| Chapter 3 “Dan you should see her house...” Ashley said before I interrupted him. “I know she told me that that Mark guy had friends over and they didn’t clean up.” I said “No man, it is more then that. It is really bad, it has really raggy carpet, the walls are all peeling, there isn’t even a kitchen, just a little flat stove thing. Her bed is just one blanket on a mattress on the floor.” He said “She can’t bring her baby home to that. What am I going to do, I can't let her go back there. I know her much but I really want to help her out. How about while we are on break, for Jacob, I can stay up here and try to help her find a apartment, that her and the baby both can stay in.” I said seeing that as my only option at the moment. “Where is she going to stay until then?” Ashley said. “In my hotel room. It is like a mini apartment, it has a spare room and a kitchen off of the living room. I'll sleep in the spare room and her and the baby can have the master room. What else can I do?” I asked. “Yea, that will work. We'll figure something else out. I feel the same way you do.” Ashley said. “Not likely." I said under my breath "Lets go back in,” I said as I opened the door a crack “are you descent?” I asked. “Yea.” She replied with a laugh. I opened the door and we both walked in. “Guess what?” I said sitting down at the chair beside her bed. “What?” She asked “We are gonna stay with you, you don’t mind do you?” I asked. I figured I would tell her about me helping her and my plan later. “No, I don’t mind, that is very sweet of you. It is going to get pretty nasty, though. Can you handle it?” She asked daring me with her eyes. “Can I handle it? CAN I HANDLE IT?” I said puffing out my chest. “Of course I can, plus I was with my aunt when she had her last baby about a year ago.” I said as she started laughing. Then the baby’s heart monitor started to beep really loudly, and 4 or 5 nurses ran into the room checking everything and pushing me and Ashley to the side. When that happened, it scared us all. It went back to normal which was a good sign. “What happened is it alright?” Desiree asked. I am guessing that she didn't know the sex of the baby “It looks to be doing alright, I’d say your baby just had it’s first nightmare. It just got scared. We are going to get you into the delivery room in about 5 minutes. This baby is coming fast. Are they both going in with you?” She asked pointing at Ashley and Dan. I looked at them one last time, they both gave me thumbs up so I said yes. 30 minutes later (Desiree’s POV) “Ok give me one final push, and this will all be over.” The doctor said. I looked at Ashley and Dan, grabbed there hands and pushed as hard as I could. Then I heard a cry. My baby cried. I started crying as Dan kissed me on the forehead. “Congratulations you have a healthy baby girl!” He said as he wrapped her up and handed her to me. She was so beautiful. “You wanna hold her?” I asked Dan. He looked a little suprised but carefully picked her up. Ashley was on my left, still holding my hand and pushing my hair out of my face. I looked up to him and he gave me a hug. “Thanks so much!” I said. One of the nurses took the baby to get her cleaned and dressed. They said that she was healthy enough to stay in the room with me, until I left. I was so tired I fell asleep right after I got back to my room. When I finally woke up, I was still tired. I saw Dan standing by the window with my baby in his arms. I needed to think of a name. “Ashley Danielle” I said not meaning to say it out loud. Dan turned around and smiled. “What was that?” He asked “I have a name for her. Ashley Danielle. I figured she should be named after the two guys who helped bring her into this world.” I said as I started to drift in and out of sleep. I woke back up around 4 in the morning. A little less tired this time. Dan was sitting in the chair right next to my bed with Ashley still in his arms. I carefully got out of bed and picked her up out of his arms. He stired and woke up. “I’m just putting her in her bed.” I said as I placed her into her little crib on wheels, it looked like. “What time is it?” He asked trying to hold his eyes open. “About 4 in the morning. Why don’t you get up in my bed and go to sleep. I think I am going to take Ashley for a walk." I said as I gave him a look that dared him to object. So he got up into my bed and was asleep probably before his head hit the pillow. I wheeled the cart out of the room that was holding Ashley and just walked aound. Life was looking better. I got rid of a jerk and got two great guys and a beautiful baby girl. My life was meant for something. I now knew my purpose for living. |
