A few months later, Ashley went into labor. With the support of her midwife, Michael, and Emma, she decided to have a home birth. The family rallied around her, providing comfort and encouragement.

The labor was long, but Ashley remained strong. In the early hours of the morning, with the first light of dawn breaking through, she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.

"Welcome to the world, Robert Michael," Ashley whispered, cradling her son in her arms. The name was chosen with great care, honoring both her husband, Michael, and her brother, Austin, whose middle name was Robert.

Austin watched with tears in his eyes as he held his nephew for the first time. "He's perfect, Ash. I'm so proud of you."

Emma stood beside them, her heart swelling with love for her expanding family. "He's beautiful," she said softly. "You did an amazing job."

The weeks that followed were filled with joy as the family welcomed little Robert into their lives. Lori-Anne and Benny were thrilled to have a baby cousin to play with, and the farm was filled with the sounds of laughter and the happy chaos that comes with a growing family.
