15 Years Ago

The white, fluttery, dots of white landed gently upon the pavement. One after another. It was now December in the City of Cambridge, England . They were already in their second month of Winter, the cold even colder and nippier than it should be. It was honestly hell when Cambridge got cold, but on this certain date, it was as warm as it could get.

In a large Mansion, laid a very prosperous and happy couple. The Anderson's. Their family was large in members and in friends, and exceeded in many ways. Today, was probably the best day of their life, but would slowly turn to their worst.

"One more push!" My wife screamed, gripping my hand so hard it was turning white. "You're doing amazing love." I whispered to her, kissing her on her head. "This is all your fault!" She screamed out, her eyes tightly shut in pain. "You're lucky if I leave your dick attached to your body!" She growled out, and then sighed in relief. The gentle sounds of a baby crying filled the small hospital room. "What will we name her love?" I whispered, stroking the sweaty hair out of her face. We had names planned ahead of time, but it came down to choosing in the spur of the moment.
"I was thinking Brielle. Brielle Anderson." My heart swelled at the name. "It's perfect." I whispered, tears gathering together. I watched as the Doctor handed the nurse my baby, and whisked her away to get her cleaned. "You have a beautiful daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson." The Doctor, Grayson Moore, congratulated.

"Thank you." I said with a proud smile. Grayson nodded, and then turned around at the sound of a door opening. The nurse came back in, a white, fuzzy blanket with a bundle of love in it, laid gently in her arms. She walked over to Meagan , and laid her in her arms. "She's very beautiful, congratulations." The nurse, whose name was Elle said, a warm smile gracing her lips.
I nod in appreciation, and turned to my wife who had tears, sliding down her cheeks in joy.

I was consumed in the love I had for the two, I failed to notice the doctor and nurse leaving.
Meagan moved the blanket away from my baby's face, watching as she scrunched up her nose, and then slowly opened her eyes.
"Beautiful." I whispered. In my eyes, she was a God given gift. Literally. She had my eyes. A light gray, or a silver if you please. "I can tell, she'll have your beauty." I smiled, a lone tear crawling. it's way down my cheek. "Bring the boys in." My wife whispered, a finger running down Brielle cheek.

The baby gurgled, and then closed her eyes. Her eyes crinkling as if she was smiling. I laughed, and then walked out of the small, but spacious hospital room and into the waiting lounge where my six sons all sat in a chair. Some laid on their elder brothers in exhaustion, while others peacefully slept. I walked over to them and crouched down so I was at eye level with them. I shook the ones who were asleep awake so they could hear what I had to say. "Okay, boys. Ready to meet your baby sister?" I asked. All their eyes widened in excitement and nodded. I stood up and motioned for them to follow me. I stepped into the room, and watched as all my boys filled in, one by one. William, who was fourteen at the time, stepped up first. "Here you go." Meagan whispered, gently setting Brielle in his arms. "Hi there."

He cooed waving his finger in front of her. Brielle somehow, wiggled her arm out, and grasped it. She then pulled it to her mouth and gently sucked on it. William laughed, a tear falling from his eye.

"Okay, my turn." Emmet, who was thirteen, whispered, gently taking her from William. "Hi baby." He whispered, giving her an Eskimo kiss as she gurgled once more, making a smile appear on all of our faces. "You, my little one," Emmet whispered, "Are never allowed to date. You don't need a man when you have us."

My heart swelled at how well our boys acted with her. I turned to Meagan who had a hand on her chest and a smile on her face.
"We raised amazing kids." I whispered in her ear, making her giggle and nod.
