My youngest daughter calls in
Her two boys in tow
She is delivering my order
She is also very pregnant
September is her date.
The phone rings
It is daughter number two
She says what are you doing
I say I am chatting with your sister
The boys are eating my food and playing.
She says I have little girl here
Born twenty minutes ago.
My mouth falls open
I didn’t know it was today
I am suddenly animated
Excited
Daughter is well
Baby Arria Pixie is well
I am so happy
A girl amongst five boys
My pregnant daughter is momentarily sad
She is having another boy.
But quickly joins in the celebration.
Later I go down
Check out latest g-child
Take a photo
She looks like a newborn
Still with some guck on her
But sleeping so peacefully,
Mother is doing well,
Father very proud
Their life changes course today.
