Best Choice or Worst Mistake

Part 9

I had got a pain while lying on the couch with Mark. Shortly after my trousers got wet.Mark started to get panicky while driving me to the hospital.

"Are you okay? Are you sure you're going into labour now?"Mark said squeezing my hand with worry.

"Yes I'm sure. It can't just be the baby kicking, not with pain this bad!" I groaned. .

"Okay okay, don't worry it will be fine!" Mark said.

"I'm not worrying as much as you!" I said with a slight chuckle since the pain had dimmed down a bit.

"I'm not worried, I know you're strong enough to pull through this. I trust you" He smiled.

This guy. He always says the sweetest things, right when I need them.

"I don't know if I can do it" I said quietly

"Of course you can. I believe in you, so you should to" He said

We pulled up to the hospital and Mark helped me out of the car and into the building. They gave me a wheelchair to get to the room. I lay on the bed wishing this was just over, that I was at home with my baby girl and Mark.

The next few hours were a blur. There was pain, lots of pain. There was screaming and crying too but there was one thing that helped me through. Marks tight grip on my hand, it felt like he was never going to let go..... Because he won't.

When I woke up again it was more peaceful. There was quite gurgling and murmurs. I turned my head and saw Mark cradling a small pink bundle of blankets in his arms. He was cooing to the bundle and letting the little girl grab his little finger.

"How long was I out?" I asked with my raspy voice

Mark looked my direction and his eyes lit up "Look who's up Amelia"

He brought my daughter over as I sat up as best I could in bed. He placed Amelia in my arms and perched on the edge of the bed.

"She's perfect" I gasped quietly

Her little brown eyes were open and staring at me in awe. Her little hand reached up to try and grab my hand.

"She's got your eyes" I said softly

"She's got your everything else" He smiled softly

"You should get her in a vlog" I said. I knew he wanted to, everything has to have something to do with YouTube

"Not yet, when we get her home" He shook his head

I let her play with my hand a little bit before saying "Thank you Mark"

"For what?" He asked

"Being you" I said softly

"I thank you for giving me the most beautiful daughter in the world" He said

He kissed my forehead then Amelia's. Everything felt in place. I couldn't be happier.
