New Beginnings

"New Beginnings" As Ashley gazed lovingly at her daughter, a question suddenly popped into her mind. "What will we name her?" she asked, looking up at Avan with a curious expression. Avan's face lit up with a smile as he thought for a moment. "I've been thinking about that," he said. "I was thinking maybe we could name her Emily?" Ashley's face scrunched up in thought. "Emily is a beautiful name," she said, "but I'm not sure it's the right fit for her." The nurse, who had been quietly observing the scene, chimed in. "What do you think about Avery?" she asked. Ashley turned to the nurse with a surprised expression. "Avery is a great name," she said. "I like it." Avan nodded in agreement. "I like it too," he said. "But what do you think, Ashley? Is Avery the one?" Ashley thought for a moment, her eyes fixed on her daughter's peaceful face. "I think it's perfect," she said finally, a smile spreading across her face. Avan's face lit up with joy. "Really?" he asked, his voice filled with excitement. Ashley nodded, her eyes shining with tears. "Yes, really," she said. "Avery is the perfect name for our little girl." As they gazed at their daughter, now officially named Avery, Ashley and Avan both felt a sense of contentment wash over them. They knew that they had made the right decision, and that Avery was going to bring them joy and happiness for years to come. The doctor, who had been quietly working on the afterbirth, looked up with a smile. "I'm glad you two have decided on a name," she said. "Now, let's get started on the paperwork. We need to fill out the birth certificate." Avan nodded, taking the pen from the doctor's hand. "I'll take care of it," he said, his eyes fixed on Ashley and Avery. As Avan filled out the paperwork, Ashley couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. She had given birth to a beautiful baby girl, and she had Avan by her side to share in the joy and excitement of it all. The nurse, who had been quietly observing the scene, smiled warmly at Ashley and Avan. "You two are going to be amazing parents," she said. "Avery is one lucky girl to have you both loving and caring for her." Ashley and Avan exchanged a glance, both of them feeling grateful for the nurse's kind words. They knew that they had a lot to learn, but they were ready to take on the challenge of parenthood together. As they finished up the paperwork, Avan turned to Ashley with a smile. "You know what we need to do now," he said. Ashley raised an eyebrow, curious. "What's that?" she asked. Avan's eyes sparkled with mischief. "We need to call our families and let them know that Avery has arrived," he said. Ashley's face lit up with excitement. "Yes, we do," she said, already reaching for her phone. Together, Ashley and Avan began to make the calls, eager to share the news of Avery's arrival with their loved ones. As they talked to their families, they couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and excitement for the new chapter that lay ahead.
