I Thought Three Was A Crowd

Chapter 15: Baby Girl. Baby Boy!

I screamed to the top of my lungs. Jordan was on my right and Ashley on my left. It was really happening. I was giving birth to my child. My first child. I was going to be a mother. Jordan was the father. We always wanted to have a baby. Now look at us, in a hospital room delivering our first child. They were both holding each of my hands. I was squeezing both very tightly. The pain was excruciating. It was hard to breath at times. I got tired a lot. Jordan and Ashley were both encouraging me to keep pushing and it helped some but not much. That pain was not like any other. The cramps, the false alarms, not even the pain I felt when my water broke. I was hurting bad. I got scared. Was it something wrong? Why so much pain? I started to cry in fear. Jordan tried to calm me down saying that it was okay and Ashley was saying that it was normal for me to feel this but it didn't feel right. The pain let out for a while and I was able to get through the rest of the delivery fine. And before I knew it. I heard him. The most beautiful sound I had ever heard. My son, was now laying on my chest. With his eyes closed and fingers so small. He looked like an ant with his small body. I could breath again. I felt so relieved he was okay. Jordan looked at him with tears in his eyes. He resembled him very much. Ashley was smiling the whole time with tears in her eyes. I cried as well. It was a beautiful moment. I felt a tiredness hit me and Jordan took the ant to hold. I slowly dozed off to sleep. Two days later, we were in the hospital and Jordan was asleep. So was Ashley. The doctors came in and wanted me to fill out some paperwork for the baby. I started to fill it out when I say the blank line saying child's name. I looked over at Ashely. Then at Jordan. I looked at the paper once more and write down my son's name. Jordan Kelli Anderson. He had the first initials of each of our names. It was perfect. Anderson was Jordan's last name. I wanted him to be like his father. It was so precious. I picked up baby Jordan and rocked him in my arms while he was asleep. He looked so beautiful. Just like his father. He even had a nose like Ashley's. I started to cry looking at his face. This was my child. Jordan woke up and saw my holding the baby and immediately wanted to hold him. He took him out my arms and rocked him in his arms. He looked so good being a dad. It was amazing. I really started to cry. A few days later, I was released from the hospital and went home with baby Jordan. When we got there, it was a whole new scenery. Everything changed. We became more cautious and caring. Baby Jordan was always with one of us. Never left our sights. We would start to take shifts watching and caring for him because he was such a handful that we could barely get sleep. The thrill and enjoyment of being parents. But it was also a loving learning experience. I wouldn't have asked for anything better. Eventually, BJ( baby Jordan) had his first steps at 6 months. His first words at 7 months. He was growing so fast. Before we all knew it he was one years old. I hated the fact that he was growing up. Jordan asked me if I wanted a another baby and immediately denied him. If I had another baby or wanted another baby.m, I would probably be going through some hard times because I would never want to go through that pain again. Ever. Jordan m, Ashley and I got a lot closer in our relationship and we were this loving family. Of course, not officially but we knew it in our hearts. I thought about us though. What if we did become a family. Make ourselves official. Like a marriage. A commitment. To always be together. I talked to Jordan and Ashley about it and they agreed. We were going to have the same last name and rights to each other. We were really going to be one big family. I couldn't wait. BJ would have two mothers which was pretty cool to me. More love to go around. More gifts and presents too. We decided to do it at the end of the year when before BJ turned two and after all of our birthdays. We were going to do it on the anniversary that all of us got together.
