Pulling Me Through

Oh dear God. This is the last chapter and it's the birth of Savannah, but in Riley's POV. Bloody hell, I can't believe it's the end. It feels like I've been doing this for years.

Chapter Forty-One

One Month Later

Riley's POV

I was woken up at one in the morning when I got a pain in my stomach. I was a week overdue, but still thought nothing of it, but when I went to the bathroom I knew that this was it. My water broke as soon as I locked the bathroom door. I instantly unlocked it and headed straight back to the bedroom. Andy hadn't heard me get up and was still asleep. He looked so peaceful, I almost didn't want to wake him up, but I knew I couldn't just wait to wake up on his own. Tears streaming down my face, I shook him gently at first, but he simply stirred. I shook him again, slightly harder and he opened his eyes and looked up at me.

"Is everything okay?" He asked me, his look turning to one of worry when he really took me in. I was practically incapable of speaking, but I did manage to choke out something that was only small, but it conveyed my feelings.

"Andy, I'm scared" I admitted, by voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't tell if he had to strain to hear me, but I was beyond caring about being heard at the minute. I just wanted the pain to stop. I hadn't even been paying attention to anything around me and I was just now realising that Andy had pulled me into his arms.

"Why are you scared?" He asked. I desperately tried to figure out how I should phrase this? I always thought he would know when I was in labour straight away, but apparently not. By the way he froze before I said anything, I was guessing he had figured it out, but I still told him, so he could be sure.

"I'm having the baby" I cried as more pain greeted me. He looked at me with wide eyes as I wept in the pain.

"Fuck me. I'm going to get Jake" He said, jumping away from me and running out of the room. I watched as he disappeared round the corner and into Jake's room. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but they were taking too long. I tried my best to push myself off the bed, but that was proving to be a struggle. After what felt like hours, I finally managed to push myself off the bed and move over to Jake's room, every step feeling worse than the last. Jake was looking like he was lost as I cried. I expected this moment to be magical, but it was terrifying the life out of me. "Will you get Riley in the car?" I hated how they were talking about me as though I wasn't in the room, but I was in no mood to tell them off for it. Not now. Jake took my hand and led me out of the room, slowly since I could barely walk. I held onto Jake and the banister to try and get down the stairs it felt like I was taking forever, but I finally reached the bottom stair and walking got easier. Jake snatched up the car keys and unlocked the door before unlocking the car door.

"Jake, this hurts" I cried. He looked at me sadly, knowing he couldn't do anything to make it better, but knowing he would do anything to get to the hospital as quick as possible. He helped me sit down in the car before running back to the doorstep and shouting up the stairs.

"Andy, hurry the hell up" He called before returning to the car, jumping in the driver's seat. I waited for a moment before seeing Andy appear in the doorway, quickly turning to lock the door before he ran to the car and sat beside me. I grabbed onto his hand as I experienced another contraction. It was just as bad as the last one, if not worse, but Andy didn't even realise what I was doing since I was trying my best to make no noise.

"Are you okay?" He asked me. He may have only been asking me that because he was worried about me and wanted me to be safe, but it made me angry as hell for an unknown reason.

"Are you really asking me that?" I shouted, whimpering at the end of the sentence, taking all of the anger out of my voice. I could have sounded pretty threatening if pain hadn't attacked me at that moment.

"Jake, how long is it until we get to the hospital?" Andy asked. I could hear the fear in his voice and it made me get nervous. Andy was practically invincible. He had managed to keep it together when I had a miscarriage and he supported me through even when I pushed him away. What am I going to do when I can't turn to Andy for the calm attitude? Please say it's not long until we get to the hospital.

"A few more turns and we should be there" Jake answered and I felt a little bit of weight lift off of my shoulders. Soon I would be in a hospital where people can take care of me and deliver the baby. The thought of painkillers niggled away at the back of my mind, but I wanted them. This felt unbearable. "How are you feeling, Riley?"

"Again, are you really asking me that?" I said in a sarcastic tone. I instantly started feeling like the crazy bitch in labour that I was. I wanted to apologise to Jake, but I didn't have the strength in me to come up with any words.

"You may be in labour, but that does not give you the excuse to get sarky with me" Jake said, but I wasn't listening any more. I was focusing on not screaming out in agony. I wished to God that we would just pull up at the hospital and they could give me some drugs for the pain. I was angry at the fact that I had just been told of by Jake, but couldn't do anything about it since we pulled up at the hospital and joy and relief replaced any anger that was in my body, but it couldn't replace the pain.

