It was late April, the temperature hovering around was just perfect, and the blue sky stretched to the horizon as I just began closing up the café.
"Avery, can you come to the café now please," I asked over the phone to which she agreed. In the meantime, I began wiping the tables, the minute I was done with that I noticed her parking the car, so I used that time to go into my office and grab the papers.
"I am here" she beamed as she entered bringing the little bell above the door to life.
"Heyo"
"And hello to you too little one" she bent facing to my stomach as she said that...I actually lost the amount of time everyone did that to me.
"I actually wanted to ask you if you could take care of the bakery until Allison grows enough or until you feel she is ready to take over"
"Freya what are you talking about, you can do that yourself. You talk as if you going to die soon" she meant it as a joke, but I knew what was coming for me but laughed along with her and continued to say "Just in case"
"You know I would do anything for you" I pushed forward the documents and she signed it and said "I doubt this document would come in handy"
=====
It was then I felt a sharp pain run through my spine, I immediately held onto my stomach and yelled hysterically "I think she is coming" the way Derek ran inside, the bedroom clearly announced he wasn't ready.
"Let's go. Ahhh!" I could barely stand the pain, I screamed every five seconds, the breathing exercises that I had been going through had not been helping. The minute we got to the hospital a gush of water came out of my body making me shriek. Surprisingly Derek seemed extremely calm.
"It's time," the doctor said "Freya, I am going to need you to push"
And I listened.... I pushed and pushed long and hard. An hour passed before I made any progress. The head finally showed. To me, the pain resembled a watermelon being pushed through a hole the size of a lemon. Good thing it wasn't twins.
"I don't think I can do it," I said, my body was hot, heavy and in pain. It felt like this nightmare would never end. It was as if I was going through hell and back, though the fire continued to burn. I wanted this agonizing pain to end now. Right now.
"Do you need water" Derek chanted.
"Is the position comfortable enough for you?" he asked again. I squeezed his hand tightly trying to direct the pain somewhere. He was just as nervous as me and I could feel that he wanted to somehow take some of my pain away and boy would I be glad if he could.
"Keep pushing you are almost there" The doctor reminded me.
"It's fine Freya, all you need to do is keep breathing" Derek encouraged me. Why the hell is he so calm when I am freaking out.
When I looked out, I could see Re, Peter, styles along everyone pacing up and down. It was kind of funny how they fought of so many villains and yet a baby coming out of me is making them nervous. What surprises me is how did they manage to get here so fast?
It went on like this for a while. Breathing, pushing. It was a repeated cycle. I started feeling drowsy and I could feel myself beginning to pass out. God...No please not like this. Let me see my baby at least, please. Let me at least get a glimpse of her. Finally, the drowsiness subsided...almost as if God granted my wish but the baby didn't seem like she wanted to come out, anyway.
Please come out Allison, I thought to myself, I held you long enough inside of me, it's time for you to come out and see the world.
Finally...
Her head finally popped out of my body so quickly because of the blood being slippery, it wasn't until the next long push that got the job done, Half the baby exited my body, and They were able to pull out the rest of the body. Immediately after that the doctor cut the umbilical cord and placed the crying baby in my arms. She was just as how I imagined her cute and adorable; I could feel Derek being almost afraid of her. I looked at her tiny head, hands, and legs. I could feel my eyelids turn heavy, but I was greedy I wanted to fight for it more time. I kissed Allison's forehead despite her being coated with blood and whispered I love you as I held onto Derek's hand. Finally... the drowsiness took over me and I had no more energy to keep my eyes open, the last thing I heard was "Prepared the operation room" before I closed my eyes.
For when she is 20
I kept a little photo album for you in this box along with a few other kinds of stuff and important documents. I am not sure if you would like it or if it's a little out of style, but I just hope when you open It you would think of me from time to time. This age is the most beautiful age you can ever be... well at least for me it was. I know you going to come soon, and I am super excited to hold you, I wonder what you going to look like. Oh my god, I can just imagine how tiny you will be. just the thought of you getting born is so exciting I honestly can't wait to bring you into this world.
This is probably the last letter you would ever get from me, but I want you to remember that I am still with you I will always be with you. You are going to do great in life, I know it. From the moment you were in my tummy I had a feeling you were going to do some great things. I might not be able to see the day you take your first steps, the day you graduate nor any of the important things in your life but no matter what you do I want you to know that I will always... always be proud of you.
Part of the journey is the end so hang onto those good memories and tell everyone you love them as often as you can. Enjoy life and live each day as if it's your last because none of us know if today will be the last. And when it is your turn, I don't want you to look back at any part of your life and regret it and most of all remember that I LOVE YOU more than you will ever know!
I am sorry.
Lots of love my little one.
Mum.
