Little one,I’ve tried to write this, like, fifty-thousand times, and it just comes out like shit. I can’t put how I feel into words, especially how I feel about you. I know it seems like I didn’t want you at first, and I treated you pretty badly in the beginning when I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do with you, but I love you now, you know that, yeah? Alo— your dad, once said I didn’t know how to love anything, and it’s always stuck with me, and if I’m gonna prove him wrong with one person, I’m glad it’s you. We’re gonna show him, huh? I think--- I think I might love him, too but I’m---- I’ve fought so hard for you and maybe you’ll never even know it, but there’s nothing I want more than for you to come out all healthy and happy and maybe a little chubby and hopefully not with Al-- your dad’s hair. I’m just terrified. The thought of not being good enough at looking after my own little person who needs me is something I can’t even wrap my head around. It’s hard to think of you as person. Maybe not when you kick me in the bladder at 4am and keep my up all night wiggling, but yeah. You’ll be here soon. Really soon. And fuck, it’s terrifying. I’m so scared, but I’ll also only be okay when I can hold you and I know you’re alright. You’re somewhere where I can see you and touch you and keep you safe. I’ve nearly lost you far too many times, and I made us homeless just so I could keep you. It wasn’t a smart idea, I get that, but I’m not letting any fucker take you away from me. I’ll probably never even give this to you, but the point’s still there. I love you, Gracie, and I’m shit-scared out my head and not ready, but I’m sort of excited to see you.Love forever,Mini. Mum. Mummy. xoxoxox.
