We'll need at least a lifetime...

Hello world!

It took her about one second to make sure her phone was stable on the counter in front of her, and it was showing the right frame and angle. Then, a satisfied sigh and the first smile for her fans as she was waiting for the viewer count to shoot up while the first comments were already flying in that made her chuckle.

„Hey everybody!", she greeted her fans, her voice even lower and raspier than usual, „I haven't slept much recently which is why my voice sounds like this... Hey, you guys! I'm so happy to see all of you! I know I've been somewhat MIA lately... I know, I see some of you writing: ‚Oh my God, I'm sure she had the baby!!'", she read that sentence out loud in a high pitched, excited voice, followed by her bass-y, dirty laugh.

„And you know what... you're right!", she announced solemnly, raising up her eyebrows and opening her mouth in pretend shock, „Whaaaat? I did!"

She placed her hand on her daughter's head, then looked down to place a gentle kiss on it, and many fans realized only now the fluffy hair peeking out of the neckline of her shirt. Reading all the excited comments, she was just silently hoping that none of her fans would be getting a heart attack right now.

„Today I'd like to introduce to y'all... my beautiful daughter... Marley Regina Parrilla", she beamed proudly into the camera of her phone, „Yes, it's a girl... We decided to name her Marley after Bob Marley, of course. Many of you may know that I absolutely adore him as an artist, and he and his music have played an important part in our relationship from the beginning. Also, of course, he's Jamaican and Jordane's Jamaican too... or well, his parents, so that part of her culture and heritage is honored by her name. And yes, her second name is Regina... I know! I gotta say, I wasn't fully on board with it at first because I always find it a bit odd if actors name their children after roles they have played. But Jordane really liked the name... I mean, it is a really nice name, right? And of course everything it represents, the name as well as the character, of course. I mean, it does mean ‚queen' in Italian, after all. And like that we also have my mom represented in her name because she's very much an Italian queen. And ‚Parrilla', of course, her last name, well, MY last name too... is my dad. So there you go, that's the meaning behind her full name... Thank you, we think it's really beautiful too. Of course she's cute, Oh my God, are you kidding? She's the absolute cutest little munchkin.

Right, some of you are saying that you can't see her face, the thing is, you guys, Jordane and I have agreed to keep her out of the internet... at least for now. Especially out of social media. I think you know that I have a bit of a complicated relationship with social media. And I can take a lot of hate that's being thrown at me directly, but just the thought that I post a picture of my girl and there's even just one person saying something mean and nasty in the comments...", she shook herself as a shiver ran down her spine, „I don't know... I don't know what I would do to be honest. I don't even want to... I can't even imagine.

But well, you can't see her face, but you can see her awesome hair", she chuckled as she gently pulled on one of Marley's tight curls, „I mean... I mean look at that", she ruffled through the rest of her hair, „I mean... it's not even... I don't even know what this is, you guys. It's curly, but then somehow it's also not... like, look at this one here, that's almost completely straight, it's just... standing up... Right, #badhairday someone's writing, actually though, believe it or not, this is a good hair day for her, I'm not kidding! But yeah, it's insane, I have no idea what to do with this hair, to be honest with you, but anyway... she's rocking it like the tiny queen that she is. So yes, this is her hair, and here you can see a little piece of her ear and her little cheek...

Who does she look like more? Oh well, THAT is a very good question, our mothers are debating that, to be honest, but it seems like, she's a pretty good mix between the both of us. Here you see she's a little darker than me, but she's definitely lighter than her dad, so she's pretty much right in the middle between the both of us in terms of skin color, which I think is really nice. She's like... when I'm really, really tanned, I look like this. And here you could see her tiny hand, only she's wearing her little mittens right now because we had a little scratching incident yesterday", she pouted, instantly feeling for her little girl again, „Yeah, I know... poor her. She hurt herself and then she got scared and she cried, and I cried with her because I felt so bad for her. Also I was thinking, you know, it took me nine months to make that cutesy face of hers, so I don't want it to get scratched right away, you know what I mean? Right, so...
