Chapter 132

*17th June 2007* Billie: It was 3am when Adie called me.I quickly ran up and she said "the amniotic sac has burst!!" The whole bed was wet... I immediately called an ambulance, who took us to the hospital. On the way, I called Tre and screamed "The baby is coming, the baby is coming!!" The doctor and a few nurses were already waiting in the delivery room. "Are you the child's father?" Before I could answer Adie screamed, "I want him to stay, please!!" said Adie in pain. I went to her and held her hand tightly. "Everything will be all right." The doctor advised me to massage her back to calm her down. Her birth pains became more and more painful... I felt helpless. I saw her in pain but couldn't help her. Several hours passed before the doctor finally gave the sign. "Mrs. Sheppard, you have to start pressing now." Adie clung to me and screamed the pain out. "Very good, I can already see the head," said the doctor. I massaged her back soothingly and Adie pressed and pressed... "Congratulations, it's a girl... Would you like to cut the umbilical cord...?" the doctor asked me. I looked at Adie, and she nodded happily. I carefully took the clamp and cut it... "Welcome, little girl!!" the doctor said smiling. I couldn't stop staring at this cute angel. She was precious. The doctor came over and handed Adie her daughter. "She's beautiful," I said and kissed Adie's forehead. I noticed how relieved I was that mom & daughter were healthy. Tears of joy ran down my face. I lovingly took my little family in my arms. "How would you like to call her?" "Charlie has always wanted a girl," said Adie. He loved the name Bella. 17th June 2007, 10:15am Bella Sofia Sheppard was born... The nurse took Bella briefly to wash her. Then she brought her back to our room. "Would you like to hold her?" She gave her to me, and I took her softly in my arms... "Hey, my angel..." Bella had black hair like her mom and the beautiful diamond blue eyes from her dad. Grandma Charlie was right, it only took me like a second, and I was in love with her... She was the most cutest baby in the world. She was laying in my arms, sleeping... Adie looked happily at us and tears of joy rolled down our cheeks...
