“Here comes the head, that’s it, one big push, Lilly,” the doctor tells her.

“Kane, I can’t do…” She’s busy screaming when we hear the first cry of our little one. Lilly stops making noise and we both look at each other in awe of what has happened.

“We have a very loud, healthy little girl. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Boston,” the doctor announces. We both start crying as I’m kissing Lilly, trying to tell her how much I love her and how proud I am of her. They place our perfect little girl on Lilly’s chest. Covered in muck, blood and all squished up. She is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen besides her mom who will always be the love of my life.

“Look at her, Kane, our little girl, just look at her,” Lilly says between tears of happiness.

“I love both of you, my Boston girls. I will always protect you both and keep you safe. That is my new rule.” We both have our little girl wrapped in our arms and take this moment to enjoy that first time of being a family. How could I have ever thought I should give up this chance. Thank goodness for Lilly who brought me the light.

After a few hours, the three of us are enjoying the quiet time in the hospital room, just staring at our little miracle. Lilly starts to drift off to sleep so I take my daughter and stand looking out the window at the city just holding her tight and having a little talk just the two of us.

“I promise you, just like I promised your mom. Every day I will protect you and will do my best to come home again to you, every night.

“I can’t promise you tomorrow, but I will give you everything of me today.

“I love you, Alina Lilly Boston, more than I know how to handle in words, but I will never stop showing you.”

THE END
