The Life Of Avia Grace

The Big Day

I didn’t sleep at all last night. I’m so nervous that I could get my mind to stop thinking of everything that could go wrong.  I grabbed my phone to check the time and it said 6:10

“Show time” I thought to myself.  Mama had already gotten up so I was alone. I got changed into my sweats and left my room. When I go to the tip of the stairs I ran into my dad

“Oh good you're up” He said

“I would that it’s a good thing that I am up this early,” I said and we both laughed

“Is everything ready so I can get straight into the car?” I asked

“Yes and I think your mama is already in the car ready” he responded

“Kay” I said and went down stairs.  I just headed straight to the garage.  When I get to the car I saw that mom was already in the front seat. I got into the car and mama asked

“Do you want me to sit in the back with you”

“Yea if you wouldn’t mind”

“Of course not baby” As mom got out of the car dad got in. When we got to the hospital, there were three paparazzi guys all of them had camera’s with them

“How do they always know?” I asked mama

“I have no idea darlin” she answered.  We all got out of the car and started heading over to the door.

“Good morning Gentlemen” I said and stopped hobbling. My parent’s look at me like I have two heads or something, but they let me take the lead.  Mama put a protective hand on my back and didn’t move it the entire time

“Good morning” they all said back

“I am sure that y’all have a bunch of questions, but were kind of running a little late, so if you keep it to one question each that would be great

“Is it true that you are pregnant Reba?” The guys on the left asked

“Yes she is pregnant and we are all very excited about the pregnancy” I answered before they even had a chance to open their mouths.

“Is everything ok with the baby and If so why are you here so early” The man in the center asked.

“Both the baby and Mama are doing perfectly.  The reason why we are here so early is because I’m have knee surgery this morning” I replied

“Are you going to cancel any shows before the baby is born” the guy on the right asked.

“As of right now no shows have been canceled at this moment in time.” I said and the three men left. My parents just look at me at surprised at what just happened.

“Bubs has some sass doesn’t she” dad said

“Where did my little girl learn to take power like that?” Mama asked

“When we would have family dinners and I couldn’t get a word in or when I did get a word in, I would get cut off” I said and they both laughed. When we finally got up to my room I realize we still had 45 minutes to kill.

“Did I say or do something to you Reba? Daddy asked.  She gave him a confused look and said

“No why”

“Because you didn’t come to bed with me last night and when I got into the car this morning you moved to the back.”  He said

“Honey, I couldn’t leave Avia.  She was scared and she needed me.  I couldn’t turn my back on her.” Mom said defending herself.
