An audible scream could probably be heard all around Boca when Teagan had answered her phone to hear the news - yes the second baby Johnson had been welcomed to the world. “I’ll visit first thing tomorrow - okay? Don’t let him do anything too cute until I’ve arrived!” Teagan had done plenty of shopping before of course, baby toys by the bag full were waiting on standby for the day the little boy was born. But looking over all the soft bears and trucks she felt like it was all wrong. Girls were just easier and what if he grew up to hate her?
The next morning she did the best to put these worries aside as she pulled up to the hospital, it would all go well of course, he was too young to truly hate anyone and everyone loved a cool aunt Teagan. She was beaming as she peaked her head into the room, “How’s mama doing?”
It was a long labor, and Evalee was grateful to have some downtime as just her, Dylan, and little Mason, before her visitors arrived. At the sight of Teagan though, Evalee’s eyes lit up. She had become such a special person to her, and their family, and she knew Teagan would be an integral part of Mason’s life. “Come in, come in.” She had tired eyes, but there was something beautiful about the after-glow of a new mother. “I’m doing well...I’m sore, but...that was always a given.” Mason was sleeping on her chest peacefully, the sound of his mother’s heartbeat soothing him.
