Be My Forever [COMPLETE]

Chapter 56

I held onto Aria's hand during the appointment. It was the first time we were actually going to see the baby. Granted, it was probably the size of a bean, but I don't care. It's going to be our baby.

I could sense that Ezra was wanting to hold onto his wife's hand. I scooted back to Toby and held his instead.

Before I knew it, the baby appeared on the screen. It was tiny. I could barely see it at first, but when I finally found it, I couldn't take my eyes off the baby.

"Wow." I say, in absolute awe. I couldn't believe that that is our baby. All of it seemed so surreal. Like in a matter of seconds, I would wake up, having all this revealed to be a dream.

"Everything's looking good," the doctor said, writing a few things down and continuing to examine Aria, "keep it up, Mrs. Fitz."

Aria smiled, leaning in to give her husband a kiss. It made me happy, seeing her so in love.

When the doctor left, and Aria and Ezra prepared to leave, Toby leaned over and whispered to me.

"Are you sure you still want to do this?" Toby asked.

"Of course. Are you having second thoughts?" I joked.

Toby shook his head, laughed and then kissed me, after briefly rubbing our noses together.

I couldn't stop staring at the picture Aria had given me of the baby. I let myself think about our new life as parents.

Sure, babies are loud, they spit up, they are expensive, and overall, they're difficult to take care of. But it's so rewarding. Seeing your baby grow up and learn is the true beauty of it all. I've always wanted a baby, and now the moment is finally here. I'm looking at a picture of a baby that will soon be mine. I'll love it more than anything. I'll never neglect it, or mistreat it, or put anything before it.

I know I'll be the best mother to our baby, and I know Toby will make an excellent father.

I began to daydream. What will it look like? I'm so tired of calling the baby an "it". Will it be a boy or a girl? I secretly hoped we would have a boy, but I wouldn't mind if it is a girl. Either way, the baby is going to have Aria and Ezra's great features. It'll have beautiful, hazel-colored eyes like Aria, or it's eyes will be a deep blue color, like Ezra's.

But as long as it's happy and healthy, I'll be perfectly content.
