"just one more push laura! come on you can do it!" i the doctor encouraged me. i took a deep breath, telling myself it'll all be over soon and i'll finally be able to meet my baby.

i pushed one more time, hard, squeezing ross's hand. i wouldn't be surprised if his hand went numb. ive been squeezing it for god knows how long. probably 15 hours?

"there we go" the doctor said, smiling. and the moment i heard those cries, my heart skipped a beat. i looked over to ross and saw his eyes tear up, just like mine.

"it's a girl" the doctor whispered looking at us "congrats. a healthy baby gir! and she's beautiful" he smiled, slowly handing her to me. tears rolled down my cheeks. i looked over to ross. "she's so precious" he whispered.

after a while, she calmed down, and i had to feed her. it was weird to me, since it was the first time of course.

ross just stared at her, probably not believing what was happening. because to be honest, i wasn't either.

"hey there baby girl" he whispered.

—

ross and i already discussed what we were gonna call her. bella. and her middle name is rose. bella rose lynch.

the nurse took her to get her cleaned up and i got some rest. after cleaning her up, they put her in the little bed next to mine. all the lynches and my family are currently here.

and obviously, ross got to cut the umbilical cord.

my mom and stormie are obviously very excited to finally have their first grandchild. they're both currently standing next to the little bed, just staring at bella and talking to each other.

honestly, all i want to do is sleep for days and days.

ross is sitting with his siblings and they're all just talking, including my dad and mark.

vanessa is sitting by the bed with me. "im glad i bought some pink stuff" i laughed. "sexism" vanessa laughed.

"you sure you don't wanna rest some more?" vanessa asks. "seriously vanessa? you want me to sleep with everyone here?" i raised my eyebrows, my eyes barely open.

she shrugged. i groaned. "that was the most pain i've ever felt in my life" then i looked over to bella "but it was worth it" i whispered.

my mom carefully picked her up "hey there baby bella" she smiled. i felt a smile creep upon my face. aw. "i'm your grandma" she smiled.

i looked over to ross and found him staring at me, smiling.

riker broke the eye contact when he stood in between us "you guys gonna come?" he asked his siblings. they all got up, saying goodbye. rydel came to me "mwah" she said, kissing my cheek. "didn't i tell you you'd make the most beautiful baby?" she whispered, smirking.

i giggled. they all left, including stormie and mark. "we better get going too, i'll see you later honey" my mom kissed my head before my dad and vanessa also said their goodbyes.

after they all left, ross sat in the chair that vanessa was seated in a few minutes ago. "that was exhausting." i sighed.

ross walked over to bella, slowly and gently picking her up and holding her, coming back to the chair.

she was quiet, just staring up at us. her eyes are a stunning mixture of green and blue. the blue from my mom, and the green of course from ross. she has the cutest little button nose, plumped pink lips, and the softest dirty blonde hair.

"she smells like heaven" ross states, chuckling. i chuckle along.

"we made that" i smiled up at ross. "we sure as hell did" he pecked my lips.
