Captain Swan Fly Away

Past Returns

In 1999, Emma was sixteen going on seventeen, living on the streets. Even though she lived on the streets, she always was clean trying to hide that she was homeless. She still went to high school, knowing her education was going to help her get out of the streets. She carries a backpack with her textbooks, and full of her only possession including a baby blanket. She only has four outfits in her backpack. It was dark and Emma found dinner from stealing a box of pop tarts, knowing her next meal was the next morning at school, even though the food was bad she has worst. Emma was on the way to her normal spot to sleep and she felt like she was being followed. She does not own any weapons. She sees a shadow and the next thing she knows she was being hit against a wall and being dragged down the ground and getting her jeans torn off of her. She screamed, "Get off of me!!" He was on top of her and put his penis inside of her, Emma can feel it inside of her."Stop it!! Get out!!" As she was screaming and crying, he laughed at her. The next thing Emma knew she was blacked out. She woke up the next morning very early in the morning before the sun came up alone on the ground, her legs were covered with her blood. She was breathing hard and grabbed her backpack and went straight to school. She got to school early and used the school shower as usual in women's the locker room to clean off everything that had happened last night. She went to class and tried not to think about what happened the night before.

Present time, a few days later after they had the sonogram of Hope, Ashley visited Emma before her shift began. "Hi, Emma."

"Hi, Ashley ." She gets out of her desk.

"How are you?"

"I am doing good, besides feeling bloated and lower back pain. I am doing fine. How about you?"

"I am doing good. I am sorry about last time when I and Alexandra saw you."

"That is alright, you did not know." She puts her hands on her baby bump,

"How is the baby? You are definitely showing now."

Emma smiles. "She is doing good. She is moving around a lot, I love feeling her move inside of me. I just hate having no control of my bladder and getting uncomfortable to sleep at night."

"There are these long pillows that you can buy to help you sleep at night."

"I will see, Killian has been giving me these massages at night to help me fall asleep more. Oh, did he tell you about the sonogram?"

Ashley smiled. "No, he did not."

"Wait right here." She goes to her purse to get the sonogram and returns to Ashley . "Here is our most recent sonogram of our little girl." She hands the sonogram photos to Ashley .

"Oh my gosh, Emma. She looks a lot like you. She is smiling."

"Yes, I know. She is so adorable, I cannot wait to meet her. I have a question. Were you ready to be a mom when Alexandra was born?"

"Emma, no matter how many parenting classes you take, you are never that prepared to be a parent. Once she was born, there was an instant connection between us and my maternal instincts just came to me."

"I am just hoping that my maternal instincts come quickly..."

Ashley placed her hand on Emma's shoulder. "Emma, your mother instincts will come to you instantly, knowing how much you love her already, you will love her more once you meet her. She will not want to leave you."

"I love her so much already. I want to be the best mom that I can be for her."

"You will, Emma. Killian will help you know how amazing caring husband he is to you know. He will be a great Daddy to your little girl. If you need a babysitter, I am available."
