December 20th
Ella's POV
After three painful hours of labour and stressing over whether Leo would make it in time, I finally caught his scent coming into the hospital.
"Leo," I sobbed as he came into the room seconds later. Tears of both happiness and pain flooded my eyes as I found his stunning blue eyes amongst the machinery and wires of the delivery room
"I made it," he said, kneeling beside me and kissing me gently.
"But how many speeding tickets did you get along the way?" I joked.
"I can afford a speeding ticket or twenty but not to miss this," he replied, taking my hand tightly.
I'd missed him an unimaginable amount. It had only been two days and he had planned to be gone a week. I'm not sure how I would have coped.
Just then Rosa came back from a quick trip to the restroom.
"Oh Leonardo, thank the Goddesses," she said, kissing him on the cheek. "I thought you'd never get here in time."
