my six bodyguards

Fifteen years later...

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed. I was in so much pain. This was worse than the last three.

"You got it bella," Luca said, giving my hand a squeeze.

"I can't," I cried, "it hurts too bad."

"You're strong, and you can do this," he smiled, "you've already done it before, I believe in you!"

It took all the courage and strength I had in me to nod okay. I looked straight ahead and the doctor and I locked eyes.

"Ready sweetheart?" she asked.

"Yeah," I said, out of breath.

"Okay take a deep breath for me," she said.

I nodded and took a breath.

"Okay and push," she said, "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten! Good job, I can see the head! A couple more!"

I screamed in pain.

"Come on, you got this," Luca said.

"Again," the doctor said. I started to push as she counted to ten, and I felt bad for Luca's hand.

"You're doing great Emerson!" the doctor said, "come on I think we need one more push to get this baby out!"

I nodded as Luca wiped away my tears.

I grabbed his hand and began pushing.

"One, two, three, four, five, six-" the doctor stopped counting, "Oh here we go! Beautiful! It's a girl!"

I heard my sweet baby crying and looked up at Luca.

He gave me a kiss and went to go cut the umbilical cord. I couldn't believe it. A girl. Finally. After three boys I finally got my baby girl. My family was complete.

"So you finally got the little girl you wanted, huh," Luca smiled, giving me a kiss.

The doctor placed the baby in my arms and I immediately cried. "She's so beautiful!" I said.

"She has your eyes," Luca smiled. He gave our daughter a kiss.

"Welcome to the world baby girl, you're already loved by so many," I smiled.
