It had been a long and hard nine months. Alex still didn't go out alone, and she carried mace and a gun with her everywhere. Although she wished all the time that she could erase that night, that it had never happened, she still loved the life growing inside of her with all of her heart. She had nobody in her life; she couldn't risk getting close to anyone for fear of being found. It wasn't fair to be bringing a child into her world right now, but she was grateful none-the-less to have someone to share it with. And maybe one day they could have a real life, a good one. Her water broke when she was at work. Luckily, it was during a lull, so all she was doing was wiping down the tables, and there weren't any customers anyway. She was rushed to the hospital, where she was in labor for hours. When at last her child, her daughter, entered the world, she was exhausted, tired, and in incredible pain, but the tears she cried were happy ones when the nurse placed her daughter into her arms. And when her daughter, whom she named Laura Elizabeth, first opened her eyes, Alex nearly cried again. Her eyes were green. They were just like Alex's own eyes, looking back up at her. She didn't have his eyes. |
