Part Seventeen: Aly

5:45 p.m. May 17th, I was talking to Bria just a second ago then it felt like I wet my pants and my fetal monitor started to go insane. She went home to get my stuff and never came back. Anyway I reach for my phone and call Axel and all I have to say is "Axe the baby is coming." before he replies "I'm on my way, is it okay if I bring Ryan along for emotional support?" I say "Yes, but you and you only can come into the delivery room with me." he replies "Fine just breathe it'll be okay." I hang up and contractions start to hit, hard! I wanted to die it hurt so bad but the scariest part was I wasn't supposed to deliver for at least another month. I was scared for my baby. 6:38 May 17th, Almost an hour later Axel and Ryan got there I was freaking out and they were both great. 12:48 May 18th, Almost five hours later the baby really started to show up I went from 5 cm dialated to 9.5 cm dialated within about two hours. The nurse comes in and says to me "Are you ready? Its time to start pushing." I say yes and she pushes me into the delivery room. I'll spare you all the gorey details of the wonders of childbirth but you'll be happy to know that Lucy Taylor Hale was born into this world on May 18th. Why didn't we go with Genevieve for the name? Well after she came out I looked at her face and Axel and I swore that she glowed for a solid second. Lucy means light and we both liked the name. We looked at each orher and said "Lucy" at the same time. Anyways now I'm in my room and she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen She has the bluest eyes and I hope she gets her dad's eyes she has light brown hair and my nose and lips. A voice outside of my door says "She's beautiful looks just like you." I look up and see my dad I proceed to say "Thank you. Why are you still in Ophelia?" he sighs and says "My fianceé, Rebecca got a job in this hospital as an OB/GYN and pediatric surgeon and I'm the neurosurgeon my fianceé and I are moving here so that we can be closer to you, and so that you can be closer to your new half-brother." I am shocked. I say "Fine is that all?" He shakes his head and says "I'm petitioning the court for partial custody of you." I say "No, no you're not because you walked out on me and my mom to go be with that tramp Rebecca, I don't know if I have any memories with you and frankly I don't want any because what kind of person leaves a three year old six weeks after her third birthday stay away from me and my child, goodbye Father." he turns and leaves and then I don't even know how to feel. Then I look back at Lucy and my world makes sense for a tiny second.