As soon as we were parked up, Jake ran into the hospital as Andy held onto my hand. He gave it a gently squeeze as he helped me out of the car, wrapping his arms around me in a way that made me calm down ever so slightly.

"Andy, I'm scared" I whimpered, finally capable of speaking again. The tears hadn't stopped falling since my water broke and I wasn't surprised that fresh ones were falling again. Andy tried his best to smile, but it was obvious how forced it was. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to my cheek. In that one moment I forgot about pain as I focused on Andy, but too soon he pulled away and everything came rushing back. I felt as though I was going to collapse in the car, but Jake came with the wheelchair and Andy helped me into it and Jake pushed me in. It felt as though he was going to break into a run at any moment to get me into the hospital as quick as possible.

As soon as we entered, a doctor hurried over to us, not saying anything, but leading us to where I would wait for hours on end to have this baby. I didn't have enough patience to pay attention to my surroundings, but I instantly perked up when I saw Sammi and Jinxx sitting in some seats in one of the corridors. When they saw us, they jumped from their seats and hurried over. Jinxx went over to Jake, but Sammi stook by my side.

"Are you feeling okay?" She asked, her eyes scanning me to see any external sign of pain. Hell no. This was completely internal.

"Fuck no" I growled as I was hit with another contraction. Sammi sent me a sympathetic as she took my hand and walked with us to the labour room. I was so focused on not ripping Sammi's hand off every time I was washed over with pain that I barely heard my dad shouting at the receptionist.

"Where's my daughter" He shouted. I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't stop the feeling of relief as I realised that my dad was here to help me.

"Hey, dad, we're over here" Jake called as we continued down the hallway. My dad ran down the hallway and soon caught up with us.

"How's Riley doing?" He asked. If one more person asks me that then I'm going to hit someone. It was my dad, though. I was never cheeky with him. Yeah, I could be mad at him, but back chatting him was not on.

"I'm doing good, dad" I called. I couldn't see him, but I knew he was somewhere behind me. The doctor made one more turn before we came to the room. It was pretty much bare except for a bed, plant, bedside table and some monitors. Andy took my hand and helped me onto the bed. I was grateful to have something soft to sit on and the pain seemed to dull when I had something to lie down on.

"I'm going to get a nurse to keep checking in on you, but for now, it's going to be a long wait" He sighed. Oh, great, just what I need to hear. I ignored my bitterness and smiled whilst nodding. He exited the room as swiftly as he had come in, leaving me along with my worries. The room fell into an awkward silence as we all thought about what would be appropriate to say. This wasn't a normal day.

"Dad, you should go home and get some rest" I said, worried about his health. He was getting on a bit now and getting up at one couldn't be good for a person who was told to not overdo it. He looked at me as though I was going mental, but I flashed him a look of seriousness that made him realise that what I was saying made sense. "Come back in a few hours and things should have moved along a bit" I added.

He nodded, kissing my forehead before saying. "Andy will take care of you" I knew he would. I nodded as he left. The look of pride on Andy's face was almost comical and I was sure that if it was in different circumstances then I would have laughed. Laughing at Andy wasn't the first thing on my mind at the moment. I was just starting to settle down when I heard some excited voices outside the room.

"Oh my fucking God. I can't believe she's having the baby" Someone said. It took me a moment to realise that the voice sounded a lot like Sandra's. What was said next confirmed my thoughts.

"Sandra, shut the hell up and walk inside" An impatient voice said. Ashley. He was the one who was most anxious about the baby being born and now Sandra was stopping him from entering the labour room. He had every right to get mad. I could hear some grumbling, but couldn't make out any more words. Sandra and Ashley walked in together with CC shortly behind them.

"Hey, guys" I called, trying my hardest to make this situation as normal as possible, but it sounded like I was just being an idiot. Sandra grinned widely at me as she moved to the corner of the room, unstacking the blue armchairs and pushing them over to everyone before leaving to go find some more.

"Do you want something to eat or drink?" Sammi asked, moving from her spot in the corner of the room to stand by my bed. Playing with my hair which was surprisingly comforting, she waited for my reply. I shook my head, taking comfort in being surrounded by my friends who wouldn't let any harm come to me. Sammi nodded before taking a seat near the door. Andy sat in the seat next to me and played with my finger.

"Are the contractions bad?" He asked. I knew he was only asking out of pure worry just like in the car, but this time I answered with friendliness which it didn't look like he was expecting.

