Unconditional Love: A Mother's Gift

Be Happy

Destiny walked back to her bedroom carrying Robin her arms. She then closed the door and locked it in case Madison tried anything more.
Destiny walked to her bed and put Robin down then Robin crawled to sit by Stevie's side.

Robin was confused about what happened; so in the most kid friendly way and not to confuse Robin even more, Destiny explained that Madison was sick. Of course Robin thought it was the kind of sick as in a cold or some other type of illness. Destiny told Robin that Madison was sick inside her head and that she would have to go to a different type of doctor and hospital to get help.
Also, Destiny told her about Madison having a baby, minus the part about Mathew being the father.

"Des...go check on Madison. Even though she tried to hurt us, we can't just leave her all alone." Stevie said. "She still needs to deliver the placenta. She could get really sick if she doesn't."
Destiny nodded and walked out of the bedroom. She walked into the living room and saw Madison on the floor with blood pooling underneath her.

"Madison!" Destiny dropped down to the floor next to Madison. "Open your eyes please."
Madison stirred; she was pale, drained of all color. Her breathing was shallow. "Destiny..." she said as she opened her eyes just a little. "Please...forgive...me. I just wanted...I just wanted someone to love me. Mathew is the perfect guy and...I wanted what you have. I can't take back anything I've done but...I now realize how much bad I've done. I've hurt you and Mathew...and so many more people."
Destiny had tears rolling down her cheeks.
Madison kept on going. "I'm sorry...I'm so so sorry. Please Destiny. Forgive me. And...also...please take care of my baby. I know he will have a wonderful life if he were by your side and with Mathew. Your daughter won't be the only child." Madison once again stopped taking to gather some strength. "I know you'll be a wonderful mother." She finally said.

Destiny had been angry with Madison for all things she had put her through; all the pain she had gone through because of this woman in front of her. But now, Destiny looked at Madison who was now broken. She felt sympathy for Madison. She also knew that she should forgive her because after all, forgiveness is for yourself, not for the other person. Only then will you be able to move foreword. Destiny took a deep breath and said. "I forgive you Madison. And yes, I will take very good care of your baby. I promise."

Madison smiled weakly and said. "Thank...you..." and the next moment Madison took her final breath. Her eyes closed and she was gone.

Destiny sobbed; she grabbed a blanket and pulled it over Madison. She knew she had to keep Robin and her mother from seeing what happened to Madison.

She slowly walked back to her bedroom and as soon as she did, she gave Stevie a look. Stevie understood and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Robin was looking down at the baby with a small smile of her face. She then looked up at her aunt Robin who was standing close by Stevie. Robin smiled sadly at her little niece. Even though Robin was only three years old, she understood what her aunt Robin was telling her. This baby would be joining Robin and Ethan.

While Robin had her moment with her aunt Robin, Stevie wiped her tears and was rocking the baby back and forth. She was talking to him and her heart swelled. She thought now that Madison was gone, this baby would now need a home; she wouldn't mind having another grandchild. The baby held on to her finger in a tight grip. Stevie then stopped talking as she heard the baby struggle for breath. She began to panic.

Robin stared back down at the baby with tears in her eyes; she bent down and gave him a gently kiss on his forehead.
"Mommy..." Robin began. "Sing a song to the baby, so he won't be scared."
Stevie looked down at her little girl then back at the baby. Her heart broke as she knew in her heart what was going to happen.
