Trinity starts grunting, and I hear the doctor say, “It’s time,” but it doesn’t register until I feel Trinity squeezing my hand, screaming, and then the room fills with the sounds of our baby crying. Our baby. I’m a dad. The thought hits me right in the chest.
I look between my wife and then my brand new daughter, and I can’t stop the tears from falling down my face.
They take our daughter to clean her up, and I kneel next to the bed to look at my beautiful other half, my everything. She’s exhausted, but she’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. “I love you, Trin.”
She smiles and looks at me through hooded eyes. “I love you too.”
THE END