"Yes, but I knew Savannah will be worth it" I answered, my voice holding new levels of determination as I psyched myself up to have this baby. I will have this baby and take her home before the end of this weekend.

"She better be" Andy laughed. I knew that he was just trying to make this whole situation more light-hearted, but I regarded his comment with complete seriousness which he also wasn't expecting.

"I just know she will be" I sighed, my hands going to my stomach as I tried my hardest to get comfortable. I suddenly grabbed Andy's hand and squeezed. So many words ran through my hand as I had this contraction. Pain flashed up my spine as I wheezed, trying hard to stay calm, but I was scared of these things. A nurse came in, giving my new things to focus on.

"Let's check how many centimetres dilated you are" She said with a bright smile. I wasn't convinced she knew how much pain I was in. What happened next was... awkward. The room went silent which made it so much worse. This is the last time I put myself through this. "You're only two centimetres dilated, but that's okay. I'll come back in about an hour."

"Two centimetres" I said once she had left, my voice conveying all the anger in the world. "Two fucking centimetres."

"Looks like my guess was nearest" CC said in a voice that made me think he was teasing me. It was the first time he had spoken since he had gotten here and what he said managed to piss me off.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed, but intrigued. I would listen to anything that would take my mind off this. I was just about to listen intently when I was put through pain again. I winced again as Andy took my hand, but I still looked at CC expectantly.

"We were trying to guess how long it would take for you to have the baby and I said twenty hours" CC answered, guilt marking the face that had a fair amount of makeup on. He moved behind Sandra as he chuckled lightly.

My voice sounded hurt as I replied with "It's nice to know how much faith you have in me. You must think I'm not strong enough to have a baby quickly" My voice rising without me even realising until I had finished my mini rant.

"I only thought you would take that long because you would want to piss people off" He defended, but it angered me even more. Did he really think I was that shallow when it came to my own baby? Why would anyone in their right mind put themselves through pain to annoy people? I glared hard at CC as Andy shot him a look.

"If it helps, I said six" Ashley comforted, making me feel better in myself. At least he thought I could be quick with this even though I was going pretty slowly. I grinned up at him to show I was pleased with his comment.

"Thanks, Ash" I laughed as CC gave me a look that told me he was angry, but I didn't care anymore. If he wanted to say that my labour would take ages then he brought the consequences on himself.

"You should try and get some sleep" Sammi piped up. She was still sitting in her seat, but she looked annoyed at the idle conversation and generally concerned for me and the baby. I knew that everyone in the room thought I was going to make this difficult, but I had no intention of making this harder than it needed to be.

"I think I will. Everybody should try for sleep. I'll wake you up everything happens" I sighed, trying my hardest to show total calm even though I was freaking out inside. Everyone nodded as they tried their hardest to make themselves comfortable on the armchairs. I felt bad for the harsh sleeping conditions, but they said that they wanted to be there when I went into labour.

I felt a hand touch me arm and shake gently. I tried to push them away, needing my sleep, but when they kept on I opened my eyes to see the nurse smiling down at me.

"Time to see if this is moving far along" She said in that always cheerful voice of hers. It was time for the awkwardness to begin again. I looked over at the clock, desperate to stop thinking about what she was doing. I had only slept for two hours, but I felt a hell of a lot better than I did when I was wheeled here. "Four centimetres. You're doing well."

"Thank you" I mumbled before she left again. I rolled onto my side. This couldn't possibly take too much longer.

"Do you want to try and sleep again?" Sandra asked, more sympathetic looks were sent to me, but I was grateful for them. I shook my head and grabbed the nearest thing which was that birth book that I was regretting buying. I flicked through, getting bored at the first page. Signing, I thumped the book back down on the bedside cabinet and tried to get comfortable again.

"I'm so bored" I whined. There was nothing to do in this room and everyone in this room was just asking me if I was okay. Yeah, they were doing it for my health, but it was unbelievably boring.

"You're in labour, it's not meant to be fun" Andy said. I shrugged before taking a look around the room, desperate to find something to do when my breathing became wheezed again. Andy shot up and grabbed my hand as I gasped out in pain, causing Jake and Ashley to wake up. Jake took a look around the room and when he saw me struggling to get through this, he jumped up and held my other hand.

"Are you okay?" Jake asked. I still wasn't in the mood to tell anyone off for asking such a stupid question.

