I wish Leo were here.
That was the only thing running through Greenlee's head as she hyperventilated and screamed in pain.
"Push, Greenlee!" Dr. Hudson said.
"It HURTS!" Greenlee cried.
"I know, sweetheart, you can do it!" Greenlee's old friend Jake Martin said, Bianca standing beside him… Greenlee was glad to have friends supporting her through this… although Bianca was Leo's best friend…
God, Greenlee wished he were there.
"The baby's head is crowning… here come the shoulders…" Dr. Hudson said. Greenlee was still screaming, that was how bad it hurt.
Then, Greenlee heard crying.
A baby crying.
"It's a girl." The doctor said happily.
"Is she okay?" Greenlee asked nervously, as it had been a difficult pregnancy, but mainly because of her depression.
Dr. Hudson laughed.
"She's just fine. We're just going to clean her up a bit."
The doctors took the small child to clean her off as she wailed. They wrapped her up in a blanket and brought her over to her mother. She placed the girl in Greenlee's arms as she cried.
"She's gorgeous…" Bianca whispered.
"She's screaming." Jake cracked.
"Shh… it's okay, sweetie… Mommy's here…" Greenlee soothed the little girl cradled in her arms, who's crying had died down as Greenlee swayed her back and forth gently.
"So does this little girl have a name, or will we just be calling her Baby Girl Smythe?"
"Lea." Greenlee said. "Lea Bianca Du Pres."
