*three months later*
I held her hand as she cried.
"Baby, it's okay, it'll be over before you know it," I say as the doctors rush in. A tear escapes my eyes seeing her in so much pain. It hurts knowing I can't heal it, all I can do is stare and wait for it to go away.
The doctors come as she keeps repeating the word "Push", Roni pushing her hardest, my hand still occupying hers. My fingers draw small circles on the back of it as I try to comfort her.
Roni suddenly relaxes as I hear the noise of a baby crying. I look at Roni, her eyes opening as I do so.
The nurses take the baby to clean him and everything, while I sit beside Roni as we wait for our baby to come back to us.
"He's here, in this world. Our baby," she whispers. I smile before wiping a tear off of her face.
The nurse comes back in the room, now with our clean baby. He's wrapped in a white blanket with blue and pink stripes.
She sets him in Roni's hands, me sitting beside her on the bed to get a better look at him.
He's so tiny, his beautiful hazel eyes so big and round, roaming around as he investigates the world he just entered. His face and small hands are red with sensitivity.
I take one of his hands in mine, his hand wrapping around my index finger. I look at Roni as she looks at me, her eyes are filled with love for this baby.
Her hand reaches over to the baby's face as she slightly tickles his chin, his lips forming a smile as she did so. His smile formed two deep dimples, a feature he got from his beautiful mother.
"Welcome to this world, Grant Bailey Dolan, I'm your mom, and he's your dad," she says, pointing at me. I look at her in shock.
"You decided to name him after me and Gray?" I ask her.
"Of course, his dad and uncle. I thought it was perfect," she says. "Do you not like it?"
"No, it is perfect," I say. "Just like you."
"Wow, smooth turtleman," she silently laughs. I smirk at her before joining in with her contagious laughter.
I can't believe I'm gonna be leaving her, leaving this beautiful baby that just entered my life.
Imagine him calling me dad, him looking up to me for help.
I can't stand that happening, I don't want his father to be a horrible influence on him.
I want him to look up to someone who is so much better than me, someone who can teach him the important aspects of life rather than someone who's still trying to figure them out.
I am trying to improve. I want to improve, for Grant.
But I can't risk hurting her.
Which is why it's necessary for me to leave this family and let a better man take over, that is how I ensure that they're happy.
I shake away the thoughts as I look at my beautiful baby again. His eyes are closed, one of his tiny hands still wrapped around my right index finger.
I try moving it, but Roni shushes me as she reaches for her phone. She takes a picture and types on it. As soon as she's done, she sets it on the side table again.
I get an Instagram notification that I've been tagged in a picture.
