Childbirth was a true ordeal. I'd heard from my mother and others that it was a painful process, but experiencing it firsthand was a completely new experience.
Alpha Kane held me in his arms while the doctor guided me.
His lips remained on my temple as I collapsed, his scent soothing me.
"You're doing great. I'm so proud of you." I heard his sincere words, the love so evident in his actions and voice.
The strength I'd shown, the pain I'd endured, were worth it when I finally heard the soft cries of our little one.
We turned our heads simultaneously as the nurse cleaned up after our crying baby.
Dr. Alvia turned to us and announced with a broad smile, "Congratulations, it's a girl."
I knew deep down I was carrying a girl. My heart overflowed with such love that tears welled up in my eyes.
Emotions overwhelmed me, filling me to the brim, spilling out.
Squeezing Kane's hand, I whispered, "Go get our little girl." I wanted him to be the first to hold her.
