Love story

"SUPRISE!" Everyone shouted as Spencer walked into the room, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the baby! She looked at me, grinning.
"You did this?" She looked as though she was about to cry- her hormones had been all over the place recently.
"I had a little help," I grinned turning to face the four girls that Spencer called her best friends.
"So... Can we see her?" Ali said and Spencer handed her the baby. The room was decorated with multicoloured streamers and there was a huge banner on one of the walls.

'Welcome home Poppy,'

It read. The girls must have made it whilst we were at the hospital. Spencer leant her head against my shoulder as the girls all grinned, pulled funny faces and took turns holding our beautiful baby.
"Guys I think I may have to steal my daughter away, I think she needs to sleep," Spencer said as Hanna handed the baby, who was wrapped in a soft pale pink blanket, back to Spencer.
"She is just the cutest." Someone said, I think it was Emily.

"You guys can take a seat we'll be back in just a minute," I smiled as I followed Spencer into the room that we had decorated for Poppy. I watched her place the baby in her cot and I stood at her side with my arm around her, then I looked down at our perfect daughter. She was so tiny, her soft pink skin and little button nose made my heart melt.

...and they still do.
