Fractured Ties: Reneé Rapp

Chapter 15

It has been a few months, in all honestly it's been the best few months. As soon as they thought life couldn't get any better.. excitement and nerves fill the air as Maisie's water breaks. The moment they've been eagerly anticipating is finally here. The rush to the hospital begins, with Reneé, Billie, and Lainey all by Maisie's side, ready to welcome the new addition to their family.

In the hospital room, the atmosphere is a mix of anticipation and nerves. Maisie, supported by Reneé, grips onto her girlfriend's hand tightly. Billie and Lainey are there, offering encouraging smiles and words.

Nurse: (Entering) Alright, we're ready for you, Maisie. Let's bring a new life into this world!

The labor progresses, and the room echoes with a mix of Maisie's determined efforts and the soothing words from her loved ones. The tension slowly transforms into excitement as the cries of a newborn fill the room.

Nurse: (Smiling) Congratulations! It's a beautiful baby Girl!

Maisie's eyes well up with tears of joy, and Reneé places a gentle kiss on her forehead. The family shares heartfelt moments, welcoming the newest member into their close-knit circle.

Maisie, overwhelmed with emotion, cradles her daughter in her arms. Reneé lovingly looks at both of them, a sense of completeness in the air. Billie and Lainey share smiles, witnessing the beautiful scene.

Reneé: (Whispering) Our little miracle.

The tiny fingers of the newborn grasp onto Maisie's, creating an unbreakable bond. It's a moment filled with love and the promise of a future woven with shared joys and challenges.

Reneé: "What should we call her?"

Maisie looks down at her baby.

Maisie: (without hesitation) "Esme,".

Reneé: Esme... it's a beautiful name. Your mother would be so proud.

Maisie gently strokes the baby's soft hair, feeling a deep connection to her mother's memory. Billie and Lainey exchange warm smiles, realizing the significance of this choice.

Maisie: Esme, you're a little piece of heaven.

They spend the next moments in shared admiration, marvelling at the new life they've welcomed into their lives. Esme, wrapped in warmth and love, becomes the heart of their home.

They take their baby girl home, ready to start their new journey.

Reneé lovingly tends to Maisie, ensuring she's comfortable and well taken care of.

Reneé: You've been through so much, my love. Let me take care of you.

She adjusts the blankets, fluffing the pillows, and softly brushes Maisie's hair. Their eyes meet, filled with the silent understanding that words cannot fully express.

Maisie: Thank you, Nae. I appreciate you being here for me.

As they share a tender moment, the warmth of their connection envelops the room, creating a peaceful haven for their growing family.

They hear Esme crying and Maisie's gets up and she gazed at their little creation. Cradling Esme in her arms, she whispered comforting words, while Reneé watched, admiring the tender care Maisie bestowed upon their daughter.

Reneé: You're a natural, baby. Esme is lucky to have you as her mom.

Maisie looks up at Reneé, tears glistening in her eyes.

Maisie: I never thought I'd have a family like this, Nae. I'm so grateful.

Reneé smiles, caressing Maisie's cheek.
