Anne

Chapter 4

I spend a couple months locked inside of the cabin worried the cops might find me. My baby bump has gotten larger it's harder to walk with my big stomach so I've been laying in bed reading the same book over and over again. To help my anger and food I've taught myself to hunt and trap animals I murder them,

skin them then I cook them over the fire.

The largest animal I caught was a deer it took me a whole day just to carve it but the meat was great. I've been feeling sharp pains in my stomach for the last week I'm getting worried, I don't know how long I've been pregnant for. Maybe it's time but I'm not sure so I just go back to bed.

I don't sleep for long I jerk up with an agonizing pain I scream a little but I hold it in I know what exactly what to do, I stumble down the stairs my ankles are so swollen I'm in so much pain I can barely stand it but I suffer because I know it'll be over soon enough. The pain gets so much worse I put some well water on the fire so it'll boil I make a little bed on the ground with already blood stained fabric and a bloody pillow.

I'm in so much pain I have to lay down I take my undergarments off and I start to push, I feel movements in my stomach I push as hard as I can sweat is pouring from my face I push one more time and I hear crying it's a girl, I carefully put her in the bowl of hot water I make sure her head stays out of the water I lay back down and I start to push again but this one comes out much quicker.

It's a boy, I lay him down in the bowl just like that I have two screaming babies at my side I lay back down for just a minute but then I get up I cut the cord off of the boy "What do I name you to?" I ask knowing I'm not going to get answer. I look at my children thinking about what I'm going to name them, they are still screaming so I take them out of the water and wrap them in old clothes. I carry over to a clean part of the carpet I'm still thinking what the hell am I going to name them? I look at my little girl and right when I see her I see Lilly they have the same blue eyes and face structure "Lilly." I whisper starting to cry but I suck it up and I smile I then look at the boy now I really don't know what to name him he doesn't look anyone I know but a name pops in my head "James." I whisper. I pick them both up in my skinny arms I put them on both hips they stopped crying and now they are just looking at me Lilly has my smile it's been a long time since I've seen it and James he has some spikes of brown hair but not much, he had big brown eyes which are adorable. Lilly has blue happy eyes and you can see a little bit of blond hair. I kiss both of them on the forehead and I walk up the stairs and I put them into that baby's cradle that can fit two it's a big cradle for just one baby, I carry the cradle that was once the parents room but now my room, I carry them in there and they quickly fall asleep.
