The Best and the Hardest Thing

it bird, it's a plane-NO it's Baby Butler

We all gathered in the front room to open presents. We decided to open little ones first. 

My first present was a pair of diamond earrings from collete. Next was a week by week baby book from Carlie followed by a gift-card from James to motherhood, for car seats and what not. Casey got me a pair of sapphire earrings just like my birthstone and a matching necklace. I got a makeup goodie bag in my stockings, some cute baby outfits, pacifiers, sweets, nail polishes and my biggest present was a kindle and a brand new IPad that had "Mrs. Dana Butler" engraved on the pink casing. I bought casey a new 3D tv with a PS3 just to make gaming feel like reality, i had also got him some video games, a new watch and a pair of air jordans that he had been eyeing at our trip to the mall. 

Once all the little presents were out of the way the big ones were brought in.  

James and Collete had bought my little sister a bike that matched Lucy's. 

"oh you shouldn't have" I gushed 

"I won't have any of that, your family now- I have the right to spoil you" collete replied smiling

"we have something for all of you, maybe you could keep it in one of the spare rooms just incase we let you babysit" casey joked as he handed collete the gift bag. 

They were all so excited and confused at the same time but their reaction was nonetheless priceless. 

"oh my! I'm going to have a grandson?!" she squealed  

We had made them a teddy bear from build a bear and had ' Baby Boy" written on it.

Casey was so pleased that he'd have a son to have a kick about with when he was grown. But I knew he'd have been just as happy if it were a girl.

Casey and I were cuddling on the sofa, covered in blankets as we watched our family unwrap presents. 

"I was thinking.. What about the name Jackson?" casey asked 

"maybe pile" I answered 

"Liam?" 

"no, Lucas?"  i asked

"Maybe, Gavin?" 

"yeah, if he's middle aged and has a bald spot" i scoffed

"okay, how about do full names rather than just first names, like Jamie Scott Butler"  

"hmmm...how about, Max Jeremiah Butler?" I asked smiling 

"I think we have a name ladies and gentlemen" he whispered in my ear before kissing my neck.

*Ding Dong* went the bell

"is anyone expecting a visitor?" collete asked as we all shook our heads. 

"I'll go check" casey said getting up and jumping off the sofa. I got up and followed in close pursuit with my warm blanket.

"who is it?" casey asked via the intercom 

"it's Ann, Ann Wilson" my mother replied 

Casey turned to look at me as if asking if it were okay to open the door, I nodded. 

I looked down and saw my mothers perfect black patent heels in her hand were presents, when I looked at her face, I couldn't believe what I saw. 

"Mom?" I gasped
