The screams of childbirth ripped the sound of the room, follow by the crying and whimpering of an infant.
"Mrs. Maquire... it's a girl." the doctor smiled, handling the newborn with care. The mother smiled lovingly.
"May I hold her?" He returned the smile back.
"But of course." The woman accepted the child greatly.
"Hello there. Welcome to the world, beautiful butterfly." She tickled her nose with her daughter.
"What is her name going to be, Katie?" She smiled, as if giving it some thought before looking the doctor in his pale green eyes.
"Chelsi. Chelsi May Maquire."

The baby looked at her mother with confused eyes, and nuzzled itself into her chest as she held it close.
Katie had a new reason to live, to love her life.
Being blessed with this child was her love.
But love turns sour.
.
Chelsi lived with her mom all her life up to currently. They had moved to Bluffton, Minnesota finally, after her family encountered some trouble in Vermont, and South Carolina before that. The first location, where Mom died, was Wyoming. At the age of nine, Chelsi was given to her step-mother, whom her Dad impregnated and left on her too. Then her step-mom re-married, having a child with her step-father, and now has a younger step-brother named Jerry.
Chelsi fixed her hair and poked at Jerry, making a silly face while hoisting him on her shoulders. "Chelsi... Sis...ster." he mumbled out while she ripped dandelions out of the earth's soil. "I'll make you one too, Jerry!" she announced, and got to work while Jerry slept among the tall grass.
Without their knowledge, a snake had decided to make its way towards the small child for its dinner. The python slithered around the boy's neck, just as Chelsi took notice of this, and grabbed her dagger. She decapitated the serpent, protecting Jerry from his death. "Don't worry, you'll be alive for your present!" Her naive mind believed, and soared beyond the world's expectations.
