NovelBookThe doctor chuckled as he spoke, "Don't worry about the baby's skin being so red now. In my experience, kids like this end up
having the fairest skin when they grow up! She'll definitely take after Mrs. Lopez."
"That'd be wonderful... just wonderful!"
Everett reached out to hold his daughter, but his arms seemed to disobey him, awkwardly positioned in every which way!
"Place your hand here, ah, yes! Lift your right arm a bit, there!" The doctor patiently guided him and, when that failed, simply
assisted in positioning him correctly.
Finally, the tiny infant was securely cradled in his arms.
Whether it was a true blood bond or not, the wrinkled little baby opened her eyes in Everett's embrace!
She scanned her surroundings slowly and then—suddenly started to cry!
"Waa...waaah..."
Hearing the noise, Karen rushed in from outside!

Seeing the infant in Everett's arms, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"She's finally here! Dorothy made it through!" She looked up at Everett, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"..." He was so overwhelmed with emotion, he had otten to ask.
The doctor, standing by with a smile, announced, "It's a girl, a precious little girl!"
"A girl, that's great." Everett instantly said, "A girl like Dorothy."
Karen, observing how he held the baby, frowned in mild disapproval, "You don't have to be so stiff, those big hands of yours are
more than enough to support her! She won't fall."
He stood there, looking like a robot, afraid that even breathing too heavily could cause him to drop the child.
"New dads are always like this."
The doctor, having seen this scene unfold many times before, found nothing unusual.
Karen glanced inside, "How much longer before Dorothy cane out?"
"They said they want to observe her a bit more."
With the baby crying for just a few seconds, Everett was already breaking into a sweat, "Karen, she keeps crying, what do | do?"
"Crying is good for newborns! Don't panic."
Seeing him already on the verge of a meltdown, Karen couldn't help but look forward to seeing how Everett would handle
fatherhood.
In the maternity room, Dorothy asked for swater to freshen up and tidied her hair before allowing the nurse to wheel her out.
She didn't want Everett to see her in a state that would make him worry.
That man, always so thoughtful!
Outside, Everett, holding the baby, was craning his neck to see inside.
The moment he saw Dorothy, it was as if he could finally relax, his lips curving into a smile.

"Honey, you did great."
"I'm out!" Dorothy waved at them before finally reaching to hold Everett's hand, "It wasn't tough at all! | was chatting with the
doctor, and before | knew it, she was born."
Of course, he knew she was just trying tofort him.
"Letsee our daughter." Dorothy found his way of holding the baby amusing.
Everett leaned in, placing their daughter beside her, "She suddenly cried a while ago, but after | rocked her a bit, she fell asleep
again. Very calm, very obedient."
"Newborns tend to fall asleep quickly."
Dorothy placed her gaze on the infant, and despite having been a mother before, couldn't help but marvel, "She's so tiny..."
Her hands, her head, all so small.
Karen leaned in, giggling, "l saw her open her eyes earlier, wow, such big, deep double eyelids! Looks like she got them in the
womb, Dorothy, just like you!"