"I'm fine now" I answered. Feeling sweat on my forehead, I wiped it off with my hand. That must look very attractive. That whole ordeal made me thirsty. "Can someone go to the shop to get me a bottle of water?"

"I'll go" Andy said before pressing a kiss to my cheek and then heading for the door, getting stopped by Sammi before he could actually leave.

"I'll go too" She sighed, giving me a slight smile before following Andy out of the room. The room fell silent again, everyone thinking of what to say.

"Are you sure you guys want to stay through all of this?" I asked. I could hear the worry in my voice as I thought about how depressed I would be if they said that they would all go home.

"Of course we want to be here. A new life is being brought into the family of Black Veil Brides" Ashley retorted. "I just wish you could have gone into labour around dinner."

"I do too. Do you know how embarrassing it is to wake Andy up and tell him that you're having the baby?" I laughed. Ashley grinned at me before sitting back down. The room fell silent again, but only for a moment as Andy and Sammi walked back in with my water. Jake headed over to me and played with the hem of the bed sheet.

"When do you think dad's going to get here?" He asked. I knew how scared he was because he felt like he was responsible for me. Andy headed straight for the chair in the corner of the room and his eyes closed. He had barely had any sleep tonight and I couldn't begrudge him this. We whispered to each other and talked about the baby.

"I bet you're going to teach her how to play guitar" Ashley laughed at Jake. The whole room chuckled except for me since I was the one who wanted to teach her how to play piano. I wanted her to be musical like her dad, but I was going to give her the choice when she was old enough.

"What do you think her first word will be?" Sammi asked me, but I had no idea. I had ideas of what I wished it would be, but I highly doubted that they would be her first word. Of course Jinxx would have a smart comment to make.

"BVB Army" He laughed. I grinned, but shook my head anyway before laying back down again. I was growing uncomfortable again and every time I moved it got a little bit worse.

"You should try and walk around" Sammi advised. The idea was absurd, but I had seen women do it in my stay here. I nodded as Jake helped me off the bed just as my dad walked in. He grinned when he saw me stand on my own and walk over to him.

"Did mom walk around?" I asked as he nodded and took my hand.

"We'll walk up and down the hallway" He said as he led me out. Walking was slow, but I felt more comfortable and I read somewhere that it helps the baby move along. All I wanted to do was get this baby out of me.

"Dad, how bad did mom say the pain was?" I asked, beginning to feel scared again, knowing that I wouldn't have long to wait until the pain began to get unbearable. I was just about to turn around when I got another contraction. "Dad, help me" He took my hand and told me to simply breathe through it. I handled that one better than the rest.

"Your mom said that it wasn't nice, but she'd do it any day to get you and Jake" He answered and I felt my eyes well up. My baby would never get to see their grandmother.

"Do you think she's proud of me?" I asked. He looked down at me as though my question was stupid.

"She would be so glad if she knew that you were in labour" He answered as he kissed my cheek. I smiled as I walked up and down the hallway again. We walked in silence for about an hour before returning to the room. I looked at the clock to see it was nine in the morning now. I had been in labour for eight long hours. The nurse walked in at that time.

"Ready to check how many centimetres dilate you are?" She asked. Do I really have a choice? I simply nodded as she checked. She looked up at me with a smile on her face.

"Seven centimetres" She answered and I sighed in relief. It may be slow, but at least I was making progress. Another three centimetres and I can have a baby. When she left, she closed the door loudly and woke Andy up. His eyes grazed over me as he checked to see if I was okay.

"How many centimetres?" He asked.

"I'm seven centimetres dilated. It's going a bit slow" I answered, not being able to keep the sadness out of my voice. I could feel my dad squeeze my shoulder in support.

"Your mother was slow. Seventeen hours it took her to dilate six centimetres" My dad told the room to make me feel better and it worked. I could hear Andy laugh loudly as Jake whined, but the rest of the room chuckled. "That was with Jake, but when we had Riley, we were straight in and out of the hospital" Now that, I didn't need to know. Andy found this sort of conversation hysterical.

The nurse broke up our laughter when she stormed in with an annoyed look on her face when she saw us. It wasn't the kind nurse who had been looking after me before and I suddenly felt put on edge with her.

"There's too many people in this room" She barked as she looked over us, sceptical. My dad kissed my forehead as he glared at the nurse, but left, everyone following him except Jake and Andy.

"We'll be in the main reception. When we next see you, you'll be a mom" Sammi called through, making us all smile. Andy and Jake sat on both sides of my bed and talked to me as I tried my hardest to not shout obscenities when I experienced another a contraction. Two hours after everyone had left, the nurse came in. She done what she had to do and I was surprisingly starting to get used to it.

