Ariana lay nestled in the hospital bed, basking in the stillness of the room after the birth of her daughter, Y/n. Meanwhile, Dalton, her steadfast partner, ventured to the hospital cafeteria to ensure Ariana's comfort.
As Ariana's thoughts drifted, a soft whimper beckoned her attention—the unmistakable cry of her newborn princess. Slowly, she eased herself up, careful not to exacerbate her tender postpartum state, and made her way to Y/n's side.
"Hey there, my angel. Mama's here," Ariana whispered, cradling Y/n in a cocoon of love and warmth.
Y/n nestled closer, comforted by the familiarity of her mother's embrace. Ariana was so absorbed in marveling at her baby that she barely heard Dalton's quiet return, his arms encircling her gently.
"How's our little princess doing?" Dalton inquired, guiding Ariana back to her bedside.
"She's as perfect as ever," Ariana said with a soft smile, her fingers tenderly grazing Y/n's delicate cheek.
Their shared gaze brimmed with an unspoken affection as they watched their daughter stretch out contentedly on Ariana's lap. In a swift motion, Dalton captured the moment, seizing a picture for Ariana to share their joyous milestone.

In recent days, Y/n had discovered her tiny toes, joyously attempting to nibble on them while giggling playfully. However, Ariana noticed that when Y/n's toes were covered, her interest in them seemed to wane.
As Dalton finished a video call, Ariana and Y/n engaged in tummy time—a valiant effort that was momentarily disrupted by Y/n's discontent.
"Come on, sweetie," Ariana cooed, comforting Y/n as she lifted her distressed baby into her arms.
Dalton joined in, playfully trying to engage Y/n, marveling as she reached for her bare toes. "Look at her go," he chuckled, his eyes gleaming with paternal delight.

Lately, Y/n had been facing health challenges—recurring ear infections, stomach troubles, and discomfort—that deeply concerned Ariana and Dalton.
The day arrived for the Grande-Gomez family's hospital visit, seeking answers and relief for Y/n's ailments.
"It's alright, my love," Ariana murmured softly as she dressed Y/n in a cozy onesie, the warmth a soothing touch.
With gentle care, Ariana settled Y/n in her car seat, preparing for the journey to the hospital.
At the pediatrician's office, Ariana comforted Y/n while Dalton managed the paperwork. Together, they patiently awaited the doctor's insights.
"Y/n's ear tubes are causing the infections. Dairy might affect her stomach, but medication can help. We'll schedule her ear surgery," the doctor explained, evoking tears from Ariana, Dalton offering solace.
Through tears, Ariana found comfort in Dalton's embrace, acknowledging the challenging yet hopeful journey ahead for their beloved Y/n's well-being.
With prescriptions in hand and a plan for Y/n's surgery, Ariana and Dalton headed home, embracing the newfound clarity and hope for their beloved daughter.
