From a Duo to a Trio : the first year

Reflecting on 12 months!

" hey! It's 4:30." Ally said waking Austin

" I'm up" he said tiredly " remind me again why we are up this early the sun isn't even out yet. He took off his mask

" it's Ava's birthday, well almost!" She said " 5:03.. and I wanna tell her happy birthday on her exact birthday"

He sighed " why did you decided to give birth at 5 am.." he said " why?"

She shrugged " I went into labor the night before and had her in the morning.. birth is unpredictable"

" okay let's actually get up now.. before time runs out" he said

She smiled " yay!"
.....
" Oh my God... Austin!" She shouted

He rushed to the bathroom

" what what" he said

She had a mortified look to her face she looked down and looked back at him

" my water just broke" she said

He looked into her eyes as the mortified look in his face grew as well

It only took a couple of seconds before what she said processed

He looked at the puddle and back at her

She felt a gush and it splattered on the floor " yea it really broke"

" okay.. okay.." he said in a panicky tone  " rain check for dinner?"

" yea.." she said awkwardly

He rushed around as he got the things they needed while she was down Stairs

" fuck this is really happening" he said

" ye.. OWW.. GOD IT HURTS SO MUCH MORE" she yelled

" just re.." he began

" DONT TELL ME TO RELAX"  she said

She opened the car door

" wait!" He said

" what?" She asked " I don't think she can wait any longer"

He put a plastic bag on the seat " Ally, you're leaking everywhere.. don't get it in my car"

She glared at him and sat down

" okay.. let's go" he said
....
" and then suddenly we became parents what a trip" he said

" I remember holding her for the first time and she was crying and suddenly she was content in my arms.. she knew i was her mommy" she said "She was so little and tiny and precious and cute and every other synonym"

" I remember holding her for the first time, I had never held a tiny baby before, so I was nervous I didn't want to drop her, but as soon as I actually got to hold her.. my whole world changed.. it's something about looking at something you created with someone you love.. it's intense" he said

" i know how you feel.. holding your own baby  is so different from holding someone else's  baby.. it's crazy and indescribable"

They quietly crept around with balloons to Ava's door to surprise her

" I can't believe in 10 minutes we're gonna have a one year old this year has gone by so fast.." Ally said September 5th at 5:03 am 6 pounds 8 ounces