"Are you ready to have a baby?" She asked. My hands instantly went to Jake as he held onto them for dear life. If she wasn't telling the truth then that would be a pretty sick joke to play, but something told me that a nurse wouldn't lie about these things.

"Is it really time to push?" I asked, needing some confirmation. She nodded as I sat in another wheelchair that was going to take me to the delivery room. Andy held my hand for the trip and we only stopped when we neared main reception. Jake bent down and kissed my cheek for what felt like the hundredth time.

"Good luck" He whispered, his words making me want to cry, but I knew I had to be strong for everyone. He hurried over to where everyone else was sitting as Andy took my hand and we entered the room. I was helped onto the bed and all started. I pushed as hard as I possibly could and I squeezed Andy's hand, but it wasn't good enough. Savannah didn't want to budge and I was put in more pain as I had another contraction. I couldn't concentrate on any one thing, but I managed to hear the midwife talk to Andy.

"You should talk to her, she's not pushing" She said. Of course I'm not pushing! It hurts. Andy pressed his head to mine as he got ready to give me a pep talk.

"Riley, you're doing great, but you need to push a little bit harder" Andy whispered as he moved some of my soaked hair off my face. It was matted and coated in sweat.

"Andy, I don't want to. I'm too tired" I complained as the tears ran down my face. It was impossible to tell what was sweat and what was tears, but I didn't care about my appearance. I was in too much pain to even begin thinking about that.

"I thought you said Savannah was worth it" He mumbled in my ear and it got me mad. Of course Savannah was worth it. If she wasn't then I would have put her up for adoption. I'm going to get this baby out if it kills me.

"You need to push as hard as possible" The midwife instructed as if I didn't already know that. Being in labour makes me pretty bitter.

"Ry, you're doing amazing" Andy whispered and I felt like the world stopped at that minute. He scraped my hair back as I shouted at the pain before turning to face him with a confused look on my face.

"Where the fuck did Ry come from?" I asked, but I was told to push again. I shouted at the midwife, but she knew that I didn't really mean any of the harsh things I was saying. Why hadn't I gotten the drugs?

"It sounded cute in my head" He commented, but I could barely hear his words. I was too focused on what I was doing than to listen to his pet names. We could discuss that after I'd given birth.

"Andy, I can't do this" I whimpered as I clutched onto his collar. To anyone else it would have looked like I was being threatening, but I needed him close to me.

"Riley, you're choking me" Andy coughed. The last thing I wanted to do was harm the person who was helping me through this. I loosed my grip on him, but kept my hand on his collar, keeping him near. "Yes you can do this. It's not going to be long until we can hold Savannah. We've waited nine months for this so don't back down now."

"Riley, push for me okay?" The nurse asked and I nodded, trying to get myself ready for this. "Ok keep pushing until I get to one. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." I waited until she got to one and stopped pushing, taking a deep breath and crying a little bit more.

"How much longer?" I asked, not knowing if I could take five more minutes of this excruciating pain. She looked up at me, sympathy written all over her face. She would have to deal with women like this every day.

"Take a minute to catch your breath and tell me when you think you're ready to push again" She answered. Finally I would have a minute to calm down! I could only nod since I didn't think words could convey what I was feeling.

"Andy, I don't want to do this anymore" I cried, knowing I sounded stupid since it was the birth of Savannah. I could hardly walk out of here and say I didn't want to carry on. It wouldn't be possible. Andy's lips were brought down to mine. I couldn't do anything, but savour his lips. It made me feel like this was all just a nightmare that had been brought to its end, but when he pulled away, I knew it was reality.

"I'm sorry, but you really don't have a choice anymore. Will you push for me again?" He asked as a crystal blue tear slipped from his eye and carried down to his cheek. It made me feel awful to see him cry, but there was nothing I could do to stop it.

"Why are you crying?" I asked, my hand reaching up to wipe away the tear that I never wanted to see again in all of my life.

"I hate seeing you like this" He answered as he wiped away the sweat on my forehead with a green cloth that made me cool down. He had never seen me like this, but I didn't mention it. I let him dab my forehead as my breathing returned to normal.

