All About Timing

Chapter Forty-Four

I held Noah in my laps as I watch her smile grow during her sleep. If there was one thing that I adored it was watching my baby sleep.

Yes I'm a creep.

Right now in the room, was Momma, Mom, Kelley, Alex, and Emily. I called and told my aunts about it and a lot of them are either on their way or are in the waiting room for support.

Since I'm about to go back into surgery, they only allowed so many people in the room.

"Wait so who is Noah's Godparents?" Momma questioned as Emily turned to me.

We really never discussed who the Godparents would be but I had an idea on who I wanted them to be.

I just never told anyone.

"It's up too Aryn, I know she'll pick a good pair," Emily tells Momma as Kelley smiles.

"Is it me?" Kelley questions with excitement.

"No," I tell her bluntly with a straight face.

"Ouch, I thought I was your favorite," she says offended.

"Nope, it's Auntie Toby," I tell her as her face drops and so does Alex's.

"I'm offended," Alex says with a fake hurt look and Kelley just gives me a glare.

"So Tobin is the Godparents?"

"No, Toby is my favorite Auntie," I admit as Kelley looks like she's about to fight someone.

"Whatever, I know I'm like in the top 5," she tells me.

I shrug my shoulders as she furrows her eyebrows, "more like top 10, maybe."

"Ash!" Kelley complains as Mom laughs at me.

"Can't judge my baby and who she chooses as her favorites," Mom tells her as Kelley gets up.

"Fine, Ima go check on Charlie," she says, before giving me a kiss on the forehead and leaving the room.

Alex gives me a huge smile and hugs me, "I know you're teasing her but I'm never going to hear the end of this."

I start to laugh as Alex leaves too.

Momma looks at me and grabs my leg as she gives me a soft smile.

"You're gonna be fine baby," she tells me like she just read my mind.

"Yes you will," Mom says, grabbing my other leg.

Before I could say anything more, there's a light knock on the door.

"You ready?" the Nurse questions as I look down at Noah once more.

I caress her face as I see her smile again in her sleep and I turn to Emily, giving her a kiss.

"I love you," I whisper as she leans over, kissing my forehead.

"I love you too Aryn."

Momma and Mom both come over and kiss my cheek as well, then Mom reaches over grabbing Noah from my laps.

"We will see you after Aryn," Momma says.

I squeeze Emily's hand one last time as she walks away, leaving me alone with the nurses.

Emily POV

I sat in the waiting room between Rose and Lindsey as everyone fell into a light conversation. It amazed me on how many people came out today to support Aryn.
