The beauty of life

C pov

a huge pain...followed by the strongest happiness i ever felt..i just gave birth.Shannon put my daughter in my arms and i felt this immediate connection with this tiny human being that i cried instantly..i never thought i could love so much.two minutes later,i'm still crying,looking at every single detail of this creature...i feel this incredible warmth surrounding me.. Shannon is sitting next to me,crying as well..we're both staring at our daughter  "she's so beautiful"  i tell her,trying to breathe through a pool of tears  "yes,she is"  she replies touching June's little hand.. "excuse me ladies,i have to take the baby upstairs,for the tests"  a nurse interrupts our moment,i raise my head to look at the woman..she smiles and leans over to take June but i don't move.. "umm,can i?"  she asks,i raise my eyebrows  "mm?"  "Cari,give her June"  i look at my girlfriend hesitant,she nods  "come on babygirl,she'll come back,i promise". i feel as my heart breaks into a million pieces seeing my baby crying into the nurse arms..my lips tremble,Shannon takes my hand  "hey baby,you've been so brave and great,i'm so proud"  she places a kiss on my forehead  "i want my daughter"    i reply   "we have to do some test,now i have to clean you Cari,ok?"   the doctor tells me,i nod and she smiles and adds  "you did an excellent job..the classes worked"  i just nod..i feel exhausted and i need to relax  "do i have to go out?"  Shannon asks,i grab her wrist  "No!don't leave me"  "actually,it's better she goes out while i do this thing,you know what i mean?"  the doctor says,i look at my girlfriend feeling in the verge of crying again..she smiles   "baby,i'll be in the hallway.plus,i wanna check if our friends are here". she kisses my head before going out.now that everything is over,i start feeling the birthing pain.the doctor stands up  "hey Cari,don't worry,you'll be good.when the baby will be here,you can feed her,okay?"   i nod and smile weakly..she gives me a kiss on the cheek  "i'm sure you're going to be great parents"  "about this,can you call my fiancee,please?"  "sure".

a minute later,the gorgeous brunette comes back into the room with a huge smile..i hold her hand and she presses her lips against mine,then we rest our forehead together   "i love you so much,you have no idea how"   she tells me   "i know...i feel this tremendous love for you and June i think i could burst".. the door opens again  "here,the baby's fine.you're the proud parents of an eight-pound baby"   the nurse tells us,making us smile   "you have to dress her up.i need you to sign the papers"  "of course.i'm taking the pajamas"  Shannon says..i can't see June 'cause she's inside of a pram but i can hear her whimpers  "ok,name of the baby?"  the guy asks me  "June Beveridge Fletcher"  "okay,names of the parents?"  "Cari Elise Fletcher.Shannon Nicole Beveridge"  "okay,now i need your signature". Shannon comes back with the little pajamas and i wanna cry again...she takes the papers and i look at them,waiting for my daughter  "ookay..now,i leave you alone.congratulations..your daughter is really beautiful,the whole department fell in love with this little miss"  i smile proud.when he exits,i tell Shannon  "dress her up..i wanna take her in my arms..i already miss her".  "hey little princess,how're you doing?i'm your mama..aww,you're so tiny"  Shannon tells our daughter taking her in her arms..the baby whimpers and moves..i enjoy the picture of my fiancee cradling our daughter  "hey,we got something for you..i think you'll look very cool in it.."  she keeps speaking at the baby..i smile.then i look at her as she puts June in the pram again to dress her in her little pajamas..  "oh wow,you're so cool June..well,you're my daughter"  "Shannon,can you give me my daughter,now?"   i ask her,laughing  "mom already scolding me"  she says holding the baby.i open my arms and in the exact moment June's little body touches mine i feel like i'm receiving a crowd..i feel as i'm the queen of the world..i'm a mother..there's our love child in my arms  "oh,hi June..i'm your mom"  her eyes are closed as her tiny hands..i graze her chin... "i never thought i would have fallen in love with another girl"  i say,admiring my daughter's features..her hair is blonde and her lips and nose remind of mine and Shannon's at the same time.. "i wanna see her eyes"   i tell my girlfriend  "she's gonna open them,i promise.and i'll win the bet.."  "no..she looks like you"  "she looks like you too"  she grazes her cheeks,making the baby whine  "i'm taking the pacifier"  "no,wait.i have to feed her"  she sits back, taking the baby..i pull out my breast from the gown  "ready for your first meal,June?"  i tell her. Shannon places her body under my breast and i feel an immense emotion when my daughter's mouth latches on my nipple..i rest my head on Shannon's chest,adoring my daughter as she keeps eating from me... "she looks like an angel..her face is just so...sweet..and her mouth.."  my fiancee whispers,caressing my head  "she's a masterpiece"  i reply,touching those little fingers..unexpectedly,the baby grabs one of my fingers  "oh,she has a strength"  i tell jokingly, Shannon leans over to place a soft kiss on her head  "like her mom"   i look at her  "i wouldn't be here without you...you're the reason of her"   she holds me tighter   "i love you princess..i can't believe we made her"  "i can't believe it too.."  i answer,looking down at my daughter who's detaching from my nipple  "Oh,someone's full"   i tell in my sweetest voice..it's that the more i look at this baby,the more i love her..she's too precious..i grab her litte feet,placing a kiss on them  "she has a good scent"  "oh yes,she smells so good..here,i'm gonna put the little socks in those tiny feet"  Shannon takes June and i let the gown cover my body again..i look at my amazing woman putting the socks on our daughter's feet and i feel so proud  "you're doing great"  she turns her head to me,smiling widely  "do you think so?"   i nod  "you're an hot mama"   she chuckles  "someone's hormones are waking up,i see"  "douchebag,i'm just enjoying our intimacy...realizing that this will be our everyday life is so...overwhelming"  "i get what you say...i feel so happy"  she approaches me and places a kiss on my lips  "i love you"  "i love us..hey,it seems that the little princess is falling asleep"  she says,looking at June  "let her sleep"  she places another kiss in my forehead  "yeah"  "can you lay next to me?"  i ask her  "Cari,i don't wanna be scolded by the nurses"  "please,baby"  she sighs loudly  "today,26th of February starts the end of the poor Shannon Beveridge..i won't have any chance with both of you"   i cuddle into her arms  "oh my god,it's a strange feeling being on my side like this again...i have my body!"   she laughs,placing her hand on my hip  "yeah,it's strange for me too.come here..mmm.."  she tightens the grip,nuzzling her face into my hair..i'm smashing her leg but i don't care..i need to feel my woman now.i take a glimpse in my daughter's direction and breathe peacefully..my whole world is inside this room.i want to freeze time to capture the beauty and the eternity in this moment.
