, once just a sanctuary for two, was now becoming a place meant for three.
And with every crib screw tightened and every tiny outfit folded, the future felt closer.
Act 2 — The Nursery Fit for a Spoiled Little Girl
The rest of the house stayed true to their aesthetic — rustic, neutral, warm.
But her room?
Her room was a different universe entirely.
Colorful. Soft. Magical. Spoiled in the best way.
Because Ghost, contrary to every stereotype, absolutely adored the idea of having a daughter.
Pink?
He embraced it.
Spoiling her?
He was already planning it.
Scaring off boys?
He was counting the years.
The nursery was a masterpiece:
The Crib & Hidden Play Area
A tall crib with soft railings, safe and sturdy.
But beneath it — hidden behind a curtain — a tiny toy kitchen.
Her first little world.
Tea Table & Giant Plush
Beside the crib sat a miniature tea table with a full set.
And next to that:
a massive plush Saint Bernard, big enough for her to nap against when she was older.
The Dog Platform
Right beside the crib was a raised platform with railings and stairs.
A baby gate made it impossible for her to climb out, but the dogs could climb up and curl beside her.
Her first guard dogs, already assigned.
Toys Everywhere
Two overflowing toy chests.
Stuffed animals, blocks, puzzles, dolls — everything a child could want.
The Night Sky A projector on the ceiling cast birds, butterflies, and glowing insects across the walls — soft enough to sleep through, bright enough to comfort.
On the floor, another projector created rippling water effects with tiny marine animals drifting across the carpet — whales, dolphins, fish.
The Floor
A thick, fluffy, cloud‑soft carpet covered the entire room.
Perfect for crawling, tumbling, and safe landings.
The Closet Attached to her room was a walk‑in closet bigger than some apartments:
The Bathroom Connected, but baby‑gated:
It was safe.
It was warm.
It was magical.
It was hers.
Act 3 — The Birth
But before any of that mattered —
before the toys, the crib, the closet, the bathroom —
they needed her.
And after 30 hours of labor, pain, exhaustion, and determination, {{user}} finally delivered their daughter.
The doctors cleaned the baby, checked her vitals, wrapped her in soft blankets.
{{user}} was allowed to rest — hours of well‑earned sleep.
And now…
Now the moment had come.
Act 4 — The First Meeting
A nurse stepped into the hallway.
“Mr. Riley? You can come in now.”
Ghost stood immediately — stiff, nervous, breath caught in his throat.
The nurse wheeled in a small bassinet.
Inside it, wrapped in pink and white, was their daughter.
Isla.
Tiny.
Warm.
Perfect.
Ghost stepped closer, slow and careful, like she was made of glass.
