Dear Love Of Mine

Recovering

-Mitch-

I woke up feeling lightheaded. I tried to get up but my whole body hurt, "Scott?"

"Mitch. Oh my god." I looked over and saw Scott sitting next to me. His eyes were all red and puffy.

"What happened?"

"You lost a lot of blood Mitch. They didn't think you'd make it."

"I'm okay now though?"

"Yes. You're all stitched up. Baby is great. She's so beautiful Mitch. You did good."

"When can we see her?"

"They were waiting for you to wake up." I smiled.

"I wanna see her Scott." Scott pushed my nurse button and minutes later, a nurse appeared with a baby.

"Look Marley. Your dad is awake." She placed Marley in my arms and I started to tear up.

"She's beautiful, Scott."

"She is." I smiled as Marley held my thumb in her tiny hand. She was amazing.

We were bringing Marley home today. I'm so excited to have her home.

I walked in the house, carrying her in my arms. I walked to her nursery and set her down in her bed. She yawned and stretched until her eyes fell closed.

"Scott." I whispered loudly to him in the kitchen, "Come see her." He followed me back to her room and he just stared and admired her laying in her crib asleep.

"She's an amazing little girl." I nodded.

"That she is. Our little angel." Scott had his arm over my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around his stomach. We just stood there. Staring at our little girl. Our whole world.
