I Never Saw You Coming

Chapter Thirty One

*Three Months Later*

Taylor's POV

I clutched onto Ed's hands like my life depended on it, probably because I believed it did.

I sobbed harder than I have in a really long time, so in pain and scared yet excited that I wasn't sure how to feel.

"Taylor, one more push, okay, love?" Ed's soft voice asked, and I bit my lip and somehow managed to cling to him tighter. I nodded barely, and pushed again, before letting out some sort of inhuman shriek as I felt the baby slip free. Ed succumbed to tears, leaned over, and enveloped me in an extremely tight hug. "Good job, Taylor, I'm...I'm so proud of you, love. We finally did it! We've got our own child now, our own little girl, I..." He mumbled through his overwhelming tears, and all I could do was nod, for I was crying just as hard as he was. "I'll be right back, okay?" He asked, giving me a tight squeeze. I nodded, and he ran over to watch as the doctors finished cleaning our baby off. I couldn't see her, as they had their backs to me while they washed her off over the sink. Ed was bawling his eyes out, with his hands over his mouth in general shock and excitement.

Finally, the doctor wrapped our little girl up in a soft pink blanket and handed her carefully to Ed, who grinned so wide as he cried that his smile literally almost touched his ears. "H...hi there..." He was barely able to mutter to her, clutching her small body so close to his own. It was one of the moments that I will never in my lifetime forget, seeing my husband hold our daughter for the first time.

"E...Ed." I stuttered, and he looked up, almost forgetting I was in the room it seemed. He quickly came over and cautiously handed our little girl to me for the very first time. One look at her, and every worry I had ever had was erased, every sadness I had ever felt simply ceased to exist, anything that had ever bothered me simply didn't anymore, because I was finally holding my child. I clutched her so close to my chest, vowing right then and there that I would do everything in my power to always keep her safe and happy, no matter what it would take. I brought her head up close to mine, placing a kiss on her forehead. "H...hi," I was barely able to mutter to her. "I...I love you so much," was all I could say to her before becoming completely overwhelmed by my tears again.

I motioned for Ed to sit next to me in the hospital bed, and he quickly hopped up next to me and tossed his arms around me, pulling me as close as possible. "Look at her, Ed..." I was barely able to mutter, falling into his chest and bawling.

"She's perfect, love, I..." He held me close and rubbed my back.

Just then, her little eyelids fluttered open for the very first time, revealing piercingly blue eyes. They reminded me of Ed's, they were almost exactly the same. "Her eyes are just like yours, Ed." I mumbled, and he nodded and reached his hand over to brush it ever so carefully across her head. We both cried into each other, so overwhelmingly happy we couldn't have thought about anything else.

"Taylor, kiss me, love." Ed requested, and I looked up happily to meet his gaze for a moment, both of us grinning like we never have before, and then kissing. I smiled as I thought about our first kiss, so many years ago on the last date of the North American leg of the Red Tour. That had changed everything ((see what I did there)), and now I know that it got me here, to my husband, to our daughter. Here, in this hospital bed somewhere in New York, my lips on his, our little girl in my arms, my life was complete. I've finally gotten everything I've wanted ever since I was a little girl. I got my Prince Charming, who's better than anyone else could ever be for me. And now, I've got our child, a perfect combination of Ed and I, a perfect little bundle of happiness and realization that I never saw any of this coming, I never in a million years thought I'd fall in love with my best friend, but now, with my best friend and I kissing as we cry over seeing our daughter for the very first time, I know that I'll never be the same.

THE END

A/N: Thank you guys so much for reading this! The story continued on a lot longer then I had originally anticipated, but it's turned out to be one of my favorites that I've written. I just wanna tell you guys that I just uploaded the first chapter to a brand new fanfiction I'm writing, called Begin Agin. I hope you have a wonderful day! :)
