"You can do it honey" I heard my mother who was holding my hand.
"You have almost done, one last push" the doctor told me. I pushed for the last time and I heard my little girl crying.
"You did a great job, honey" my mom said letting go of my hand. The doctor passed me my daughter. She was very beautiful.
"Have you thought for a name?" I nodded.
"Evelyn" I said with a big smile and with tears I'm my eyes continuing watching my little girl.

"You need some rest, I'm taking her to the other room" I nodded to her and she took Evelyn from my arms. She went away and I fell asleep.
After 3 hours I woke up and my mom was with me.
"Hey mom"
"Hey honey, how do you feel?"
"I'm good thanks, can I see my daughter?"
"I'm afraid no"
"Why? She's fine, isn't she?"
"Yes, she's fine"
"Than, why can't I see her?"
"Because I Don't want you to get attached to her"
"Why?"
"Because I don't want you to suffer"
"What do you mean?" She didn't answered.
"Mom, answer my question! What do you mean?" I was practically shouting.
"You are going to put her for adoption"
"What?! No! Never!"
"Yes, you are. The social worker will pick her up in 2 days"
"No! She's not! I want to keep her. She's my daughter and I love her. I won't put her for adoption"
"Yes and until than you won't see her" she said this and she left the room. I tried to stand up but I was tied to the bed.
"MO-JEANETTE, COME BACK. I WANT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER. LET ME SEE MY DAUGHTER. PLEASEE. I WANT HER WITH ME" I shouted at her.
"Please let me see my daughter" I whispered and I was crying now.

I know I'm 19 but I can look after a daughter.

I continued crying and whispered something like:'I want my daughter' 'my little princess' 'I want her with me'.

*2days later*
They didn't let me see Evelyn in there 2 days and I'm feeling too much emotion at the same time. I was sad, angry with my mother and a lot of other bad emotions. I spent the days crying and every time that someone entered in my room I felt joy because I thought that it was someone with my daughter, but every time I was disappointed because it was always some doctor without her.

Today the social worker has to come to pick her up. The morning my mom came in my room like every mornings.
"How do you feel?" I didn't answered like the past 2 days. I didn't want to talk to her.
"Stop being a baby, answer me!" I was watching her with tears in my eyes, but I didn't want to talk to her.
"You know? I did what was best for you. You are too young to have a daughter, you are not ready"
"I am ready and I would prove it to you if you let me keep her. It's not too late"
"Oh, it is. They came an hour ago" I didn't answer and I started crying. They took away my daughter. My little princess. I didn't mind if my mother was in my room, I just started crying thinking that I won't see Evelyn anymore.

*a week later*
The doctor said they I was fine and that I could go home. The through was they I wasn't fine, they took the best parto of my life, and I couldn't live without her. I know that I've known her just for 10 minutes but this 10 minutes were the best 10 minutes of my life.

I couldn't go home because I lived with my mom and I didn't want to see her so I went to my friend house. I've known Chris for most of my life and he's my best friend. He is older than me so he live alone. He knew that I was pregnant but I didn't tell anyone what happened at the hospital.

Knock

I knocked at his door and he opened it 30 seconds later. In these days I was constantly with my eyes watered. And I needed very urgently to cry and to stay with a friend.

"Hey Lizzie, how are you? How is your daughter?" I couldn't answer. I just run in his arms and I broke down crying.

"Hey, what happened? Where's Evelyn?" I had already told him the name I choose for her.

"M-my m-othe-r f-for-ced m-me to g-give her I-in a-adop-tio-n"
"What? You're kidding right?" I shocked my head no.
"Oh Lizzie I'm so sorry"
"C-can I stay h-here?"
"Of course, come in! There is even Scarlett in the living room" I entered and I went through the living room. I saw Scarlett and when she saw me she immediately got up and she run to me.

"Lizzie, what happened?" I just cried in her shoulder not giving her an answer and I was happy that she didn't ask again.

Chris made dinner for the three of us but I didn't eat so I went in the guest room, where Chris put my things.
I stayed in the room crying silently for the whole night.

After that Lizzie went upstairs Scarlett asked me what happened. Of course she knew that she was pregnant but she didn't understood what happened.

"Y-you know what happened?"
"Jeanette put Evelyn for adoption and Elizabeth didn't want to" she was shocked, like me.
"Of course she didn't want to, she took away her daughter"
After this sentence we kept the silent thinking that we will never forget this day.
The 4th of July 2006.
