Chapter 15

Grace's P.O.V

We arrived at the hospital as quick as possible. Hatty hasn't held the baby yet. Her mind is still set on adoption. I don't blame her. He is perfect. A lot of hair, blue eyes, he weights only 5pounds and 3 oz's, even being 2 days over due.

"Mamrie, Hannah. We are in here!" I say, as Mamrie and Hannah come into the room.

"Oh. He is beautiful Hatty!" Hannah says, as her and Mamrie walk up to the crib he is sleeping in.

"Well done little bean. Can I hold him?" Mamrie asks.

"Whatever. I don't care!" Hartley spits.

Mamrie rolls her eyes and picks up the little boy. He carefully placed him in her arms then kisses his little button nose.
As soon as Mamrie held him, someone came running into the room.

"Maddi!" Hartley exclaims.

"Where's my son? Well done you. I heard you had him" Madison says, lying on the bed with Hartley.

"Oh well I need to talk to you." Hartley says.

Mamrie puts the baby back into the crib and with me and Hannah walks out.

Hartley's P.O.V
Madison walks over to the crib and stares at the little boy.

"He is so beautiful. I can't believe we have a son." Maddi says, picking up the baby and cuddling him. Maddi goes back and sits on the bed with the baby and I.

"So what did you say you needed to talk to me about?" Maddi says, staring at the little baby.

"Um...I am putting him up for adoption." I explain, finally taking a look at my son.

Maddi looks up at me, in pure disbelief.

"You haven't asked if I wanted this. This is my son too. Maybe I wanted to look after him with you. We could be parents I want him. He is beautiful why don't you want him." Maddi shouts.

"Maddi this isn't your son. You know it. We are only 15. I can't do this, I want to be normal. It isn't your son." I scream.

"Have you even held him yet. Maybe you don't feel the love for him till you hold him."

"No I haven't."

"Well hold him." Maddi says, trying to pass me him.

"No. I don't want to."

"Hold him. Hold him. HOLD HIM!"
I try to fight her off but I lose as she ends up putting the baby into my arms.

"I DON'T WANT TOO!" I son, cradling my son.
mom, Mamrie and Hannah come racing in.

"I think you better leave." Hannah says, taking Madison by the arm and pulling her away.

"I didn't want to hold him mom." I sob, as I cuddle into my mom.

"I know, pass him here." Mom says, I pass him to her. She then put him into the crib, still sleeping peacefully.

"I know that you don't want him, but isn't it nicer if you named him. No one should live without a name, however old..."

"You are!" I say finishing off her sentence.

"Yeah." She says, kissing my head.

"Ok. I'm going to call him Sebastian Eli Helbig." I say, staring at my son.

"Sebastian, that is beautiful."

"You do know that we have to take him home for a few days before we sign the adoption papers." Mom explains.

"Yeah." I sob.

"Ok. Let's go and check with the nurse wether we can go home. Mamrie stay with them. Hannah come with me." Mom says dragging Hannah by the hand and out of the room.

2 minutes later

"You can come home baby." Mom says, kissing me on the forehead.

"Finally. But do I have to have Seb in with me?" I ask, getting changed into my normal clothes.

"Honey. I know...I know you don't want to really bond with him. But it is only a week. I'm sorry, but I can't look after Eve and Seb." Mom explains.

"Oh ok. But you promise me, only a week?" I ask.

"I promise."

Hannah gets Sebastian out of the crib and place him into his car seat. Mom helps me I into a wheelchair, and helps wheel me out of the hospital. While Mamrie and Hannah tackle the car seat, the hospital bag and the diaper bag. Mom helps me into the car while Mamrie straps in Sebastian. Hannah sits inbetween me and Seb. Mamrie sits in the passenger seat and mom drives.

"Are we going to pick up Eve tomorrow?" I ask mom.

"Yeah. Have to night to let him settle in." Mom explains.

I sigh.

We get arrive home quicker than we did when we got to the hospital. Mamrie helps me into the house.

"Welcome home Sebastian!" Mom exclaims, while bringing Seb into the house.

"Right. Here, take him up to your room and put him in the Moses basket. And you try and get some sleep." Mom explains putting Seb in my arms.

I hold Sebastian loosely. To make sure I don't get to attached to him.

"Mom, do I have to have him with me?" I ask, knowing that if I do then I might bond with him.

"Yes. He is your son, and I know the circumstances but he is yours. You only have a week to bond before he goes." Mom explains.

"Now get to bed!" Mamrie says, helping me carry Seb upstairs and place him into the Moses basket.

"Mamrie?"

"Yes little bean?"

"What happens if I accidentally bond with him?"

"Then. You do what is right. If it feels right then keep him, but if it feels right then give him up. What you think is right. If you think he is going to have a better life being adopted then so be it!"

"Thank you so much. I promise I will try and love him
But if I don't then that's ok. Because I can give him up and he will have a better life!" I sob.

"That's ok little bean, now go to sleep."

I nod and quickly fall asleep. The end of the day, the end of the day I had a son. The 9/30/2016.
