~{ARLEEN'S POV}~
***
5 months later…
"Don't hold back! Push!!!...yes, it's almost here, push!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
I screamed with all my guts as I felt my baby slowly slip out of my womb.
"Oh my goodness! You did it sweetheart!"
My mother happily kissed my forehead and rubbed my arm in a loving manner.
"Oh, look how cute it is," she left my side and went to hold it while I was still reeling from everything.
It was a relief and I loved the way I was feeling.
Was this what it meant to be free?
"Why isn't he crying?" My mother asked in worry.
"Let me see," the doctor said.
At their conversation, I stared at the ceiling in fear.
I heard hurried footsteps as they took my baby away while I laid on the bed with my mother by my side as well as a nurse who was cleaning me up.
I couldn't speak or ask anything for fear that it might come true.
