Tyler's POV
Once again, Jody is lying in the hospital bed, giving birth. I'm with Isla and we are waiting outside the window. I've lifted her up, and she's crunching away happily at some Quavers. "Wat dat?" Isla asks pointing at the window. "That," I say, " is Mummy and your little sister, Zara. It won't be long until you can meet her, " I continue, giving her a little kiss on her head. Isla is so sweet.

After about half an hour, me and Isla are bored. We've read books, played games (which aren't very easy to do with a 1 year old in a hospital) and sang songs. I sang Twinkle Twinkle Little star, and Isla sang "jhhejsijeioshv" It got very confusing.

Isla and I are jumping for joy, as we've just been informed that baby Zara made it into the world safely. I go into the room, kiss Jody, and pick her up. I look down at her, her big brown eyes, small nose and pink lips. Then I look at Isla, with her rich, chocolate brown eyes, tiny nose and pearly lips. I realise they are just the same.

When I lean down to let Isla meet Zara, the first thing she does is jumps up and down, giggling. Then she strokes her little head, and gives her a kiss. "Why don't we take a family photo?" Jody suggests. So we do. I then take Isla home, because she is knackered, print it out and I make a few changes. I write on it, 'Zara May Lewis' and write below, '26th October '. I then put it in a frame, and hang it up in the girls' room, next to Isla's picture.
