About half-way through Melodie's pregnancy, Duke and Melodie received news that they never thought they would hear. "It appears that your daughter will be born with Spina Bifida." Melodie's doctor said at her 20-week ultrasound, where she also found out her baby was a girl. It was discovered that their daughter had this condition when they found a quarter-sized hole in her tail-bone. At the sound of those words, Duke and Melodie didn't know what to think. They sat there in front of the doctor in silence. "Also, it looks like your daughter has fluid on the brain." "What?" Duke and Melodie were beyond confused at this point. They were definitely not expecting this news. "The term for this is hydrocephalus. She will need to have a shunt inserted into her head immediately after she is born. She will have two surgeries close to each other. Your baby will need to transfer by ambulance to Children's Hospital so that they can treat her condition. If she doesn't get the shunt, she won't be able to survive for very long. Once she is born, you will notice her head is slightly bigger than it should be."

Macie Vanessa Halstead loves hearing stories, she always has done. Whether it be fairytales or storybooks, her face would light up every time she was sat down to hear one. But there was a certain way her face would change with excitement and anticipation when she was told a real-life one and the six-year-old especially loved hearing ones of before she was born, calling it the real-life fairytale. However one day the girl's curiosity comes back to bite her parents in the ass. She wants to know her story, the same story that Jay and Hailey didn't like to remember back on. They had wanted to tell her but couldn't find a way for the young girl to understand - and it was still difficult for them to talk about themselves, but their adamant daughter was more stubborn than the both of them combined and wasn't letting it go easy. So while waiting they decide to tell it as it was, the story of how she was born. Macie's story, as they called it. *set in the same timeline as 'another life'* - Requested by: Kaitylynn26 -
