19th of January 2022 - The day Arabella rina sugg was born.
A small, sleeping baby girl layed in a tiny little cot next to dianne, who was also having a rest herself. Joe was sitting on a chair next to them both, staring at awe at the two girls he loves the most in the world.
Arabella began to stir in her sleep, letting out a few noises which joe found way too adorable. He carefully scooped her up in his arms, careful not to wake her or dianne. He stood straight and slowly began rocking her lightly. The new born baby slowly opened her eyes, showing the bright blue colour that dianne said was just as beautiful as joes. Joe smiled softly at the baby, whispering a quiet hello. He looked over at the red head spread out across her hospital bed, dribbling over her white pillow, implying she was fast asleep. Her hair was sprawled across the pillow and she made sure she took up ALL the space on the bed, still somehow joe found she looked simply beautiful.
Joe sat down on the big window sill that looked over the busy road outside. It was about 6am but joe was still wide awake as he stared at the sunrise peeping over the horizon. The baby in his arms began to squirm again. Moving her arms and legs before getting into a comfortable position.
Joe looked down at the precious baby in his arms, admiring every piece of her. Her bright blue eyes fluttered as she drifted back to sleep. Her tiny fingers and toes moved slightly now and again, which reassured joe she was fine. He loved every bit about her but he was undoubtably scared. She was so small and fragile he was scared he would break her almost. Scared he would do something wrong.This was obviously his first time being a dad, and as fun and exciting it was, it was also so new and nerve racking. When he found out dianne was pregnant he worried alot, worried that hes too busy to have a baby or hes not a perfect father figure. He thought hes too immature to have a baby and doesn't have the right quality's.
But as soon as he held his daughter for the first time and looked into her ocean blue eyes, all his worries went away. He knew he wasn't going to be the perfect father, and he knew bog all about being one. But he realised he didn't need to be. The small petite human being in his arms already brought he so much joy, even though shes only been in world for not even a day. She was abit of him and abit of the love of his life, the woman he married for a reason. He loved dianne with his whole heart, she was the one person in the world who could make him feel like the happiest person in the world. He smiled, laughed, cryed and had been through so much with that woman, so making a child of their own was almost like a gift, something joe never thought he would be so lucky to get.A small noise from his perfect daughter took joe out of his thoughts and he repositioned her in his arms. He began talking to her, he knew she couldn't understand a word of the stupid blabber he was saying to her, but he just wanted to tell her anyway.
"Hey, im your daddy, that stupid man who tells a very bad dad joke every now and again and i will probably embarrass you alot of the time. And that over there is your mummy. You know, you are a very lucky girl to have her as your mum. And i know we are very very lucky to have you as our little girl. And i know us 3 are very very lucky to have zoella as your godmother if you know what i mean."
Joe giggled at his own joke, knowing no one else in the room could.
"Talking of your auntie zoe, she has a boyfriend called alfie, who by the way still hasn't proposed yet even though they've been together for like 10 years now but still. They have a little doggy called nala. Well shes really old now actually but she can still run faster than me. Your uncle and auntie live in a very big house in brighton. And by the way, your uncle alfie buys alot of useless gadgets so if he asks you to have a go on his brand new electric pogo stick, dont be surprised. Now your auntie zoe is very, very nice. She will definitely buy you alot of new clothes and shoes which she will want to steal back for when she gets a baby of her own, which you will have to help convince her to get you a cousin soon. Then theres your grandad and grandma. See grandad is alot like me. He is very very silly and will definitely say worse dad jokes than me. But do what your mother does and just laugh along and you'll be fine."
he chuckled silently, knowing his poor kid is gonna have to deal with all these terrible dad jokes.
"Then theres mummy's family all the way in australia. She has a very big family but they are all lovely people. We might not get to see them much as they live so far away but at least that means you get more presents when they come visit hey. Speaking of your mummy, i know she loves you a lot, like a lot a lot. And i also know she is gonna be the best mum in the world. Even though she sometimes doesn't know her left and rights even though shes a dancer and she is honestly the most clumsy person i've ever met in my life, everything else about her is perfect. She is the most lovely, caring, hardworking and inspiring person i've met in my life. I really really hope you grow up just like her.
Anyway i'll be quiet now because your probably bored of hearing my voice. But i just want you to know i might be a right idiot sometimes, but i love you alot and i promise with all my heart to be the embarrassing protective dad i should be. Also don't tell your mum i said all those things about her, i don't want people thinking I've gone way too soft ay."And with that joe softly walked back towards the crib, and cautiously layed her back down. He gave her one last sweet smile, and sat down on diannes bed. She had been sleeping for a good 3 hours now, so he thought he should probably wake her up. He gave her a small peck on her forehead and tucked a peice of her soft red hair behind her ear. He whispered her name, slowly getting louder before her honey brown eyes began to flutter open. As soon as she saw the man sitting in front of her, a smile formed on her face. She lazily rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. She looked at her daughter calmly fast asleep in her cot and her smile got even wider. "Hows she been?" she asked, her voice croaky from just waking up. "Shes been perfect." Joe smiled sweetly at her and gave her a slow, sweet kiss on her lips. As they pulled away she smiled even more. "What was that for?" She tried to contain the smile that was spreading so widely on her face, but she couldn't help it. She was the happiest shes ever been, even after pushing a 9 pound baby out of her body. "That is because i love you," he hesitated "and this," He leaned in again, this time kissing her more intensely, with more meaning "is for giving me the cutest and most precious thing in the world." He looked at their daughter before turning back to her giving him the biggest heart eyes anyone ever could. "Its my pleaser Joseph sugg." She smiled proudly at herself, putting on a very bad posh accent. Joe chuckled and layed down on her bed. She cuddled into him as they chatted about everything and anything until the sun was fully awake, with their daughter peacefully sleeping beside them.
