Sorry but I couldn't help but put a picture of my kid at first

Sorry but I couldn't help but put a picture of my kid at first. She was the most beautiful child I'd ever seen. I could agree with putting up with all that pain for nine whole months. She was such a sweetheart. I cried so hard when I lifted her up in my arms for the first time.

Sure taking care of newborns meant a lot of work and sleepless nights. I am going to come clean though. I had all the help that I could imagine from Dae hyun. The guy practically moved into my house. He almost behaved like the father of my baby.

His behavior bothered me a lot. What would my daughter say after growing up? She would call him uncle but he was staying with us 24/7, even when her father wasn't here. I  would already be criticized for having a child out of wedlock. That was how the world would perceive me and I wasn't ready to expose my child to the cruelty of the world at such a tender age.

I also didn't want Dae hyun to play the father's role just for my child's sake. That wouldn't be fair to him. Several thoughts kept me up at night apart from my already sleepless state because of her. I was even helped by the friendly nurses at the hospital. The first few months cruised by quite well. Oh, and her name?

Cho Hee Roy.

It meant 'beautiful joy'. I chose the name as soon as I found it. It caught my attention as soon as my gaze fell on it. The way it rolled off my tongue so naturally made me realize that it was the right choice, made for her. And yes, I named her after me. The presence of the father was necessary to register his surname as well as the nationality of the child in Korea. Since that a-hole wasn't there in my life, I named her after me and registered her under my country's nationality. It was quite a hassle but I would do anything for her. I wanted her to grow up into a fine young woman, who received all the love from her mother.

Maren did visit me after my baby was born. Both Noah and Mare were babying her to the extent where they didn't let her sleep. Also, they caught baby fever and wanted to get married sooner, even though their marriage was in a few months. Pictures were being snapped non stop. She was too pretty to just walk by.
