"Almost... Almost... one last good push," Alex's mom encouraged. Soon enough, the baby emerged from Elliot's tight muscles and into her waiting arms. She was pink, covered in blood and mucus, but she was alive. Her wail pierced the air as she was forced from her papas warm womb into the cold air. "You have a lovely baby girl," she told the pair of them. "Alex, come cut th cord so I can wash her off."
Alex did as his was instructed, stupefied.

He felt his eyes tear up and he had to blink them away as he held the scissors, poised to cut their daughter free from her papa. With a snip, the crying babe was free to be washed and swaddled.
The stupefied Alex managed to say, "thank you my love.. thank you.'
