Leah Watson pushed with all her strength on that last contraction. Sweat poured off her forehead, and her hands that gripped the handrail were slick to the touch.
Letting out a cry, she pushed and the life that she had been carrying for the last 9 months came out crying.
The doctor told her that it was a girl, but she couldn't look. She couldn't look at her child.
The nurse asked her if she wanted to hold her daughter, but she shook her head no.
The baby was placed in the hospital bassinet and she moved her arms and legs wildly. Leah saw this and it broke her heart.
After the baby's footprints were placed on the birth certificate, Leah's name was put on it.
And Danny Messer's name put on as the father.
