It's been a few months since the wedding, and now I'm finally screaming at the top of my lungs while I give the final push.
"Congratulations, it's a baby girl." The doctor says.
Exhausted and sweaty, I look over at Adam, who stares back at me. Our eyes are as watery as our smiles are big. "A girl," I repeat.
"I know," he says, his voice thick and low.
"What are you going to call her?" The nurse asks.
"Lyla," we both answer. We hadn't wanted to know the sex of the baby, but we'd chosen a name for each.
"Beautiful name; baby Lyla is healthy as can be." She says, as Lyla cries her heart out.
The nurse places her in my arms, and at that very moment I understand everything. All those times people say, "you'll understand when you're a parent"; it all makes sense. I love her more than I can even describe, and I can't believe she's finally here.
Adam sits down on the bed with me, and we greet our baby girl for the first time. I glance up at him, and then back to Lyla. I just can't seem to tear my eyes away from her for more than a second. But I know Adam is here, and I know that this is the start of a forever family.
And my heart has never felt so full.
