Please read the author note on the bottom it explains the non update.

(Pic attached is Gracie Lynn Irwin)

It's been a long sixteen hours but Bella has finally had Gracie Lynn Irwin. She is so beautiful. If you were to tell me that I would be a grandmother this soon I wouldn't believe you. I watch as Bella holds her daughter and the smile that's on her face. "This is all we can ask for" I hear Ashton say and he wraps a arm around my shoulder "we did good didn't we" I start as I look up at him. "I mean we raised her to be the best she could be but what if this is her best? What if being Gracie's mom is what is supposed to happen? I mean yeah I wish it would of happened later in life but look at her". He sighs "we did the best we could. And yes I believe everyone has a purpose in life and hers is Gracie's where ours is each other and our kids" he turns me to face him.

I lean my forehead against his "I love you so much Ashton, I don't know where in life i'd be if I didn't have you" he smiles and pulls me closer for a kiss. As if on instinct I wrap my arms around his neck gently and kiss him. As we of kissing of course we hear someone clear their throat. "I really don't want to watch you two make out so can you please move out of the way so I see Bella and Gracie" we nod at Luke and move out of the way as we watch him walk through the door and as he does we burst out laughing. "Good to now I can still amuse you guys" we hear him yell causing us to laugh more.

After our laugh we walk in the hospital room hand in hand to our daughter and grandchild. I look around the room and see our entire family but it's saddening because my mother isn't here and I know how much she wanted to be. But I know she is here in spirit, just like my father. "Hey Bella how are you feeling" I ask her and she smiles up at me "I didn't know that I could love her this much or this fast" she's tells me and I smile back. "That the greatest moment of all, giving birth and seeing the baby the first time is the moment that counts, the moment you really connect" she looks back down at her baby "I love her so much, I didn't know I could love anyone as much as I love her" I walk over to her and give her a small side hug "I know baby I know, I felt it with all of you kids. But imagine me, the first time I got pregnant I had you and Dylan, I had the roughest pregnancy with you two but every pain was worth waking up and seeing your father holding you two" I look over at Ashton who has now walked to the other side of the bed "really because that was the first moment I truly knew that this was my life and I would not change it for a single second". I say as Dylan, while holding Dustin walks to the bed as does Sophia and we all do that awkward family hug thing but it works. I have my family and that's all that matters.

I want to explain the long awaited updated.

I was in the middle of updating this when was grandma was sent to the hospital for a foot infection so I completely forgot. Then once I did remember my entire broke out in hives and my hands were to swollen to do anything and they hurt so bad. And also, everyday I have to go to my grandma and clean up her house and give her her iv medicine. And also every time I try to type again I get interrupted but I finally gave you a little bit of what I wanted to post because you guys deserve it for waiting this long. Because I went back and checked when the last time I posted a chapter it was March 12th and so that means it's been a month. But anyways thanks for sticking around.

Love you guys, Jenni 👧🏻
