Niels looked at his wife in distress. She was suffering so badly. He had told her to get an epidural earlier on, but she had refused it, because she was afraid it would harm their child. The thought made Niels smile a little, because she already thought as a mother, but he wisely did not show it. He did not want Amanda to think he was enjoying her pain. She looked him in the eye and asked her to walk a little, and he didn’t want to refuse her that request. After a little walking, Amanda suffered so badly they had to rush her to labour and delivery. He remained by her side, her hand clasped around his. She squeezed hard, but he didn’t mind. He wanted to be there for her, and this was about all he could do. This and staying by her bed, as he had done for almost the entire day. The only moment on which he left her was to go home for a moment to get the car seat for once their daughter was with them. Amanda groaned in the process, and Niels did not like seeing her in this much pain. He softly whispered calming words to her, even though she might not hear them. He was so proud of her, because she kept holding on, because she pushed through the pain that she was feeling. He gave her hand a small squeeze, which she answered with a squeeze so fierce his hand tingled. A soft cry filled the air. As Niels looked down, he saw his daughter. They carefully cut the umbilical cord, and as they handed their girl to Amanda, Niels couldn’t possibly feel more happy. Here she was, after all this time, the tiny new human they had been dreaming of ever since they were younger. Now, their family had grown... Now, their daughter was in their midst... Welcome to this world, my little one... Welcome, Emilia Paris van Loon, your mummy and daddy love you so much! Comments #1. Congrats, you two!
