Broken: A Maksyl fanfiction

Chapter 12

4 MONTHS LATER

"Push, Meryl!" My mom says as I clench her hand in an intense pain. "Push! You can do it, sweetie!"

Sweat poors down my face as I clench my teeth and push again. I squeeze my eyes tightly shut and try to forget about the burning sensation everywhere. I feel like I've been stabbed a million times everywhere and that the knives are being shoved into me and twisted around in my intestines and in my spine and in my pelvis. I scream in an agonizing pain as I try to fight my way through this. I know I don't have much power left in me and I look to the nurse frantically for help.

"You're doing great! Just one more push." The nurse reassures me, and I clench my teeth so hard I think they might crack and fall out. I push with the last bit of strength I have left and suddenly most of the pain floods away and I feel relief. A babies cry fills the room and my mom smiles in joy.

"Meryl you did it!" She cries stroking my back and tucking the hair out of my face for me. I sigh in relief and now focus on my baby.

"It's a girl." A nurse says and hands a tiny bundle to me.

I look into her big crystal clear blue eyes and feel a loving sensation so strong in my chest. My eyes well up with tears as I smile down at the best thing in my life.

"She looks like you," my mom says with a smile.

"She's beautiful," I whisper to no one in particular.

I lay there for hours with her always with me, and me and my mom go through names. Finally I decide on one.

"Her name is Violet." I say and a smile escapes me. I stop to enjoy this moment. Everything was perfect. Well-almost everything....
But I quickly push away the thought of Maks and my baby's father out of my head.
I had something I loved with all my heart now and something that made me so happy. I love Violet and I am going to spend the rest of my life being the best mom I can be for her.

2 DAYS LATER IN CALIFORNIA: Maks' P.O.V.

It's a Sunday night and I have no plans. I sit on my couch and flip through channels as the night turns cold. They're all boring channels and I continue flipping, flipping, flipping and then stop suddenly.
I stare at the TV in shock. Standing in front of me on channel 5 news is Meryl Davis. My face goes hard and I stare at the TV. The headline reads "2014 Gold Medal Olympian and DWTS Season 18 Champion Gives Birth". Since she is an Olympic gold medalist she must have made the country wide news. On the screen is a beautiful Meryl Davis holding a baby and being interviewed by a reporter. The first thing that catches my attention is the baby. It's eyes are big and blue. They are the clearest and bluest eyes I've ever seen and they pull me in. She's a beautiful baby and has dark hair just like her mother. But the eyes don't match Meryls, I assume they must match her fathers. Meryl's smile stretches across her whole face and she looks so happy as she's interviewed. I smile slightly to myself but it quickly fades and an aching feeling in my chest rises. Tears well up in my eyes and I turn off the TV and toss the remote into the couch next to me. I suddenly feel cold and I get up and go to bed, not realizing that tomorrow I would do the craziest thing I've ever done in my life.
