The morning sun streamed through the windows as Austin sat down at the kitchen table with Ashley, a cup of coffee in his hand. He had something important to discuss with his sister, something he hoped would mean as much to her as it did to him.
"Hey, Ash," Austin began, his voice gentle. "I have something to ask you."
Ashley looked up from her own coffee, curiosity in her eyes. "Sure, Austin. What's on your mind?"
Austin took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Lizzy and I have been talking a lot since Lorelei was born. We’ve been thinking about her future and the people we want to be part of her life, guiding and supporting her."
Ashley nodded, her interest piqued. "That sounds important. What are you getting at?"
Austin reached across the table, taking Ashley’s hand in his. "We were wondering if you would like to be Lorelei's godmother."
Ashley's eyes widened, and for a moment, she was speechless. Tears of joy filled her eyes as she processed what her brother had just said.
"Really?" she asked, her voice choked with emotion. "You want me to be her godmother?"
Austin nodded, a warm smile on his face. "Yes, really. We couldn’t think of anyone better. You’ve always been there for me, and I know you'll be there for Lorelei too. It would mean the world to us."
Overcome with emotion, Ashley threw her arms around Austin, hugging him tightly. "I would be honored," she said, her voice trembling. "Thank you so much for trusting me with this. I love her so much already."
Austin hugged her back, feeling a deep sense of relief and happiness. "We knew you’d be perfect for this, Ash. You’re going to be an amazing godmother."
They spent the rest of the morning talking about their hopes and dreams for Lorelei’s future. Ashley couldn’t wait to spoil her goddaughter and be a part of every milestone in her life. It was another beautiful chapter in their family’s story, one that brought them even closer together.
Later that day, when Lizzy joined them, the three of them celebrated with hugs and laughter, toasting to the newest addition to their family and the special bond they all shared. Ashley felt honored and excited about her new role, knowing that she would always be there to support and love Lorelei, just as she had always supported and loved Austin.
