Prize (Dance Moms Fic)

Prologue

The year was 1991 and the day was June 11th in a city called Chicago, in the state of Illinois and at a hospital called the University of Illinois Hospital, a 24 year old heavyset woman with brown hair and green eyes named Abigaile "Abby" Lee Miller, who is a dance teacher, was seen on the second floor from her doctor's appointment, she was close to the elevator as she passed a room, then she saw something that caught her attention, she saw that it was a newborn baby and his parents weren't around and a doctor, who was a female and her name was Dr. Emily Brooks was in there with the child. She then walked in.

"What an adorable little baby." Abby said.

"It's a boy." Dr. Brooks told her.

"Sweetie, where are your parents?"

"His mother passed away giving birth to him and his father died from a heart attack and they didn't have a lot of family left." Dr. Brooks answered.

Abby felt her heart break for the newborn, he had lost his birthmother and didn't have a lot of family and that meant that the boy was an orphan, the baby boy looked at Abby and smiled and the dance teacher felt warmth in her heart, Abby smiled back at him, which was a sign that she was already attached to him.

"My name is Emily Brooks and i'm a doctor here at UIC hospital, Ma'am, what is your name?"

"My name is Abby Lee Miller and since he's an orphan since his mother passed away, can i ask you something, Dr. Brooks?" Abby asked.

"What's your question, Miss Miller?"

"Do you think that it is possible for me to adopt this cute baby boy? because he's attached to me and i'm attached to him for some reason."

"Well, since his birthparents are no longer here, and they didn't have a lot of family, yes, it's possible for you to adopt him and i'm glad you stepped up to the plate because we would have sent him to an orphanage if you didn't. I'll get the paperwork to make it official." Dr. Brooks told her as she headed out of the room to get the paperwork as Abby picked up the boy and held him as she sat down.

"Hello, cutie." Abby soothed.

The newborn boy felt warmth from being held by his new mother, then she kissed him on the top of his head and then he yawned and fell asleep in Abby's embrace, knowing that he as safe and loved.

"I don't know what to name you because i'm stumped on names. But you are the best thing to ever happen to me since i started my studio 11 years ago." The dance teacher admitted, then she turned on the television in the hospital room and the channel was on ESPN, and on it was Sportscenter and they were talking about the Stanley Cup between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames from last month, which was won by the Flames. "I got it, i'll call you Stanley, like the NHL's Stanley Cup and for a middle name, it can be Damon. Stanley Damon Miller, that has a nice ring to it."

The baby cooed, liking his new name, but it wouldn't be official until Dr. Brooks came back with the adoption papers, then the door opened and in came Dr. Brooks with the papers and a pen.

"Ok, you just need to sign where i've put the x's and i'll sign and fill the remainder." Abby was given the pen, she carefully put the boy on the bed and signed on the lines that she was told, then Dr. Brooks signed and filled the remaining information, making the adoption official which meant that Abby was his mother and he was now officially named Stanley. "Did you come up with a name?"

"Stanley Damon Miller." Abby answered and then Dr. Brooks was given the pen and filled the remaining forms, then Dr. Brooks picked Stanley up and gave him to his new mother and Abby held him and kissed Stanley on the top of his head as Dr. Brooks smiled and left the room. "Are you ready to go home? It's in Naperville."

Stanley laughed which meant that he was ready to go, then Abby and her newly adopted son left the UIC Hospital, took a CTA O'Hare-Douglas train from Polk to Clinton Street, walked to Union Station and caught a Metra Burlington Northern train to Naperville, and got home and Abby's parents, Maryen and George took a liking to Stanley the minute they saw him.
