Too Young (Travlyn Fic)

Katelyn

As I hold her in my arms, silent tears run down my face. All those months of worrying. All those months of waiting. All those months, gone.
I didn't know could love a child this much. I didn't know I could love someone this way. I didn't know.
Just a few moments ago, she wasn't here. She wasn't here and I was gritting my teeth in pain from my ten hour labour. But it is worth it. It is worth it to hold her in my arms. She is my heart now.
I remember first going into labour. The excitement and the nerves.
"Donna!" I cried out, nerves hitting me like a truck. I was panicking.
"What!" Donna called back. We were in my house.
"I think.... I think I went into active labour. I think my water broke!" Footsteps come running. Donna comes into the bathroom.
"Okay, Katie. Let's stay calm," she said as she tapped her foot.
"Calm, stay calm," I muttered to myself. I took a deep breath.  A contraction hit me.
"Breathe, Katie," Donna sounded as if she was panicking, but just the slightest bit.
"You, good?" I asked once the contractions over.
Donna smiled at me.
"Yes. I'm fine." She said. I smiled. I didn't know then, how long labour would be. I didn't know then the absolute happiness I would feel in ten hours.
I hold her close as she latches on.
Abigail Travis. Abby. My Mija.
It's like when I held Alina for the first time, but better. Alina. Aphmau.
Travis.
Would she ever know Travis? I could show her pictures.
She has my eyes and a tuff of white hair. She is me and him put together.
Abigail Travis.

She falls asleep in my arms. I never want to let her go. But when Donna asks to hold her, I let her.
Donna who's done so much for me. She gingerly holds Abby, smiling softly at her.
Smiling softly at her godmother.
I feel a pang in my heart when I realize that she will never meet my dad, her grandfather. Nor Aphmau or Alina.
I thought about Travis, but not about this.
Someone enters the room. It's Logan and Kitty. Donna puts one hand to her lips. Abby is sleeping. They creep in quietly.
"Catrina came to visit. She has Rollo and Yip," Logan whispered. Kitty has the biggest look of excitement on her face. It reminds me of mine when I first met Lina.
"Can I hold her?" she asks. Donna looks at me.
"Ask, Katie," Donna says. Kitty turns to me, her big eyes silently begging. I smile and nods. She practically explodes with excitement. I smile. I've come to love Kitty. She's only a few years younger than I am, not that she knows, and she reminds me of Aphmau. She's funny and happy and bright.
I use to wonder what I would be doing now if I didn't get pregnant. But now, I can't imagine life without Abby. My little Mija.
I watch as Kitty gently takes Abby from Donna. Donna makes her sit down on one of the hospital chairs.
I see Abby's eyes open.
"That's your Auntie Kitty," I say. I see Kitty smile even more. "And your Uncle Logan and your Auntie Donna." Abby closes her eyes again.
"She is so pretty," Kitty sighs with delight. "I love babies. I wish I had a little sister."
I look over at Donna, who blushes softly. Logan takes Donna's hand.
"Don't you like your brothers?"
Kitty flushes.
"Oh yes! I mean Yip is kinda annoying, because he never listens to me and Rollo only wants to play cars, but I love them," she assures me. I laugh.
"Oh, Cathrine May," Donna sighs, kissing her hair. Logan rubs her back.
It's weird to think they were in my situation once too. They were once alone.
I'm too young for this, too young to be a mom, too young to be alone, but the world works in funny ways. I've become a stronger person I think. I've definitely changed.

Abby begins to fuss.
"Oh, she wants her mama," Donna says, lifting Abby out of Kitty's arm. Logan leans towards her and whispers something. She nods.
What did he whisper I wonder. I don't ask though.
"Well, we should go see Catrina and make sure Rollo and Yip haven't burned the house down," Logan chuckles.
"Dad!" Kitty protest.
Donna passes Abby to me. Immediately, happiness fills me. My baby. My Mija.
"Come on, Kits." He kisses Donna's forehead. "Congrats, Katie. I except you guys to come for dinner soon."
"Of course," I say. Logan waves to Abby before pulling Kitty out of the room.
"Bye, Mom!"
"Bye, Kitty."
I rock Abby gently, before bringing her up to feed.
"So," I say. Before I can say another word, I yawn. I'm not that tired anymore. I had a short nap earlier, but I guess it wasn't enough. "What do you have to tell me?"
Donna jumps and her face flushes red.
"What do you mean?"
"I see that look on your face, spill."
"I don't know if this is the time..."
"Spill."
Donna sighs.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! Now spill!" I rub Abby's back, gently.
Donna takes a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant."
I bite my lip to hold in the squeal.
"Boy or girl?"
"I don't know." Donna flops into the chair. "How is it you always worm information out of me, Katie?"
"It is one of my many talents. Why didn't you want to tell me?"
"I didn't want to take away from Abby's birth!"
I laugh.
"Hodge pudge. This just makes it better! They'll be playmates."
Donna smiles.
"They will be."
I smile. I have changed. I've become better. I'm not as violent, but I'm still tough. I'm still strong.
The world works in funny ways. I lost people but also found some. I may be too young to be a mom, too young to be hurt, too young to be far away from all the people I know and love. I may be but I am.
And I've become stronger from it.

*******
Helllloooo. I'm back. Sorry I did not feel like writing last week. But this chapter makes me really, really happy. Katelyn is healing and Abby is so cute in my opinion.
Anyways the total reads on this book is 870 I think or higher. That is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.
If you have any questions about the book, feel free to ask. I know some people are waiting for Travis and Katelyn to make up and find each other. The answer is soon hopefully.
So on the whole sequel/prequel thing, I'm not sure which one to write first, however I will be starting a NEW Aphmau Fanfiction.
It's going to be all about Garroth and told from his perspective! It's going to be called Silent Words. It's going to be about Deaf Garroth. I'm really excited to write that one. Tell me if you'd be interested.
Anyways, thanks for reading. Sorry it took so long.
Peace.
