Arranged

Prologue

My eyes were bloody red and burning as sweat slowly ran down my forehead. My cramped and trembling fingers hovered over the keyboard. I closed my eyes and, when I opened them again, the blog post was finished. It was like nothing I had written before. It has been only a month... I stared down at my daughter that lay asleep in my arms. I blinked several times, trying to make the tears go away. "I have some terrible news regarding your daughter, Ms.Halt. A group of doctors at this hospital ran multitudes of testes on your daughter and we still haven't figured out what is wrong with your daughter's body." the doctor said disappointingly. "Is there anyway to find out what's wrong?" I cried. He shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid you have to let her go. There's no way of saving her now. She only has a few days left."

My heart squeezed and the more I tried to hold in the tears, the more my eyes burned."Let my child go?" I thought. The doctor quietly stepped away and exited the room. "Let my first child go? And only a few days?" I thought. I squeezed the only daughter that I have in my arms and kissed her forehead as tears rolled down my face. The door of the hospital room quietly opened. I looked up and it took me a few seconds to see clearly that it was the most famous pediatrician, Edward Cohen, who was standing in front of me. Doctor Cohen's quiet steps approached me. "Doctor Cohen," I whispered as i grabbed his arm,"Doctor Cohen! Please help me!"

"She must be the one." Doctor Cohen said to himself."Please help me... please! I will do anything, I will do anything! I can give you all of my money! I can give you my house! I do anything, just help my daughter!" "I know the problem here." Doctor Cohen said calmly. My eyes widened. " Please remember to hand in your family record to the nurses at the front desk under my name." Tears began to form again."What can I do to you in return?" I asked. He thought about it for a second before he leaned in and whispered it. I quickly agreed, because in that moment, all I'd about cared about was saving my daughter. My one and only daughter. There's no other way of saving her. He was the best doctor and her life meant everything to me.

I handed my daughter over and he carried her gently in his arm. He existed the room before I could say any more."Honey, everything is going to be alright." My husband whispered and squeezed me in his arms. I nodded as the tears started to pour down. It took a few hours before Doctor Cohen returns back into the room with Vanessa in his arm. He walks in and closes the door behind him."OK, I have results and I know what's the problem, but i can't tell you." Doctor Cohen whispers and looks over his shoulder."What I can tell you is that you gave birth to a special baby... She is different from everyone else. She is not stable,yet."

"What do you mean 'not stable yet'?" My husband asks."She has the power that not everybody in the world has. From this day on, she is different. She will need more time to control her power. Right now, she is not stable because her power is controlling her. To make sure that in the future this doesn't happen again, she's going to have to take these medicines... Trust me, it will help." Doctor Cohen says."What do you mean by power? This doesn't make any sense!"I say. "This doesn't need to make any sense to you, but remember the deal." I looked him in disbelief. Should I even have trust this doctor? Is he really the best pediatrician?

"I got to go. I have another patient waiting for me. And like I said, I can't say much about it." Doctor Cohen says. He gets up and exists. He left the medicine on the table next to me. I looked down at Vanessa in my arms.
