Violet Secrets

Chapter one: Violet eyes

      "You have to push!" The nurse ordered the woman. "The Baby is coming!"
"Okay!" The woman said, screaming in pain as she pushed out the tiny baby. All her pain went away as soon as it had arrived.
"It's a girl!" The nurse said happily as she picked up the baby. "We'll be right back with her, we just have to run some tests." The nurse smiled at the happy couple in the tiny hospital room before leaving.
"See, Melanie, that wasn't so hard." The man next to Melanie said, smiling at her happily. "Now we have a family as we always wanted.
"Oh I'd like to see you give birth!" Melanie barked, causing Brad to back up a bit.
Melanie and Brad Blooms were a regular couple living a regular life, and now living it with a newborn.
Melanie was a beautiful woman with fair, clear skin and light brown curly hair. Melanie has gorgeous emerald green eyes, which practically decided her life for her.
Brad had dark brown straight hair and light skin like Melanie. His eyes were chocolate brown. He was tall and slender, and loved his wife to death.
"What should we name her?" Brad asked Melanie eagerly. "I've always like the name Maple."
Melanie scoffed at the name. "No, I will not stand to have my daughter named Maple!"
"Well then, what do you want to name her?" Brad asked her curiously.
Melanie thought about it for bit, thinking of all the names that came into her head. "I'd like to name her Amelia." She said happily. "It's a beautiful name."
"Your mothers name?" Brad was very unpleased with this name choice. "Why on earth would you name her after that beast."
"Because some of us still love our mothers, Brad." Melanie said angrily while rolling her eyes. "And she was born a week after my mother birthday, I think it's only fair if I do this."
Brad sighed. "Fine, Amelia it is." Brad sulked over to a chair in the corner of the room, and Melanie watched from the hospital bed, very pleased with herself for winning another argument.
Soon the Nurse walked back into the room with baby Amelia in her arms, a great big smile plastered across her face. "The Baby is healthy and she will be ready to go him in a few hours with her mom!" The Nurse announces happily. "Congratulations, now what would you like to name her?" The nurse asked, pulling out a paper and pen.
"Her name will be Amelia Blooms." Melanie said happily, looking over at Brad who looked none the pleased with the name choice.
"Beautiful name." The nurse said as she wrote it down. "And will it be spelt A, M, E, L, I, A?" The nurse asked.
"Yes." Melanie said plainly. "Can I hold my baby?" She asked happily, grinning at the tiny baby.
"Of course." The nurse smiled and gave Amelia to Melanie. "One more thing though." The nurse said, her smile fading away and suddenly the rooms tension grew. "Her eyes haven't opened yet, which is very peculiar because all of the baby's eyes ever given birth here at least, were open." The nurse looked at the couple grimly.
"So what does this mean?" Melanie asked eagerly, wanting to know if her baby will be okay.
Brad had gotten up and was standing next to Melanie. "Yes, doctor, is something going to happen?"
"Well, we can't put her eye colour onto her birth certificate, so you'll have to come back once her eyes were open." The said, a nervous smile on her face. "Just be ready if anything go wrong, grey eyes have happened in peculiar circumstances."
Melanie gasped. "Grey eyes!" Melanie was now freaking out over this, Brad trying to hold her hand to calm her down. "You mean my baby girl could have no future or anything for her in society!" Tears dropped from Melanie's eyes, just thinking about that broke her heart.
"I'm sure Amelia will be okay, Mel." Brad told her, squeezing her hand reassuring her. "After all, Grey is the rarest eye colour to get." Brad told her, but he too wore a nervous smile and was bracing for the worst.
Amelia started crying, as if understanding the whole idea that she could have grey eyes from her most peculiar birth.
"Well, I best get to feeding her." Melanie said, a small smile on her face which didn't stay long.
The nurse nodded and left the room and Melanie began feeding Amelia. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife, and the silence was unbearable.
A few hours later, Amelia still had not opened her eyes and the couple was discharged from the hospital. "Oh, I hope she doesn't have grey eyes." Melanie said as she buckled Amelia into a car seat in the back of the car as Brad got in the drivers seat.
"I'm sure she'll get brown or green eyes." Brad said reassuringly, giving Melanie a smile before turning back to face the windshield.
"Well I hope you're right." Melanie said as she climbed into the passenger seat.
The ride home was silent, waiting in anticipation for Amelias eyes to open and show her eye colour, but it didn't happen. Day after day and her eyes stayed shut. Melanie and Brad kept getting more and more worried and nervous for their daughter, for maybe there really was something wrong with her.
"Brad, I think we need to take her to the doctors, her eyes still haven't opened!" Melanie was now having a full blown panic attack, as tears poured from her eyes. "I don't want her to die!"
Brad went over and hugged his wife, for he had to be the hopeful one. Even if Brad didn't feel that way. "Melanie I'm sure they're going to open in a few hours, just give it a few days." He told her reassuringly, squeezing her tightly.
"I'll go make dinner." Melanie said gloomily and she sulked into the kitchen. Brad sighed and went and sat on the couch, reading the newspaper.
After a good dinner of spaghetti and meatballs and watching some TV, the couple went to bed, their hopes low and they're worries high.
Later into the night Amelia started crying, her wails woke up Melanie and Brad.
"I'll go check her." Melanie said groggily as she got up out of bed and went to see Amelia. But as soon as she got to Amelia she gasped so loudly Brad came running after her.
"Melanie what's wrong?" He asked nervously from the door, anticipating an answer.
"Brad! Her eyes are open!" Melanie still stood there shocked, goggling at Amelia.
Brad walked over and to his surprise, her eyes were indeed open, but they appeared to be violet.
"Brad, they're violet! That's not even a colour, what does it mean!" Melanie looked at Brad desperately for an answer, but he didn't have any that made sense.
"Maybe they're just blue." Brad suggested.
"Blue!" Melanie shrieked angrily. "Does that look blue to you!"
"Calm down, Mel." Brad said calmly, holding her hand. "Maybe they are violet eyes."
The room fell silent, they didn't want to accept this, but the evidence was right in from of them.
