My name is flin ever since i was a kid i have wanted to have a baby who i could give everything to. My wife katie and i have been trying for a baby for what seems to be forever today we got back from the ultra-sound with good news... "IM FINNALY PREGNANTE" Katie yells

The doctor looks at us and says "you can see here that you are going to have a little baby boy"

Katie and i look at eachother with a glisten in our eyes "i cant belive it is finally happening" i say with a smile wider then ever. I look at Katie and say "what do you want to name him?"
She looks back at me and replyed "i think we should name him Xavior" i look back with a complete sence of happiness and say "i think thats a perfect name"

We come home still shaking with excitement.a few days pass and everything seems normal after about a month she starts vomiting "morning sickness" i say to myself "i better take her to the hospital just to be safe" we get in my care i drive to prince charles hospital "our doctor looks like hes having a bad day" i think to myself so what do you think it is doc "well it seems to be just normal morning sickness" he replys "how far along is your pregnancy" the doctor says looking interested "8 months now" my wife katie responds

As we slowly move into the 9th and final month i winder to myself how good of a dad i will be "do you think the babys going to love me" i ask my wife "OH MY GOD OF COURSE" she replys acting goofy he will love you so so much at the moment she ends her sentence she starts gasping "baby i think hes coming my water just broke" i stand there confused and shocked "but you arent due for another week". i grab the keys to my car and begin to rush to the hospital blaring past all of the street signs next to the road. I pull up to the hospital and scream at the top of my lungs "I NEED A DOCTOR THE BABYS COMING NOW" we are rushed into the emergancy room "im here baby you will be ok" i say to her i stand next to her for hours as she goes through labour. Shes screaming and kicking i cant handle her pain i just want her to be ok i need her to be ok "push" i hear this over and over again it seems to echo in my ears "come one baby push"i say to reasure... everything is suddenly so quiet.

I hear the cries of our brand  new baby boy i look at my wife and beggin to cry "hes perfect" i say tears rushing down my face "can i hold him" Katie asks "of course "i reply i hand over our new baby and whipe the tears off my face.

I take a photo with my old analog camera and it prints out a solid photo i grab my marker and right best day ever on it. We write down on the birth certificate xavior jay clark as his name i still look at my wife and say "i love you so much and im going to do everything i can to make sure our baby is always happy" i give her a present that i have been hiding from her for a few months "her you go" i say "what is this?" She asks looking surprised "its a mug saying best mum ever" i say with a huge smile on my face.

She opens my gift up and smiles "you didnt have to baby" she says with an honest look on her face. I know i just thought you needed it you really deserve it she laughs i cant belive it is finally happening....