"I'm ready to push" I called to the midwife as Andy smiled brightly at the fact that I pulled through when it was needed most. She nodded at me as she started the countdown and I pushed, my hand squeezing Andy's until I thought I had broken it, but I couldn't stop squeezing. And then the cries started. I stopped gasping and Andy stopped whispering kind things to me. The only noise was the sound of my baby crying. I barely got a chance to catch a glimpse of her before the midwife cleaned her up and cut off the umbilical cord which was something I vowed I would never do. She handed me the baby and I was overwhelmed with feelings of love. She was still crying, but her eyes settled on me, her blue eyes glistening. The only part of her that would never change.

"What are you calling her?" The midwife asked. I couldn't look away from her long enough to answer the midwifes question, but Andy was on the ball for me.

"Savannah Biersack" He answered and I could almost hear the pride in his voice. I looked up and nodded at hearing my baby's full name for the first time. I held out my finger near Savannah and she took it in her tiny fist, squeezing hard. I grinned and chuckled lightly as Andy kissed the top of my head and stroked Savannah's cheek with his index finger. She stopped crying and looked at Andy and I, fascinated. I couldn't stop the few tears rolling down my cheek.

"Can we let our friends see her?" I asked, knowing she would hit the roof when she found out how many people we wanted to surround the newborn.

"How many are there?" She asked. I couldn't lie and say there was three. She'd get a shock when a few guys wearing makeup wandered in and two gothic girls with a middle aged man.

"Seven" I answered with a small smile, trying to get in her good books. She looked at us as though we were idiots, but I could see the friendliness in her eyes.

"Two at a time and they'll have to be quick" She ordered. I nodded as Andy hurried out of the room, leaving me with Savannah. I leaned down and kissed her forehead, taking in her scent. She smelled so fresh and just like Andy that I almost started crying again.

Andy must have ran because only a moment later, the door cracked open and Andy walked in with my dad and Jake following. I smiled up at them as I handed Jake the baby and watched his face change into one of sheer love. He held her with utter care as he gazed into her eyes.

"She's amazing" He whispered as he stroked at her hair which was a dark shade of brown that she had gotten from me. He strode over to where dad was sitting and handed him Savannah. He held her like a pro and I couldn't help, but imagine him almost nineteen years ago, holding me.

"Andy, she's the spitting double of you" Dad sighed as he pressed his lips to her forehead. "We should go stand outside. They said we had to be quick." He handed the baby to Andy as he walked back over to me. "I'm so proud of you Riley."

The door opened again and Sammi and Jinxx crept in. I couldn't wait for the day where Sammi would be here. She would have to go through agony, but I wanted her to feel how amazing it was when she first looked into the eyes of her child. Sammi walked over to me first as she took Savannah from my hands. She looked down at he, the blonde curls tickling Savannah's face.

"Jinxx, I want one" She laughed. Jinxx smiled, but the shake of his head was dead on serious.

"Have you seen Andy's hand? I don't want mine to end up like that" Jinxx retorted as he pointed at the hand that was red and bruised because of me. I felt bad, but he hadn't complained since he knew I needed it.

"I'm sorry, Andy" I laughed as he shrugged. Sammi handed Jinxx Savannah and he modelled the look of Sammi. He was totally mesmerised by the fact that he had a baby in his hands. He looked at her for a few moments before handing the baby back to me and leaving the room with Sammi in tow.

As soon as the door was closed, it opened again with the two drummers. Sandra hurried over to the bedside as I handed her Savannah.

"Is it as bad as they say?" She asked. Well, it was the first time I had been asked that question, but I was eager to share my experience with anyone who would give me the time of day.

"It's not nice, but holding your baby for the first time makes up for it all" I sighed as Sandra passed the baby to CC and he started to coo over it. His face changed to a one that was marked with tears as he handed Sandra the baby before leaving. Ashley was quick to take CC's place and take the baby as Sandra made her exit.

"Hi, Savannah. Just so you know, I'm better than Uncle Jake" he whispered and grinned. He looked so out of place with a baby in his arms, but it looked so sweet. "She's so beautiful" He whispered as he handed the baby back to us. "I'll give you some privacy" He left the room and closed the door behind him.

"She's amazing" I whispered as Savannah looked at us one more time before falling into a much needed sleep. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek lightly.

"I'm sorry for calling you Ry."

Well that was the end. 26th February 2011 – 15th August 2011. I make it sound like it's dead ;) If anyone wants a sequel then tell me in a review and I'll be happy to make one. I've been thinking of making this like a series through Savannah's life. So it would be like Pulling Me Through Part 2 and Pulling Me Through Part 3. Tell me if you like the idea!
