Chapter 1: A newcomer in town

Spain, Puente Viejo,1902

After the very simple, but yet beautiful midwife named Pepa Balmes came into town that afternoon to the small town of Puente Viejo. She got a room in the not very large hotel called La Posada, which was owned by the Ulloa family. " Hello, is anyone here?" said Pepa standing across the other side of the counter of the small hotel.

She looked around the small room, while waiting for someone to come, so she can perhaps get a room until for the time being she is in town. She rang the golden bell that laid on top of the desk receptionist counter. When finally, she heard a quiet whispering between two persons and from what Pepa could tell that whoever they were, one of them were walking from the other end of the window and through the door. She knew that the door lead straight to the restaurant.

" Hello, miss. What can I do for you ?" Said the young blonde woman." Yes, I would like a room please." Said the confident midwife. "Of course, there's only one room that is available through." said the blonde.

" That's perfectly good, Thank you. Can I ask you what is your name?" said Pepa to the woman kindly. " Alright, if you can just sign your name here and ill give your room key? My name is Emilia Ulloa and what's your name ?" said Emilia to Pepa with a smile on her face and asked her. " My name is Pepa Balmes." answered Pepa with a grin. Emilia asked her again, "What is your occupation ?." Pepa replied with a smile that appeared upon her face, " I am a midwife ". " Thats excellent, there's no one that can assist a pregnant woman ... other than the doctor", told Emilia to the newcomer.

" Nice to meet you, and might I say you have a beautiful name." said Emilia and complimenting her. " Likewise, and Thank you." replied Pepa." Here is you room key, I will show you where is your room." said the blonde. " I'd like that, thank you very much Emilia." she said. While walking to show her the bedroom, Emilia told the tall strong brunette that she should meet some people who live in Puente Viejo also The Montenegro's ; so she can get aquatinted with them all. She took a quick look at her to see her reaction, and the midwife simply nodded and flashed a small smile , and just said, Yes that would be nice. Thank you Emilia."

Emilia and Pepa walked across through the other side of the room of the receptionist desk; until reaching the wooden door which would lead them to the beautiful midwife's new bed chambers. Emilia took out a silver key out her apron and then her right hand reached the door knob also turned it, until it open it. The room revealed a comforting but simple beige colored chambers with a dark brown closet, small nightstand next to the medium size peachy bed with black decorating's at the end of it, a small window; but including a restroom, mirror and another closet cabnit that is white which is placed in the center and facing the bed... that can be used for medical use.
