I have never been in a delivery room much less see a child born but when Summer came out I was in awe of Sunny and how strong she is to have done this.
Sunny is crying and I'm crying and well so is Summer. She is a beautiful baby with a lot of brown hair.
"She's so beautiful Sunny!" I smile through tears.
"Thank you for being with me Morgan and I'm sorry if I was mean to you before she comes out." She said.
"Oh it's ok I know you were miserable and I understand." I smile.
I decide to send Trace a text even though it's 4 am to tell him that Summer is now here.
📱 Summer is here! She just arrived at 3:55 am and she's healthy and beautiful with lots of hair. I'll send you a picture later.
📱 I'm glad that she's ok. Are you coming home soon? If so I'm in my apartment.
📱 I'm not sure but I'll let you know when I do.
📱 Alright, I'm going back to sleep. Love you!
📱 Love you too Trace.
"Trace wants to see the baby and I told him that I would take a pic for him once you are ready," I said.
"Oh, you can take one and send him now. I want to show her off." Sunny smiled.
"I'm glad she looks like you," I said taking the picture.
"Oh, I prayed she wouldn't look like Shawn." She laughed.
"How are you feeling down there?" I ask.
"Numb right now but I'm sure later it will hurt." She said.
"I have so much more appreciation for moms and what they go through to bring a baby into the world," I said.
"Do you ever want kids Morgan?" She asked.
"Oh, I don't know. I'm too young to even think about that now. I'm glad to have Trace back but that's not something we have talked about." I said.
She yawned... "Do you want to hold Summer?"
"I don't know how to hold a baby. Tell me how." I laugh.
"Support her head and that's about it. Hold her just like this." She said.
I was so scared but holding her just felt right. I couldn't help but smile at her. "She's so beautiful Sunny."
"I think you should head on home. They are going to teach me how to breastfeed and then hopefully we both will sleep." She said.
"As long as you are sure I will head on home and get some sleep," I said walking Summer back over and handing her to Sunny.
I hug her goodbye and head outside to my bike. I grab my phone and text Trace to let him know I'm on my way and he wants me to come to snuggle.
Once home I text mom on the elevator to tell her I won't be in today because I was at the hospital with Sunny and that she had Summer and I sent her a pic.
I unlock Trace's door and drop my jacket and backpack and walk to his bedroom. He was asleep in the bed and I took off my jeans and bra and leave everything else on and join him in bed.
He turned over and snuggled me and kissed my forehead. This is what I missed when he was away. I haven't withheld sex from him per se but I feel like this time around I don't want to jump into anything.
Watching Summer being born made me realize that maybe someday I want to be a mom but that definitely isn't today or tomorrow.
I close my eyes and doze off to sleep when I feel the bed move. I hear the shower turn on and I guess Trace is going to work in my place today.
I feel the bed dip and his lips on the side of my head. "I'm going to work at the shop, today babe."
"Thanks for covering for me Trace. I'm going to sleep here all day." I yawn.
"Ok text me when you get up. Love you, Morgan."
"I love you too Trace," I said going back to sleep.
I didn't wake back up until lunchtime and I decided to go to my apartment and get dressed and head down to work and have lunch with Trace and see if they need my help.
I get ready and head down to my bike. I pull in at the shop and it's busy of course. When I walk in Trace is tattooing some guy's arm in my area and I smile at him.
"Hey, mom! I figured I would come on in."
"I'm glad your here. Any more pics of Summer?" She asked.
"No just the one I sent you." I laughed.
"She's very cute! I want to buy her some things." Mom said.
"That's nice of you mom. I want to get her some things too. Maybe between me and you and Junie and Ivy, we can throw her a late baby shower. It's not like she has anyone." I said.
"Yeah, that would be great. We could have it at the house if you want to. Ivy loves throwing parties anyway." Mom said.
"That's true. Well, I'm going to take Trace to lunch, and then after I'll be back to work." I said.
"Sounds good sweetheart and it's good to see you happy again. I'm so thankful that Trace is back." She smiled.
"You and me both mom."
I walk over and look at the tattoo that Trace is finishing and it's like a half-robot face with a lion's mask being pulled off. "This is fantastic!"
"Thanks, I'm using your stuff and I hope you don't mind." Trace smiled.
"Of course I don't mind. Can I take a pic of it?" I ask.
"I don't care if he doesn't." Trace said.
"Nah I'm stoked it's so fucking good." The guy said.
Once Trace cleaned up we head across the road to grab some lunch together before back to shop for more tattoos.
