*Steph's P.O.V*
I laid there in the hospital room alone. I stared at the walls around me. I hate these places- they're just so plain. Jai and Beau had gone to get me food and everyone remained at home. I smiled to myself, proud of what I had just been through.
"Miss Fox?" I heard a gentle voice say as my Mid-Wife entered the room. I sat up slightly in my bed, "She's ready."
Tears burnt the rim of my eyes as the Mid-Wife brought a small baby into the room, wrapped up in a small blanket.
"Congratulations, she's beautiful." She said, placing the small baby on my chest. Oh my god, she looked just like Jai. I thanked the Mid-Wife and held my baby girl. I have only just found out what sex the baby is, because Jai and I wanted it to be a surprise. The Mid-Wife left, so it was me and the baby. My baby.
"Hello there." I whispered softly to the baby as I held her in my arms, "I'm your Mummy." More tears escaped my eyes, running down my cheeks- "oh my god, You're gorgeous."
As I adjusted the blanket around her shoulders, I saw Jai enter the room with a tray of food. When he saw I wasn't alone, he pushed the tray onto the table and swiftly walked towards the bed.
"Steph." He gasped lightly, "Is that... It's a... She's beautiful." Reaching down and using his thumb to stroke the baby's cheek. He smiled down at us, tears falling from his face. He used his sleeves to wipe them away. "May I?" I nodded and passed her over to Jai. He used one hand to support her bottom and the other on her back. She had her head rested on his shoulder and hung off his chest. She looked so small compared to Jai.
"What are we going to call her?" He asked, rocking back and forth slightly.
"I don't know, that is literally all I've been thinking about." I replied, watching Jai as he rocked her.
"I was thinking either Hannah or Lydia?" Jai suggested. I used my hands to cover my mouth. Even more tears escaped my eyes.
"Lydia is perfect." I whispered.
"Lydia Hellen Brooks." Jai said, looking down at the baby asleep on his chest. My head jolted so my gazed was back on Jai.
"Oh Jai." I sighed, kneeling up and kissing him. Hellen was my Mums name- and it's beautiful that Jai had that in mind, using her name as our child's middle name. He kissed me back, telling me to lay back down so he can hand Lydia back over.
"I'm going to get everyone. If that's okay?" He asked, getting excited. I nodded and he ran out the room.
"Lydia Hellen Brooks. Welcome to the world and good luck. These boys are crazy, but you'll learn to love them, just like I did. You've got Beau and Luke- they're your Uncles. James and Skip- they're your god fathers. And Gina, she's your grandma- she's absolutely lovely. And soon, you're going to grow up and be perfect- just like Daddy." I spoke to Lydia, but soon Jai came back in followed by everyone else. They all smiled, Beau and Gina released Afew tears and Daniel, I could tell, was keeping tears in.
"Everyone, meet Lydia Hellen Brooks, Lydia, this is everyone." Jai said, kissing Lydia's forehead.

That day was so magical. Having your baby girl grip your finger for the first time. Watching her open her eyes, revealing the chestnut colour of her eyes. Gina hasn't put her down since she got here and Beau hasn't stopped congratulating me. It will honestly be, the greatest day of your life.
Ever since that day, Jai moved in with me and the more I reflect on it- the more perfect I realise my life really is.

Lydia was crying from the room next door. We haven't got round to decorating it yet, so at the minute it's just bare white with furniture. My dry eyes opened, and I sighed. I rolled onto my side, ready to roll out the bed- when I felt Jai's large, warm hand grip my hip and roll me back round. His kissed my lips lightly and whispered "I'll get her." He got out the bed and left the room to go see Lydia. I smiled to myself as I watched Jai leave and I drifted to sleep after I heard her stop crying.
I reached my hand out in front of me, hoping to feel Jai. I was hoping to hold his wrist, lifting his arm up and over my head so I could lay my head down on his arm- I would then bring myself in closer, throwing one leg over his and rest my hand on his chest. I would do this every morning- he would wake up slightly, squeeze me and cuddle back, drifting back to sleep again. Nothing. I opened my eyes to see no one laying next to me. I sighed and rolled onto my back, trying to wake up more. I groaned as I rolled out the bed, on the hunt for Jai. I opened Lydia's bedroom door and saw an empty cot. I knitted my eyebrows slightly and rubbed my tired eye as I walked down the stairs, barely lifting my feet off the ground. I walked into the front room and, from my angle, I could only see the top of Jai's head- who was laying on the sofa. It was quiet. I walked over to him so I could see all of him. My heart melted. There, on the sofa, was my gorgeous boyfriend peacefully asleep, snoring ever so slightly through his nose... With our precious daughter laying gently and so fragile on his chest, also sleeping. Jais hand rested lightly on her bum and they both snored- Lydia's snores being more frequent than Jais. I took a photo of them and soon after posted it on Twitter, with the caption "So Perfect<3"- Not long after people were favouriting it, retweeting it, congratulating Jai and I, they told me how we were goals and they also told us how beautiful Lydia is. I smiled to myself and kissed Jai upon the forehead, making my way over to the kitchen and preparing breakfast for when they woke up.
