Today is the day. Today is the day I give birth to my baby girl.
But before we jump ahead, let's go back to the start of the day.

I woke up this morning, feeling surprisingly well. 1 week left till my due date.
1. Week. Left.

I can say I was scared, but at the same time, I was really excited. To finally meet our baby girl. I've been trying my best these past few weeks to keep myself feeling as strong as I can be. Even thought it was hard and knowing my coughing was at its worst, I was trying my very best. Because my baby depended on my body and I needed to stay strong, not just for myself but for her.
Ace had been as per usual, an enormous help and support. Him and Molly were always on their top game when it came to giving me all my nutrients and making sure I was eating well.
However despite trying to stay strong and healthy, I still felt the pain and discomfort day by day.

Getting out of bed this morning, I was surprised to feel very well. For a second, I had forgotten about my illness. It was like a miracle at occurred and that everything felt cleared up.

"Good morning sunshine" Ace says while flipping his pancakes that he was making

I walk up closer to him near the stove and hug him from behind. Still half asleep, I place my head on his shoulder and close my eyes

"Good morning" I say half groggy

My stomach was so big. I felt so heavy carrying my self everywhere and leaning onto Ace was probably not the best thing for him....

"That smells so good" I whine out while sniffing the aroma of delicious pancakes being made by chef Ace.

"We'll take a seat, breakfast will be ready in a couple minutes" he says and flashes me a smile

Oh that perfect face, I melt.

"Okie, I'll grab some orange juice" I start to say and walk to the fridge

"Would you like any? It's so weird I'm having the biggest craving for orange juice right now..." I open the fridge and grab the bottle of juice

"I'm good with coffee" he answers and continues to finish up with the pancakes and starts to place them on a plate

I close the fridge door and make my way to the breakfast table with my orange juice. All of sudden, we hear a splash thinking I dropped my glass of juice onto the floor.

Ace turns around suddenly looking at me as I looked down at the ground
"Did you spill the juice?" He asks

We both look at the glass that was still full in my hand... I look down and take a moment to respond "...I..., n-no, Ace, my water broke" I finally say and look up to meet his eyes

He blinks a couple times before his eyes widen in realization

"Y-your, water... oh my god your water broke!" He exclaims pointing at the small puddle on the floor
