It's the middle of the night and I wake up with extreme pain in my stomach and I think I know what's happening.
"Blake! Blake!" I shake him awake and luckily he wakes up right away.
"What's wrong, leilei?" He croaks.
"My water just broke." I gasp in pain and Blake jumps out of bed quickly and helps me get up and ready. He calls my mum and we head to the hospital with our already packed hospital bag.
After a really painful 15 hours, I finally heard a baby cry and I start sobbing, especially when they hand her to me. "She's so beautiful," I say and look up at Blake and see that he's crying as well.
"I love you." He kisses my head. The doctor asks Blake if he wants to give Lili her first bath and of course he agrees. I smile as i watch my husband clean her off while quietly talking to her. The doctors make sure everything is okay and that she's healthy before they leave us alone. "She's gorgeous," Blake says with a big smile as he's holding her.
"I can't believe we're parents now." I smile.

_madi_jo I have to come visit her bc there's no way I'm not meeting this little angel
I fed Lili and we both took a nap when we were done because we both had a long hard day. When I wake up, mine and blake's parents were all there holding my sleeping baby.
"Hey, guys."
"Sweetie!" Mum walks over and hugs me.
"How are you?" She smiles.
"Very tired, although the nap felt great." I laugh lightly.
"I'm so proud of you. She's so beautiful." She kisses the top of my head. Soulla comes over and gives me a big hug too. "She's perfect." She grins. We talk and hug for a little more until my best friends show up. Blake and I could both tell Reece was about to exclaim in happiness when he walked in but blake ran up to him and put his hand over reece's mouth.
"Reece this is a hospital and Lili is asleep, you can't yell," Blake says and moves his hand from Reece's face.
"I wasn't gonna yell."
"Please, we all know you too well." Indie laughs and Reece sighs.
"Hey, guys!" I smile at all of them. The girls squeal quietly and walk over to me to see Lili in my arms.
"Leilani!!" They manage to give me a hug and they kiss Lili's forehead.
"Do you want to hold her?" I ask and they nod their head. I hand her off to Delilah first and George comes over to her to admire the baby.
"She's so beautiful." Reece smiles down at Lili once it's his turn to hold her. They stay for a bit longer talking and chatting with us until they had to go.
"I love you." Blake kisses me and sits down beside me on the bed. It was finally just us three and I couldn't be happier.
"Love you more." I smile.
Two hours later, Blake gets a call from Abbie saying her, Emma, and Karsen were on their way. I haven't seen them in a while so I was excited.
"Should we watch friends?" Blake asks.
"Sure!" I smile.
"Like the good old days."
"Blake we still watch friends together."
"I know." He laughs and I roll my eyes. Blake pulls a chair up next to my bed but I shake my head no.
"Blake, c'mere." I move over and pat the spot next to me on the bed.
"You sure?" He asks hesitantly.
"Yes, I'm sure. Now come on." I move over and blake lies beside me, cuddling while Lili is asleep in her cot next to us. Soon Abbie, Emma, and Karsen come walking in with big smiles on their faces which grow bigger when they see the sweet little sleeping angel.
"Meet your niece." Blake smiles at the three of them before getting up and hugging them.
"She's gorgeous." Abbie admires her before grinning up at me and blake. "Can I hold her?"
"Yes, of course." I smile.
"But first," She gives me a big hug before holding Lili. Emma and Karsen give me two big hugs as well, Karsen staying in the hug a little longer.
"Thank you," I whisper to him.
"For?"
"Being the best big brother anyone could ever ask for." I smile and pull away.
"Of course, that's what I'm here for. Lili is beautiful by the way."
"Thank you, kars." I smile and soon he has his little niece in his arms and I couldn't imagine how life could get better. They leave a little bit later and sometime shortly after that, blake cuddles up to me again and we fall asleep happier than we've both ever been.
