Julia's P.O.V.
One week later, we moved to a new house which was alot better. Life was pretty much going on. We decided to forget our past and live our present. Life in Sweden was quite peaceful.......The best part was that there was no Jessica here to worry us.

11 months later:-
Toby and Julia are still in Stockholm. They had left the creepy house just a week later.
They now lived in quite a better house. 

1 more month later:-
Toby's P.O.V.
When I found out that Julia was pregnant, I was totally shook. Surprise, terror and exhilaration, all rolled up into my mind.
When I saw her in the first few weeks, vomiting all the time, I literally prayed to God 1000 times a day for cancelling her parturition. I cried every day because she was fully bed ridden and just survived by drinking milk and vomiting it out immediately.
They told us that it was a daughter. I was going to be the father of a cute little daughter.
10 weeks later, we were in the final sprint. Just a few weeks to go. It could happen any time now. I can look back and say that I've gone through several distinct feelings.

One day I came from the office and saw Julia faltering in pain and screaming in agony. Her stomach had swollen awfully. I wasn't mentally ready. I patted her stomach and felt the baby kicking. I think it was time. I took her to the hospital. Julia was screaming all the way. I felt so helpless. My hands sweated as I held the steering.

We reached the hospital. I took her to the labour room.

One hour had passed. I was in the waiting room. I was extremely scared and was just praying to God that everything goes on smoothly. The emotions were overwhelming. I so badly wanted to be a good father. I wanted to raise a child who is engaged with the world, who cares about her parents and never faces a day of hardship.
The doctor came out of the room, I immediately got up. He hugged me and said, "Congratulations Mr. Toby Watson, you're now a father. You can meet your wife and daughter."
I rushed into the room and saw a cute little angel crying in her mother's arms. I carefully took her from Julia and kissed her.
"What should we name her?" Said Julia.

"Marlene" I said.
"A strong and beautiful young lady who loves to love others but is yet, afraid too. Has many friends but only a handful whom she treasures, is prideful and gorgeous inside and out. Is the most beautiful gift of God and her existence is totally worth it." I said emotionally.
"Marlene Watson.......beautiful." Said Julia.

Julia's P.O.V.
Honestly, I don't think I can explain how it felt. It felt like life itself. Ups and downs and a depth of emotion that really just grabs on and shakes me around like nothing I've ever felt before. It made me feel small and helpless and full of love........so much love.
