Testing fate

Part 10

*Selena's POV*

"One more big push, Sel. You can do it!" Taylor said helping me push through the pain.

 

I pushed as hard as I possibly could but the pain was becoming too much but I knew the faster and hard I pushed the sooner the pain would be over with

 

"It's a boy!" The doctor as the sound of a baby crying filled the room.

 

"A boy?" I asked and the nurses began to clean him off.

 

"Would you like to hold him?" The nurse asked.

 

I shook my head and turned my face so I wouldn't regret my choice to give him up.

 

I didn't even have the courage to pick the parents. I had my adoption councilor pick them out and make sure not to tell me.

 

"Would you like to name him?"

 

"Brayden. The new parents can pick the middle name," I whisperer trying to keep the tears at bay.

"Thank you for coming in Ms. Gomez," Sandra said as she shook my hand and took a seat at her desk.

"Thank you for finding out this information on such short notice," I said taking a seat in the chair in front of her desk, placing my handbag on the floor by my feet.

"As I'm sure you know usually with a closed adoption I am not able to tell you where the child is and who has then but this being a special case, I had to. So, also as you know, we were able to get a swab of his DNA at the hospital and we took a swab of yours and had it testing, and I got the results back last night," she explained placing her hands on a manila folder on top of her desk.

I swallows hard as my eyes fell onto the folder. "And?"

She picked up the folder and unfolded the flap before taking out the piece of papers that held my fate.

"You believe that Brayden son of  James and Leilah Alexander?" She asked and I nodded making sure they were the same name I heard when we went to the hospital.

"The DNA did match," she said placing the folder.

I inhaled a breath. I was glad that I was right. I knew who my son was but the worst part was I didn't have him with me. He would never call me mommy. He wouldn't ever come to me when he needs someone to hold him.

"Thank you so much," I said shaking her hand and picking up my bag before leaving.
