So...
Here I am... a new mother...
My baby came into the world today... A daughter.
Yes. Today I welcomed my daughter, Violet, to the world... with Dad, Dal, Rick, and Zuilyun right there with me. I don't think I'd have been able to do it without them... They're... they're my family. I don't think I would have let my family miss it as it is.
My baby is so beautiful... though she looks like her father...
She's better off without him.
But... The only thing I will thank her father for... is for giving me the chance to be a mother... to such a beautiful baby... Violet is... She's perfect.
A chubby little girl, with a set of lungs to rival a singer. Tuft of dark brown hair... and my eyes, as it seems. I think she's got his nose and mouth... I can't believe my daughter is here now...
It feels like just two days ago I'd found out I was pregnant with her... and it also feels like just yesterday she'd started to move about inside me... Gods, giving birth to her was the most painful part, but...
... it's worth it... My mother went through it, my grandmother went through it... everyone who is a mother went through it...
It's a beautiful thing, this... literal labor of love... and with all of the encouragement I had around me, my little Violet was brought into the world as safely as possible... She's beautiful, she's perfect, she's... just what I was waiting for... my excitement and impatience to meet her paid off... because she is...
She's my baby girl.
And I won't let anyone hurt her... not in body, nor in mind... I won't let a repeat happen... Dad won't let anyone hurt her... No one will hurt my daughter. And her coward of a father will never meet her, never see her, never know what joy I have now that my daughter is here in this world.
Yes... my daughter, Violet, is too good for that father of hers... he burned me... though I will never really forget him, I will forget about... most of him, considering Violet is his daughter, as well, though he'll never meet her. My memories of him will burn away, for the most part...
I won't let my daughter be burned in the same way I was...
