"That was perfect, Trinity. Just amazing. Baby number one is here, and it's a boy." The words were replaying over and over inside my head. I know what he said was true because that was why we were here, but it just made things ten times more real to me. I was a father, and Griffin was holding my son in his arms.
"How is he?" Trinity was panting, still trying to catch her breath from the effort she had exerted to birth our first child. "Is he alright?" I could understand why she was nervous. We hadn't heard him cry yet.
Weren't babies supposed to cry when they were firstborn? Wasn't that the way it went? Babies came into the world crying. That was what we had all been led to believe. So why wasn't our baby crying yet?
I held Trinity close to me then, nerves coursing through both of us. I didn't say anything. I didn't have to. Trinity had said the only thing that I would have been capable of saying at that moment.
