    You look so tired and exhausted, and I know you are. I squeeze your hand reassuringly. "C'mon baby, one more,"

    I wipe the hot tears streaming down your face. "I-i...i c-cant..." You whimper.

    I kiss you on the forehead, " one more okay? Then I'll buy you the biggest burger we can find,"

    You smile weakly. Then you push one more time, and then I hear baby cries. I look over at her, "Aww, she's so...covered in blood..." I say feeling faint.

    The nurse chuckled as she finished cleaning her. She wrapped her in a blanket and said, "Here you go, Mama, a healthy baby girl,"

    You were crying as you took our daughter in your hands, "hi," you whispered. "Keagan, come here,"

    I touch my daughter small little hands. "What if I break her?" I ask half jokingly.

    "You're not gonna break her. Here," you hand her to me.

    "Hi," I smile.

    The nurse asks you her name, "Aelia Rose Williams," you answer, looking up at me smiling.

    I smile and look down at Aelia. But when she yawns, I lose it. Tears start to blur my vision, and my throat aches. "She's gorgeous, Brae,"

    "She looks like you," you smile.

    I sit down on the bed and hand you back our baby girl. I kiss her on her head and you on the lips. I lena my forehead against yours and close my eyes as i whisper, "You did so good, brae, so good,"
