The Accident | Grester

Chapter Twenty-Three

Grace's POV

I balance Sophie in one arm, her little feet pressing against my hip. I focus the camera until it seems right and then sit down with Sophie on my lap.

"Hi internet." I say, taking a breath to calm myself. Sophie smiles up at me from my lap. "As you can see, we have a guest."

I gesture Sophie, who giggles a little.

"This is Sophie Elizabeth. She was born two weeks ago, June 15, at 8:49 pm." I begin explaining. "She's possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me. She wasn't breathing when she came out, so the fact that she's here now, healthy, is a miracle."

I feel tears welling up, and I blink hard to keep them from falling. I've gone eight years without ever crying on camera, I will not break that record today.

"I never thought I'd be a good mom, but I think I'm doing an okay job so far. I love Sophie very much, and that's 90% of the job." I continue. "I'm going to be stopping Fridiary for the next couple weeks, just because of how things are so crazy right now. I promise I'll bring it back soon."

My eyes drift to the baby on my lap, and I see her wide brown eyes staring at me. The eyes I've given her.

"I love you little miss." I tell her. I feel hot tears begin to cascade down my cheeks, but I don't wipe them away. My baby girl is definitley something I can cry over.
