my life with you {cheryl tweedy}

(A/N: Oh, I love this song.  Such island and holiday vibes.)

"Are you excited for your birthday tomorrow?" I asked Mel as we laid down in me bed. She asked to come to have cuddles with us before she goes back to her own bungalow.

"Yeah!" She rejoiced and moved closer to us, getting further into the cuddle. Mel laid her head on me chest and tangled her legs with me own. I fell deep into the cuddle, wishing I could spend every second of me life like this.

Life these days seems to be all about having a partner, looking like a supermodel and being perfect compared to society. I just want to be with me Mel and never have to wear makeup and not care about social media at all. Unfortunately for us, social media is a massive part of me job.

"We're gonna do everything you want and a few surprises along the way." I hinted to Melanie that Kimba, Nic and I have planned a few little fun surprises. It will be a birthday Melanie will never forget.

"You didn't have to plan anything, Mamma." Melanie looked up at us and flashed one of her infamous pouts. I smiled and kissed her nose, knowing that I wouldn't be able to help meself if Mel told us not to plan anything.

"I know," I smirked and hugged her tightly. We leaned back further into the pillows and gave each other kisses and a lasting embrace. I don't want Mel to go back to her bungalow but there's a surprise in the morning, so she has to be in her own room.

I still think about the first time I met Melanie on each birthday that passes. I think about that day seventeen years ago and about how crazily fast time has gone by. I can't believe she's become a growing teenager. It felt like just yesterday that I was clutching on to her tiny, baby hand.

"Push!" The midwife urged me eighteen-year-old self to push again, making us wail out in pain. No one could have prepared us for this sort of pain.

"C'mon, Cheryl!" Mam encouraged, knowing that I'm strong enough. I know that me Mam wants to see that baby come out healthy and crying.

"One more!" The midwife said and I gave it one last good push. After a release of pain, I suddenly heard screeching cries and saw the midwife hold up me beautiful little girl.

The midwife handed the baby to a nurse to clean up as she finished with us. The baby girl was crying alongside us, seeing that I'm in intense physical pain. I looked over at the nurse and caught a glimpse of me little human - me own baby.

"Congratulations, it's a beautiful girl!" The nurse smiled and handed the baby straight to us. One of me tears fell on me baby's cheek, making us wipe it away.

"Hi, baby." I cried harder as I looked at me baby girl in me arms "It's your Mamma. I'm your Mamma." I quietly said and ran me index finger along me baby's cheek. When I kissed her cheek, the baby immediately stopped crying, finding me aura relaxing - the doctors looked as if they'd never seen anything like it. I cried hard as me baby put her hand on me face, seeking out me features.

"We should run her tests." The midwife took the now crying baby over to the changing table to check up on her. After running the normal procedures and seeing that she's healthy, they brought the baby back to Mam and me.

"Mamma loves you, baby. I promise to always love you." I quietly hushed me baby and soothed her out of her cries.

"Do you have a name?" Mam asked, still in awe of her baby granddaughter's beauty.
