Do You Remember Me?

Birthday

Chapter 1

I couldn't believe how blinding the pain was. I have been sitting here for an hour or two in this piece-of-crap hospital waiting room with severe stomach pains, yet no one has even asked my name.

Finally, I get fed up with all of the design and gossip magazines and the sound of that yellow square with the annoying laugh on the tv ringing in my ear. I stand up slowly trying not to make the pain any worse than it already is. I begin walking towards the front desk when I feel something, almost like a release, and the receptionist stares at me wide-eyed and call for a doctor.

I looked down to make sure I hadn't just pee-ed my self, I can't stand public humiliation. When I looked down I did see a puddle of something but it wasn't pee, no it couldn't be. there was too much. I stand there frozen.
___
Three nurses and a doctor charge into the room with a wheelchair and tell me to sit. "Why do I need a wheelchair?!"I ask. The doctor, who looks surprisingly young and very attractive, looks straight at me and replies, "ma'am your water just broke".

"What?!" I squeal. " That can't be possible! I'm not pregnant!!!" I yell.
" Oh my, I'm sorry to startle you like this miss but we need to get you to a delivery room," says Dr.Avery, or at least that's what his name tag says anyway. I get another excruciating pain in my abdomen and finally budge, sitting down in the wheelchair with my soaked-with-gross-stuff jeans.

We take so many twists and turns that I forget Which way is up and down, but I do know that the pain is getting worse and there is now a small pool of blood on my wheelchair. Finally, we make it to the delivery room, but I'm not sure if I should be more relieved or worried.

A thought pops into my head.
"I need to call my aunt!" I scream over all the bells and whistle of the current day equipment. "Calm down miss, you'll ne- ," I stop Dr.Avery before he can finish his sentence. " Calm down?! CALM DOWN?? I'm 17 years old and about to give birth to a child I didn't even know was inside of me?! So DON'T tell me too calm down! NOW, hand me a god da-ugh!!" I was going to say "god damn phone" but the pain was too much and my words crumbled under it.

"She's at 10 centimeters!" I hear one of the nurses yell. Then doctor Avery asks "please, tell me your name miss" . "Juliette Rightman," I reply right before another shriek of pain. the next thing I know I'm pushing, and HARD! After so many pushes and screams and hand squeezes and deep breathes that I can't count anymore I almost feel like giving up. Then I hear a small cry and my heart turns to liquid.

" One more big push!" the nurse tells me. I take the deepest breathe I can, reaching to every part of my lungs I gather all the oxygen and strength I can, then I push.

I see them bring my baby across the room. " Is everything alright?!" I yell, after noticing a slight blueness to my child's face. They don't respond, but even though I was close to throwing up with worry, I knew their time was better spent helping my baby.

Then my aunt Bea walked in and I embraced her in a hug. Her scrubs crumpled with the hug, and she smelled like vanilla, like she always does, it comforted me. "What's wrong with my grandchild?!" she yelled at the doctors but only one turned to give her a reassuring nod.

- If your wondering why my aunt called my baby her grandchild it's because she pretty much been my mom for the better half of my life. My real mom died when I was eight in a bizarre plane crash on her way home from a business trip. I never really knew my dad and Bea couldn't have children of her own so she took me in and I accepted wholeheartedly-

Finally, after what felt like forever, I was asked to hold my healthy baby girl. As I reached for my daughter- wow, it's weird to hear the words, almost like it's not real- and held her small peanut body in my arms I realized that I wasn't prepared at all. No food, no clothes, no toys, no where for her to sleep. But I felt like I was still forgetting something more important.

Then aunt Bea lit that light bulb in my head. " What's her name?" She asked. "I-I don't know," I stated, noticing the truth to it. I didn't think I was going to have a baby for years, but now there is one that literally just came out of me and I can't think of a name! I mean, there were the ones I had thought of for my seven kids, two pairs of twins one group of triplets.

But that was just a fantasy of my adolescent mind, this, this is real and it's defines my child's whole life. Then I remembered something my seventh grade English teacher, Mrs. Barnes, told me once. She said that all names mean something and she said one that meant loved one, oh what was it?! I pound at the locked up parts of my memories.

"Lily!" I almost yell. " Lily.." Bea repeats, like she's juggling the name around in her head. Suddenly she smiles and looks right at me, " I love it!" she exclaims.

By this point most of the nurses are gone except for one who looks fairly old. Then Dr. Avery walks in with a little clipboard. " I'm sorry to disturb this moment, but I need to ask a few questions. " Why, that's perfectly alright." Bea replies for me.

" Well, first of all, I understand that you were unaware of your pregnancy." He pauses waiting for me to respond, so I give him a small nod. " And have you consider any other options, like adopt-" I stop him right there. There was no way this baby would ever be anyone else's. She's been in my world for less than three hours but I couldn't care about anything more than her.

" Nobody is taking her away from me!" I say sternly. " I'll get a job and we can get all the supplies necessary and we can baby proof our apartment!" I say a little louder than normal. I look at Bea for her agreement but before she answers the doctor says " I was just explaining the options. The second question of our little quiz,"

He jokes but I don't smile or even move my face the slightest. " okay then, We need to know who the father is for the birth certificate?" I felt like I had just been hit by a bus of realization, if that's even a thing. The thought hadn't even come to my mind. I hadn't even thought about who the father of this child might be.

Heck, a few hours ago I didn't even know I was pregnant! Then a memory of the best summer of my entire life popped into my little train of thought.

- Last year for my sixteenth birthday, aunt Bea got me one direction tickets and I was/ still am as much of a directioner that is possible. Anyways, as I was entering backstage, yes I had backstage passes too, I bumped into all five of the boys. Zayn, Niall and Louis were too absorbed in their phones to notice my stumble/fall. But Harry and Liam couldn't have been quicker too help me up. Which wasn't my first personal encounter with the two.

In the week I was in that city I had very 'intimate physical' experiences with both of them. I know it sounds mean but you'd have to hear the whole story to understand. -

Those were the only two people I had ever had you-know-what with. I'm such a baby I don't even like the word.
I sat up a little straighter and looked right at Dr. Avery. " There are only two possibilities." As the words come out of my mouth I look at my aunts expression which seems to be shocked. She probably thought I was a virgin up until this whole baby thing.

" And who might they be?" asks the doctor. " It's either Harry Styles or Liam Payne." I state blankly and this time even his jaw drops. " We need a definite answer , and the child's full name ," he say clearing his throat, adjusting to the situation.

" Her full name is Lily Anne Rightman. I don't want her to have either of their lasts names or she'll publicized for her whole life." I blutter out noticing how this will not only affect my life, but lily's too.

"Okay, and the father?" he asks. "we need a name so that we can test they're DNA. It costs quite a lot to test both of they're DNA against lily's." he says.

" Can I have a bit to think?" I ask without thinking. " Take all the time you need." he responds. I sit back with my new born in my arms and try to think back to that summer so long ago....
