"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hale! It is a girl."
The doctor handed Ruth and George Hale their newborn daughter.
"Did you pick out a name yet?" The doctor asked. His brown hair brushed the side of his face, touching his eyebrows.
"We were thinking about naming her Rosalie," Ruth answered. Her voice was full of pride and love. Their newborn daughter would be their sunshine and joy for the next 18 years.
6 years later in 1921
Rosalie POV
"Rosalie! Rosalie! Where are you dear?" I heard my mother call from the bottom of the steps. I quickly peeked at myself in the mirror to make sure that the red bow that tied my blonde hair out of my face was still there.
"Rosalie!" My mother's voice boomed around the house. I could tell that she was becoming impatient. I hopped joyfully down the steps toward my mother.
"Rosalie dear," my mother exclaimed, "You don't want to be late for your first day of school!"
I surely did not want to be late. I had to make a good impression on my teacher, so my mother picked out my favorite peach dress that had flowers dotted in random places.
In one swift motion, my mother picked me up and carried me out to our 2 year old Ford car. My mommy and daddy loved to drive me around town in it. When my mom went to the shore, she would take me because every time we went, people would compliment on how pretty I looked, and that made mom and dad feel happy and proud to have me.
"Here we are Rosalie," Mom commented.
"Mommy I don't wanna go in! I am scared!"
"I will come in with you dear if it makes you feel any better."
I just shook my head and I felt my eyes welling up and tears would soon fall out.
"Mommy!" I cried, "I don't want to go in!"
"Rosalie," My mother said sternly, "do not make a scene. Let's go."
She pulled me, unwillingly, out of the car and carried me through the doors to the schoolhouse. When we entered the classroom, she sat me down next to a girl in pigtails with black hair and yellow ribbons.
"I have to go now Rosalie, you will be fine."
She gave me a hug and left me. I started to cry again, and the girl next to me pulled a handkerchief out of the pocket in her dress and handed it to me.
"Thanks," I mumbled as I took it and wiped my eyes and nose.
"I am Vera," the girl held out one of her hands. I did not know what to do. Should I shake it or just stare?
"I'm Rosalie Hale," I replied and shook her hand. She was obviously lower in the middle class than I was, but I did not care, she was nice. The day went by fast and before I knew it, my mother was back through the schoolhouse doors ready to pick me up.
After we left the schoolhouse and got into the car to drive home Mom decided to strike up a conversation.
"So my dear, how was your first day of school? Did you make any friends?"
"Yup," I replied back. My two front teeth were missing for two days now so it was still hard to talk normally. "I met this nice girl and her name is Vera. We are the best friends in the whole wide world."
"That is sort of hard because you just met her today."
I just shrugged and something on the street took my attention away from the conversation. A puppy had jumped in front of the car a couple of feet away. My mom slammed on the breaks, just missing the puppy. Dust flew everywhere. California had very dusty roads; they did not have stone or even cobblestone streets yet. As soon as we stopped, I jumped out of the car to see if the puppy was alright.
"Rosalie," my mother yelled, "stay away from that thing, it is a stray!"
I ignored her for the first time. I picked the small puppy up. It was shaking in my arms.
"Can I keep it Mom?" I gave her my best puppy dog eyes.
My mother sighed, "We will see what your father has to say when he gets home from the bank. If he says you cannot keep it then we will throw it out on the streets."
"Thank you Mommy!" I gave her a big hug. She was getting fat because she said that I would have a baby brother or sister in 6 months! I was really happy because I could be a big sister.
When we got home I went to go give my new puppy a bath. While I was washing the brown floppy eared puppy, I wondered what I should name it. I also wondered if it was a girl or boy.
"Mommy," I yelled downstairs after I dried off the once dust infested dog.
"Is everything all right? Did that mutt hurt you?" My mom raced up the stairs, her yellow sundress flying around her knees.
"No. I just wanted to know if it was a boy or girl."
My mother checked the foot of the dog, I think. I don't know how you can tell by its foot, but I guess my mom is really good at those kinds of things.
"It is a girl." My mom said after a quick look at its foot. "What are you going to name her?"
"Lucy!"
"That is a wonderful name," my mother said.
At that moment, there was a loud smash from downstairs. Someone was in our house…
