THE BEST CHRISTMAS
1 - in the hospital
My cries cut off abrutly, a light scream filling the silence in its place, as the nurse rose with a red body in her hands. She pulled it away from me, to clean it abit and wrap it in a white cotton blanket, but then she came to my side and held her arms out to me, the bundle still securely held in them. I hesitated, seeing how small and danty the baby was, and I didnt want to brake it or something like that. But then my arms came out almost instinctively, and soon held the tiny baby in them, as they brung it back into my body so I could see it properly.
It had the tiniest hands and fingers anyone had ever seen in thier whole life, and then its head was tiny aswel, framed with thick, brown, curly locks of hair that were already long'ish. Its mouth was pinky-red and puckered out, with its little nose so tony that it made me smile. Then its eyes started to blink themselves open, and they stared up at me with thier gray-blue-ness like saphire enncrusted diamonds on a ruby stone, carved by the worlds best and to perfection.
"Congratulations on your baby girl" the nurse said then, and made my eyes widen instantly, qiuckly followed by my shocked smile, although I couldnt tear my eyes off the babies now as I replied to her.
"A girl?"
"Yes, a little baby girl" she confirmed, her smile clear in her voice aswel, and my tears started falling again then, but for a different reason now.
When they'd finished everything and cleaned up, I still had the baby girl wrapped in my arms tightly, not having looked away from her once, although she'd closed her eyes again now.
I held her tightly all the way back to the ward aswel, still crying qiuetly to myself, untill they were gone and I was left in the room with 4 other mums and thier new born babies. Most of them were crying, except the women next to me with a baby boy just hours old, who was alseep in his contained bed next to her and its farther.
All of the women here had guys with them actualy, which made me grimace slightly, but the moment couldnt hold for long as I stared back down at my daughter.
I could believe something this beautifull, something this abserlutely perfect, could actualy be mine.
I lay on the bed with her like that for about an hour, when I'd fed her and changed her once, untill I heard familier voices coming into the ward, which only knocked me off my stareing focus slightly. My mother; my two brothers, Shaurn and Darren; my sister, Jane; and my brother-in-law, Steve, came into the room noisely, qiuetening down abit, but then just searching for me instantly.
Shaurn spotted me first, and then notified all the others as he started walking towards me qiuckly, his eyes wide and full of pure shock. He was stareing at the baby in my arms intensely, and then he met my anxious but so glad gaze qiuckly, frowning a tiny bit as he smiled faintly at me. My mother reached my other side then, and smiled so wide it made everyone else's wider too.
"Sammy, I carnt believe you actualy did it" she muttered, mostly to herself, as I turned to look up at her smileing.
"Say hello to your new grand-daughter" I said, and then smiled down at her proudly, as everyone else's eyes widened and my mother edged forward.
"Its a girl?" she asked, but no one needed to confirm it now. "oh my god! She's perfect, abserlutely............. perfect" she sighed, and then brung her finger out to touch her cheek softly.
"Well done, mate" Jane said to me, and I smiled back up at her briefly, then at everyone else as they all repeated her praise in simular words.
"Oh, let me hold her, please" my mother siad then, almost bursting with eagerness, which made most of us laugh. She bent down, so I unlocked my arms from around her fragile body slowly, letting my mother replace it with her's and then lift her up and cradled her in her arms just the same.
She started cooeing to her lightly, which made me smile abit more as we all watched them, and then Darren came to my side aswel and rubbed the top of my arm softly.
"You look like shit, kid" he told me, and then him and Shaurn started laughing, whilst Jane nudged Shaurns arm and told them to pack it in. I didnt mind so much right now, though, as I couldnt care what I looked like for this reward.
"What you gunna' call her?" Darren asked then, looking over at my mother, who still had her head close to my daughters, and was still whispering light coo's to her softly.
"I dont know ye-"
"I like Sarah" my mother interrupted me, and Jane scowled at her slightly.
"It's Sammy's choice, mum" she said, her tone abit firmer now.
"Well gran picked your name"
"Well your not gran, and this aint 1985"
"I was actualy thinking more along the lines of........... Hayley" I intercepted thier little banter, and attracted everyone's eyes again.
"Hayley's nice" Shaurn agreed, smileing at me supportively, so at least someone liked it.
"Yeah- but Hayley what?" Steve asked then, speaking for the first time now.
"Hayley Jane's nice" Jane suggested, winking at me slightly, and making me laugh more.
"It is............ but it's-"
"It's Eminem's daughters name. It'd be sad to name her that" my mother told her then, as she came back towards me. Jane held her arms out for the baby, but my mother shyed away from her and turned around again frowning. "I've only just got her" she protested, but then after a few mroe seconds just gave up and past her gently to Jane's awaiting arms.
"What about Hayley May, like me then" I suggested, and everyone smiled more, some nodding slowly as they thourght.
"That's realy nice" Darren murmured to me, moveing my hair out of my face then. "as long as she's a Green, right?"
"Hayley May Green" Jane said, stareing down at her with adoreing eyes.
"A beautifull name for a beautifull girl" my mother added, smileing again now, although she was already urgeing towards Jane again, wanting the baby back inher arms instead. Everyone knew my mother was the biggest baby-hogger in the world. She just said she didnt care, and that she was allowed to cuddle her grandchildren all the time.
I bet she didnt expect to be cradleing my child at only 15, now did she? more so, neither did I though.
Everyone had a little hold before I got my baby back, and then the room was starting to fill up with all the visitors from different families, mine growing increaseingly though, as my Gran and Grandad came aswel soon after that.
My Grandad still showed abit of his dissaproval and annoyence of my getting pregnant so young, but it's just like my mother did, and she survived through it just like I have. My Gran was more hugs and holding the baby and kisses and baby-talk (that she was the ultamate master at) through the whole hour they were here. Everone who had come had said how gorgeous she is, and asked if I was alright, and what I planned to do now. When Shaurn and Darren had gone out for a fag, and my Gran and Grandad had gone, I lay on the bed holding my baby girl, with Jane and my mother sat on the bottom of the bed aswel.
"Sammy, have you heard anything from Jason?" Jane asked me then, and I could hear it in her tone that she had wanted to ask for a while now, but the boys would flip if he was even mentioned right now. Shaurn still wanted to kill him from getting me pregnant in the first place.
"No"
"Does he even know your in here?" my mother asked, raiseing her eyebrows up at me now accuseingly.
"No" I repeated in the same tone, and she sighed then. "well I'm sorry mum, but I didnt have much time to pause the whole preseagier and go outside to call him. He wouldnt of answered anyway, probably. We havent spoken in 3 months because of that big bust up with Shaurn"
"I know, Sammy, but he needs to know that he's got a daughter, that he's a dad now" Jane said, and then my mother actualy agreed with her- halalooia!
"D'you think I dont know that? But I carnt exactly get up and just walk out the hospital, right infront of the boys, and call him to come over"
"Well give me his number, and I'll try and call him. I wont do it infront of the guys, dont worry" Jane said then, and got out her phone ready. I told her the number- that I knew off by heart now- and she got up qiuckly, putting the phone to her ear as she walked out of the room and then out of the ward. My mother just looked back at me with raised eyebrows.
