Four hours of labor later…
"Daniel…" Samantha murmured in between breaths.
"I'm right here, love. I'm not leaving… You can do this." Daniel held her hand and the two of them looked at each other, nodding as though they understood whatever the other was thinking.
Since it was Samantha's second pregnancy, the delivery was faster than the first one. Daniel saw how she screamed, gripped his hand and sweated as Samantha pushed their baby out.
But in just one hour, the cry echoed in the room, putting a smile on both of their faces.
"Congratulations! It's a baby girl…" The doctor announced and later as she was cleaning up Samantha, she asked, "What would you name her?"
Samantha had a smile on her face as her baby girl latched on her. Her eyes were closed and she was so tired that she could only listen to what was happening around her.
