Katy's POV

I went back to my room and thought of all the moments we've spent together. I grabbed the picture of him and me from the night stand and saw how happy we looked. I started crying even more. Then I placed the picture in my drawer and slammed it shut.

Days passed and I felt all alone. I told my mom that I was expecting. She was disappointed that I made her a grandmother at such a young age but supported me anyways. She was mad at first but later got over it; she was actually now excited to have a new baby in the house since it was only the two of us. Every night we would sit together and just hang out like old times.

After a few months I started getting a bigger belly and had weird food cravings. The morning sickness was horrible. And today was the day I was going to find out if it was a boy or girl. I was so excited. I didn't care what was going to be, but I knew I was going to love him or her with all my heart.

"Come on mom we're gonna be late," I yelled, gathering all of my belongings.

"Sorry I got held up. Let's go."

Then we went outside towards the car and headed towards the doctor's office. When we got there I went up to the receptionists to check in.

"Hello."

"Name please."

"Katy Swartz."

"Ah yes right on time. Please take a seat and wait in the waiting room until you are called." "Thank you," I said.

Then I walked back to the waiting room and sat down in a seat next to my mom.

"Have you considered if you wanted a boy or a girl?"

"I don't care what my baby will be."

Then we started talking about other stuff like after I have my baby. Am I going to go to college or get a job, blah blah blah. Then I heard my name being called.

"Katy Swartz," says a nurse.

Well that's me. I got up and followed her into the room.

"Right in here Ms. Swartz," she says gesturing me in.

I went in and sat down on the bench while I waited for the doctor to come in. Then I thought about Daemon. Is he missing me? What if he had never left? Would he be here with me right now? My mind was wondering off until I heard a knock on the door and someone came in.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Kinmen and you must be Ms. Katy Swartz I presume," said the doctor.

"Yes that's me."

"Alright can you please lie down."

I start to lie down and get in a comfortable position.

"Can you please lift up you shirt," she asked as I start to lift up my shirt until my whole stomach shows.

"I am going to put this gel on your stomach so it might feel a little cold at first."

Then she starts putting on the gel and pressing buttons on the monitor. She starts showing me the baby. I could see my baby's little head, arms, and legs. She asks me the question I've been waiting for.

"Would you like to know the gender of you baby Ms. Swartz?"

"Oh yes please!" I say excitedly.

"Well congratulation Ms. Swartz, you are going to have a baby girl!"

At that moment I couldn't be anymore happier. I was going to have a baby girl! Then the doctor asked me if I wanted any photos of her and started wiping the gel off my stomach. When I walked out of the doctor's office my mom was standing in front of me instantly.

"So how did it go?" she says excitedly

"Fine," is all I say.

"Well tell me already is it a boy or a girl!?" she says urgently.

"I'm going to have a girl!"

Then she gets really enthusiastic over the news.

"That's great! What are you going to name her?"

"I don't know yet."

"Then let's hurry up and get home so you can start picking out names. This is going to be so much fun!"

When we got home, mom got my laptop out and started searching up baby names.

"Come here Katy" she says. I sit down next to her on the couch.

"Okay, have you thought of any names you might like?" she asks.

"I haven't really thought of any names yet mom. I wanted to wait and see what she was going to be." "Okay let's start. How about Janice?"

"No."

"Heather?"

"Nope."

"Emma."

I shake my head no.

"Okay well you look on the laptop while I go make us some hot chocolate."

Then she hurriedly goes into the kitchen. I take the laptop and set it on my lap. I start searching through the internet of names which I might like. After a while I finally found a name that catches my eye. Aaliyah. That's perfect. My mom comes back and hands me my cup of hot chocolate. She asks me if I've chosen a name yet.

"Yeah."

"What name did you pick?"

"I want to call her Aaliyah."

"Ahh what a pretty name."

Later, we start talking about what we are going to buy and stuff. Then she asks me something unexpectedly.

"So are you going to give Aaliyah her father's last name?"

I didn't think about that.

"I guess," is all I say.

"Well okay."

I think that Aaliyah deserves to have her father's name. I hope Daemon would one day meet his daughter in person.

It was 9 months ago that I found out that I was pregnant and that Daemon and the rest of his family have left without a trace. I'm due in a couple of weeks now. I can't wait for Aaliyah to come out already. I am very excited. We've made the guest bedroom into a nursery. I painted the walls pink with flowers. Everything was already set for the arrival. Today I was finishing a new review for my blog. My mom was out working in the hospital. Later when I was getting a snack I started getting a pain in my abdomen. I thought it was probably contractions. Then I started to feel more pain. I thought I was due in a few weeks from now but Aaliyah probably wanted to come earlier than expected. I went to grab my cell phone to call my mom while holding my swollen stomach. She picked up her phone on the third ring.

"What is it Katy honey?"

"Mom I think the baby is coming."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea I'm pretty sure," I say in one slow breath.

Trying not to think of how much it hurts right now.

"Okay honey I'm on my way so just sit tight."

A few minutes later my mom comes and we get in the car so we can go to the emergency room. They put me in a room and they ask me to start pushing.

After all the pain I went through I finally have my baby girl. I just really wished Daemon was here. My mom comes in with a camera.

"Oh Katy she is so beautiful."

"I know."

I stare at my baby girl and think how my life is going to change completely.
