Tattoo over my heart

Chris POV
8 months later

"You got this baby come on"
"Shut up Chris" she is bearing down so hard, she has been labour for so many hours and she is exhausted. This whole pregnancy has taken so much energy from her and I've felt so bad.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that" she says as she tears up.
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. Come on, you can do this. Let's get this baby out"
She pushes again and after a few minutes I hear those sweet cry's from our baby.

"It's a girl"
Harley cries as they place her on her chest, she has a head full of brown hair and I find myself crying too.
"She's beautiful Harley"
"She really is"
"Do we have name?"
Harley nods "Penelope Lisa Evans"
"Evans? Really?"
"Of course. Your her dad Chris"
I smile down at her and kiss her softly "I love you"
"I love you too"

After they clean penny up I sit down next to Harley and just hold her close.
"You did amazing Harley"
"Thank you"
"She beautiful, just like you. I can't believe shes actually here"
"I know. It's crazy. We are actually parents"
"We are, why don't you get some rest, I'll watch her"
"Okay"
I watch Harley drift off to sleep while I cradle our daughter in my arms. She's actually here and I can't believe it.

The last 8 months, Harley and I have been getting closer, we've been building from the ground up and really working hard on being the best version of our selves and it's been good, great even. The only thing I've not liked is that we are still living apart and now penny is here I don't know how that's going to work. I know we haven't been together long and we still have a lot to figure out but I don't want to miss out on anything with my daughter.

Harley POV

When I wake up I see Chris sitting down next to penny's crib, he is watching her like a hawk.
"She won't run away you know"
He chuckles "I know. I just can't stop looking at her"
He walks over to me and kisses my forehead "how you feeling?"
"Better. Thanks for letting me sleep"
"No worries. She will be awake soon for a feed"
He sits down next to me and sighs "everything okay Chris?"
"Yeah. I've just been thinking"

"About what?" I ask nervously
"I don't want to miss out on anything Harley, the sleepless night the dirty diapers any of it"
"Okay?"
"Move in with me"
"What?"
"You and penny move in with me please. I want to be a family Harley and we can't do that when your on the other side of Boston"
"You don't think it's rushing it?"
"Rushing. Harley we have a baby. I don't think there's any other way to rush this"
I can't help but giggle "okay"
"Okay?"
I nod "your right Chris, I love you and I don't want our daughter to miss out on time with you"

He smiles and kisses me softly "I love you too, both of you"
Right on que penny starts crying, Chris brings her to me and she latches on straight away. It's a weird feeling but it's amazing and I look down I awe of this beautiful baby girl who is making all of my dreams come true.
