Chapter 78
Setting my things down, I quietly tiptoed to the couch before kneeling down in front of the three of them. A smile overtook my face as I just watched the three breath in and out deeply, completely dead to the world from their naps. I carefully reached forward and stroked Penelope's chubby baby cheeks, amazed that two simple people like Tanner and I could've created something so incredibly perfect and pure.
Sixty-four hours I spent in labor with her. I refused a C-section adamantly, wanting nothing more than to give birth naturally. It was the most excruciating pain I'd ever been through in my entire life (though I still refused an epidural), but I would endure it a thousand times over if it meant my sweet girl was the end result.
