Chapter 19: Adoption

"Speedy P.O.V": As of right now i'm in the hospital thanks to some stranger off the street. I was walking with my suitcase when my water broke. Thank god to that man. As they wheel me down the hall in a wheelchair the perfect stranger was right by my side. I looked up at him and he smiled down at me. Next thing i knew was that i was going into labor. About twenty minutes later i heard my baby crying. I wanted to cry but right now is my time to think. Why? I have nowhere to stay. I have no money. I have no income. I think it's best if i give my baby up for adoption.

Doctor: It's a girl. Do you have a name?
Speedy: Emma...Emma Mia Gonzalez.
Doctor: *looks at stranger* Are you the father?
Stranger: No sir. I just saw her water break so i brought her to the hospital.
Doctor: Glad you did.
Speedy: Doctor can i give my child up for adoption?
Doctor: Yes, we just need you to sign papers saying that it's okay for us to put Emma into the system.
Speedy: I'll sign them.
Stranger: No need. I'll take her.
Speedy: I don't even know you.
Stranger: You won't know her future parents either. Plus if i get her you have a better chance of seeing your child again.
Speedy: Fine. What's your name?
Stranger: Jamal.
Speedy: I'm Jennifer.
Stranger: I'll take care of her i promise.
Speedy: I trust you.

The doctor handed me my child and i kissed her before i kindly signed her birth certificate. I made sure it said my name and his name. I just want her to know incase she ever want to see if her birth mother ever exisisted. I then got stitched up and rolled down the hall to a regular hospital room. I have a day to heal enough for me to walk. I guess it's time for me to do what i got to do. Jamal handed me a card and told me to keep it on me at all times. Will do. He is so fine and wants to be a father, you don't men like him often.
