I'll Be there for You

Chapter 1

So, I will be doing this by dates. I think it'll give a much better detail and all. I will probably be going back and forth between the present and memories of Nia. And no, it isn't a diary. It's just things that happened in the past and I promise it'll make sense. Hope all of you enjoy this and please comment and vote. Thank you all:)

Oh, and if there is something you don't understand, please feel free to comment on it.

I woke up feeling a lot more tired than usual. I was on my side, thinking how wonderful it would be to have my baby girl in my arms. I smiled at the thought and placed my hand on my enormous belly. I sat up slowly, aware that my husband was probably still asleep, and headed down the stairs and to the kitchen.

I reached the fridge and saw a note from Ethan. I took off the magnet and started reading it.

Nia darling, I'm so sorry I left this way. I know I should be there with you, but I don't think I'm ready to settle down. I'm only 22 years old and I still want to met people and see the world. Hope you and that girl have a great life. -Ethan.

I reread the note about ten times, memorizing every word that he had written down. Finally, I realized that I was going to be a single mom. Even worse, I knew I would be made fun of by all the girls that were in my class. I crumbled up the paper and threw it away, not giving a care in the world if I ever saw his face again.

I didn't cry, I had to be strong for this baby. I wouldn't need anyone's help and I definitely didn't need Ethan. and that is how I moved on with my life, never looking back and never thinking about the past or Ethan.

I woke up this morning, knowingmy baby was comming today. I called up my neighbor, telling her I would be going to the hospital. She insisted on comming along and I just couldn't say no. 

I was already in the waiting room when I got the pain. I gasped and held on to the seat tightly. "Nia, are you okay?" Julie asked from beside me.

It took me a while to catch my breath, therefore I wasn't able to asnwer. I was panting fast and hard. "The baby is comming." I said out of breath. She looked at me terrified and then reacted fast. She got all the nurses to get a doctor and help me into the delivery room.

From there, I was in labor for three painfull hours. pushing and screaming and crying and sweating. Even though I woulnd't wish this on any woman, It was worth it. 

The first time I saw Indiana, held her in my arms, the world seemed to stop turning. All I could see through my teary eyes was the most beautiful thing in the world. Julie was also crying along with me and I coulnd't even believe how much she resembeled her father.

She had my red, curly hair and my small nose, but she had her father bright blue eyes, his lips and his fair skin. All in all, she wa beautiful. "What will you name her?" Julie asked, right before any nurse could even get a word out of their mouths.

I stared at my baby girl for another second before answering. "Indiana Oscars." I said softly, kissing her tiny nose. She lifted one of her small hands and I put my finger on it. she closed her hand and I could feel more tears forming.

"That's a beautiful name Mrs. Oscars." A nurse said. I looked up at her and smiled. "You have a very healthy baby, and very beautiful too." she had a beaming smile on her face, and I coulnd't agree with her any more.

"Thank you." I whispered. After al that, I was able to rest, along with two other mothers. I lay on the hospital bed, unable to get any sleep. I just kept smiling and thinking about Indiana. I knew this girl was very special, and I loved her to death.
