The Homeless Child

Seeing Holly

I walked in and I saw Holly. I walked over to her and her newborn. I took a seat in the chair next to her.

"What's the gender?" I kindly asked.

"It's a girl," she replied kindly not taking her eyes off of the baby.

"What's her name?"

"Sarah Linsey" she said smiling.

"That's a very pretty name, Holly." I said smiling at her. Holly looked at me and smiled.

"Thank you," she said before pausing. "I never did get your name."

"My name is Jennifer Anderson," I said. She smiled and looked back at her baby. "Oh I almost forgot!" I said as she turned and looked confused.

"Huh?" She asked.

"I payed the hospital bill."

"You didn't have to do that!"

"Yes I did. Listen Holly. I'll be back tomorrow after I get out of work okay?" I said and she nodded. I left the hospital and walked to my blue Honda civic which I drove home. When I entered my apartment, I was greeted by my German shepherd, Vern. "Hi Vern! I'm sorry that I'm late I had to go do something," I told her. She wagged her tail and followed me into my kitchen. I poured her a bowl of dog food and started to make my own dinner.

It was around 11 o'clock at night when I finally went to bed. Vern crawled up on the bed and laid at the foot of the bed.
