"Shh shh shh shh, your gonna be just fine.... What should I call you...... How about Daisy?"
"Gurgle gurgle"
"There that's settled it little poppet. Ohh I wish I could keep you Daisy" Chloe whispered sadly.
Daisy's big round blue eyes twinkled, she had soft fluffy golden curls like a newly hatched chick. Daisy was only 3 days old and Chloe, her birth mother couldn't keep her. Daisy was a mistake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chloe had wrapped her baby up in a soft white muslin, she lay in a small basket surrounded by a sea of feathers. Chloe's family were pushed for money and would be out ragged if the found out about Chloe's child. So she had no choice. Chloe had decided when her baby was born she would stay with her friend Rose for 3 nights. After that she would take Daisy to the forest, make her child a small hut out of foliage to conceal her and then Rose and Chloe would take turns sneaking into the forest to feed her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Salty tears dripped from Chloe's big blue eyes and slowly slid down her pink cheeks. She reached out and stroked Daisy's milky white skin, her small baby mouth opened she sighed showing her soft wet gums. Chloe continued to stroking the tiny new borns perfect skin, feeling every feature of Daisy's face. Embedding her, pearly skin, peach pink baby lips, adorable button nose, long golden lashes, mop of soft baby fuzz and her sweet milky smell, into her memory forever. Daisy yawned again, her eyelids flickering she fell into a peaceful slumber. Chloe pulled ferns and bracken creating a small green room hiding the baby from sight. Chloe then slipped inside the bush and kissed Daisy lightly on her cheek, then pulled the branches across.
Then she was gone.....
