Everything went silent and then a baby was suddenly crying.

"She's here!" The doctor exclaimed.

She's here.

Finally.

Everything happened in slow motion.

Sophie's eyes moved from Nate's to the baby that was now being lifted towards her. She looked so tiny. And she was covered in god knows what. And as soon as she was placed on Sophie's chest, all she could feel was joy. And a sob came out of her mouth as she felt the tears pouring down her face. The nurses helped dry the baby off as she watched and then immediately cradled her, holding her close.

So tiny. So small. And so perfect.

"She's so tiny." She heard Nate say as he bent down towards them pressing a kiss to Sophie's forehead, "I'm so proud of you. She's finally here."

Sophie looked up to Nate and saw that he was full on sobbing, looking down at his two girls. She was so out of it and in awe of Mia that she didn't even notice that Nate had cut the umbilical cord, earning a pat on the back from the doctor. They adjusted her bed so she was only partially sitting up. And then they froze her in a few spots before starting to stitch her back up. Nate and Sophie looked at their daughter in awe. They were absolutely in love.

Eventually, the nurses showed her how to feed the baby. And luckily, she latched on right away and Sophie was surprised. She even got to do skin to skin with Mia for almost an hour before they proceeded with the rest of the  process.

They eventually weighed her and swaddled her up while Nate stood by Mia's side, watching the entire thing.

And he was quietly protecting her.

"7 pounds and 4 ounces. And she's 20 inches long." The nurse said as she smiled up at Nate.

"How many stitches do I have?" Sophie asked hesitantly as the doctor sighed.

"You had a second degree tear, which is normal for first time moms. I think I used about 12 stitches for you."

"Okay." Sophie grimaced.

She didn't want to think about that right now, she just wanted to focus on Mia.

"Here you go, dad." One of the nurses said as they handed her off to Nate, who stood in one spot, holding his baby girl.

Dad?

Dad.

Holy shit.

She felt so tiny in his arms. And to Sophie, she looked like a small Barbie Doll compared to him. Nate looked up at Sophie, who gave him a small smile.
