RAQUEL

Blue

Deep blue eyes

Just like her father's

Its only been a few months of being a mother and my heart swells with each passing second I spend with the tiny being that made Heaven open up as soon as I heard her cries. I would protect her and be the type of mother I had been deprived of.

Alex had been emotional, seeing the way he held and interacted with her so well was incredible. The memory was still fresh of the day Diana came into our life and holding her now, cradling her to my chest- it was one of the best days of my life.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine with her grandma," said Alex's mother as she entered the living room plopping next to me.

"I know," I whined admiring the peaceful look on her face," Just because I've returned to work still doesn't make being away from her any easier."

Hearing the groan past her lips I chuckled looking back up at her," For the last time, if anything happens I will call one of you," she replied.
