Prologue~The Beginning

"God, Michael you are sleeping outside from now on,"

The woman screamed at her husband as she held his hand.
The man glanced at his sweating wife with horror. He did not comment because she was in labour.

The woman cursed the man for not pulling out. Right now she would have been a successful business owner of her own clothing boutique.

She cursed the day they ever met.
Why did she have to fall for him?

Another contraction hit her stronger than the previous one. A scream tore up from her mouth.

"Somebody get this child out of me," She said through clenched teeth.

"The nurse said to wait till you are...." Michael started to say but the woman interrupted him.

"Shut the fuck up and find the goddamn nurse," She said as she took slow breaths as her contraction slowly eased to a throb.

The man quickly scurried away in search of a nurse.

"It will be over soon and I will get to see you my baby," The woman spoke to her belly as another sharp contraction hit her making her toes curl.

Michael came back with a nurse on his heels.

She smiled at the woman who gave her a glare back.

The nurse finally catching on flipped the blanket covering the woman's elevated legs.

She was fully dilated.
"Let me go call the midwife," She said while walking away.

Michael wiped away the sweat on his wife's forehead and placed a small kiss there.

"I love you Lauretta," He said and the woman squeezed his hand as a reply.

The midwife quickly walked in and  sat on the little stool infront of Lauretta 's open legs.

"You are doing great Lauretta," The middle aged woman said as she snapped on a pair of blue rubber gloves.

"On the count of three I want you to push for me,okay?"

"Okay," Lauretta said in a hoarse voice.

"One,"

"Two,"

"Three, push,"

Lauretta closed her eyes and pushed with all her might, a small scream coming out of her mouth.

"That is so good, I can see the baby's head ,push again,"
Lauretta pushed again while squeezing her husband's hand.

"God," She said as she laid her head back on the sweat covered pillow.

"Last one Lauretta I know you can do it,"
Lauretta breathed in and put all her energy in the last push.

She laid back with her eyes closed as the midwife cut the umbilical cord.

She gave the baby to a nurse who wrapped the baby in a white blanket with the hospital's logo on it.

Michael received the baby from the nurse and looked at the beautiful angel in his arms.

"Congratulations," The nurse said with a smile.

"Oh my God Lauretta look at her," Lauretta opened her eyes and looked at the baby.

"Give her to me," She said smiling softly.

"Oh my God you're so pretty," She said while holding the baby close to her chest.

The baby moved her tiny fisted hands in the air making her father coo at her adorableness.

"Welcome to the world baby Anneah,"
Lauretta whispered down to the baby.

The couple gazed down at the cute baby feeling happy that their life was now complete.

Little did they know that that was going to be the last time they would see their daughter, baby Anneah...............
