The Italian's Baby

Chapter 2- SAMPLE

           

The entire time the police were talking to Lilianna, she didn't release the baby. She even stood next to the medics as they checked on the baby.

"Ms. Guzman, do you know how many people were in the car?" Detective James asked her,

"Two adults beside the baby." She said, hugging herself from the cold.

Thankfully the rain loosened up a bit.

"Umm, what are they going to do with the baby?" She asked,

"Well, the car is in really bad shape. Tomorrow we'll check for any identification and if we fail to find any then we'll have to give the baby up for adoption." He said and walked away.

Lilianna turned back to the medics and watched as they checked the baby's heartbeat.

After they finished checking her, the next problem was who would take care of her for the night until some other type of family was contacted.

Lilianna was more than happy to volunteer and they told her that she had to take the baby down the police station tomorrow.

The medics gave her a car seat that they had and she placed it in the front and made sure the police didn't see it because well that would be a violation. She took the baby and placed it in the seat. She was able to leave the crime scene behind without any other problems.

After driving for some time, she finally reached home.

She quickly took the baby into the house so it wouldn't get sick from the rain. She shut the door and turned on the lights.

The baby girl was still very much awake and squirming. Lilianna walked down the hallway and entered her dark room.

After turning on the light, she laid the baby down on the bed and unwrapped the wet blanket.

The baby was wet so Lilianna took off all her clothes leaving her naked. The baby's skin was cold so she decided to give her a shower.

Lilianna walked into her bathroom with the baby in her arms. She filled the small egg shaped tub, but only a few inches.

"I can't keep calling you 'baby' and I don't know your name so I'll just name you for the mean time." Lilianna said, talking to the baby.

She simply stared up at her with sparkling eyes.

"How do you feel about Isabella?" Lilianna asked as she sat on the side of the tub.

"Nah, too common." She said and threw in some scented soap.

"What about... Lia." She said, smiling down at her.

The baby smiled back a toothless grin and stuck her finger in her mouth.

"Lia it is." Lilianna said,

Lilianna rolled her pants up to her knees and turned into the tub. She stuck her feet in and rested Lia in the water.

Lia giggled and splashed the water.

Lilianna laughed and rubbed Lia's body with soap.

She let Lia soak in the warm water for a bit until she took her out and rinsed off the soap in the sink.

Lilianna grabbed a towel and wrapped Lia in it.

She walked into the room and realized that there wasn't any clothes for Lia.

Lilianna remembered about her nephews and walked into the extra room.

When her two nephews were small, she kept diapers and some clothes in the closet.
