Autumn
____________________

I wake up in the middle of the night when it happens. I just know that it is the moment we've waited for for so long, my water broke. In a panic I wake Winter up, we get dressed and get in the car to the hospital. Whilst we are going to the hospital I keep screaming out of pain. Winter looks at me with frustration that he can't help me. "It's going to be alright my love." He says as he takes me hand and I squeeze it as hard as possible.

We arrive at the hostpital and we go into a delivery room. Whilst I am getting ready to give birth Winter is calling his parents and Reece to come to the hospital. When I am ready I grab a hold of Winters hand again and the doctors are telling me to push. After about an hour after I started pushing our beatiful girl comes to life. I get to hold her for the first time ever and I start to tear up and so does Winter at the sight of our lovely baby girl. "Have you decided a name already?" The doctor asked us and Winter replies. "We are going to name her Ember." Marjorie was suprised  by the name they picked out but didn't make a comment. "It represents a fiery and passionate spirit." Autumn speaks up. "Awhhhhhh." Marjorie  says all sentimentat over the deeper meaning of that name. Winters panrets held Ember aswell after Winter did, then Marjorie and Reece got to hold her too.

That night was the first completly sleepless night. I laid Ember down in the cot but the moment she was out of my touch she started crying. I picked her up again and started rocking Ember in my arms. I rubbed my eyes because I was tired and wanted to get to sleep because it was about 4 AM but Ember continued on crying. As Autumn walked back in the room as she had just changed into her sleeping shirt she took Ember into her arms and Started rocking her whilst singing a lullaby to her. "Twinkle twinkle little star," As Autumn starts singing I slightly tear up at how beautiful her singing voice is. I never heard her sing and its honestly just jaw dropping. "How I wonder what you are. Up above the sky so high," Autumn goes on and I wipe the few tears off of my face. I hear Ember yawn softly as Autumn keeps on singing. "Like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is gone, when the nothing shines upon." Autumn puts Ember back in the cot and Ember doesn't start crying again. Autumns  soothing voice had calmed Ember down. Autumn keeps on singing to Ember as I change in to my night wear.

When Autumn finnishes the song I go up to her and give her a kiss on the cheek. "Darling, I didn't know you had such a beautiful singing voice." I say to her. I am still mesmorized from it all. "Oh thank you my sweet." Autumn says shyly, not wanting to admid that her voice is as great I believe it is. "Darling, could you please sing more often?" I ask her. She says yes to that request and we go to bed.

The first night with Ember is one of the most memerable nights of my life.
