When Two Becomes Three Then Three becomes Four

"Push Fate, Push!" The doctor yelled as Fate began giving labor to the new addition to there family.

"I'm Trying." Shes creamed back exhausted. She had been in labor 8 hours now. And although Stephen had never left her side, giving birth was not as easy as she had hoped.

"It's okay baby...you are doing great!" Stephen exclaimed, his face beaming.

"OK! Just one more big push...and...that's it! Great Job Mama, you have just giving birth to a beautiful baby girl."

Anna Lynn Hamilton was born at 8:00am on September 20th 1986. She was six pounds and two ounces in weight. And 18 inches long. Her mother and father were so excited to meet her and hold her.

Fate was amazed at how beautiful little baby Anna Lynn was. She looked just like her. Pale skin, blonde hair, big blue eyes, she even had her nose. They stayed at the hospital for three days until finally they were able to take her home.

Fate had spent months with Stephen decorating and getting her room just right. She wanted her baby girl to feel just like a princess, so she had a beautiful room with a purple long canopy hanging over her crib. They also had a little bassinet for when she first got home in their room so she could sleep near them for the first few months. And the whole house was filled with toys and little play things for her.

Fate decided she would like to go ahead and breastfeed little Anna Lynn. That was an amazing bond she loved and created, but it would be hard on Fate for the first few months, for breastfeeding takes a lot of patience and getting up at weird hours when the baby awakes hungry.

Stephen had to go back to work immediately after they got home from the hospital, but Fate stayed home with Anna Lynn. She would record on her phone and take pictures and send them to Stephen while he was gone, of every little moment he missed while at work.

For six weeks they were not able to have any sex. This was because she was still so fertile. But when that six week mark came around. They were like teenagers again and Stephen he just couldn't keep his hands off Fate.

Anna grew as well as any baby does, at first she slept most of the time, and so Fate could use that time to clean, cook, and exercise. She wanted to lose her baby weight she had gained only 30 extra pounds while carrying Anna so she hoped she could lose it quickly with all the running around she was to be doing.

She quickly grew and before they knew it she was crawling. Then soon after she was walking and then saying her very first word which was 'Mama' then 'dada'. Fate never missed a moment of it and she loved every minute of staying home and taking care of Anna Lynn. They would laugh together, sing together, read together and even dance together as she grew.

Stephen would get home around five every evening from work and they would eat dinner, walk around the block with Anna Lynn in the stroller, and then they would put on a nightly movie. They did this every night. And then they would go to bed. Anna moved out of her bassinet into her crib at the age of six months. So they got to enjoy their nights resting privately and making love almost every single night. Thankfully, Fate had gotten on birth control so they were protected from having another baby until they decided or wanted to do so.

They had Anna Lynn, and she was truly there everything. She grew up very spoiled at first until suddenly something began to change.

Her mother begin getting fatter and fatter, her tummy just kept growing, but Anna being only two years old didn't think anything of it. Until one night mommy and daddy came into her room. To tell her a big surprise. First they sang her their lullaby and said Fate said a prayer. Then they ticked her in tight, and both sat down on the bed one on each side.
