I woke up to the sound of crying. I opened my eyes to darkness and looked to my right I looked at my alarm clock. ugh it 3 in the morning. I thought to myself I got up out of my queen size bed in my new apartment in New York. I started walking down the hall with my bare feet which started to get cold. I followed the sound of crying which lead to the second bedroom. I open the door and there was my crying daughter Audrey. I walked over to her.
"Shh..shhh." I said towards her hoping it will calm her down "Mommy right here." I picked her up with both hand and laid her across my shoulder so her head was on my shoulder. I started bouncing us up and down while I tried to figure out what was wrong. I concluded that she was hungry so I took off my shirt and started to breastfeed her. I looked down on my 7 month old baby my beautiful baby. I ran my other hand through her hair her black but fuzzy soft hair and her gray eye she looked like a mixture of both me and Patch.

I clicked on the receiver from downstairs to the person at the desk. "Bring him up here."MElissa sighed in relief and start to walk away. "Wait wait wait Melissa you need to work on talk and getting to the point remember rule number one-"
"Yes be confident." Melissa said and nodded. She shut the door.
I turned in my chair to face the window of New York behind me and see all the busy people rushing to get to their places. I smiled Patch leaving me and Audrey actually helped me to become who I am today I would have never gotten so far that I did without thinking that all that I have done was to benefit Audrey.
Some cleared their throat.
"Um.. ." Melissa said unsure of what to do. I know that voice anywhere I was just hoping it wasn't who I thought it was.I turned in my chair.
"Um.. this is "
