1987

1987 was obviously the year that GNR dropped their first official debut album, and it was also the year that you gave birth to you and Slash’s first child. You gave birth to a little girl who was basically Slash’s twin. From his eye color, facial features, just everything. She also cried less when he was the one holding her. It had officially been a month since she had been born. Unfortunately though, you had a major case of Post partum depression. You thought that you were going to avoid it, and even made a promise to yourself back when you were pregnant thag you weren’t going to get it, but life had other plans for you.

Lately you had just been…off. Your whole energy had been off and you had just been having major mood swings. Slash noticed this, but didn’t think too much of it, and just gave you your space when you asked for it. Though, as time went on, your dad feelings had gotten stronger and stronger and harder to ignore. You chose not to say anything to him, because you thought that it would go away, but you were wrong. All of this was apart of being a first time mom, and you just had to get used to it.

One night while you were cooking dinner, you couldn’t help but start crying to yourself. Slash on the other hand was in the other room, playing with the baby and getting the swing of being a first time dad himself, and to a girl at that. He did think that it would be a good idea to check on you, since he noticed that you just hadn’t been acting the same lately. He set the baby down in her crib that was in the living room and made his way to the kitchen where you were. Your back was turned to him but he could still hear the sounds of you softly sobbing. He came up behind you and wrapped his arms around you from behind, and set his chin on your shoulder.

Slash: Baby what’s wrong? For the past few weeks you haven’t been acting like yourself.

He asked in his usual calm tone. He didn’t want to push the envelope too much, because lately when he asked you what was wrong, you’d either start to cry or snap on him. He figured that you couldn’t be on your period or anything like that because you’ve been acting like this for the past two weeks. The last guess that he could’ve possibly had was post partum. He really didn’t know too much about it, he just heard it a couple times in his life and that was it. You on the other hand was learning more and more about it as the days went on.
