Poppy's Pov:

It's been 12 months since Alexandra passed and 9 since Ryker, Sal hadn't been home for months now.

I'm coping with everything but I'm going to have a baby in a few days so I can't be stuck in my thoughts when I have a life to care for.

I was cleaning the kitchen when I felt a gush of water running down my legs. I grabbed my hospital bag and, walked quickly to the nearest hospital.

I got checked in, and they checked how far along I was , it felt weird, but my whole situation isn't normal either.

They said I was only five centimeters, and that since this was my first time having a baby it would take a while.

I was reading a magazine when I got this really intense pain in my body, I clutched to the railing of my bed.

It soon became frequent and the nurse came back to check on me every other hour, she said that the pain was just my body preparing for the baby, and that I was now seven centimeters.

I was now really doing anything to help keep my mind off the pain. When I had the urge to push, the nurse hadn't been back for the past three or four hours.

All of a sudden the doctor walked in and checked said I was now ten centimeters and ready to push.

After four hours of grueling pain and screaming, there was a cry not from me but from my new son, the nurse placed him on my chest.

Poppy:Hi,hi baby boy I'm your mama

I whispered, as I pepper kiss in his head.

Nurse:What are you going to name him

Poppy:Ryker... Ryker Brooks Jellen

Nurse:That's a very original name, dear

I weekly smiled.

Poppy:Thanks... it was my brothers.
