April 21st 1974

I woke up very early and got out of bed. I went over to Aidans crib straight away. He was awake squirming around. I picked him up and went to the bathroom to change him. When I came back Roger was sitting up in bed rubbing his eyes. "Good morning!" I said to him. "Morning." He replied. I handed Aidan to him. "Morning little man, what do you think of the house?" He asked. Aidan opened his mouth and then quickly closed it. "Yeah I agree." Said Roger laughing. We walked downstairs to get breakfast. I got an appointment in the post telling me to come to the hospital for Elly Mae at 12 o'clock. I hoped she was okay.

Roger got Aidans bottle ready while I got mine and his breakfast ready. We sat at the table to eat while Aidan sat in a bouncer we bought prior to his birth. It was the first time in a little while that Roger and I had some time to ourselves. "I'm very happy right now." He said out of the blue. "Random." I said laughing. "I am, I have a beautiful wife, beautiful children, great friends, a band that's actually going somewhere. Thank you god." He said. "You don't believe in God, you idiot." I said. "Oh yeah." "What would I do without you?" I asked. "You would be hopelessly lost wouldn't you?" Said Roger. I nodded, laughing. We put our dishes in the sink. I washed and Roger dried. At this point it was only 11.30. "I'm going to bath Aidan now." I said going to the bathroom. Roger followed me in. I filled the sink up a little bit with lukewarm water and put Aidan in. He really didn't like it. He started to cry as I washed his blond hair. I took him out and Roger dried him. Roger put Aidans clothes on while I got dressed. I put comfortable clothes on because my stomach was still sore. I took Aidan off Roger while he got dressed. It was like a system. When I brushed my hair and teeth, Roger held Aidan and likewise when Roger brushed his. I started to think about what it would be like when we had two babies to care for. It was now 11.45 and we decided to go to the hospital. We waited in the waiting room for Dr Hardy to come with Elly Mae's results. He came out at exactly 12 o'clock. "Mr and Mrs Taylor, how are you? Well from the results I've gathered that Elly Mae's lungs are fully developed and so are all of her other organs so she's free to go home." I looked at Roger and smiled while Dr Hardy went to go and get Elly Mae so we could bring her home. He brought her out and I nearly cried when I saw her. I held her and kissed her forehead. We left the hospital as finally, our full family. Me, Roger, Aidan and Elly Mae.
