I had accepted that I'd never be a mother to a daughter. I had two beautiful boys whom I cherised. I was content and happy with them in my life.
I had never imagined I'd find myself unexpectedly pregnant 7 years after what I had declared "The Last Baby I Will Ever Have."
I certainly didn't imagine that baby would be a girl.
And that she'd actually like me. Love me, even.
My daughter.
I never imagined that my boys--my sweet, kind, radiant little boys-- would have a little sister.
A sister that they would look after, that they would take precious care of and whom they would love deeply.
I never imagined the day that my husband would one day hold in his arms a perfect little girl, with ivory skin and jet black hair while saying things like "How did we ever live without her?"
And that one day, I'd watch in amazement as she wrapped her tiny little hand around his finger.
Knowing the truth was that darling girl had the heart of the man whose hand she's holding and the hearts of this entire family wrapped around her sweet little finger.
