"she's beautiful, ross, she has your nose and hair colour."

my mom has tears dripping down her cheeks as she held our little bundle of joy in her arms. laura was currently asleep and it was just the next day.

"i know." i smile, admiring my daughter myself.

the doctor comes in with a clipboard and checks up on laura, "we're gonna have to wake her up shortly so that she can eat."

i nod, brushing laura's hair out of her face, she was even pretty when she was asleep. i press my lips against her forehead and begin to hear soft sobs come from my moms arms.

"it's okay baby." my mom rocks her gently. "shhh."

"here mom, i've got it." i hold out my hands and take her into my arms, cradling her into my chest. i begin to hum as i slowly rock her back and fourth.

soon her little cries disappear and her eyes slowly began to close. i smile and place her into the incubator next to laura.

my mom dusts herself off and touches my arm lightly, "i think i'm gonna head home now, okay?"

i nod and wrap my arms around her. "thanks for coming mom. i'll shoot you a text later."

she smiles and pecks my cheek before exiting the room. from the corner of my eye, i see laura begin to squirm.

"ross?" she calls out groggily.

i rush to her side and grab her hand. "i'm here baby."

she smiles softly and slowly opens her eyes. "where is she?"

"next to you." i tell her, pointing to the incubator beside her. she turns her head and smiles at our sleeping baby girl.

just then, a doctor walks in with a pen and piece of paper. "it's time to collect a name for your baby."

laura and i both look at each other and she takes a deep breath. "rosalina mae lynch."

"thank you. what a beautiful name." the doctor shoots us a smile before he leaves the room.

"i can't wait to call her rosie." i smile.

laura and i wanted to stay in the R tradition, but to be honest we didn't like any other R name but rebecca, so we decided to come up with something less known, but call her rosie until she's an adult and wants to go by rosalina, if she ever does.

her little cries start acting up again and laura frowns, reaching for rosie in her incubator. "i think she's hungry."

i watch laura unbutton her shirt in order to breast feed rosie. i play with her tiny toes and admire how beautiful my daughter was, and how beautiful her mother was.

hours had seem to be flying by before we were told that laura and i could leave the hospital. i helped laura into the wheelchair and placed rosie into her arms as i push her out of the hospital with a nurse next to me.

when we've made it outside to the parking lot. i take rosie from her arms and buckle her into her car seat and help laura sit in the back seat to watch her. the nurse waves us off and takes the chair back inside with her, as i start the car.

once we got home, i carried everything inside and laura managed to carry rosie. we only had one more week in this apartment, and then we're moving into our home.

plopping everything down onto the couch. i grab my phone and text rydel, thanking her for keeping violet for a few days just so that we can get settled.

"you look tired ross. please get some sleep." laura whispers, gently placing rosie in her crib next to the couch.

i shake my head, even though i was. "no, you need some rest. i'll watch rosie."

laura chuckles and wraps her arms around my waist. "i'm going to watch a movie here on the couch. i'll watch her. please go get some sleep."

"are you sure?" i ask.

laura nods, placing a kiss on my lips. "i love you."

"i love you too." i grin, "please come get me if you need me."

i tiredly walk into our bedroom and shut the blinds to make the room dark. it was six in the evening so the sun was setting. i opened up my sock drawer to make sure the ring was still stuffed inside. i grin to myself when i jump into bed and close my eyes.

i have the perfect plan.
