Best Thing In My Life

Even with the epidural inside of my system, giving birth had to be one of the laborious things I had ever done in my lifetime. I was absolutely exhausted right now and I would've been fast asleep if it weren't for the incredibly beautiful little girl that I was holding in my arms at the moment. Just looking at her made me want to cry tears of happiness and I was surprised that I hadn't. 

Today, March twelfth of two-thousand-twelve was definitely the greatest days of my life. Kaelyn Olivia was hands down one of the best things to ever happen to me. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on and it was probably because she didn't look like me at all. The only thing we shared was facial structure. Other than that she looked just like Ironhide's holoform. She had an almost full head of dark brown hair, and her eyes were just as bright as his, if not a little bit duller. I found that to be strange though; Ratchet was far smarter than I knew him to be, but I didn't care. His experimentation had given me one of the best things that I could have possibly asked for in my life, without the exceptions of course.

I loved this little girl so much already and I would for the rest of my life. I had only been her mother for approximately an hour now, but being her mom was already the best job in the world. All the pain I had went through just to get her into the world didn't even matter to me anymore. The many months I spent throwing up because of her, the back aches she caused me, the feet swelling. .it had all been worth it and I would go through it a hundred more times just to have this moment with her forever. 

There was still only one downside to this, of course. I wished more than anything that Ironhide, my dad, Epps, and the rest of the Autobots could be here to meet her. It saddened me more than anything that she couldn't even meet her family and it also saddened me that they couldn't be here to meet her. I know that they'd love her the moment they laid their optics and their eyes on her. It was impossible not to love her and the fact that she was so different from your average baby made me love her even more. 

If you were paying attention, you could sense the difference in her little body. It was quite sturdy and slightly more heavy than your average newborn baby girl. All of us—aside from the nursing staff—knew that she was only half human, but aside from all of that, she acted just as any normal newborn baby would. She cried, she peed, she pooped, and she made those cute little noises that every baby made. It was the cutest thing in the world. 

With one last smile at her, I picked my head up and turned to look at a very anxious Carly. She, along with Sam and Leo stood at my bedside and they had been for the past ten minutes just waiting to hold her. Adalyn and Mikaela were too exhausted and wound up falling asleep the moment her little head made it's appearance. I couldn't be mad at them though; they needed the sleep and they would get to meet Kaelyn the moment they woke up. 

"She is so beautiful. I think I might cry," Carly squeaked. 

I chuckled. "Would you like to hold her, Carls?" 

She nearly squealed and I laughed again. "Yes, of course," she exclaimed. 

Carefully, I handed a sleeping Kaelyn off to Carly and she happily cuddled the child in her arms. I watched on with a smile as Carly played with her small fingers. Having a baby was still so surreal to me, but I honestly couldn't ask for anything better than this. 

"She's like a little mushroom," Leo laughed as he watched the exchange. 

I smiled and shook my head. "You have quite an eloquent way of describing things, Leo. Especially newborn babies."
