What We Need Kelly's POV

I was staring at my little angel while breastfeeding her. Her hands were balled and so small and soft. She looks like me when I was young. The resemblance was undeniable and I'm thankful she looks exactly like me. Actually, I'm scared and nervous because the baby may resemble Pierce and he would find out about her real father when that happened. So when she came out looking like me, I was relieved.

Pierce was sitting beside me on the bed, watching the baby. When I looked at him, he didn't seem to be blinking. He was just staring at her face with a soft expression.

The door swung open, Interrupting us. A nurse entered carrying a piece of paper and a ballpen.

"Good morning, ma'am and sir. I came to ask the name of your baby. You can write the name here."

Pierce accepted the piece of paper and the ballpen before he looked at me. "What would be her name?"

I turned my head to the window. A smile crept on my lips as I saw the droplets of white cotton-like balls outside. It's so beautiful, just like what I'm feeling right now.

"Snow.." I whispered and looked at my baby again. She's white as snow. Soft as snow and beautiful like the blue sky.

I saw a small smile on Pierce's lips as he wrote the name on the paper before he handed it back to the nurse. The latter was about to leave when my little angel started crying.

"What's wrong, baby?" I asked gently and looked at her.

The nurse went beside me and checked. "Your milk might not be coming out, ma'am. That's a common problem for new mommies"

I looked at her worriedly. "Do we need a breast pump or is there another way?"
