Alex's POV

32 Weeks Pregnant

Laying down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn resting on my stomach, while watching The Phantom Of The Opera. I have been having what I believe is braxton hicks contractions and the occasional kick from my butterfly. I thought nothing of it and just forced back on my movie. After a short while the unwanted contractions started to become stronger and closer together. It's to early for her to come so I pushed it off again hoping that they would end.

It has been about an hour and Ezra has come down from his office to relax with me. He had his arms wrapped around my shoulder and my head leaning on him. Another contraction started and all Ezra could do was to start freaking out. "It's fine, it's nothing," I told him which caused him to let out a small sigh.

"What if she decides she wants to come right now," he said with a small sign of worry on his face.

"Well we are just going to have to watch, it's to early for her to come though so it probably won't be for a long time," he nodded and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I could tell that he was still worried about me but we just went back to watching T.V..

It was only a short few minutes later a stronger contraction had started causing my breathing to become hitched. "Okay no something is wrong I am calling the doctor," he said as he walked out of the living room and I could hear him talking to someone over the phone. He re entered the room and walked over to me and picked me up as if I was as light as a feather. Carrying me into the guest room where everything from all my doctor's appointments had been kept. He laid me down and walked of the room. It was a few minutes later when he walked back into the room with Dr.Lee, the same lady who had been checking up on me, and I could feel what felt like I just peed.

"Well it looks like I have made it just in time," Dr.Lee says and she begins to walk closer to me.

Time Skip

I have been laying in this stupid bed for thirty hours and of course Ezra hasn't left my side the whole time trying to help me through the constant pain. Dr.Lee would come in about every hour and check how I was doing, and last time she came in she said that it was finally time for me to start pushing. Well once I started to push it felt like my insides where being ripped in half.

"You have got this my star. Just one more big push and she is going to be here in your arms," Ezra said as he squeezed my hand and used his other hand to wipe the sweat off my forehead. I held my breath like before and forced my weak body to give one more push. Right as I let go I could hear the doctor say that she is here. A small body was placed on mine, I looked down and saw a head full of black hair and eyes closed tightly. She was absolutely beautiful. She was pulled off of me as I again had to push something about of me. The whole time I watched the corner to see a group of people in the corner of the room surrounding my small butterfly. A loud cry was heard causing me to let out a small tear wanting my baby in my arms.

    Once I was finally done my butterfly was placed back into my arms and Ezra was sitting right next to me with one of his fingers rubbing her cheek

Once I was finally done my butterfly was placed back into my arms and Ezra was sitting right next to me with one of his fingers rubbing her cheek. "You did amazing my star, she is so perfect," he said as he placed a kiss on my cheek. "My parents will be over soon my love to meet their only grandchild." I nodded and kept my focus on the small form in my arms. I am still shocked that she was actually in me, of course I knew that she was in there but she is just so perfect. I promise that I am going to keep her safe in this messed up world.

My thoughts were ripped out of my head when the door was opened to reveal his mother and father standing in the doorway. His mother walked over to the bed and sat down at the foot of the bed, looking at the sleeping baby girl in my arms. "She is so small compared to what her father was, but she is still perfect," she said as his father come and stood behind his wife. "And does this small little one have a name?" she asked as I looked up at Ezra to see his mouth start to move.

"We have decided to call her Estella Grace Torres," he says as he looks down at both of us with a smile on his face and placed his large hand on the top of her small head.
