Michael

Stacking books wasn't much fun, but it was better than nothing. Stacking and sorting out books was my side job. I was actually worked as a music recorder. I loved my job, and thankfully, I could still go home to my pregnant wife.

Speaking of her, she was due any day now, so I hated going to work right now. I constantly checked my phone, and always left early. I quickly finished stacking the books, grabbing the car keys, going straight home.

The sight I was met with was scary. My mother was helping Harley into the car I parked my car as quickly as I could, getting out and running to her. "Whats happening?!"

"Her water broke." Mum stated calmly.

"Why didn't you call me?!"

"Oh for fuck sake Michael just get on I'm about to give birth to your child!" My mum laughed at that. I just got into the car as quickly ad possible.

I cradled the little bundle of joy in my arms, smiling down at my new born son. He made little gargling sounds, making me giggle.

Harley was currently asleep, giving birth to our baby boy tired her out completely. So I sat there with little Camedyn Kyle Clifford.

•• A few Weeks Old ••

I watched on ad Harley cradled baby Camedyn. She was on the single couch, whilst I was laying on the bigger couch, just in a pair of sweats. It was winter, but because of the heater, I didn't need a shirt. Harley got up, going to put Camedyn in bed before laying on the couch with me, hiding her face in my neck. I smiled, wrapping my arm around her tightly, resting my chin on her head.

"We finally have a family..." I mumbled quietly, pressing my lips to her head. I felt her smile against my collarbone as she let out a hum in response, snuggling further into me.

We stayed like this for a while, both half asleep, small conversations thrown into the mix of lazy kisses and giggles.

That was until Cam woke up screaming.

"And thus it begins.." Harley mumbled, getting up to tend to our child.
